Slowly we round the corner to the dairy section.A list would be in order,but that will have to be next time.Mom asked, what do we need? I promptly replied,lots of cheese and thousand island dressing to dip my chicken strips in.I'm a kid so I like to think ahead.Mom said,lets get home and start the chili!Yes,I  thought,it will be a nice night at home and I'll even share our recipe.     Easy Chili    1/2 cup chopped onion,   1 tbsp.butter, 2 lb. ground beef, 2/3 cup catsup, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup chopped celery, 2 tbsp. lemon juice ,1 tbsp. brown sugar,1 1/2 tsp.
