Chicago Ex-Pat Texan Chili for Thanksgiving

Center Cut Bacon to taste (Squared)
1.25 lbs of Ground Chuck
1 Yellow Onion (Chopped)
1 Green Bell Pepper (Chopped)
2 Cloves of Garlic (Diced)
1 Can of Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 Can of Tomato Sauce
1 Can of Diced Tomato
1 Tablespoon of Tomato Paste
3 Teaspoons of Chili Powder
1/2 Teaspoon of Cayenne
Dash of Paparika
Dash of Cumin Ground
Dashes of Chulola Sauce
Dashes of Oregeno
Salt and Pepper to taste

Cook Bacon
Add Chuck, Onion, Garlic to Bacon and Bacon Fat
Wait for Onions to turn translucent-ish
Add Bell Pepper, Tomatoes
Add Kidney Beans WITH bean juice from same can, do not strain
Add spices

Usually, the beans are drained, but we discovered accidentally that the bacon fat and bean juice complement each other quite nicely.

It works best if you add the meat, onion, and garlic when the bacon is not quite done. Then you brown the meat, add everything else, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered about twenty minutes or until the vegetables are cooked and the chili reaches the desired consistency.

Okay there is something seriously wrong with this whole RH situation. There's probably at least $5,000 worth of loving FURNITURE in that picture. How the hell is that justified? Not to mention the pipe just chilling out.

I'm not sure. We were supposed to be celebrating a version of the holiday like the picture on the box. It didn't quite work out like that. Whatever. It tasted delicious.

Hey, the jpegs are cheap!


$320 Doesn't even buy a phone without a plan, and they make tens of thousands of them of the same model.

I bet all the sales of some of these ships don't even cover the cost of developing even using all the short cuts they already have. The bulk of money for the really expensive ships probably comes from the majority of basic package purchases.

If the price was decided after it was built, based on the actual cost to produce divided by the sales, I bet your ship would run closer to $1000 bucks

OMG... 1st time I've ever used that acronym

But that is all I can say after spending an hour in the 'Verse. My mouth is still hanging open and my jaw is still on the ground. And it's not about the things I saw or did. It's about the feeling, that feeling I have been dreaming about for 3 years. I'll be taking that feeling to bed with me shortly, and I will lay there reliving the experience as I drift off to sleep.

You ask me to describe the feeling? The only thing I've experienced that comes close is afterglow. It is as close to that first time I had sex those many years ago. I couldn't describe that feeling then to anyone either.

All I can say for those who don't have access yet is, "It's worth the wait."

Yep. I don't know why the gently caress I thought my attempts at cookie/cupcake decorating would somehow turn out differently just because I had a kit this time.

gently caress it. These cupcakes represent the average American dysfunctional family around the holidays. They resemble the picture on the box exactly as much as the average American family resembles a goddam Hallmark commercial. It's PERFECT.



Whatever. Nobody has ever done that EVER.

Oh, that was all of them except the equally-unphotogenic one I ate before Bootcha took the picture. Granted, we didn't make nearly enough icing, but it's not like that would have made a difference considering the total lack of effort in lining the eyes up neatly and then insisting on using ALL the eyes even though we had extras. But at least they still tasted fantastic.

I doubt very much I could even get a cake to look that good before ruining it. I usually have better luck with cupcakes since there's less surface area to ruin. The Black Forest cupcakes I made for Bootcha's birthday were gorgeous, but of course I can't find a photo of them. Here's a photo of a plain cupcake instead as proof I can kind of decorate cupcakes sometimes.

At my job, we used to be allowed to have a shot or two of horrible, horrible Fireball on slow Friday afternoons. Then a couple of the others took advantage of it and started doing it all the time and now we aren't allowed to anymore (thanks).

Also, my dad used to work at a place where they'd have a beer on Friday afternoons, but then their insurance told them to stop.

So it COULD happen, but . . . really? Leaving it out on your desk when the cameras are on? Even my lovely job would never allow that.

Whatever. A shot glass on camera is the LEAST of their worries. I'd be cool with them having a shot on Friday afternoons or special occasions or something IF there weren't employee abuse and expensive vacations and fancy cars/houses and trying to break into the movie industry when you're SUPPOSED to be making a goddam video game.

gently caress you, Chris and Sandi.
