1 1/2 cups Chocolate Wafer crumbs
6 tablespoons Sweet Butter
—–FILLING—–
12 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1/4 pound Sweet Butter — Cut Into Bits
2 tablespoons Kahlua Liqueur
1 pinch Salt
—–SAUCE—–
1/2 cup Whipping Cream
4 tablespoons Sugar
1/4 cup Butter
1 1/2 teaspoons Finely Ground Expresso — Coffee
Ingredients:
3 packages Ladyfingers
1/2 cup Dark rum
1 1/2 pounds Butter (no substitutes)
27 ounces Semisweet chocolate chips

Cut beef into 1 inch chunks or thereabouts. Let beef soak in a bowl with the
tomatoes and juice, lemon juice, mushrooms, black pepper, crushed chilis and
onions over night. Brown the meat in a skillet. In large pot throw in the
tomatoes and crushed chillis, onions, meat, paste, everything except the beans
and peppers and slow cook for three hours. Next chop your green and red peppers
into long slivers or if you prefer diced. Also stir in your beans and cook
slowly for one more hour. All cooking must not have the lid on. With the thick
“soupy” ring around the pot; stir back into the simmering chili.

You might like the chili hotter or maybe milder, depends on your taste. What
ever you do, don’t ruin the chili by making it hotter with hot sauces, this
has a tendency to make the chili into “superficial” body heat not a deep solid
heat. To accompany the chili try and get your hands on some “Agua Dente” (fire
water) 80% alcohol (national drink in Colombia).
I guarantee you will see God!

1 cn Black olives, drained
1 cn Chopped or minced clams,
-drained
1 pt Sour cream
Salt
Powdered garlic
Cayenne pepper

Open can of olives. Eat a handful, just to make sure. Eat a few more. As
long as you leave at least half the can, you’ve got enough. Chop them up.
Add the chopped olives to the rest of the ingredients, stir, and chill for
2 hours before serving.

Quantities on the spices are left to you.

Btw, if you have never tried cream cheese and chopped olive sandwiches, let
me recommend them. Soften a package of cream cheese, add small can chopped
olives and a teaspoon or so of lemon juice. Stir well and spread. Gutsy
eaters add turkey.

Yield: 6 jars

2 lb Large garlic heads
1/3 lb Fresh ginger; peeled and
Thinly sliced
1 c Coarse salt
7 Dried red chilies
2 c White wine vinegar
1 c Dry white wine
2 1/2 tb Mustard seed

Combine garlic in large saucepan with enough water to
cover. Place over medium high heat and bring to a
boil. Let boil for 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly. When
cool enough to handle, peel each clove without
crushing. Transfer to a non-metallic bowl. Add ginger
and salt with enough water to cover. Refrigerate
mixture for 2 days.

Drain garlic mixture and rinse thoroughly in cold
water. Drain again. Pack ginger and garlic evenly
into 7 clean hot half-pint jars to 1/2 inch from the
top. Add 1 chili to each jar. Combine vinegar, wine
and mustard seed in medium saucepan and bring to rapid
boil over high heat. Ladle enough hot brine to cover
garlic mixture.

Run a plastic knife or spatula between mixture and jar
to release any air bubbles. Clean rim and threads of
jar with damp cloth. Seal with new, scalded, very hot
lid. Repeat with remaining jars. Transfer jars to
gently simmering water bath (180-190 degrees) and
process for 10 minutes. Let cool on rack. Check for
seal. Store in cool dry place. Makes about 6 jars.
