In January of 2010, Gant asked Jacob Cloud to make a video about one of his chili recipes. I realized that because of a technical issue, the videos were removed from the post, and wanted to re-post them. The videos are entertaining and educational, but look how young and beardless ol’ Jacob looks.
Make some Texas Chili this weekend. To help with this, Jacob Cloud has sent in a video. This video has everything: history, training, Texas beer, mild hazing, and skillet corn bread! Yes!
Here is his recipe list:
2 lbs course ground beef
2.5 lbs tri-tip, trimmed and cubed
1 can peeled whole tomatoes
1 can Rotel
1-2 minced jalapenos (more or less depending on how spicy you want it)
4-5 crushed/minced garlic cloves
1/2-1 cup chopped white onion
1/4-1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Lime juice from 1 large lime
Thickener (corn starch, masa, flour, etc)
6 pack of Texan beer
Chili Mix (all measurements heaping!):
2-3 tbsp chili powder
1+ tbsp cumin
1 tsp ancho chili powder
1 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp Mexican oregano leaves
1-2 tsp black pepper (to taste)
1-2 tsp salt (to taste)
Ah, the video that introduced me to the glory of Rotel and ancho chili powder. I’ve made this at least 5 times since this was posted. Only variation is I wait until there is only an hour left to add the onions. This recipe can’t be beat.
Yo, Cloud, you forgot the beans, man.
Cloud looks like he has aids now compared to then. I think he benched more then too.
Nope, I bench quite a bit more now. Like dozens of kilos more. Thanks.
LIES
Looks legit. It’s cold and windy here today, I’m going to make a batch tonight, thanks for the inspiration.
More 70s Big style food posts please.
Any requests?
Whadya got?
BBQ brisket, pulled pork please. Mine come out with a very similar texture, and drier than I would like, even when potroast immersed in liquid.
More recipes….
Anything involving a slow cook/crock pot.
Made this last night, and I can certify it as LEGIT. Might tweak it a little bit for personal preference next time, add some more tomatoes, and cut the tri-tip a little bit smaller.
Adding in Shiner Bock, and drinking one while cooking it certainly helped.
I usually go 2 lbs coarse ground beef and 2 lbs (ground) Italian sausage.
And more like 7-8 tbs chili powdah.
And a stick of butter (assuming the meat is pre-cooked / quickly drained).
But hey, ANY chili without beans is good chili. I love food, love to cook and would enjoy more recipe / food posts.
Agreed. More recipes would be great. I just got a slow cooker and tried that spicy bourbon pork one Justin did a while back. It was pretty fantastic.
Here are three 70s-big-esque recipes I’ve used lately:

I just made this on Monday with some variations and it was outstanding. Definitely need to have the cornbread with it (I made “northern” corn bread using a different recipe but I am from the north and it was delicious).
Also, thought you guys might appreciate this. This show is awesome if you appreciate cooking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t0TtFrVA3k
If Justin were a cooking enthusiast instead of an exercise/health enthusiast he would be Alton Brown.
Looks fantastic. Need to try and find some of these ingredients at foreign food marts over here.
I totally want to try this recipe.
On another note, how does one get rid of exertion headaches? I’ve been moving around and Monday was the first time I’ve lifted in about a month. The base of my skull and directly behind my ears felt like I was getting a neck massage from satan. I’ve been having them through out the week then the same thing happened on Wednesday but it got so bad the pain radiated to my forehead. It hurt so bad.
Could be dehydration or too much caffeine?
you might be clenching your jaw/grinding your teeth – try a mouthguard for lifting and sleeping.
I asked the same question of Justin a few weeks ago here:
http://70sbig.com/blog/2012/10/05/
In addition to his suggestions, I found getting a targeted sports massage on those muscles to be extremely effective.
Also Kelly Starrett has some good stuff here:

I doubt it’s the teeth grinding issue, or he would have noticed (or his dentist would have).
My first thought is that this is a neck tension thing. If you are extending your neck back when doing any lift, then this is definitely it. The neck extension thing was even addressed in that MWOD vid I put up on Monday. So, I’d first assume there is some sort of issue with lifting since the area you indicate is where a lot of muscles attach (including the traps). You could immediately apply soft tissue work to your neck, traps, and t-spine and prob see relief.
Nutrition or hydration could be related, but the second most likely thing I’d assume, depending on the location of the pain, is a build up of pressure in the blood vessels. But I would assume this if the pain was on the rest of the head as opposed to the base of your skull.
But, as a cover my ass, I’d say go see a doctor if you don’t have relief from mobbing it.
I just tried to go run to get up to snuff for my PT test and my neck and base of skull started to flare up. It gave me a small headache even. It hurts when I bench, pushups, pullups, overhead press. It sucks. I think I’m dying.
