Also, here is a fascinating story called "The Chili Queens of San Antonio," from NPR's series "Hidden Kitchens." The story describes the "plazas of San Antonio and the women who fed and tended their families and communities for generations... The makeshift tables, the fires and pots of chili, the coffee and tamales, the lanterns, and the crowds of San Antonians of every stripe -- businessmen, soldiers, cowboys, families, Anglos, Tejanos and the singers and troubadours who filled the night with music."

Those chilis look absolutely delish, and hurrah for white rice with them!
My dinner tonight: chili from Zippy's, a Hawaii chain restaurant that could be the local equivalent of Denny's. The chili is its signature dish and contains a secret ingredient - some speculate it to be peanut butter, others say it's mayo.
