Typo is the new doctor at the same practice? Because the only big glitch I can see is needing to port over all your medical info from one doctor to the next.

And Aimee, I'm sorry about the continuing tsuris with the former friends. Whether it's romantic or friendship, breakups are hard.

No not at the same practice. The current doctor part of a giant mill. The mew one is an independent practioner. One thing about medicaid. About 95% of doctors do not take it. So very limited pool to select Howver those who do take it are about evenly divided between quacks who make in profitable by giving inadquate care to huge numbers of people and really good doctors who are willing to take a loss to help people. If you are on medicaid and can avoid the former and get the latter you are golden.

Joe and I are basically coming to the conclusion that there are a lot of people in that group that Suck.

Yeah, well.... Thinking about it, I can't disagree with you there.

Cooks among us, please advise.

I made a big pot of turkey chili in the slow cooker and went whoaverboard with the chili powder.

It is still eatable, but is there anything I can do to tone down the hot?

Make more chili. Add more beans or can of tomato or whatever you've got. You can't boil it off. There's no flavor that's going to take that edge. In other recipes I'd try adding some kind of hard cheese grated into it, but I don't think that would work with the chili. Maybe. But the flavor would change a lot.

Eat it with lots of cheese, sour cream, and/or cornbread?
