Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I just realized I forgot to separate some ground beef I bought before I froze it, so I was thinking I'd just make a vat of chili, but now I think I might make some of it into Cincinnati-style chili! People who know, does this recipe look legit? [link]

Looks pretty legit, although I would use unsweetened cocoa powder instead of chopped chocolate. I personally have my chili as a 4-way with beans, because I don't care for onions. NoiseDesign will say a 5-way is best.

There's at least one chili place in town that makes a 6-way, where it's spaghetti, chili, beans, onions, cheese, and a fried egg on top. I have never tried that, and don't plan to. My brother says it's good, although odds are very good he was drunk out of his mind when he had it.

[edit] I just googled, and another chili place does a 6-way with fried jalapeno caps in place of the egg.

Woo, the stress migraine has arrived right on time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Same. The spice blend there is pretty different from the one I use (1 teaspoon of cumin? HA) but it looks like it will still be tasty.

(I also don't boil the ground beef, but that is the correct way to get the authentic Skyline texture.)

Tep, I'm glad the funeral arrangements are going smoothly.

Zmayhems, I hope you get that house!

I'm going to assume the funeral home will insist on masks, and beyond that, I dunno.

If the funeral home doesn't, maybe you can tell the funeral home to put up a sign, then blame it on the funeral home if anyone is being a jackass.

I am in Facebook jail for saying that "I will cut a bitch" for calling the 80s/90s "the 1900s". Apparently, I have violated the community standards on violence and incitement. I can't decide if I should protest the decision or not. I'm not particularly tied to the post, but I find it . . . not ironic, but something, that FB is giving me a smackdown for a sarcastic joke and the Jan 6 insurrectionists planned a whole ass coup of the government on Messenger and Whatsapp

Cool cool cool -- thanks to you both!

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

That is ridiculous, Vortex. Part of me thinks you should absolutely protest because that's some serious double standards and they shouldn't get away with that but a larger part questions whether it would be worth your time because what difference would it make. But maybe it would, I don't know their process at all, if that would make an actual human look at it and see the ridic rather than some algorithm flagging things willy nilly, then it's still stupid that you have to jump through that hoop but maybe would help train the stupid algorithm? IDK

Our wings are not tired.

I'm jealous. I've never been in FB Jail! I know so many who have. I clearly need to change my ways.

Doctor visit was good. Cleared for swimming. BP was 122/80, which considering I drove 45 minutes in the rain on I-95 and was sitting waiting for a pelvic exam that was a most surprising BP. Also jogged across the parking lot in the rain so my pulse was probably high, but she didn't comment on that.

this exactly.

I know! I'm just irritated that it's for some bullshit like this.
