"Seriously, Dude, Gimme Me That Chili Recipe" Tuesday

[matthew]

(waiting for someone to tell Dan it's 'Wilco' and not Wiloc')

No, but seriously...why didn't anyone tell me that Spalding Gray had been found like 8 days ago now? I only found out last night. Thanks Media Machine...I know you're busy repeating the same stories endlessy over one 24 hour period but...just a little snippet maybe inserted in between all the other filler?

Who am I talking to? I don't even know any more.

I'm still here Matt.  You know me, right?  And you know the Kid, Miche, and Tripp.  But as far as you know, Caw could be a overweight Filipino maid with too much time on her hands.  And Savannah a hairy dude from Idaho.  Moe could even be some pot-head English teacher from Texas!

I AM NOT HAIRY!!!

i don't have a recipe.  i assemble ingredients and prepare based on intuition and the number of diners.

and unlike pogo, i don't enter contests.  and this chili is meatless.  

i will divulge that it employs garlic, onions, green peppers, chili powder, as well as the obligatory noodles for the cincinnati connection, freshly grated super sharp cheddar cheese, and a chopped roma tomato dropped upon the finished pile.

I'm good at making big messy meals (anything with lots of ingredients burned in one pot) and my chili is no exception. I too, drop the meat...er...well, I don't eat red meat so...but I also drop the cheese...I find it heavy enough with all the beans and veggies.

'Course, more an' more I'm thinking that I may be lactose intolerant. Stuffed peppers were always good until a couple of bites and then the cheese starts to make me queasy.

I'm making meself a good, hearty vegetable soup tonight-barley, split peas, lentils, kidney beans, black eyed peas, rice, tomato, celery, onion. I still hate having to soak all this crap ahead of time.

Anyone know any interesting variations of Tabbouleh? I haven't made it in a while and I'm still kinda bored with the basic recipe.

i don't cook.

Is that all you got?  Where's the cinnamon?  The cumin?  The mace?  I know you're holding back on me!

Well, thanks anyway.  It looks like my cincinnati style is more advanced than yours...

I even have a wild permutation of it which involves more of an emphasis on Indian spices + spinach & creme fraiche...in other words, it's like a hybrid of cincinnati chili and saag.  And then I put it over basmati rice instead of pasta...and top it with the shredded cheddah.

(Sub textured vegetable protein for beef if you want to make it vegetarian.)

A friend of mine named it Cincinnati Saag for me and I find that agreeable.

[Doctor Rock]

I soak the couscous in a 2/3 lemon juice, 1/3 olive oil mixture for two hours before cutting up the veggies and mixing them (no need to boil anything).  I like using coriander instead of parsley and lots of fresh tomato and black olives.  And mint leaves from my garden.  I go easy on the onions, and I usually serve it with some extra hot merguez sausages.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to add...

Fuckity fuck fuck fricknfrackity fuck fuck!

It's a goddamn blizzard here.

These roads are undrivable!  I about slid to my death 5 times!

I'm not doing anymore work today.

[Doctor Rock]

I AM NOT HARRY!!!

Of course you're not Harry.  You're Sav Bearden!

[matthew]

next?

I wanted to talk about this depressing matter at length.

Ah...sorry. With every passing day the world becomes more and more surreal...maybe it's all the Yes.

I know this is a stale argument, but it remains true: if Ashton Kutcher broke his toe I'd know every last detail...but a talented man's rotten corpse being pulled from the river...ah...who cares?

 

[matthew]

let's eat.
