Too much of a good thing…Just did a taste test and the sour cream helps tone down the spice in the chili and I like it better w/as opposed w/o the sour cream:

Then I put the chili in the Fritos bag topped w/sour cream and it was good too.
I can get the attraction of the crunch from the Fritos and the simplicity of just pouring the chili into the bag. No fuss/no muss. Just toss away the bag when you're done. Will definitely consider it as a party treat in the future but I'd just used canned chili for that.

However, the chili is not a "light" dish and I can already feel what little I ate making a big lump in my stomach that needs time to digest. So, I'm not going to postpone trying the straight bowl of chili and chili/rice dinner plate in the next couple of days.
Lol. Wrong emoji maybe. I hate them-but they don’t go after me. They go after the wife and she goes crazy.NWFRS at me or the mosquitos? Were you being literal about catching it, ie to release it outside?
Can’t wait to see that when it’s finished.A further update on my brisket project. The 2.5# point has been curing in the frig for the past 5 days.

Don't know how to tell if it's ready or not but it's not a big piece of meat & figured 5 days was enough. Vaccum sealed & froze it for later use.

Thinking about firing up my vertical pellet smoker to BBQ the 3# center flat that I've also got in the freezer but it's been for f*cking hot recently, I just don't want to BBQ anything right now. Maybe later when it gets cooler.
