All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It is getting cool here so I made yummy pumpkin chili! Pureed pumpkin, tomatoes, lentils, garbanzo beans, peppers, garlic, and artichoke hearts. Served with avocado slices because I like chunks of avocado in my chili instead of putting cheese on top. It was very autumn like!

I wonder if I could just leave out the tomato? Or would it need some other acidic element? This allergy is so annoying. I need someone to make a cheat-sheet for substituting tomato in recipes.

Maybe you could adjust a white chili recipe? I haven’t tried this one, but it seems pretty typical for white chicken chili. [link]

There are also bean options out there.

Our wings are not tired.

I would think that just adding some vegetable broth would work. It is mostly the chili powder that makes chili chili. I did a quick Google search and found many recipes for chili without tomatoes. This one is meaty but I usually just do beans and/or lentils and/or the soy crumbles. My chilis are different every time! [link]

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

leave out the tomato?

Dixon's Famous Chili is still going strong on 40 Hwy.

Fuck cancer.

My boss was diagnosed. I don’t know the details, but I think early stage breast. She is not up on her healthcare, so I’m glad she got checked this year, apparently she doesn’t normally. She’s 67 and this is on top of almost a month of various other health things including diminished kidney and liver function they’ve been watching.

msbelle, that sucks. Fuck cancer.

I'm going to send a thank-you cheese box to my college roommate who hosted us last week. I've heard people say good stuff about Zingerman's -- is that a good choice?

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

So I was CRAVING fried fish for lunch, and I found a nearby restaurant called "Harlem Seafood Soul" and ordered the fish & grits from an app. When I got there the lady at the counter told me that they were out of grits, so I had to settle for fish & chips. And it was TERRIBLE. I'm SO DISAPPOINTED. the cornbread was good tho

I am shaking my tiny fist in their direction on your behalf, Scola.

I also kind of want cornbread now.
