That old saw was around long before Willie was even a gleam in his dad's
eye. I first heard a friend of my grandfather say it in the late 1940s.

Heck, I've used it myself. Usually accompanied by a wish for a time
machine so I could go back to when I was seven years old and beat the 
snot out of my younger self for ever picking up the first cigarette.

This is alleged to be Willie Nelson's chilr verde. I dunno, it's a nice
chilli. But, I think Willie prefers rad chilli. I knkow when he played
my state fair several years ago my recently deceased friend Les and I 
were tasked with making a pot of red and serving it to Willie in his
motor home before the show. He's a neat guy and spent more time chatting
with Les and I than with the governor - who was also there.  Bv)=

           Chopped green onion
           Chopped cilantro
           Chopped tomato

  Rinse and pick over the beans to remove stones and
  debris. Put in a medium sauce pan and boil hard for at
  least five minutes to start the starch conversion.

  Put the chicken base, broth, and beans in a large pot
  or crock-pot.
    
  Simmer for two hours, covered.

  Saute the onions in the oil until they are translucent
  and beginning to brown.

  Combine the onions with the spices, chicken, and other
  vegetables, and simmer for another hour or so.

  Add the cheese and sour cream, cooking until the cheese
  melts into the chilli.

  Serve in bowls with desired toppers.

  The recipe serves about four people

  UDD NOTES: This is AKA chile verde. You can leave out
  the beans and increase the meat. You can also make this
  with pork. But don't serve it to the Rabbi.
