8) Story: Sean and Annie made this for this first time when they were in college: that recipe produced so much chili it had to be transferred into three different pots. It’s based on Sue’s famous chili, one of Annie’s favorite family meals. Like Sue’s, the Edison-Albright chili is different every time. This version comes from September 29, 2007, made in anticipation of nephew Eli’s birth. It is very good with cornbread.
