I just made homemade chili, with freshly baked corn bread muffins. The chili is hot and I topped it with just sour cream and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Tall glass of ice-cold 2% milk to wash it all down.

Mmmm, holy shit was it amazing!! I've got plenty of leftovers; who wants a bowl? :mrgreen:

That is one of my favorite winter meals, what's yours?

    I'll take a bowl :mrgreen:

    Similar to how I like my chili, Although if you serve it in a Bread Bowl and a slice of Avocado on top, it's just that much better. :)

    Chili is hard to beat in the winter. Or at the beginning of fall, just as it's starting to get cold. Set down in front of the TV with a big bowl of chili and a college football game. That's a hard act to follow.

    a nice roast beef, slow cooked all day
    roasted root vegetables
    mashed potatoes and gravy
    warm spinach salad
    fresh apple pie with real whipped cream

    and a nap

    nothing beats a pot of something simmering on the stove on a cold day.

    Here you go, help yourself to the cheese and sour cream. :)


    Avocado on chili, huh? Never tried that.

    A friend came in off a crab boat last week and came over with a trash can full of dungeoness(?) crabs. We boiled them up in a pot out on the deck on a clear Oregon winter night and had our fill. What a good time.

    I have taken to broiling my chili in a Dutch oven. If you haven't made chili this way, it is amazing!!! You get the nice blackened edges on all the vegies!!! Yummy! The last batch I made was when we were taking down the Christmas tree and making up crass lyrics to The Twelve Days of Christmas... :twisted: Good times!

    It's funny because before i opened the thread, Chili was the first thing that came to mind. I like mine with just the shredded cheddar.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
