My wife makes her Chili with a special secret ingredient.....which I ain't disclosing. But she will be entering it into My Kiwanis Club's Chili Cookoff on Saturday. Maybe she can win!!!
I'm with Canton Mike- no beans in the chili please.
Regarding seafood- I'm weird in that respect- I have one (of many) food rules. If it came out of the water, I don't eat it. Once upon a time I thought I might like grilled swordfish, but I was wrong. Way back, up in Alaska I took a few nibbles of my pal's alderwood smoked salmon, and didn't like it very much. I can put a shrimp in my mouth, and five minutes later, I'm still chewing on it. Lobster? Forget it. Vacationing with my pals in Bar Harbor I told them- "the only good lobster is a dead lobster". I'll happily cook them for you on one condition- you have to eat them. Just the sight of an oyster grosses me out. You'd think growing up on the shores of Lake Erie I would eat yellow perch that were caught only a few hours ago, but I've never warmed to that stuff..

Hey Larry,
Some day go to The Black Pelican in Kitty Hawk, NC. Try the blackened tuna or at least the "grilled tuna bites with salsa". I get BOTH every trip & even "fish haters" in my family love these. Both are very flavorful without a "fishy" taste.

Some good ethnic food:
I can walk one block from my office and get the best of this sort of ethnic food in Northeast Ohio:

Next time you make it down Texas way I'll have to have you over for Elgin Sausage on the grill Mike. You can eat it like a hot dog or you can serve it solo with sides. Either way it's good sausage from Elgin, Texas. Served with a Shiner Bock from Shiner, Texas and you're set to go back to Ohio with a smile. Nothin' better. All you have to do is take the straight shot up Tollway 130 about an hour from SA at 85-80 MPH (legal limits for that road with minimal traffic). Worth the tolls that they bill by license plate or windshield tag if your daughter has one. Be happy to entertain you and your family if they want to come along. Bill

Man they do have some killer chicken paprikash.... mmmmmm... and yes mjp, I get the sampler every time I go to Al's...
Big fan of Hopocan's for Barberton Chicken. Or Hodge's for a burger...
I guess I didn't realize you were so close....but I see...you are from Canal Fulton. Just FYI....as I said, I am only a couple of blocks from Al's.
Next time you go....you can swing buy me and buy me lunch!
Either at Al's or Hodges....another favorite place. Best burgers in town.

They have like one Friday a month when they open for dinner.
I always thought they should be more of a dinner place. As good as the food is it is a bit"heavy" for lunch.

Flo's Bistro in North Royalton has some great Corned Beef Hash and Reuben's. They are only open until 2 pm but you can order by phone and pick up.

Oh I just mentioned that to the wife, she's made seafood pot pie for company from Ina Garten's recipe "The Barefoot Contessa", don't think we tried lobster pot pie....
.......but if you bring over a lobster she'll gladly make one for you.

Where in Texas are you again?
Where in Texas are you again?
Just N of Austin in the country near Sun City.
All those old bastards try to assassinate you on the roads and in the grocery aisles with their cars and their motorized scooters respectively.

Unfortunately, I may end up living not all that far away from you when my wife retires. As you know my daughter lives in San Antonio....and though she is not officially engaged....it is more or less unofficial. Which means she is likely going to be living there for the long run. And I may not want to live too many more winters in the ice and snow, and since my son would likely be more transient (i.e. less settled in where he may end up)....the likely destination would be to be near her. While it may not be my first choice destination wise, being near family would be more of a priority. I want no part of Florida to live in. I might like Southern Calif....but my wife wants no part of there (cost of living). I may also like Arizona....somewhere near Sedona/Prescott. My brother and several friends live in that area...but, like I said "if" grandkids come along, proximity to them would be more of a priority...I guess. But I would not really want to live in SA proper I don't think. Hate to fight traffic. I am a bit familiar with Boerne. And with Fredericksburg.....though that may be a bit too far out, as would be Johnny Manziel City (Kerrville) and Bandera.
The biggest problem would be dealing with all the DATs.

Since the completion of Toll road 130 from Georgetown to I-10 just E of SA, it is a straight shot and legal 80-85 mph trip of about 1 hour into the heart of SA. This is a great place to live and since the inception of Sun City there are multiple independent living, nursing home care and memory care units now in existence all within minutes of Sun City. Plus experienced health care providers used to dealing with geriatric medicine/care. As we get older we have the assurance that there are plenty of experts here for the elderly. I turn 71 next month and all my grandparents lived from ages 86-98, so that is reassuring to know I have experienced professionals nearby as I approach 100. It's now a major factor for remaining right here for us or moving here when you retire Gip.
You are also invited to the same beer and sausage if you are down visiting your daughter like Mike does. Be happy to show you around particularly if you are looking for a home.

He needs to buy a cowboy hat and boots before he moves there however. And he'll always be a 'damn yankee'. One of my best friends from the Navy is from Amarillo. He always wore the cowboy boots out on liberty. We were in Korea for a time and he bought some snake skin ones. I haven't heard from him for awhile. I think he lives near San Antonio.

My brother is a REAL Cowboy. He has been a ranch hand, he has been an outfitter, he has owned ranches, he has sold ranches....and now he is actually a "college professor" (even though he has only a HS formal education plus Farrier school....who teaches "ranch techniques and horsemanship" The one thing he hates are phony fuyucking "urban" cowboys....who go around wearing the boots and the hat but who would not know a horse's arse from a horse's ears (notice how those two words are anagrams of each other
. )
So....no...in deference to the real thing...who are real professionals, I would never go around trying to look like a phony phucking cowboy.

Either way it's good sausage from Elgin, Texas. Served with a Shiner Bock from Shiner, Texas and you're set to go back to Ohio with a smile. Nothin' better. All you have to do is take the straight shot up Tollway 130 about an hour from SA at 85-80 MPH (legal limits for that road with minimal traffic). Worth the tolls that they bill by license plate or windshield tag if your daughter has one. Be happy to entertain you and your family if they want to come along. Bill

Bill,
Right now, Shiner Bock is on sale here for $12.99 a 12 pack (6 packs still $8.99). I've bought all 4 12 packs they had 2 weeks running & headed back for more tomorrow!
BTW, just got (via USPS) my HEB order for Gebhardts & Adams chili powders. Will place an order soon with Penderys for some chilis.
