Day 2 of the quasi family reunion went great. We spent a lot of time reminiscing and laughing as the Old Man told stories about his dad and grandpa. For supper we had great fish from the legendary Mike Linning;s.
Day 3 went great, too. My Favorite Cousin and her Dear Husband arrived in the afternoon. I spent the morning making a big pot of chili, using my Grandma's recipe. I made a batch a month or two ago, and the Old Man and I finally agreed that something wasn't quite the same. It was good, but not the same as Grandma's. We figured out what it was - she used Mexene chili powder, while I had been using Bloemer's. I went to Kroger and they were out of the Mexene, so I did the next best thing: bought it on Amazon and it was here Sunday morning. I felt like a chef when everyone at the dinner table bragged about how good it was.
Stay tuned.
