Dear Sally,

What is the best way to get back at a cheating spouse?

Signed,

Heartbroken on Harriot Dr.


Sally Says: Dear Heartbroken, if I were to tell you that shellfish toxins are tasteless and odorless, would you promise not to use any in my recipe for Sally's Macho Nacho Tailgate Chilli? Men just can't resist it! Serve it to your hubby during Sunday football.

Sally's Macho Nacho Tailgate Chilli

Ingredients:

1       small can tomato paste
3       (15 oz.) cans tomato sauce
1       large can stewed tomatoes
1       green pepper (diced)
1       onion (diced)
3       jalepeno peppers (diced)
3       lb of beef short ribs
2 tsp   chilli powder(approximate)
chayenne pepper (to taste)
1 can   kidney or red beans


Instructions:

Brown beef. Remove. Saute peppers, and onion.  Stir in the rest
of the ingredients.  Add the beans last. Add beef shortribs.

Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to VERY low.  cook with the lid off an
Hour.  Then cook 1 hour with the lid on.  Cook on VERY low!

For a milder chilli take out the cheyenne pepper and the jalopenos. 

Its best with grated chedder cheese on top and corn bread on the side! I like a dollop of sour cream!

Well, that concludes another installment of Sally Says. I hope my solutions help not only the writers to whom they were addressed, but also anyone reading. After all, what's more comforting than a universal solution? In the acceptance of such a notion, we discover that we all share the same problems and that we are never alone.

On one final note, my editor asks that when writing in, please do not include perishable items along with your letters. Also, whoever keeps sending in those ziplock bags of "marinated lettuce," we ask that you stop.

Until next time,

Sally
