When my wife was alive, I used to cook chili.

Chuck’s Headley Hill Chili

1 pound ground chuck, 1 pound Old Folk’s smoked sausage

Beans—of course

Tomatoes—of course

Onions—of course

Chili powder but NO cumin—other spices when the whim hits

Cornmeal for thickening

Bourbon—just a dab, this is Kentucky

Spaghetti—no, though this makes me a Louisville outcast

Of course, serve with cornbread
