Most supermarkets now sell rocket, a slightly milder cultivated variety.

If you can't find it, use spinach or a mixture of lamb's lettuce and watercress.

Slippery Sam's Cowboy Chili

This chili supprised me. I lived in south Texas for 30 years and thought I had learned from the best. Slippery Sam turned out really good. I did doctor it up a tad, w/ twice the peppers and more garlic. It will be even better the second warming.
