    Hi Dave,

    chilli spive. It is no longer
    what it was. Fortunately I bought 10# of the original spice mix and
    put it in vacuum sealed portions in my freezer. AS I am 83 that supply will outlast me. Bv)=

    Do you have a distribution system set up for after you are gone and
    does the one distributing it know who gets how much? Better think about that or it may end up being discarded.

    Not as such. When I snuff it the house and contents go to Habitat for Humanity - with lifetime tenancy for Dennis (houstemate). It's only
    fair that the contents go to habitat. I furnished the place with "treasures" from there. I'll say omething to my brother about cleaning
    out the ice
    box and freezers as his wife is a cracker-jack cook while Dennis is as unadventurous as you have indicated your father was.


    We've bought a fair amount from ReStore as well. We've also donated a
    good bit to them over the years. I'm currently thinning my bookshelves
    somewhat and will take the culls over there.

    Sounds like you've made a good decision as to taking care of the
    contents of the freezers and fridge. We should probably make some sort
    of the same decisions about our stores of spices and suchlike, then
    leave a note for our daughters to that effect.

    Chilli Man chilli is still one of the best chilli-in-a-can brands
    even DD> if not as good as it used to was. And Ray's Chilli is a close
    second.

    The current owner of Ray's, Jay Nicole, gifted me with a 1# bag of
    Ray's Chilli spice. Ray DeFrates was Joe's uncle. The Ray's spice is decent, better than Mexene or McCormicks.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHWHcZcllLU is worth watching. Keep in
    my the Two Bald Guys are eating/tasting the chilli straight from the
    can and cold.

    I might have to look that up, just for some laughs. (G)

    Just click on link and prepare to be amused.

    OK, thanks.
