   It turned out pretty good. I cooked up some whole wheat spiral pasta to   
   put under it. And, it turns out, we kept our power on and water running   
   thru the pipes even tho we had rain, freezing rain, snow and sleet.   
   Primary roads are clear but it'll be a while before all secondary roads   
   are.   
      
      
    MP> Also, I am curious what makes it "mock"... sounds like a chili to me!   
    MP> ;)   
      
   My usual chili takes a lot more time/fuss. I'll put in an assortment of   
   peppers, meat will be usually be beef but used a combo of beef, goat and   
   elk in a prize winning chili. I'll also use onions, tomatoes (diced and   
   paste), then cook it long and low, letting it really combine flavors.   
   That's my competition style chili; I also make a family friendly one   
   with ground beef, bell pepper, onion, beans, tomato, corn and various   
   powdered peppers. It's milder, more for those that don't like it hot   
   (but it has also won a couple of cook offs). UDD introduced me to the   
   first version of chili; the second (family friendly) is a take off on   
   what Steve and I grew up with.
