Chili Recipes

A couple of weeks ago, I searched high and low for these recipes.  I knew they were hand written on lined paper and the last time I had seen them they were tucked between two cookbooks in the kitchen.  I found them tonight, typed them and saved them in a recipe folder on my computer.  Maybe next time I get the urge to use one I'll be able to find it!
