Chili Bowl

This pic is some of the stuff I put into my salsa that goes into my chili, that we will see if it is good enough to win an ad hoc chili contest this Super Bowl weekend. I think we have five entries. If mom wins again!!!

Mine is not a ground beef kidney bean chili (which won a few years back at my sister's house. Dear sister put all the chilies on the same plate! and by the time the ringers (guests . . . from across the street) got to the last chili (mine) and, of course they ate them in order, my chili was cold and a mix of all the other juices and wayward bean, and thus my bitter cold defeat . . . sisters, uhhhhh!

Well, that was years ago and who even remembers things that happened on Saturday October 4^th, 2003 in Canyon Country around 7:35 pm on flimsy paper plates . . . really.

So my chili has grilled chicken marinated in spices and tequila, Italian sausage grilled in the case to keep some snap, chili beans and my fruit laden salsa. Today’s salsa, it is always different, has the typical tomato, onion, cilantro, green onion, and peppers, but this time the bell, jalapeño, and serrano peppers have been grilled and stripped of the skin, and this day’s medley has nectarine, apple, and mango . . . the mango is perfect. . .

And here is to the chili being the same, if not better . . . for all to enjoy, . . . of course, simply to enjoy . . . nothing to do with putting little tokens in a jar . . . nothing at all . . .

A Tip of the Day: If you are making guacamole, today (Friday) really should be the last day to get your avocados. You don't want to rush to the store on Sunday and only find green rocks. . . .
