10 degree Chili !

I never found a #13, seen a few at sales, one was cracked and went for $1500, we told the fellow who bought it to take it back to the auctioneer, he said that's ok, he liked it anyway. One said give us a call when the fried potatoes were ready . Same man had a sale with the same auctioneer,this time it went $1000, still to much

yeah thats steep..

if i would have saved all the $$ instead of the massive Caphlon collection, maybe i could afford one..


I always stop at the little farm yard sales.... ya never know whats lurking

Those are the ones where the little old lady has a #8 and want's $100 for it, she replies " but it's a griswold"

yes although the last 2 times i heard, " its a griswold, and its a wagner..." and i got them for 20 bucks!!

Little story behind the one that was at auction. The man who bought it was in his 80's, god rest his soul, be passed away 1/2 a year ago. Anyway, he had a daughter that has dimentia, something with she has several different personalities,and lived with her father all her life. It was said he started having sales after he needed money, he went to jail for hitting his daughter over the head with a fry pan, that big #13 would hurt some. DON'T know if it was true or not, just what people were saying.

wow! what a story.... maybe she had a harder head than the pan! or she was "cracked" more

A friend told me he saw Luthers daughter once, and in conversation, asked if she was Luthers daughter, she replied, " WHY THAT ROUGHTEN NO GOOD SON OF A B*TCH " I believe that ended the conversation . The mind can be a terrable thing when it goes bad. My wife talked to her at a flee market and said she's crazy.

sad... i had a female neighbor in Fla who was skitzo.. she had at least seven personalities i met over the course of 20 yrs....

was a nurse to boot !


p.s. saw one of those santa molds for 130!!! hmmmm

I'm gonna attempt to make this chili. I unfortunately do not have a cast iron kettle pot so I'm gonna do it in a crock pot. Wish me luck!!!

good luck! the crock pot will be fine for the simmering portion BUT....

You should get a regular pot, stainless, coated..whatever., quite hot first then "sear" the meat aka brown the meat first...

after browning on all sides by stirring as its searing add the onion so as to cook it some.... then transfer this mix into the crock pot and add the water and tomato sauce and other ingredients... dont forget the powered red pepper and hot red pepper and last the mesa flour to thicken it in the last 1/2 hour of cooking..

one of the box chili mix kits provides the spices quite well... just not enough HOT for me...

Do you make a slurry with your masa first or just dump the powder in?

slurry for sure....
