Halloween Chili

Subject: Halloween Chili

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Halloween Chili
Categories: Halloween
Yield: 1 Servings

1 1/4 lb Ground goblin gizzards
-(ground beef 15% fat)
1 md Eye of Cyclops (onion)
1 15 Oz. Can soft shelled
-beetles (kidney beans)
1 28 Oz. Can blood of bat (V-8
-juice)
1/8 ts Pureed wasp (prepared
-mustard)
1/4 ts Common dried weed (oregano)
1 ds Redtailed hawk toenails
-(crushed red pepper)
2 ts Ground sumac blossom (chili
-powder)
1 ts Hemlock (honey or sugar)
1/2 c Fresh grubs (sliced celery)
1 tb Eye of Newt (pearled barley)
1 tb Dried maggots (uncooked
-rice)
Water from a stagnant pond
-(tap water)

Preparation : Substitutions are in parenthesis. Best made during the
last phase of the moon, if that is not possible, just do the best you
can in a softly lighted kitchen after dark. Brown the gizzards in an
iron cauldron over a fire made from the siding off of a haunted
house, add chopped eye of cyclops and simmer until the pieces of eye
become translucent again, add blood of bat, and soft shelled beetles,
bring to a slow bubbling boil. At this time, add the common weed,
maggots, toenails, sumac, grubs, hemlock, eye of newt and the pureed
wasp. As it cooks you may want to adjust the consistency with pond
water. You can tell it is done when the eye of newt swells and the
vertical tan colored 'cats eye' appears on one side. Posted to

That must have been something. I saw part of an interview with her
on TV just after she passed and it brought back memories of the show..

Funny what people tend to be remembered for. She made a lot of other
shows and movies but she would always be best known as Mary Ann..

Speaking of GIlligan's Island, I had the pleasure of meeting Dawn Wells (Mary

she supported our troops so much. Not a lot of folks know that about her. But
she was a very pleasant and funny lady to have a conversation with.

I'd agree with that. You could watch her evolve and change as time passed.

Yes, it did seem like she was locked into the personality of the
air-headed blonde constantly playing a role rather than being a 'person'..

I was going to say 'being herself' but I guess we couldn't know
from the show what the real her was actually like.
(The 'real her' on the show, not the actress in real life.)

I never thought Bailey was a ditz. I did think she was shy and unassertive, at
first, and that came across as ditzy. However, as the show went on she got more
confident. IMHO she proved herself to be very smart... certainly, like
Jennifer, smarter that most all of her male co-workers.

There was an episode in the IIRC last season called "The Consultant." Jennifer
acted incredibly air-headed and ditzy, while Bailey also acted air-headed but
more spaced-out. When the Consultant reported their behavior back to Mama
Carlson, she knew right away that it was a BS evaluation of the both of them...
she knew they were both smart and competent.

I agree regarding Mary Ann and Ginger although, there again, I sometimes got the
impression that maybe Ginger's ditziness was an act or maybe learned behavior.
IIRC, the actress who played Ginger didn't like that aspect of the character and
the fact that she was typecast after playing Ginger.
