I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's big talk, Perkins.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That seems too easy, Steph. I could probably pull that off! It sounds tasty!

You don't have to add any extra water or anything? 45 minutes seems like a long time.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Talkyface, shhhhhhh, unless you're singing "Happy Birthday" to msbelle and showering her with vintage garments and accessories.

Sophia, Hec has been making amazing vegetarian chilis for the past few weeks, the kind where all the spices play beautifully together and it all tastes even better three days later; whenever he pops in and gets caught up, he'll have some good suggestions.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I was thing of trying this recipe, but it seems crazy to only cook it for 5 minutes. Am I reading something wrong?
I think you're just combining cooked items at that point. Heating is probably all you need to do.

I make veg. chili, but I use faux meat crumbles, because I love meaty chili.

I'm searching for one with some fat in it. It's fake MEAT, people, put some fat in it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

P-C, it is SO good. I should be humble, but I can't be.

Besides, the flavor comes from the fact that the chili beans are pre-spiced (I use mild because I am a wimp, but there are also canned chili beans that are hot), and the packet of chili spice.

I serve it with shredded cheddar and oyster crackers; other people throw some sour cream on top, along with chopped onion (since I don't cook it with onion), and the people who prefer it hotter than I make it just add Tabasco.

I'm not sure I've had chili beans, but Safeway has these great diced tomatoes with green chilies that I would use for that recipe.

No, because the canned tomatoes have a lot of liquid. Since it takes 2 cans, that's plenty liquid.

And 45 minutes on medium-low is just enough time for the spices to start to mingle. Honestly, it's better the next day, after it's sat in the fridge, because the spices really start to boogie.

That's why I add vegetable oil. I honestly hadn't thought to do it until The Boy mentioned that the chili could be fattier.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have tried adding butter, because I did realize that it was mostly fat missing from the vegetarian chili, but it still tastes better to me with ground beef. I just want to not need it,you know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's big talk, Perkins.

It kind of is, since I have to work, but there's another 3 day weekend in Feb!
