Back story: One day in 2001 I picked up my mail and headed to my barracks room on Camp Walker, Taegu, South Korea. In Sergeant E's Stuff magazine (anyone remember the Maxim competition?) there was a promo for a chili contest. I knew that I was the master of great chili, according to my soldiers, so I spent some time writing down my not so exact recipe (one of about 6 different styles I've made). When I felt that I had perfected my own creation, I had them try it and all wanted more. So I sent my recipe to the Marlboro Chili Roundup, and YES I was one of the 50 winners! Want a copy?
http://www.amazon.com/Mar...ing-Recipes/dp/B000CSQRC0 Because I spend most of my time these days in a vehicle provided by my employer, my PRIZE WON 2002 Ford Ranger XLT (fully loaded) honorably sits in the driveway. No major upgrades, no major alterations. 52,000 miles since I won the Cherry Red beauty about a decade ago. Total value of the prize package: $26,000+. Yes, my truck is completely paid for. And your vehicles on this post are?
And my winter recreational vehicle is a 2006 Polaris RMK 700 snowmachine with Fire-n-Ice air, SLP exhaust, soon to be installed SLP Powder Pro skis.
I'm really surprised that Google can't display any recipe from the 50, but I would enjoy spreading my recipe throughout the site if someone wants it. Just PM me.
