I ate a lot of chili today
A lot. Butternut squash chili, three bean, no bean, just chili, macaroni chili, apple something chili and others I can't remember.
We had a chili cook off at church today. Jackie and I sampled, but I did not make chili, only cookies.
I used to make chili. But sometimes it just didn't taste right. Every year I say I am going to find a recipe for next year, and I never do.
But cookies? I can make them. I made my favorite, Amish sugar cookies. They cook thin and crisp and almost melt in your mouth. I did manage to eat a couple before and after and during the event, and I think I have hit my cookie limit.
I realized today how much I really do like chili. Maybe it's time I start experimenting and seeing what I can come up with. Maybe a bison chili, or chicken, or alligator. Now that would be neat. Alligator chili.......hmm. Alligator chili...the dish with a snap!
Jackie and I also talked to her brother and sister in law in Florida. They were sitting in 80 degree temps while we still have the gas fireplace on. I can't seem to get warm.
And I did not get to see the Northern Lights. I looked, but nothing. I guess someday I will have to go north to see them again. I saw them once on a camping trip to Isle Royale, years ago. I'd love to see them again.
All this talk about food has made me hungry......maybe there is still a cookie or two hanging around.
Peace and Love
