7. One of my mom's "growin' up poor in Oklahoma" stories involved meals

with squirrel brains as the main course. Needless to say, that perspective made Hamburger Helper taste like the best thing the world.

Hey, sweetie. :hug:

2. a squeeze of orange?

4. Two words: Pineapples! n/t

6. Wrap it in a tortilla, and deep fry it.

10. dude!

Does that work? I have been banging my head thinking what I can deep-fry.

My akita bit a hole in my big bottle of vegetable oil and I responded by putting bottle in deep-fryer. All I could think of were french fries.

:hi:

12. I dunno.

It seems one can deep fry just about anything at this point. Probably have to be wrapped in a couple tortillas so it doesn't soak through.

Actually, now I'm thinking more of a donut type of a thing, stuffed with the chili, then deep fried. Chili donuts.

13. I'm gonna experiment after I do the fries

mmmmm chili donut...

8. Smoked Spanish paprika

It'll add a hot, smoky flavor and your chili will turn out the best!

9. A little bit of cinnamon.

Marries REALLY well with the chiles.

11. Some raw chocolate.

[ashling]

14. Squid

or maybe Salmon. Salmon woud be better, but squid sounds cooler

[hippywife]

15. Both

cinnamon and cocoa powder. A little cloves, too.

16. Cottage cheese! That is if you don't use cheddar.
