Hi Downen!

I'm definitely going to give an Arbonne basket for the silent auction. My mother and I will also do a give-away of some kind from our new coffee business.

I also talked with Luscombe Farm Specialty Foods, and Leslie is going to donate a gift basket of her jalapeno jellies! I told Jennifer D that y'all ought to ask Tony (now at Warrior Tire) to donate some of his vodka pasta sauce. He is still making it for sale to those of us who fell in love with it at Tony's Deli.

I like to stick my finger in Chili then pop it in my mouth to see how spicy it is.

Dude, gross.

When I was in STL once, I saw people put peanut butter in chili.

Yes, some folks put it in as a "Secret Ingredient" probably to help thicken it --- but this needs to be disclosed now due to the prevalence of peanut allergies. It is also used in some enchilada sauces.
As a parent of a peanut allergic child, I've had to learn to ask about this very thing everywhere we go. We simply do not go to restaurants where nuts are regularly used in cooking like Thai and Indian cuisine. It is scary, though, when the risk is not so clear -- like in chili. Thanks for the reminder!
