sj, how do you make yours? I use about a pound of ground beef (or, now that I live with a vegetarian, I use Smart Ground faux beef), 2 cans of Brooks (or other brand) chili beans, 1 can red kidney beans, 2 cans crushed tomatoes, and a hell of a lot of spices.
I tend to make it differently each time. Today I cooked 1 1/2 large onions then added 2 pounds of ground beef, which I cooked until brown. Then Added 4 tbs chili powder, some salt and pepper, a tsp or so each of cumin, dried oregano, and paprika. Added a few dashes of cinnamon. Two 8 oz cans of tomato sauce, one can of diced tomatoes, 2 cans of black beans, and one can of red beans. I think that was it. Then I just cooked it up until it looked done-ish.
mmmmmmmmm...chili
I must ask Mom how she makes hers. It was always amazing, as was her homemade stew.
Oh, cool haunting photos, Aimee!
And less cool haunting story of the bad boy with blue lips. Freaky.
When I was in third grade we moved into a new house (new to us; built in 1865). My bedroom was the back corner. I started having these dreams that my room was on fire almost as soon as we moved in. I remember telling my parents about them one morning at breakfast and them exchanging A Look. Turns out that part of the house had burned down and been rebuilt.
They were more freaked out than I was. I remember being like, "Oh, okay, that explains it. Already happened, don't need to panic."
This reads like you spent your morning in a disaster movie. Is it the Killer Frost?
I did! (I saw the missing SUV roof on my way home.) It was not the Killer Frost, more the Thin Blue Ice.
Me too. But not. I wanna go anywhere but work and home.
the board is
creepy
quiet
Some of us are very busy watching the CSI marathon on Spike.
No doubt!
can't believe I forgot where I was before I posted that
I have to stay here until I finish making a pretty chart using Department of Labor figures for hourly and annual wage figures (with my suggestions for future salary ranges) for every single position in the company. I foresee being here until, um, next year.
