I've been doing baked goods sans recipe recently. It's actually worked pretty well, but I've been baking for a long time, so I may just have a good feel for it.
Chili: Sautee onions, add garlic, add beef and brown. Drain. Add a shitload of tomatoes, beans, V-8 is great if you need to make it more liquidy, other veggies if you want. Chili powder, any other spices that strike your fancy - cumin is good, cinnamon can be nice. Other things I've added with success - bulgar wheat (great in vegetarian chili), corn, especially the big white hominy corn, really anything you have around can work.
I am a pretty good baker and often improvise. (One time I was making cookies and realized I had no eggs, so I used mayo.) I just try to keep the wet dry ratio intact.
Thanks for the link, Raq.
I'm too tired this morning to be all analytical about things, but it was interesting.
The Lincoln Park Zoo's new project is teaching monkeys to use the internet. Can't wait to see where this ends up. Madness!

Soon there will be monkeys saying, "Wait a minute - we're supposed to have
pants
?"
So far they've determined that the monkeys get frustrated when pages take too long to load.
I think we should have a stated policy of holding the posting of other primates to the same standards as that of human posters.

What if they can't find a link anywhere to get back to the home page? That always frustrates me. Also, do the monkeys like lots of flashy blinky stuff, or do they head straight for the "skip intro" link after a quick @@? And what's their stance on search vs. index?
Man, if they'd done this a few years ago, it could've revolutionized the whole usability industry.

Yeah, except whenever a program or the OS wanted to give the user an alert, a big flashing banana would appear on the screen.
