The tómbola tickets were only $1.00 each for the chance to win a large basket of groceries or a basket of cleaning supplies. We didn't hang around for the tómbola but since I haven't been contacted I'm pretty sure I didn't win. Here are photos.

Later that afternoon the Lovely Mona and I were in Gamboa. She took these photos of hormigas (leaf-cutter ants, in this case) and uno ñeque (which is called agouti in English).

so, spill the chili recipe! I'm gonna be making a pot of it tonight. I make most excellent chili, but I'm always on the lookout for something new.

What Pat said... well, I'm not making any tonight, but still!
Here is my chili recipe. It tends to change while I'm cooking, but this is the basic method.
Padre Mickey's Killah Chili con Carne
Ingredients:
3 cloves garlic, diced
1 large onion cut
4 small tomatos, sliced
1 lb. ground beef
1.5 lbs pork shoulder or pork butt, cubed
3 or 4 Louisiana hot links, sliced
8 oz. can tomato sauce
10 to 15 dry chilis, soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes
1 pkg McCormick's Chili seasoning, hot
1 tsp cumin powder optional
1 tsp cayenne pepper or chili powder optional
2 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Preparation:
Heat oil in large pot until fragrant. Add garlic and onion and sautè until onions are translucent. Add tomato slices and sautè until tomato is cooked down. Toss in about 1 tsp cumin powder and 1 tsp either cayenne pepper or chili powder. Strain chilis and add to pot. Brown pork and add to pot. Brown ground beef (squirt in some Sriracha chili sauce) and add to pot. Add McCormick's chili seasoning to meat and mix well. Add tomato sauce and bring to low boil. Add hot links and cook everything on low heat for about 30 minutes. Take off burner and let sit for 15 minutes.
Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese. Serve with hot white corn tortillas.
OK we go from a tapir to a tabby... ¿qué pasa?
That's Calpurrnia, Caminante. She lives in Gamboa.
