         Yield: 2 Servings   
       
         2 lb Beef; diced   
         1 tb Bacon dripping; hot   
         2 c  Boiling water   
         2 tb Rice   
         2 lg Dried red chilies; whole,   
              - but seeded   
         1 tb Flour   
       1/2 ts Salt   
         2 lg Onions; chopped   
       
     "Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders fed on this   
     particular chilli recipe which had been officially issued   
     by the U.S. War Department in 1896. Perhaps it was this   
     chilli which sent him and his band of brave men storming up   
     San Juan Hill with such vigor only a couple of years   
     later."   
        
     In a very large skillet, briefly fry (brown) the steak in   
     the bacon drippings.   
        
     Add 1 cup of hot water and the rice. Cover and allow to   
     simmer over very low heat until the rice is tender.   
        
     Put the chilies into a bowl and pour in the second cup of   
     boiling water over them and allow to stand until cool.   
     Then, hand-squeeze the chilies until the water is red. Add   
     the flour to the chili water and blend which should make   
     it thicken. Discard the chili hulls.   
        
     Add the chili water to the beef in the skillet and also   
     add the salt and onions.   
        
     Allow to simmer for about 10 more minutes (until onions   
     are tender) and serve.   
        
     Makes 2 servings

   ... It reeks of full blown eccentricity that screams for medication.
