I still think cincy "chili" is WRONG.
I imagine it's an acquired taste if you're not from here. Although I think most of the Buffistas who've visited me have been agreeable to it. (Billytea tried it and was polite about it not being All That; and I think shrift and I only went for pizza and beer; and Liese, The Boy, and I ate at Rock Bottom.)
But if you grow up eating it, hey, that's what normal tastes like. Nom.
I liked it! It wasn't chili, but I liked it.
I find the quickest way to punch up the flavor of veggie chili is a jar of good salsa.
Yeah, I use a good fresh salsa instead of tomato paste or stewed tomatoes. But that's not always an option away from salsa friendly regions.
That sounds like a pretty happy birthday, msbelle.
Props to your brother.

You have to mentally distinguish it from actual chili, and then it's really good.
msbelle, I'm so glad you have a brother like your brother.
Yay for your brother, msbelle.
Glad for a good end to the day, msbelle.
I don't think I put tomatoes in my chili. Haven't made it in a while, though, so I may just be forgetting.
Per the conversation earlier in the week, I lit a frozen candle and a room temperature candle and neither of them dripped. So, inconclusive.
Hope the snow waits 'til y'all are there, Hec.
Yay! Happy birthday msbelle! I'm glad it ended well.
I have been so thoroughly busy, busier than the usual first week of school. I hope I get a bit of breathing room soon.
Also? I was craving sushi all day even without dropping by here. Now I am REALLY craving it. sigh.
