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.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

I still think cincy "chili" is WRONG.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I need to keep reminding myself that I am Not Hungry. I just bought many delicious things at Trader Joe's and I want to eat all of them NOW.

Oops - there definitely should have been cinnamon in that recipe above. Fixed now. I also sometimes toss in a fresh jalapeno if I happen to have one.

I just want chocolate now. Dark chocolate. And ice water.
Well at least I can satisfy the second part.
