Dale,

                                      Thanks for the chili  recipe. In relation to beans in chili I have never been a fan of this combination.

                                       Unfortunetly I have not yet found an english to portuguese dictionary specialized in cooking and recipe terms. I am betting there is one out there and that I will find it with time.

                                       I put off some weight during the summer and have been avoiding beer. Just when I thought a scapegoat for me chugging down a few cold ones would never appear you came along. Thanks for that as well.

                                       By the way I will not be adding any form of roadkill to my chili. I know you are a fan but I must draw some limits
