Instructions

* For true CHERNOBYL-Class 20 megaton SS-19 chili, double the pepper, chili powder and MSG and add 30 minutes to the cooking. Serve with Pepski. * People who are worried about MSG, bacon grease or radiation should not be eating chili in the first place. * Yes, it will make an incredible mess in your microwave oven. * The most likely things you will need to add at the testing points are salt, sugar, and maybe garlic powder. * The chili will thicken up in the microwave so be sure to add enough water to keep it soupy until the last phase. : Difficulty: easy. : Time: 10 minutes preparation, 2-3 hours in microwave. : Precision: approximate measurement OK. : Jim Houser (JABBA) : Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA : ins_ajbh@jhunix.bitnet : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
