I have a 32° fridge that will keep milk for a month past the sell by date and seems to keep meat at least as well.
The chilis: every two or three years I buy one package each of all of the dried chilis at one of the local supermarkets usually about six kinds. I stem and seed them and oven dry them until they are as brittle as potato chips then I mill them in a food processor and sift them in a large basket strainer. The coarse pieces go back into the mill for more chopping. Then in small batches I finish milling in a coffee mill. I think a blender would also serve and allow larger batches. When they are finished they will sift through a tea strainer. This process makes about a quart and I give about hal of it to freinds.
The short answer is that the chilis are a private blend formulated by an old yankee cook and craftsman who will never tell me his secret.

welllllll. There wouldn't be any buckshot from the charge up San Juan Hill. But if you just estimate that which is rotted out in the core and count the rest there are still a few that can be identified. You might find the ring when Truman gave his inaugural speech. Some of them are pretty closely spaced because of drought conditions and some are rather wide showing the good years. The last few years would show quite uniform growth patterns.

Today I cooked the chicken.
I took the meat from the bucket into an enameled roaster and added a large onion cut into quarters three carrots and three ribs of celery and two pints of stock. Placed the whole thing in a 270 degree oven until the carrots were fork tender.
I highly recommend trying this. It is superb. I had not tried this before but couldn't find any reason not to try.

I just had to follow this up with a comment about the stock saved from the finished chicken. The flavor is superb and the texture when cold is that of headcheese. I gave a pint to a friend to use for aspic which is just a high falutin name for savory gelatin. he plans to fill it with cooked meat and veggies.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
