Felt like such a loser last night that most of my old journal entries from a year and a half ago sound totally current...do I not get anywhere at all?! But my dental check-up was better...
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Something must be in the air. Decided to pop in and wave at people's pixels!

anybody got a killer chili recipe? My oven is on the fritz and my shitty management company doesn't think they can fix it in time for my annual Super Bowl party. Or ever. So I have to come up with a main dish that isn't the lasagna I was planning or uses my oven. Feh.

I make pretty good chili, but I don't really have a recipe. More like throw in some of this and that.

Daisy Jane! Good to see you. How's life?
I make chili pretty often, but it is usually a cleaning the fridge out type event. Basic variety:
1 pound meaty stuff (ground beef, turkey, soy crumbles)
Sauteed onions/garlic and bell pepper(s)
maybe 3 cans diced tomatoes
maybe 3 cans beans (black, red, white, whatevs)
Jalapenos because I like the heat
Frozen corn, or any other veggies you like
Couple tbls chili powder - tbl or cumin, sometimes oregano

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I make a decent chili, but mine is adapted from someone else here (either Steph or Deena or Windsparrow, I think). I'm a picky eater with texture issues though, so no "chunks" in mine (no onions, peppers, tomatoes other than sauce, etc.) beyond the chunks of meat and the beans. I could give you mine as a base, I suppose, to help you scale and you could tweak accordingly. But hopefully somebody else here has a recipe they feel more strongly about!

Hey!
The chili in Texas is meat, tomato, onion, garlic, peppers and spices. I think they give you an official warning for beans or corn.

NE regions are much more flexible on the chili content.

Hey Daisy!
The only chili I make is veg for JZ so it's got a lot of black beans and mushrooms (and ground soy) in it. Still very tasty. I tend to use a Moroccan blend of spices for it so it's not traditional though it still "reads" as chili on the taste buds. (I think cumin is the deciding factor.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
ETA: Hi, Daisy!
H makes a version I can actually eat.
One mediumish Vidalia onion, pureed, ground beef sauteed with the onion, garlic, and black pepper. 1 can each dark and light kidley beans with liquid, 1 can garbanzos and 1 small can "summer crisp" Green Giant corn (it's slightly undercooked--good texture), drained, and one packet Carol Shelby's chili mix. It's mild chili with lots of texture and no peppers or tomatoes (love 'em, they *hate* me and try to kill me), and no onion solids. If you want to try it and want it hotter, add sriracha or tabasco. I throw in a handful of diced sharp cheddar cubes. Nom.
