This is another combination from The Whitny List, albeit minutely modified.  In its original form, the prescription was chili + moonshine + “Renegade” by Styx.  The only Styx album in my collection is their Greatest Hits (CD | MP3) compilation, which contains “Renegade” and a bunch of familiar-sounding tracks (hence the Greatest Hits label).

Food:

True to the prescription, I had chili.  I opened two cans of chili:  One was a really “hot” con carne with beans; the other was of the vegetarian variety with beans.  I warmed the chili over the stove, adding some chopped beef bacon and meatballs to the mix.  Garnished with some shredded four-cheese “Mexican” blend, it was delightful.

Booze:

I didn’t have moonshine on hand, so I went with ol’ reliable Gentleman Jack, my go-to North American whiskey.  I had a couple of shots’ worth, but I didn’t shoot ‘em.  (If you want to hear some borderline binge-drinkin’, try the Skynyrd and Lennon/Dimebag podcasts.)

Anyhow, since I mentioned moonshine, let’s talk about making your own booze.  Well, distilling homemade liquor might not be safe, but home-brewed beer could be good.  Mr. Beer sells home-brewing kits:  “America’s most popular brewing kit.  Complete, easy-to-use.  Only $39.95.”

Okay, back to our regularly-scheduled program –

Tunes:

Long story short — this episode gave me gas.  I blame Dennis DeYoung’s synthesizer.  (Okay, the chili might have played a minor role.)

Incidentally, using “Renegade” is one of the best ways to end a TV episode:
