What a lovely tribute and a sad and touching story. I may bust out the big pot Saturday night (when I will have a bottle of wine open.) Thank you for sharing this.

Veronica, go get the chili powder. This recipe uses 3 tablespoons, which is a lot. You only have to make about two batches to use up an entire small bottle. And — how could I have forgotten to mention this? — I have some great recipes for using up the leftovers. Just wait till you taste my mom’s famous Frito Casserole! :D

The recipe looks great. Unfortunately, i have no chili powder on hand. I always talk myself out of buying it at the grocery store, saying, “How often do I use chili powder?” Well, never, if you never buy any. Maybe this will finally inspire me enough.

Our mechanic has diabetes. He is blind now, and recently had toes amputated.

It is scary!

I should clarify, though, that Pat had Type 1 (“juvenile”) diabetes.

I have a friend who is pre-diabetic, with cholesterol through the roof, and it’s pretty scary. She eats well now but decades of bingeing on sweets (plus a family history of heart disease) have taken their toll. There should be warning labels on anything with sugar in it!
