“Dimarra” (from the now defunct Locost Yahoo Group) used to save all my old tag lines. He shared them recently on the Grassroots Motorsports forum. I am deeply DEEPLY honoured. These go back to about 2004-2008, and include the build, inspection, driving, and modifications to the Lethal Locost. This is also around the time of the birth of my kids.

MrW’s Chili Recipe

by admin, posted in Uncategorized


Right side: “Optimism.”  Left side: “Regret.”

Adapted from Carroll Shelby’s recipe.

2.6Kg lean ground beef (2 family packs), fat strained off
3 large can Tomato sauce
3 cans “cool-sounding-name” Beer
1-1/2 cup crushed Chilies, hot
4 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 Onions, small, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Oregano
1-1/2 teaspoon Paprika
2 tablespoons Cumin, ground
1 teaspoon Salt
5 tablespoons Cayenne pepper
900g Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Brown the meat evenly. Strain off the fat.

Add the tomato sauce, beer, crushed chilies, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, 1 tablespoon of the cumin, and the salt. Stir to blend. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally.

Taste and adjust seasonings, adding the cayenne pepper. Simmer, uncovered, 1 hour longer.

Stir in the cheese and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of the cumin. Simmer 1/2 hour longer, stirring often to keep the cheese from burning.

I usually pick a cool sounding beer name, and name the chili that, “on fire.” This year is “Trash Panda on Fire.”
