In a stew...

Just taste-tested a pot of chili I made for tonight's Warren County Doll Club meeting (Christmas potluck). It's a variation on this recipe. I made it extra-mild for the delicate taste buds of most of the elderly Midwestern ladies. It still has a little kick, though, so I'd better pack extra sour cream, shredded cheese, and such, just in case.

O'course, if I were making it for just myself, I'd have doubled the normal number & heat of serrano peppers, & had my sinuses finally cleared up. sigh. Maybe I should pack some of my many varieties of salsa, for kicks.
