Chili

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today?  I suspect your emotions have calmed down somewhat, and you are back in the real world.  Well, I hope you are feeling healthy and happy and everything is easy going for you.  I have had enough of lentils!  Today it's back to chili.  I had a pot of beans slow cooking off and on the stove top for the past couple of days.  The key to great chili folks, is to focus on the beans.  Make sure the beans taste great THEN add the beef.  It's a good idea to wash the beans first before you soak them.  I think I did that, I don't remember.  Don't throw away the water that you soaked the beans in!  Cook the beans in that water!  Add more water as you need it.  I haven't been adding tomato paste into my chili lately, but today I decided to do that.  I dunno, I just felt like it.  The result is, that it tastes like chili.  It doesn't taste unique, it tastes exactly like chili.  It tastes so NORMAL.  I think those lentils really messed with my head.  And my jaw.



I have a white rose bud in my yard growing bigger.  When it blooms, I'll have Mary Unknown7 start wearing other colors again.  Sunday is still black, though.
