Recipe of the Week

Bob & Lynn Talbert's White Chili

      Mildred M. Angers of Traverse City sent along today's recipe for White Chili. She cut it out of Bob Talbert's column in the Detroit Free Press in 1992.
      A former Detroiter, Mildred and her husband moved to Traverse City in 1998 to be near her daughter and son, who are both in business here. She's 95 now, and her husband was 97 when he passed away recently.
      She noted, "He loved the chili also."
