I have never put in chili. Which means it's time to make another batch of chili...

My day was ok, better than yesterday. Didn't have much time to do more than pass through here between other tasks.

I'm Cajun enough to know what a Fais Do Do is. Beusoleil sounds familiar... probably heard them at some festival or another.

Versions of chili I remember making: Basic ground beef version, basic with vegetables and fresh peppers, chicken version, turkey version, kidney beans and vegetables, black beans and vegetables, black beans not so many vegetables... with a cornbread crust baked on top.

Most of my recipes are really just a list of ingredients. Cooking sort of runs in our family.

Yeah, my Dad's a chef...well he's retired now, but I guess it's kind of in the genes (& I'm not talkin' about Levi's). I've tried turkey chili a few times & chicken (numerous variattions)...some with slices of smoked sausage...want to try one with this nice Spicy chicken chorizo sausage I've found!

Ooh, cornbread crust

If memory serves...
Meatless Black bean chili, seasoned with cilantro, paprika, cayenne, hot peppers, onions, celery, lots of garlic, add carrots, corn, sea salt. Half fill a deep baking dish with chili, pour a cornbread batter over the chili and bake at directed temperature until the crust is solid and golden brown. Cutting the cornbread with a knife before attempting to remove it with a spoon is much easier than just trying to spoon it out of the pan.

If you really like spicy food, and I suspect that you do ... chopped peppers and garlic can be added to that cornbread batter.

Oh, you supect so correctly it's intuitive! for that hun, now if only my oven were better...its pretty weak. I'm thinking there must be some sort of adjustment I can make.

Among other things, I've been called telepathic.
Gas or electric oven?
If you use a metal baking dish, the chili casserole could be baked in a barbecue grill.

How was your day?

Sorry about the delay, I Was starting one of my ACE's welcoming notes/postings. But I was having trouble attempting to 'Preview' & I seem to have lost it! So I gave up, sent a couple e-mails, made a phone call & watched some TV. I did get back in now though...the day went fairly uneventfully.

No worries about the delay. Last night the server started acting up, so I left for a while as well.

Update:
The suspicious character from the first post has been in our store again, twice.

He came in last Friday: Same time, same cookies and same attitude. Yesterday, I was in the parking lot and saw them drive into the parking spaces on the other side of the building. I went in and informed the manager on duty. The back doors were then locked and everyone moved up to the front. He came in, went towards the back aisle... as soon as I asked "Can I help you?" he turned in mid step, mumbled, grabbed two packs of cookies, paid and left.

I have to say, it is hot enough here this time of year to run the air conditioner most of the day. There is no logical reason for this man to be wearing three shirts and a large, lined jacket, over really big, baggy jeans.

Hmmm, really makes you wonder, don't it!

Yeah, kind of weird, isn't it?

In a way, very weird...could he be sun-sensitive & wearing heavier clothing to protect him from sunlight? *grasping at straws*

No one could be that sun sensitive...except maybe Dracula.

Hey, it was a shot in the dark!

How's your day goin' hun? What with the time change, by the time we got the place semi-cleaned up it was almost 5 when I got in this morning...now more computer hassles - it informs me its changed the time, but I've got 8:14 pm, & can't seem to change anything except am or pm! *rolls eyes*

Maybe he is a .
That's a really late night, I'll bet you were exhausted.

Today was a very quiet Sunday, mostly laundry and preparing for another Monday...*sigh*. How was your day?

Have you tried this to reset the time: Start menu, settings, control panel, regional and language options, Regional, customize, time? My computer clock at home is set to GMT because of all the time I spend on this website.

Just a corny suggestion I couldn't resist*snicker, snicker*..next time he's in, greet him with "good evening count!"...on 2nd thought better not, no telling what that'd set off!

Well, there was a point last night where I actually had a little 'catnap' sitting on my barstool at the back of the room. They'd added another (7th) performer to the lineup, so it was just before Michael Kaeshammer came on shortly after midnight - if you haven't head of him he's a young (late teens) German immigrant who plays very impressive Boogie Woogie piano - really did some incredible stuff! (After both the nap & then him, I kind of got my 'second wind'...at least somewhat.)

Will persevere withe computr/time issue...I'd tried the control panel, settings, time/diplay route, but weill try some options...phone my cousin if neccessary.

Count Cookie Monster, perhaps...
That sounds like a night of good music. Seven performers? I'd have been falling asleep too.

There is an icon for date and time in the control panel menu.

Right, oddly it seems to be a "dead end"; it'll let me change time zone, year, month, am or pm...but neither hours our minutes!

And, needless to say, doesn't improve my typing...

Have you tried the up and down arrows?
