Oh, thanks, friends!! I hadn't even noticed!! I thought I was slowing down! It's like marriage...you put a bean in the pot every time you have sex the first year, and then after that, you take a bean out every time. The story goes, that you never empty the pot!! Well, it's still good for me, even though I'm probably just talking mostly to myself. It's better'n sex (Mostly)!  ::)

I cooked tonight - and I hardly ever cook (I'm not suicidal after all  :P).
But when I woke up this morning I had a craving for chili - American style.
I don't know how many bowl of chili I ate this summer while traveling in the States, but I haven't had any since. So I looked up on-line recipes, bought lots of stuff from the store and actually managed to make a decent chili. I served it the way I always get it served in American restaurants with cheese, onion and crackers.
Mum, dad and Sophia all seemed to like it. Yay - I can actually cook something!

the base is ground beef, beans and tomatoes. I also added garlic, cumin, chili powder and green bell pepper.

Sounds great, Monika! I am having something very similar, a half world away! I'm making posole, which is hominy instead of beans, with meat, garlic, onions, and the same spices as in chile. I've had the dried hominy for ages and just got a wild idea to cook it today while puttering around. It filled the kitchen with a lovely flavor. For the meat, I cut meat off of barbequed pork ribs and added it in small chunks. I also added tomato puree and roasted red chilis. We'll see if it does justice to the season.

Yay to you for introducing your family to the flavors of the great Southwest!!
