Everything but the Kitchen Sink Chili

The cold air has hit, even a light dusting of snow has fallen, and in this house that means it’s time for chili. J’s chili, to be exact. I wish I had a recipe to share, but the measurements are far from exact. He kind of just throws everything but the kitchen sink in a crockpot and lets it simmer.

It’s yummy.

Because of the variation in ingredients, the end result is slightly shifted at each taste, while still remaining familiar. It is thick and hearty, especially with a handful of crackers. He makes enough to feed a neighborhood or two, so along with dinner, I had some for lunch yesterday and today and tomorrow and probably the day after. As well as late-night snacks and maybe even breakfast. It’s a good thing I don’t have anywhere important to be, because I’m sure I’ll smell like I bathed in it.

Tomato Delight

To put it bluntly, I’m not a very good cook. In fact, last week I burnt our chicken and lost half a sheet of potato fries when they stuck to the pan. There is one thing I excel at, though, and that’s a grilled cheese.

This is a normal lunch, when we don’t have salmonella scares on tomatoes, anyway.

Ingredients:
bread
pepperjack cheese
guacamole
tomato

The rest is fairly self explanatory. Use the guacamole as the glue on one slice of bread, the cheese on the other. In between, layer the desired amount of tomato. Grill. Eat. Enjoy. With a side of salt and vinegar chips.
