 JW> Oka / was 50% off. I loaded up with four wedges. If they were

 DD> Wizard! I used to buy a lot of meat marked down at least 50% on
 DD> "last- day-of-sale".

My store discounts 50% on baked goods but only 30% on meat and don't
discount produce soon enough. I go almost daily just before lunch
time looking for office snacks and always stroll done the bread
aisle and the meat counter keeping an eye out for deals but never
stop at the produce dept's markdown area.

  Subj: Chili

 DS> Title: Jinney's Chili

 JW> According to my definition in the last post this does indeed qualify as
 JW> chili. My biggest criticism would be the tomato soup, not the beans.

 DD> Pintos or brown beans are much more acceptable.

In Canadian cuisine, Italian Borlotti beans are more common than
Pinto beans. They're pretty similar though. My favourite bean to go
with chili is those small red ones, Rojos Pequenos, when I can find
them.   

Occasionally I pull a Loo and make chili with lentils.

 JW> Canadians often add mushrooms to their mild, extra tomatoey chili

 DD> I'd have to pass on 'shrooms in my chilli.
 
It's not horrible. I do have serious objections to carrots, parsnips
and zucchini though. To my horror such recipes do exist. They are
probably designed for people who like to use Campbell's tomato soup
in their chili!

I don't have a recipe; I just make it.
     
  Subj: Good soy sauce

 JW> Lee Kum Kee LKK premium soy sauce

 DD> Never tried China Lily - now I won't bother. Thanx

It's the default soy sauce in bad, cheap Chinese restaurants. It's
made by breaking down vegetable proteins by acid hydrolysis rather
than slow natural fermentation.

I did a little internet sleuthing and discovered it's made in
Toronto by a Lee's Food Products Ltd. a privately owned company
with no website. I doubt if it's sold in the USA so you're safe.

Yellowknife will be getting it's first dollar store in about three
months. I've been working on the lease arrangements for about a year
now. The brand name is Dollarama. You may not be familiar with the
name but it's the largest chain of its kind in Canada with 1400
branches and the company is not only listed on the TSE it is a
component of the S&P/TSX 60 Index. It's a 10 year lease on 18,000 sf
so the commission is quite healthy.

 Categories: Bad Chili, Turkey, Vegetables
      Yield: 1 large batch
 
      1 lb Carrots
      1 lb Zucchini
      1 lb Onions
    1/4 c  Vegetable oil
      3 lb Ground turkey

  cup vegetable oil in a 6 quart pot.  Add vegetables. Cook over
  medium-high heat 15-20 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times until almost
  tender.
  
  Put 3 lbs. ground turkey and 1 tbsp. minced garlic in a 8 quart
  pot.  Cook, breaking up meat, until it is no longer pink. Stir in
  the vegetables, four 28 oz. cans crushed tomatoes in puree (drain
  some of the juice or it might be too watery), a 15 oz. can of
  tomato sauce and 2 tsp. salt.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat to
  medium-low. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes for flavors to develop.
  
  You will have about 22 cups of meat sauce.  You can use the sauce
  as is for spaghetti sauce or freeze some for future chili.
  
  With 7 cups of the meat sauce, add 2 X 19 oz. of canned kidney
  beans and 2 or more tablespoons chili powder.  Top with shredded
  cheese and onions.
