CHILI

Today's recipe is a mild, very easy chili recipe.  I found this at food.com.  I've already made it twice.  Mr. Dick likes hot, spicy food and I prefer not so hot, but with this you can spice it up as much as you want. 

I went last week to stay for a few days with brother Dicka who is living in Brooklin, Maine.   Brooklin is the home of our father.  He was a lover of the sea and loved all the wonderful foods that come from the sea.  Weather was beautiful, and I had a great time.  I made this chili and had some relatives over for dinner one night.  Brother Dick has a stove just no gas line hooked up yet. So I used his small electic skillet to cook the onions and peppers and in small batches I cooked the ground beef.  It worked. Want something bad enough you can always find a way.....................Enjoy
