I am running late again, and it is nearly bedtime. I am late because I had to make chili for a chili cook off at work tomorrow. I am a pretty good cook, but my skills have dropped off some in the past few years. I was once known for making a great bowl of chili. I carefully selected fresh vegetables, used ground chuck as well as ground sirloin, and basically took a great deal of care while hand crafting my Texas inspired chili. I hope it is good enough to win tomorrow, but I have my doubts.
When I make chili you can feel it when you eat it, I do not make wimpy chili. I fear that the mid-western taste buds judging tomorrows eats will think my chili is too hot. I did not compromise my chili ideals for this one though. If the flavors marry the way I think they will in the refrigerator overnight, then I will have created something just short of a chili masterpiece. If great chili is not rewarded due to bland tastes in food, then so be it. The state of Texas and I know a real bowl of chili when we taste it and I have put together just such a chili. Tastes like heaven, burns like hell, the way it should be.
This is day 14 of my daily slog to post 30 times in 30 days.
