Anyway, nothing demonic has escaped through the neighbor's open garage door, so I'm assuming that the hellmouth repair company is really good at their job.

I hope to never have personal knowledge of the issue, but foundation repair does seem like one of those things that could require a lot of time and prep work.

When I texted "nothing demonic has escaped" to Tim, this is his exact reply: "The Gentlemen, in dark suits, carrying briefcases and riding invisible Segways, might be coming out of that basement." (I replied "It’s so cold that I think they’d turn their invisible Segways back around and return to the toasty warm hellmouth.")

Lunch update - I had a banh mi and pho delivered. Banh mi today (this is your fault, Hec), pho tomorrow (not chili, but warm and spicy and eaten with a spoon)

I love beans, but I’m also managing the carbs so this chili had chunks of zucchini and eggplant in their place.

I made a fabulous meat chili a few years back from a Bobby Flay recipe. Four or five kinds of peppers and some dark chocolate in the sauce, puréed, no tomatoes, to braise big chunks of beef rather than ground beef. For me that falls into more of a fancy cooking category than a standard chili. Both delicious at the right time.
