Spike ,'Smile Time'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Right, and because we should be listening to the BRITISH about chili? I don't think so!
You really should, because I make really really GOOD chili. According to both British and American consumers.
pouts. sadly.
Go pantless! Choose pantless!

And, I never really looked at the URL until I copied it, and now I'm laughing so loud, I'll probably wake the baby.

BWAH! Perfect! Oh, absolutely pricelessly perfect!
Timelies.
I somehow ended up not sleeping tonight. Last night. Whatever night. But it's nearly 5:30, and thus far, no sleep.
I need to do laundry today. And possibly nap.
Just got back from seeing 1776.
Oooooh.
Am feeling exceedingly tired and rather patriotic.
Hee.

Bloody brilliant!
Caught up just in time to leave for class. See you Bitches on the other side!
he's in "Fishing the Yellow River."
TELL me that isn't scatological.
Or possibly a kung fu move.
Heh. He's at WAR COLLEGE? Is it a Diplomacy-in-time-of sort of war college?
Every room also has a Bible, and the Army isn't satisfied with just providing a Bible - it was on the dresser, open to Proverbs. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure what in Proverbs applies to learning how to conduct war, but okay.
When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7
Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city. Proverbs 16:32
Make plans by seeking advice; if you wage war, obtain guidance. Proverbs 20:18
The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD. Proverbs 21:31
A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength; for waging war you need guidance, and for victory many advisers. Proverbs 24:5, 6
I wonder what chapter it was opened up to.
Hee! I knew you'd come through with appropriate quotes. I'll ask him if any were underlined, or which chapter specifically was open.
He changed rooms with someone and is now in "Hershey Amusements," which frankly isn't any less scatological.
It's the US Army War College. It's a Masters program, usually only for colonels and lt. colonels as preparation for becoming generals, but two years ago they opened it up to 4 State officers of equivalent rank (DH is a Lt. Colonel). Not sure what the Army's goal is, but DH's goal is to simultaneously get a Master's degree to prepare for his second career when he retires in 6 years, and to represent the Diplomacy Option to our uniformed brothers, promoting the idea that there are strategic options other than bombing the crap out of people.
The first goal seems to be going better than the second goal. Actually, the professors are on board, but the other students have no use for anyone non-miltary.
It actually sounds fascinating, if only we lived in a time where war was just a theoretical area of study.
The first goal seems to be going better than the second goal. Actually, the professors are on board, but the other students have no use for anyone non-miltary.I exhibit no surprise. Still, I'll be rooting for his goal #2 (and of course for goal #1, simultaneously).

I have faith in Fay's ability to do anything she says she does well. Also I always put cocoa in my chili, and people who use envelopes of chili seasoning mix do too. In fact, I originally got the idea to put cocoa in my chili by reading the ingredients of one of those packets. Then when I lived in Arizona I learned that traditionally, and by traditionally I mean Aztec tradition, chocolate goes with chili for a very spicy combination. Making chocolate a sugary thing was a European idea.
I also add cocoa to my homemade spagetti sauce. It adds a rich depth that I really, really like. And so do most of the people who try it.
It takes me about an hour to drive to Geelong.
So? Geelong, little dogie.
Can't we all just Geelong?
nods emphatically.
Cocoa isn't just for mole, it can give real depth and oomph to chili and indeed to other similar things. (Also adds a nice note to sweet potato and black bean stew or soup, with cumin and chili and cinnamon.) And good pre-mixed chili sauce or seasoning usually includes cocoa.
sticks out tongue at doubters.
