'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
As part of getting donations for Haiti relief, an enterprising chap is offering, on eBay, a Pat Robertson voodoo doll and Rush Limbaugh voodoo doll. Proceeds from the Robertson doll go to the Red Cross, and proceeds from the Limbaugh doll go to DWB/MSF.
The Q&A section on the Robertson doll cracks me up.
Brenda, ha!
megan, come over next week and help me make lemon goodies and then take a bunch home!
Okay!
Speaking of goodies, I had my first of a few Dine About Town meals, at Aziza. I can't believe I waited this long to try it because I love Moroccan. It was amazing. And they did not skimp because it was restaurant week.
OM NOM NOM NOM CHILI. It turned out great! So tasty! It was like real chili, and I made it! My neighbors loved it and were surprised when I told them it was fake meat. The oyster crackers were also a good addition. One of them wants the recipe. It made about five bowls and was good for three people, so I'll need to make about twice that when I have the rest of them over.
On the downside, I ruined my neighbor's pot by turning up the heat at the end, which led to burnt chili residue on the bottom we couldn't get off with our best efforts. Next time, just let it cook longer and slower. Patience!
Those voodoo dolls are hysterical. And holy guacamole, the Robertson is going to bring in a wad of cash! Then again, as DH noted, it's going to a good cause.

Right on! Chalk up one new life skill! Good for impressing people AND keeping yourself well fed!

For burnt chili residue, I just soak the pan, usually overnight. Then it's a lot easier to get off.
P-C are you sure the pot was ruined? Sometimes I put water and dishwashing detergent in it and then heat up the water (don't leave it alone) and then take it off and let it soak overnight. Congrats on the good chili!
megan, YAY!
Yeah, they're going to try to soak it overnight. I hope that works. We tried boiling it away, but that didn't do it.

And healthily!
Next recipe? Beer bread! Sooooper easy, and impresses everyone.
