Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Trying to get caught up on some research. I know, I know. It sucks, but I'm not the only one here, and that's some consolation.
I really do not want to go out and switch my car to the other side of the street. Which I am sure wil involve shoveling. And I can't find my mittens!!!

Have you checked with the kittens?
So I now have chili. Other reminders of why I never cook:
1) slicing my finger open while chopping the onion
2) Onion juice seeping into the cut through the bandage while I was chopping the rest of it.
3) Small grease burn on my arm from leaping grease.
4) Dropping the spatula onto the floor not once but twice flinging grease and onion pieces everywhere
5) Misjudging the heat and charring some of the chili to the bottom of the pot.
6) The fact that even though I'm using my mother's recipe, it still tastes nowhere as good as when she makes it.

You might be looking at that as a cause, where others would see that as an effect.

I know. Practice makes perfect and all that. At the moment, though, it's a whole lot of aggravation for not a lot of payoff.
Burned chili tends to have an effect on the whole pot.
Plus? I bet your mom slow cooked it. Did you?
Practice makes perfect and all that.
Not to mention that the chances of her ever making it exactly as written are slim to none. Family recipes are like that.

I always forget that there are people who follow any recipe exactly. If you asked me, I'd say I use the Joy of Cooking banana bread recipe. And I do, except I usually don't add the lemon zest, or nuts, or fruit, and I always add cinnamon and vanilla. But I follow the recipe!
But I follow the recipe!
Recipes are like the Pirate Code. They're guidelines.
