Re: Chili recipe

Being an old feminist, I truly object to the recipe's name. Mrs. Lyndon

had her own name and it was Ladybird. (Or at least that's how

she was popularly known). Not putting you down, , that's

probably the way it was printed in the original newspaper recipe. Maybe

in the south they still do things that way.

Just shows how things have changed!
