\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I sit here pondering some important thoughts.\u00a0 No!\u00a0 I’m not sitting on the porcelain throne.\u00a0 Yet, I do agree that some of the best thinking happens while on the throne.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 It is the time of year when OK & TX are having their local and county shows.\u00a0 My first thought–“Why in the hell is there even a thing such as a local stock show?”\u00a0 \u00a0Seriously–There is no merit to having a local stock show.\u00a0 Does the football team have a local football game?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 They call it practice.\u00a0 But if you have a local stock show, somebody gets pissed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
BIG disclaimer.\u00a0 Shattuck does NOT have a local stock show.\u00a0 And when they want to start having one, they can get a new ag teacher.\u00a0 And they need to remember the fact that nobody wanted this job back in 2014.\u00a0 So, back to the thought…..local stock shows should be illegal.\u00a0 This is not a matter of Kelln opinion.\u00a0 This is FACT!<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 There are other important items on my mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I like chili.\u00a0 Personally, I think that chili has to have beans in it.\u00a0 Some don’t agree.\u00a0 They would be wrong.\u00a0 I also think that chili needs to have some kick to it.\u00a0 I like eating chili straight out of the pan, while still on the stove, using nothing but a cracker as a dipping utensil.\u00a0 I want to sweat a little bit while eating chili.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I also like using chili as a condiment.\u00a0 It works so well to top other food items with chili.\u00a0 Baked tater?\u00a0 Sure, put a dollop of chili on that spud.\u00a0 Burger with chili?\u00a0 Not always but it works.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
My question–What is the best concoction of which chili is a must have?<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 To me, this class quickly sorts to a top pair.\u00a0 Although this pair is close, I do feel that there are some differences.\u00a0 Lets take a look at this pair.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chili dog–for starters, chili is in the name.\u00a0 It’s just another hot dog until you put a ladle of chili down the spine of that dog while resting on that bun.\u00a0 I like hot dogs.\u00a0 I LOVE chili dogs.\u00a0 Take a bun, lay some Best Maid hamburger slices down the inner cavity of the bun and then rest the dog carcass in the bun.\u00a0 Now, spread some chili from nose to tail of that dog, lather it with mustard, sprinkle some cheese and then make a mess eating that thing.\u00a0 Between the mustard and the chili, you better have a towel handy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Next is the the Frito pie.\u00a0 I like Fritos.\u00a0 Take a bowl, drop a handful of ribbon shaped corn chips in the bottom.\u00a0 Then a scoop of chili, then more Fritos, then some more chili.\u00a0 Basically, make a lasagna with Fritos and chili as the layers.\u00a0 Then hit it with some Tabasco and then some cheese.\u00a0 I normally eat too much when it comes to a frito chili pie.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Here’s the kicker.\u00a0 If you order a dog, or a hot dog.\u00a0 You may get asked if you want chili.\u00a0 But if you order a chili dog, you dang sure get chili on it.\u00a0 If you order a Frito pie, it automatically comes with chili just the same as if you ordered a Frito chili pie.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 We will cut this pair 1 point.\u00a0 It’s close.\u00a0 The best thing about chili is that it takes several weeks to go bad.\u00a0 In that amount of time, one can make bowls of chili, Frito chili pies and chili dogs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe I’ve written about it on here before…if so…so what?\u00a0 \u00a0Go look up the audio of Ron White talking about chili in Cincinnati.\u00a0 In short… a Mexican with a goat and an onion.\u00a0 \u00a0And not having a goat on his way home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0On a side note, I recently had some young kids with me at the ag building.\u00a0 This pair of twins are REALLY picky eaters.\u00a0 They don’t like hot dogs.\u00a0 Like if they eat a corn dog, they eat the breading and leave the wiener on the stick.\u00a0 Anyways, their mom brought them lunch to the ag building.\u00a0 Cool!\u00a0 Footlong chili cheese coneys from Sonic.\u00a0 I looked at these coneys and thought, “Something don’t look right.”\u00a0 And that is when I realized that there was no footlong in the bun.\u00a0 It was just a long bun with chili and mustard.\u00a0 WTH?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 So, I asked, “You meatheads are eating female chili dogs?”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
They asked, “Why do you call them that?”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Cuz they ain’t got a weiner!”<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Peace out!!\u00a0 Have fun at your local stock show.\u00a0 We will hold the most laid back county stock show in the nation on Monday.\u00a0 We don’t care who wins as long is it is good stock, shown properly and we get done in a timely fashion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
