I should probably stay out of the marital tiff, but I can never resist the opportunity to get new chili recipes.

Chorizo Chili Ingredients: 2 lbs Chorizo 2 lbs seasoned Pork Loin in 1 inch cubes 2 large white onions, diced 4 jalapenos, stemmed and seeded 2 serranos, stemmed and seeded 2 banana peppers, stemmed and seeded 6 cloves garlic 1 can chipotles in adobo sauce 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste 8 oz gold tequila (may substitute water) 2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock 2 quarts water 1 tbsp Salt and pepper to taste
1. Cube the pork loin, or whatever pork you have on hand. Once the pork is cubed, put it in a large Ziploc and season heavily with the rub. Put it in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours or overnight. 2. Brown the chorizo in a large skillet. Drain the chorizo and reserve. 3. While the chorizo is browning, combine all the fresh peppers, tomato paste, chipotles and adobo sauce, and garlic in a food processor and blend until smooth. (My wife likes her chili relatively lump free which is why I use the food processor. If you like your chili more chunky, dice all the peppers and garlic and add them when you add the onions.) 4. Brown the pork over high heat in a large pot. When the pork is browned, deglaze the pot with the tequila or water and add the onions. Turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking until almost all the liquid is gone and the onions are translucent. 5. At this point, add the chorizo, the pepper/tomato slurry, and the chicken or vegetable stock. Stir to combine with the ingredients already in the pot. 6. Once all the other ingredients are combined, add the water until the chili is slightly runnier than what you want for the final consistency and season with salt and pepper. 7. Cook over medium-low heat for 2-3 hours or until the chili is at your preferred consistency for consumption. 8. Serve hot in large bowls topped with grated sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled tortilla chips or refrigerate and serve cold as a dip.

Folk singers are always liberal pansies, but not me.....I sing for my fellow conservatives...care to hear "Shoot the Hippie out of the Redwood Tree" ?
Steak n Shake chili is one of my favorite things to eat in the world. My recipe originated as a copycat recipe that I found on the web somewhere. Not bad, but not even close. I modified it significantly from there until I had my own animal.
This is a simple, no frills chili with a mild spiciness. It's a bit on the sweet side. I prepare the whole thing in a wok. You could cook the meat in a skillet, then move it all to a crock pot if you wished.

I actually enjoyed this show more than RAW or Smackdown this past week. I think it would be really cool if Austin comes out tomorrow looking for revenge on the people that voted him and Debra off. However, I seriously doubt this will happen.
