As for the negative comments about Penn State, that simply shows ignorance and I consider it an unprovoked personal attack. The intention of my thread was completely positive and to be a minor diversion from the intense politics of this season. It wasn't meant to be a forum to insult 100’s of thousands of Penn State alumni.
It just goes to show that there are jerks everywhere, including on FR.
Since my mom is allergic to beef, I have to make chili with either bison or venison. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck thus far and Bambi is still scampering about the forest, so I stopped at Kroger and picked up a couple pounds of ground bison on my way home.
