Dee and I enjoyed a cruise in November. Linsey celebrates her 20th birthday on Dec. 20. Alissa finishes another semester at WV Tech soon, and she's doing a great job at co-managing Carpenter 5&10. Guy is playing basketball and taking driver's education. But enough about us ... let's talk chili!

'TIS THE SEASON TO HUNT CHILI

If you can't find our hot dog chili at your  store, stock often runs lower this time of year because stores don't consider winter to be hot dog season! Ask the staff for help.

Custard Stand Chili Soup Heads To Stores!
Bowl of Custard Stand Chili Soup With BeefBeef and bean chili is available (crackers not included)


The Chili CrewThe Custard Stand Food Products crew has worked hard to get our newest product out in time for bowl chili season! Custard Stand Chili Soup With Beef And Beans is for everyone who kept begging us for a bowl chili.

Why call it "chili soup"? The FDA requires a specific beef to bean ratio for chili. We like our ratio and didn't want to tinker with a good recipe.

Get it at The Custard Stand restaurants in Webster Springs and Flatwoods or L-Cafe, inside Carpenter 5&10, in Webster Springs. Watch Facebook and our web site for stores and distributors carrying Custard Stand Chili Soup.

 
Sampling at Southern Christmas Show
2,500 Sample Chili At Southern Christmas Show


Angie, Nickie and Alissa served up more than 75 pounds of chili in mid-November during two-day trip to the Southern Christmas Show in Charlotte, NC. That's why Angie (right) is a little blurry in the photo. As part of the West Virginia Country Store exhibit, Team Custard Stand sold out of all the chili they had on hand and handed out thousands of Product Request Cards. If you got a card during the show, please send it to your local grocery store. Click here to order online or for the store and distributor list.

Q&A

I'm a single guy and on a budget.

Any tips on how to get the most chili for my dollar?

Great question. Here are a few options for you, Mr. Single
(these work for families, too!): Thaw a 1lb container and put in ice cube trays to refreeze (one cube = one hot dog). Or thaw a 3- or 5-pounder and re-portion it into 1 lb plastic freezer bags.

Remember: You can always re-freeze thawed chili as long as it hasn't been heated on the stove or the microwave.

STOP BY CARPENTER 5&10!

As many of you know, we bought Carpenter 5&10 on Main Street in Webster Springs this fall. We've been having a blast as a family and working with my best childhood pal, Evon Snyder, to whip it into shape.

Our inventory continues to expand! You'll find
RUKO Knives (lifetime guarantee), Radio Flyer toys, antiques and more. 

L-Cafe
now offers bran muffins along with biscotti and serves up to 35 flavors of coffee, tea and cocoa.
