    Chili con Chelsea? Gak. It might have been better to be a little less specific and instead call it chili con cerdo largo.

    By the way, how was it?

    “Chili Con Chelsea!” — PdH

    This sounds scary to me. Does it include ‘fish’? Shellfish might work, provided they’re still in the shell. True grit, a la Brit and all. What?

    I think I’ll stick to the strip steak with Canadian steak rub tonight.

    Regards,

    Chuck(le)

    P.S. Is Chelsea a form of shellfish? Or have you REALLY butchered the former president’s daughter? “con” meaning “with”. Or, perhaps there is some tart you were going to surprise this Texan with?

    Things not to do with a Texan:

    Play poker
    Take away his gun
    Try to impress him with your chili

    (Any Texan, even an African-American immigrant like Kim, knows that real chili doesn’t have any beans in it.)

    Tag darn it, I miss one measley blogger bash and it turns out to be the one you invited Kim du Toit to???

    Du Toit is larger than life. But doesn’t his name sound slightly obscene?

    “But doesn’t his name sound slightly obscene?”

    No, it’s pronounced ‘doo TOY’ (unless he’s Americanised it).

    Alas due a communication cock-up, Kim was not able to make it… but we had more than an adequate quorum for a major Blogger Bash and so we drank Kim and Connie’s health and partied on regardless.

    Re the pronunciation: That’s good to know. I always thought ‘doo twah’ looked suspiciously French.
