Pagans IV: Because This is a Weird Place

Christians leave their physical bodies immediately after death and are met by...

… the ghost of Casper Houser.

… a rabi, a priest, and an ayatollah coming out of a bar.

… Earle (Leon Rippey) …

That sounds good...I use about a pound and a half of cooked, lean seasoned beef, red and black kidney beans (one can each), one can of black beans, one large can diced tomatoes, some seasoning (trade secret) both on the meat and in the mix (though the store packets really aren't all that bad in a pinch), a little hot sauce and a little brown sugar, slow cook the mess for a few hours...sometimes I'll add a handful of crumbled Ritz crackers if I want to thicken it a little.

I like to serve it over a little wild rice. :chew:

That's the kind of chili I grew up with, when I saw my wife make chili with chicken I was skeptical but I noticed it eliminated browning and draining the beef and I wondered why we brown and drain the beef why not just throw it in there and my wife said that if we did that all that fat we drained would be floating on the top and I didn't understand why that was a bad thing.

Now we're talking.

I like to add corn to mine. I usually make it with jalepeños, but I think I'm going to try something with a little more fire power.

Ive never had chili with corn in it, im going to try that!

 

[Quincy]

I always add corn, too. It's great to have that contrast between the spices and sweet taste of the corn.

It's also a nice color contrast. You know. IF you're into that sort of thing.

But I think I might make beer again before I make chili again...

A pot of petunias, falling to the earth, thinking to itself: "Oh NO!!! Not AGAIN!!!"
An angel, saying: "The Holy Spirit only speaks in verses;"
A lady in a silly hat, saying: "Good day."
An answer to their TOL thread, that says, "Answered... HERE, HERE and HERE."

No, you idiot! There's a football game tomorrow! Make chili!

Get your act together, Cal.

Careful, you might upset you. Last time I did that, I was beside myself with anger.

Yeah, I just don't know what my problem is sometimes. :bang:

Totally using corn in mine this weekend. Gotta get the constituents tonight. Will be epic.

I would use green and yellow sweet peppers for some color and taste. Not corn.

If you find a particularly sweet yellow or red pepper and don't cook it too much, then maybe. I've done that a few times.

I also use green and some other colored pepper. I just like the corn too.

Over-cooking them is a problem. I love the taste of sweet peppers, but they don't hold up to hours of simmering. I also like some celery in my chile, and that tends to want a lot of cooking time, so part of making chile involves adding things along the way.

Agreed. Adding the peppers late is something I need to start doing. And I like to put in a stalk or two of celery during the simmer and just toss them at the end when they're mush.

Chili came out tasty, but not nearly spicy enough.

Same here. I need to figure out how to add some serious elan to the mix.

That's my birth year, too. I put a can of the spiciest Rotel in my chili, which helps but yea, it's never spicey enough for me, anything close to what I'd like.... my family freaks out over it.

Everybody was afraid of mine too, but it was about as spicy as Gerber banana goop.
