…drool is not cool…
…especially chili drool…
…nowadays…
…it is all travel centers this…
…and travel centers that…
…kicka$$ brisket sandwiches…
… kettle drum ghost pepper popcorn…
… a thousand flavors of pecans…
…and mainstream franchised fast food kiosks
…but back in the day…
…it was truck stop diners or truck stop restaurants…
…every where we’d stop…
…I’d order the same thing…
…a bowl of chili and some onion rings…
…the variety of chili was endless…
…as we’re the different styles of onion rings…
…I ended up making the chili into a sort of paste…
…with endless amounts of crushed up saltines…
…that style of chili enjoyment ended soon enough after I got married…
…joyfully I transformed my wife’s chili into chili paste…
…my anticipation like drooling onto a pillow…
…when my bride angerly threw down her napkin…
..and sneered…
…"I worked all day on that chili…
…and you didn’t even have the decency and politeness to taste it first…
…before ruining it"…
…believe me…
…there was no shared chili breath that night…
…(p.s. she thought it was ruined…
…but adding Frank’s Hotsause saved it like it was a tent revival at the fairgrounds)….
