Today is the unofficial start of fall; I am making chili.
It's pouring rain outside, and has been for some time now. It's still sort of warm & muggy, but it's definitely September out there, so it is time to sit inside & cook all day. Oh, and also there's beer.
Here's what we're drinking at this very second, if you are interested.
The un-initiated are always taken aback by my chili at first. Things like "where are the tomatoes?" and, "when do you add the beans?" are often heard, usually with varying degrees of concern detectable in the voice of the inquisitor. The only real reply which can be given is "don't ever speak to me that way again." It is only hours later, upon wiping up their plates with a home made tortilla, that they "get it." See, there is great debate among chili afficionados, and various approaches and styles to the dish. If you are using tomatoes or beans, or fucking zucchini or some ridiculous shit like pineapples (I actually heard that for the first time the other day), rest assured that, no matter how good you think your chili tastes, it would be instantly disqualified from any sanctioned competition.
More info to come
