It's second only to the BBQ debate. LOL If you're not from a place where these things are art forms, you probably wouldn't understand. That being said, Texans take their chili *very* seriously. And they make it wrong. ;P

It's why the Chili cookoffs are second only to the Superbowl (assuming the Cowboys are in it) in Texas.

With the maturity that comes from adulthood, I've come to recognize that there are regional variations in BBQ, some of which are nearly as good as the real thing. BUT THERE AIN'T NO BEANS IN CHILI.

I'm deadly serious about my chili. But I also realize that my chili is completely untraditional and, by hardcore chili people's assessment, isn't actually chili at all since it contains all beans and no meat. I'm fine with that. My chili still tastes bad ass.

Derrick, I totally feel you on that. (I took the GRE a week after I signed up for it... sort of a last minute thing, so I didn't have enough time to panic.)

Yes, Melanie, but I'm talking about The One True Chili, born in the vast wastelands of west Texas, nurtured in Terlingua and the Texas Fat Stock Show in Houston, and revered in places as far away as The Loon Café in Minneapolis (which has awesome Chili, by the way, with NO beans and NO FUCKING TOMATO).

I prefer tomato in my chili. Big chunks of roasted tomato. YUM! Tthough, I can have it without tomato and be fine with it, too. I don't care that much.

Real chili is made with beans. All the westerns I refused to watch showed us that cowboys had to do something to make their infernal beans better.

And the funny thing is that I used to never use beans in my chili. I only started doing that because my husband likes it like that. It's habit now.

Here is my completed chili. It's so incredibly good I don't want to share it with the family. I used sour cream and cream of mushroom soup to thicken it, but that's not necessary. 5 different peppers are in this, and it's topped with pepperjack, avocado, cilantro and onion. I may grate some radish over my second bowl.
- Admiral Anika
This looks very nice. It's a good job my wife is roasting pork and it's nearly done so I can eat dinner soon.
- Ian May
I'm sooooooo stuffed right now from the two bowls I had. One key for me is that I saute my onions & garlic in cinnamon/salt/pepper. That helps give it a dynamic flavor.
- Admiral Anika
Egyirba, it's close to this one: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe.... Changes: I use a tablespoon of cinnamon when I saute. I use a whole bulb of garlic, I use pasilla, serrano, habenero and jalepeno peppers. The first 3 are fire-roasted then diced. You can use vegetable broth if you'd like. From the moment I started chopping until this was done was a little under an hour.
- Admiral Anika
This is killing me. I might make this after we get back to town.
- ha3rvey (big appetite)
Did some digging and found that pasilla peppers are also known as poblano chiles. If you eat Mexican or Central American foods, it's the pepper that's usually stuffed with stuff. If you eat Middle Eastern foods, it's the pepper that's usually roasted, that's served with the roasted tomato.
- Admiral Anika
Okay, one other change is i used 1 tablespoon of sour cream and a can of cream of mushroom soup to thicken it. You can also puree one can of the beans. I also used 1 lb. of ground turkey because I didn't feel like cooking a chicken. Looking at that recipe, I also used one less can of beans and broth.

Do you sort them all in chromatic scale- or some other order? I'd sort mine by length and/or type, since I can detect correct colors at runtime, so to speak (and if I can not, I shouldn't be needing to sort any color crayons in the first place).

Seth, Kisha, Well Conditioned, Iván Abrego and 3 other people liked this
This Salon article is a great read. From the article: "Living in a van was my grand social experiment. I wanted to see if I could -- in an age of rampant consumerism and fiscal irresponsibility -- afford the unaffordable: an education. I pledged that I wouldn't take out loans. Nor would I accept money from anybody, especially my mother, who, appalled by my experiment, offered to rent me an apartment each time I called home. My heat would be a sleeping bag; my air conditioning, an open window. I'd shower at the gym, eat the bare minimum and find a job to pay tuition. And -- for fear of being caught -- I wouldn't tell anybody."

When you think about it from the perspective of not having lived or having to live that lifestyle, it may seems unappealing. When you have lived it or have to live it.. it becomes just another life experience (voluntary or not) or lifestyle choice. Not sure where I'm going with that. But I have seem both sides where people choose to live that way and for a time I had to live that way (albeit very short and temporary)

I lived in a van for a semester when I was an undergrad in 1990 (in my case it was a 1974 Econoline Supervan). It wasn't an experiment so much as just playing the hand I was dealt at the time. Interestingly, I got the best grades of my college career that semester because I spent so much time hanging out in the library. ;-)

Robert had a sweet, romantic movie moment Anna. We were walking the babies this Christmas Eve when the lights in the entire neighborhood went out. It was about 11:30pm. We were still walking at midnight. The lights were still out when, literally, the very moment we kissed each other Merry Christmas, the lights in the neighborhood came on,...

Happy Holidays
- VAL D. Zone
Putting some kind of falling snow effect on your page doesn't make me feel like celebrating the holidays. Unless by 'celebrating the holidays', you mean me punching you repeatedly in the mouth. In that case, yeah. I'm feeling celebratory.

Why, Akiva, I'm so honored you went to my site! I wasn't expecting you to at all. lol (yes, I did put snow on my blog for Christmas) It was a shameless attraction to the wonder of the effect.

I can't believe that that doesn't get steamed up just from the moisture in the bread condensing on the glass.

It's on the front page of Jezebel now -- they received the same letter. Nicely, they linked to Anthony's videos (and did their usual best in responding).
- Jennifer Dittrich
Moore and her attorney need to be shamed publicly over this.
- Joe Silence
This is ridiculous - what do they hope to gain from this?
- WorldofHiglet
Yeah, I can't imagine the response from Boing Boing is going to be any more gracious and they have a huge readership.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I love one of the comments on that Jezebel article you mentioned, Jennifer: "Today, a group of celebrity-lawyers tried to stop the Internet. In response, the Internet pointed and laughed."
- WorldofHiglet
Yeah, I love the Jezzies. I feel like the response to that should be a Nelson "HA HA!" to go along with the pointing.

++WoH hahaha / Anthony Citrano rings a bell, isn't he on FF?
