Since they don’t put beans in their chili, and serve it on top of spaghetti, I’m not sure why it isn’t just a spicy spaghetti sauce?

pretty sure Tejanos don’t put beans in their chili either, so the lack of beans isn’t dispositive and i don’t know of any spaghetti sauce that contains chili pepper. Hence, it’s chili and not spag sauce.

To devote himself full time to nightclub stabbings, no doubt.

And what’s with the Rose Bowl calling themselves the “Rose Bowl Game”? Did someone not know it was a game?

I was rooting for a Bengals-Ravens instant rematch. That would have been fun.

I don’t cook beans in my chili-I cook them seperately and let everyone add as much as they want. But that menu stuff sounds like spicy spaghetti sauce to me-in my youth, I had a boyfriend from Houston who was mostly coonass, and he used to put bell peppers and gumbo file in his “chili”, no beans anywhere-he called it “Creole chili”, but I called it Creole spaghetti sauce...

I’ve never heard of “gumbo file.” Never eaten gumbo either.

Slugs-yech-every early Spring, they are out looking to eat all my newly sprouted baby salad greens, and I put beer in jar lids to trap them. Husky girl has tried to eat one a couple of times, but always spat it out the minute it touched her tongue.

(gumbo) file is just ground sassafras tree leaves-sassafras is a fairly common native tree in the southern US. I had to take my jar of it out of the cabinet to smell how delicious it is-it has a sort of chewing gum smell...

We have patio furniture on our patio and a picnic table out in the yard, in the north forty for about 15 years. It’s about 25 years old made for us by a friend. Heavy duty. I thought we should get rid of it as it was disgusting, but we power washed it and it’s under the tree in the side yard outside my kitchen window. It’s handy with a pool...wet swimsuits and all...we can eat lunch at it on occasion. Looks brand new again. Sadly, the squirrels usually use it, not us.

- - How Many Dogs Does it Take to Change Light Bulb?

1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I’ll replace any wiring that’s not up to code.

3. Dachshund: You know I can’t reach that stupid lamp!

4. Rottweiler: Make me.

5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I?
Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

7. German Shepherd: I’ll change it as soon as I’ve led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven’t missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

8. Jack Russell Terrier: I’ll just pop it in while I’m bouncing off the walls and furniture.

9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I’m sorry, but I don’t see a light bulb!

10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

12. Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there.....

13. Greyhound: It isn’t moving. Who cares?

14. Australian Shepherd: First, I’ll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

15. Poodle: I’ll just blow in the Border Collie’s ear and he’ll do it.
By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

The Cat’s Answer: “Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is: How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?”

ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF.
