It's chili.So is chili a chunky soup, or is it a stew?
I need to pray and meditate on this.

Around here we call the aftermath`s effect : " The Goose bump Dump" !And when you get an upset stomach from too much chili, it's the Red Hot Chili Poopers.

Along with the other questionable & casting doubtful expressions : To be honest with with you, as a lead in to some statement/answer, & in my honest opinion !
Well then I guess one might not be sure at any other time without that qualifying preamble, that the real truth might not be forth coming !

Speak for your self, Sir. I prefer to live by Spock`s Mantra !FWIW we all lie. It's part of being human.
Really.... Not even "White Lies", even when being totally truthful might hurt or upset some one, when pressed !
A lie, or untruth is a deception, no matter the level of severity, in my simple logic driven pathetic life`s opinion !
If I chose not to provide the complete story, if questioned for more complete information, I will reveal the whole complete answer as I know it, if for some reason I was initially reserved in my answer.
Let me qualify my mindset : I had my share of growing up transgressions, nothing serious !
But in late Nov.1981 while laying in a hospital becoming slowly left side paralyzed waiting on the brain operation to remove a abscess between my skull and brain the initial size of a pea, but growing to the size of a walnut thus cutting off the oxygen to that portion of my brain and totally killing the left side functionality, I had tons of time to reflect on this bazaar life altering course of events, that was not able to be explained how it came about, and since I never forgot that I was always at risk of death or a unforeseen situation in the back of my mind that could mess up my body by some kind of accident from bicycle, motorcycle riding, electrocution from working on live HV electronics, car wreck, scuba diving, or simply being at the wrong place at the wrong time and inadvertently getting shot !
All real risks while living in South Miami FL.
So having all this reflective time in the hospital from Nov. 19 1981 until April 1st 1982 while transitioning from 26 to 27 yrs. old to examine my previously unaltered and happy/successful professional prior life to this situation, and considering that I couldn`t/wouldn`t likely survive another dose of bad Karma, so I made a pack with myself, that I would never knowingly lie, cheat or steal ever, no matter what the cost to myself or even to others involved feelings !
My father taught/raised/instilled in my 2 sisters and myself, that if you lie, you will cheat and steal, do one and you will do the others and try to justify the act(s).
As the lyrics of that seventies song go : Don`t ask me what I think of you, I might not give you the answer you want me to !
But hey, that`s my story & reason, plus I`m cursed with a active conscience, and I really like to sleep soundly at night !
So I assure you, nailer, Sir. not every human lies, yes even "White Lies" !

That is the absolute truth. It really is. Your father knew, a wise man in my opinion, you are blessed. Yes, if one lies they will cheat and steal, equal sides of the same coin with the defense that everyone does it so act first. 'Human nature', you know.

Well thank you for that kind compliment, Sir., about my father`s strong unwavering mindset (RIP Dad) !
I was truly blessed with him mostly raising me, and instilling thereof with his strong moral ethics !
Back in my youth when I consumed supermarket ice-cream regularly Sealtest was the best and Breyer's was the worst. Sealtest was smooth and creamy and Breyer's was always watery and icey. We've recently purchased some Breyer's on two occasions and it's totally different now. Very smooth and creamy like Sealtest used to be. When did that happen?

My experience with Breyers brand ice cream has been excellent for as long as I can remember, at least for close to forty yrs.Back in my youth when I consumed supermarket ice-cream regularly Sealtest was the best and Breyer's was the worst. Sealtest was smooth and creamy and Breyer's was always watery and icey. We've recently purchased some Breyer's on two occasions and it's totally different now. Very smooth and creamy like Sealtest used to be. When did that happen?
And currently, on the infrequent occasions that it is purchased & of course consumed, being their All Natural Vanilla flavor is my preferred choice, and has perfect richness and flavor like I would expect home made ice cream to be like.
And according to its ingredients, is very clean with no added chemical "enhancers crap".
I grew up as a child with Sealtest, or store brand ice cream (probably Sherbet type when I was home sick), but it`s been so long ago being currently 70 yrs. old, I can`t remember anything about its quality from back then at 60 + yrs. ago, to compare to !
I tried Blue Bell ice cream some decade back that a friend brought over a small container for my birthday, and while eating it I decided that it had a somewhat chemically enhanced texture and flavor to it, so I started reading the ingredients, and there were hard to pronounce artificial ingredients labeled, so I finished it, and refused to ever eat any more of that brand since !
I think Haagen Dazs is very good/clean, but very pricy!
Turkey hill ice cream is good and cheaper than Byers !Back in my youth when I consumed supermarket ice-cream regularly Sealtest was the best and Breyer's was the worst. Sealtest was smooth and creamy and Breyer's was always watery and icey. We've recently purchased some Breyer's on two occasions and it's totally different now. Very smooth and creamy like Sealtest used to be. When did that happen?
My wife did mention that.
I agree, I've had that.
I recently had some "spumoni" ice-cream from the famed L&B Spumoni Gardens. That was out of this world good!

Though I can`t say that I`ve ever tried, or even heard of Turkey Hill brand ice cream before, and at least around here, one or both of the local grocery store chains frequently offer all flavors & sizes of Bryers ice cream BOGO priced, so that does provide for economically incentive based purchases for good quality ice cream.
I have to reject those BOGO offering purchases, because I don`t have the room in my freezer for both larger containers, and I certainly don`t need to be encouraged to ingest all the extra calories !
We like BlueBell ice cream (not the cheap Blue Bunny)

I hope they cleaned it up for your heath, since I read the ingredients list from over 10 yrs. ago !
My friend and my Blue Bell ice cream flavor`s additional added difficult to pronounce questionable ingredients would have made Dow Chemical proud !
To each their own.
Turkey Hill is pretty good. hammered this the other night.
The local supermarket brand is very good and cheaply priced. Hammered this one last week.
Bowls? I don't need no stinkin'bowls.

And both artificially flavored, I noticed, Terrence, Sir. !
What other questionable oddball chemical modifying ingredients are lurking about inside them, if you even might wish to know, or ultimately even care ! HA !
Thanks for the heads up, the wife and I just looked at what is in Bluebell and we both said WTF ! We're not buying that brand anymore. We did find that the other readily available ice cream in our area, Tillamook is much better and so that is what we'll buy from now on.
"Tillamook ice cream uses natural flavors and avoids artificial ingredients, sweeteners, synthetic colors, high-fructose corn syrup, bioengineered ingredients, and artificial preservatives, making it a high-quality and natural choice. The company states they are committed to making dairy products in the most natural way possible."
