And if you knew more, it would only sicken you more. You should have been around for Blago's big sign shrines on 355, all funded by the taxpayers. As long as I've lived here, the Chicago Democrats have held this state hostage, which, unfortunately, is what seems to be happening at the federal level, as well.

RECIPE UPDATE
Since I entered that recipe we've changed it dramatically for the better by using real chicken broth (not canned). Don is simmering whole chicken(s) to make real broth. What a difference. Amazing. We've also made it bean-less with the real broth, and it's wonderful, but it's almost like a soup without the beans (which we don't mind). The real broth soaks into the ground turkey creating tasty flavor all the way through.

Don buys it at Super-Low Foods, which carries many ethnic foods. I
guess you'd call it a specialty store, but we call it a reasonably
priced produce store, because the produce is much less expensive than at
Jewel's. Ideally, if you really want to be super healthy, you'd make the
chili with organic beans, celery, sweet peppers and diced tomatoes, and
even organically fed, free-range turkey. We buy the ground turkey at
Sam's - Jennie-O 93/7 comes as two 2.5 lb packages for a total of 5 lbs.
Turkey contains "no added hormones or steroids." If you can't find the
ground Mexican spices, just use chili powder. Don has also tried
habanero peppers, sorrento peppers and jalapeno peppers chopped fine,
but the habanero, in particular, has a very distinctive overwhelming
taste, which overpowers the other flavors. Chili powder has a
combination of many different chiles along with garlic and other spices
and will be fine if you can't find the spices locally. Don searched out
many different chili recipes on the web, and most of the chili contest
winners contained the spices he uses, which is why he uses them. I've
made it plenty of times with chili powder, and it's still delicious.
Nicest thing about it is it's great for leftovers or snacks and keeps
very well in the frig, probably due to the capsaicin. You should google
capsaicin sometime - it and its fellow capsaicinoids are amazing
compounds. Love, Conk

Thanks for all your code help and thanks for your response below!
Today's Tribune tells of a Glenview man who was struck and killed
while riding his bike, so it's no joke for all motorists to keep their
eyes peeled for anybody not in a car. I love you, hon! Ma
