What's that you're eating?


To be clear, I'm such a "purist" that I went full circle last weekend. I made a small batch of chili and, in my quest to add some extra substance and nutrition for my wife and daughter, I added some finely chopped green cabbage. As I watched the cabbage disintegrate in the simmering pot, a thought flashed through my mind: "what if I just added some frijoles instead?" Don't worry, that thought was quickly obliterated by my next thought: "no, frijoles in chili would be just plain silly." Thus, another pot of chili was rescued from humiliation.

I understand. Last batch of real chili I made. Meat, chilis.
