Man turns on TV, blows up apartment:
When Anthony Howell clicked his TV remote control to watch his favorite quiz show, he had no idea his life would be in jeopardy.
But with the push of the button, his Bronx apartment building exploded into flames, blowing out all the windows and setting his hands, head and neck on fire.
Howell, 58, says his apartment was filled with natural gas as a result of construction work in the apartment below his on East 223rd Street when the 2003 blast occurred, according to a lawsuit he filed recently in Bronx Supreme Court against his landlord, the construction firm and Con Edison.
Whoa, the TV blowing up may have been a lucky thing - if he hadn't noticed the gas he might have asphyxiated.

Is that supposed to be a joke? Also, who uses the term "quiz show" anymore?
To add thickness, I puree some of the beans and will add in corn starch if needed
In white chilis, I like to dice up potatoes and boil them with the chili. They can be pureed, also, along with the beans.
I use potatoes too (or hominy) but I'll grant you a pass for the protein...
It's quite the month for crustacean news.

I'll take "Silver Linings Actually Made of Tinfoil" for $200, Alex.

Man explodes, saving his life.
I could have used potatoes, just didn't think of it. I'm not a hominy fan and don't keep it in the house.
Huh. Just yesterday I said "Do you smell that?" And upon discovering a burner had been turned on but unlit, we had to open up the doors and windows for a couple hours.
Good thing we didn't turn on the TV.
