Blargh and Babble

Sep 12, 2006 15:08

Today is a downish sort of day. There's no particular reason for it that I can figure out. It just sort of is. Blargh.

I am slightly less busy at work today than I have been in weeks. It certainly isn't that I haven't anything to do, but there are fewer things with looming deadlines that have to be done right this second oh my god go go go!, ( Read more... )

What spices do you use in your chili?

trista September 12 2006, 20:40:10 UTC

This recipe only uses salt, pepper, and two teaspoons of chili powder, which sounded pretty inadequate to me. And it was.

Do you have a favorite chili recipe, vegetarian or otherwise?

I do! Alton Brown has an excellent recipe in his cookbook, I'm Just Here for the Food. We add more meat, and cumin.

My favorite chili spices are one pureed chipotle in adobo, cumin, about 19 cloves of garlic, and smoky paprika.

I have that book! I haven't made anything from it yet, but I have read the whole thing from cover to cover. I lurve Alton because he explains the why as well as the how. Yay, Alton! I'll definitely try his chili recipe.

I was very surprised not to see cumin in the recipe I just tried. I'll certainly be adding it to the reworked leftovers, as well as about a squillion more cloves of garlic and some paprika. I haven't tried the pureed chipotle before, but I think I will. Yum.

How are things going for you these days?

operatic September 12 2006, 21:12:32 UTC

Not bad, for the most part. Worrying about T's ankle, of course, and generally busy, but am mostly doing fine. I envy you your early Fall, but will be fine when your early Winter sets in. ;)

trista September 12 2006, 21:18:21 UTC

Pppbbbttt. We're going to have a beautiful magical snowfully glorious winter! So there! And during it, I bet I'll spend at least a day envying you. ;)

What's going on with T's ankle? I haven't been reading LJ very much, and I'm really far behind. Is she okay?

I've taught Rigby some commands in Welsh

"eistedd" - sit

"da'cha" -c'mon

"ci da" - good dog

work them into daily conversation and their yours!

Sweet. I wonder if Linus and Crazy Eddie would respond? Not that they respond to much of anything in English that doesn't have to do with their food, of course.
