I Like Chili
Yes I eat chill on an average of at least once a week if not more no matter what time of the year it is.
I was raised that way and as a little boy I would go with my father to the auto body shop he owned.
We would stop at a little cafe called Jordan's next to it to eat breakfast.
He would let me order chili and sometimes he would cal my mom on the phone.
It was homemade right there on the spot by Mrs Jordan a kindly older lady.
To this day I eat chili for breakfast.
Many years later I saw the wrecking ball destroy that little place in 2002.
A bowl of hot chili and a cold bottle of Mountain Dew.
A part of me died that day.
Every time I eat chili I think of that time and a long gone Texas summer day.
