>>That is an awesome tip oh wise one. <<

Thanks. Chili isn't a specialty of mine, but I know how it works, and I make a venison spaghetti sauce that is much like chili (cooked long so it reduces to a meat sauce with crumbles).

>>I am looking at ways to feed the masses when they come.<<

The latest cookbook I got from Chelsea Green, Gaia's Kitchen, has two ingredient lists for each recipe: one for small groups (anywhere from 4-8 servings) and one for larger groups (anywhere from 30-50). Very handy.

>> Chili sounds like a great idea. I am thinking of jazzing it up this year with onion and peppers cut and fried with the meat.<<

That's a good method. Another is to combine onion, peppers, and celery in a skillet with a bit of ghee or butter and saute them until they start to soften. You can add spices too if you wish.
