If there's any deep truth to chili making, it's that no two batches are the same. Even using the same recipe, you tweak. Non-tweaking is for sissies.
Another deep truth is, you always use alcohol in your chili. I'm not sure if it makes much difference, but every time I add some, I giggle like a school girl. You get a feeling akin to mischief when putting 2 shots of Quervo into a pot of chili. (oh, did I leak a valuable secret?)
Yes, we burned the chili yesterday. Yes, we had a good excuse... it was necessary to go out for beer and cigars.
Yes, we got back on the horse. Chili making is not for the faint of heart.

Burnt Jose Quervo is no friend of mine... But, I suppose, to cigar smokers everything tastes the same.
I don't know how yours is going, but mine is going great...ummm smells so good, almost ready!
Didn't your mother tell you not to leave the stove on when you left the house.
Two words: celery salt. And I have the chili cookoff trophies to back up that cryptic statement.
Having experienced Dave's chili myself, it was worth the time invested to cook a second batch.
Your chili was second only to my wife's (which by default would have won ANY chili contest!)
Great job. Wish i could have been there to see your secret ingredient. Then again, maybe it's better we don't know...
Men who make chili are hot.
Men who burn chili for a cigar and beer run are hotter still.
CP.
My understanding is that it's two parts Quervo in the chili, and equal parts by mouth. Actually, double parts by mouth. With salt. Yum.
Strange how this blogsurfing works. I landed on your chili post after starting with my own post about chili an hour earlier. There may be a pattern to this randomness....
Cuervo in Chili?
~sigh~
My hero...
so what's the water bong for? any chilli is going to taste good after that.
