Chip Ahoy म्हणाले...: Is professor Althouse really goth?

Answer: Yes. Quite perceptive of you, really goth. Admonishments to protect the garlic are part of carefully thought out misdirection.; ११/५/१०, ३:०९ PM
Sarah from VA म्हणाले...: That looks like a nice healthy chili with all those veggies. Me, I like mine a bit meatier.

Chili always makes me think of home. Chili over a baked potato was my mom's go-to meal, right after spaghetti. She never added much in the way of spice, though. My grown-up self needs a nice hot chili.

A recipe I made recently and really liked is at Crepes of Wrath. The addition of sausage doesn't exactly make things healthy, but it does taste good!; ११/५/१०, ३:१० PM
Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...: Heresy!

Although it does look really yummy...don't ever try to call that chili anywhere in the southwest. Chili purists will have your head. LOL; ११/५/१०, ३:११ PM
Meade म्हणाले...: Sorry, DBQ, but my chili is THE most popular chili in the entire southwest. Award-winning. Hailed by chili purists far and wide throughout the southwest.

rhhardin म्हणाले...: Armstrong and Getty on whether Kagan is gay is amusing for some rhetorical turns.

1775OGG म्हणाले...: DBQ: Chili is as Chili does and remember DADT applies here too!

OBTW, Meade's stuff does look like a good vegie plus stew!; ११/५/१०, ३:४९ PM
garage mahal म्हणाले...: You have a good 4 months to perfect your chili recipe for the annual Monona Businessmen Chili cookoff, Meade. That's if you have the GONADS to enter! I don't know they do things in Ohio, but this a serious event for serious chili cooks. Can't really blame if you have to say no in front of everybody here....; ११/५/१०, ३:५१ PM
Unknown म्हणाले...: A couple of days late (thanks to Elenamania), but a little something to gladden more than a few hearts.

Chip, that is no way to treat a lady.; ११/५/१०, ४:२० PM
LordSomber म्हणाले...: But what kind of peppers?

Chili-Heads demand to know.; ११/५/१०, ४:३४ PM
As my whimsy leads me.. म्हणाले...: Southwest Ohio, Meade? Really? Where's the spaghetti? Where's the cinnamon? Does it have chocolate in it? To get a gold star (;-) don't you need all those things? And onions on top? And cheese? That would beat all 5 ways to Sunday! If I ate it I'd have a waistline as big as a skyline!

Be म्हणाले...: Good Technic, by the way. I live in Cutco sales territory, and have actually taken the time out to show the potential Harvard Grads I've liked that. :-); ११/५/१०, ५:०७ PM
Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...: At least you aren't putting SPAM into the chili.....I hope.; ११/५/१०, ५:५७ PM
Meade म्हणाले...: "Sear" garlic? Did you mean 'sauté'?

Yes, I did mean lightly sauté.

Sure, garage mahal, I'm game. Bring it on!

But what kind of peppers?

Jalapeño, cayenne, paprika, and bell

Southwest Ohio, Meade? Really? Where's the spaghetti? Where's the cinnamon? Does it have chocolate in it? To get a gold star (;-) don't you need all those things? And onions on top? And cheese?

Yes, Toy. Yes. It's there. It's there. Yes - semi-sweet. Yes. Yep. Oh you better believe cheese. WISCONSIN CHEESE!

Waistline? That's why, here in Wisconsin, we ride bikes!; ११/५/१०, ६:०३ PM
Meade म्हणाले...: No, DBQ... no hormels. None.; ११/५/१०, ६:१४ PM
garage mahal म्हणाले...: Just bought three new Treks at the Village Peddler. Love 'em! Mine at least.; ११/५/१०, ६:२५ PM
Jeff Westcott म्हणाले...: Meade needs too work on those knife skills.; ११/५/१०, ६:३७ PM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: Cincinnati is a great place. It is also the world center for the best treatment available for a genetic disease called tubular sclerosis.; ११/५/१०, ७:०५ PM
As my whimsy leads me.. म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; ११/५/१०, ७:४५ PM
As my whimsy leads me.. म्हणाले...: Trad guy--surprised to see mention of that here. It's not very common. I became acquainted with it when I worked with kids with epilepsy, and it is one of the possible causes.

Toy; ११/५/१०, ७:४९ PM
As my whimsy leads me.. म्हणाले...: And it's "tuberous sclerosis," but tubular will get you to the right sites on google.

WV: Unwis: Oh that one is tempting. How would Unwisconsin cheese be in that chili? Is it unwis to have no Protestants on the Supreme Court?; ११/५/१०, ७:५३ PM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: @ As my whimsy leads me...Thanks for correcting my spelling. The tuberous sclerosis disease is suffered by the same number of persons as the Lou Gehrig's disease called ALS. Since numbers are too low for a profitable Big Pharma research program, all research is now privately sponsored along with a small grant from the Feds. The drugs that are now coming available have also helped autism patients. My son is quickly becoming the fund raiser for research funds for it. My three month old grandaughter has a mild case and is in Cincinnati for treatment today. We shall see what happens next. When my son says that he will fight for something, he seldom loses.He is heavily into politics at local and state levels with a wide circle of friends in both Texas and in Georgia.; ११/५/१०, ८:२१ PM
As my whimsy leads me.. म्हणाले...: Trad guy, sorry to hear about your little granddaughter, but hope she does well. I think all of the neuro diseases are neglected. Maybe except for Alzheimer's, but even there, with millions to benefit from research, there are only 4 drugs on the market, and 3 of them work the same way. Only 1 for ALS. Parkinson's and epilepsy have had some progress in the last several years, but there are still a lot of other conditions that are, like TS, mostly in the orphan drug neighborhood.

Beth म्हणाले...: I read that as "don't overLOOK the garlic" - and I agreed heartily.; ११/५/१०, ८:५८ PM
Beth म्हणाले...: trad guy, your little one is in my prayers.; ११/५/१०, ९:०२ PM
Meade म्हणाले...: Yes, tradguy, ours too.; ११/५/१०, ९:२१ PM

(None of the diseases within the broader net of them are easy things. For that reason, hope and faith, of whatever types, are SO important. But I'm especially filled with hope in the case of your granddaughter, since you mentioned she's showing mild symptoms in relationship to tuberous sclerosis in particular.

Though you may not feel it literally, please know I'm squeezing your hand in faith for the life your granddaughter can bring to the world.); ११/५/१०, ९:४९ PM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: Thank you all for your expressions of compassion. We all do need one another in this life. And thank you Meade for that beautiful Chili picture. That looks just like what a great change from a a salt free diet should taste like.; ११/५/१०, १०:५४ PM
BJM म्हणाले...: Looks very tasty Meade, but chili without pequins and pork just ain't chili at our ranchero.; १२/५/१०, १२:२९ AM
Unknown म्हणाले...: Oh the fun little things married folks say to each other. Must be interested, inquisitive, but deferential and nice. Feels like Althouse's "Must try harder" line, on her #3 ranking (again).

If I were taking her exam, I'd explain that further. But I'm not, so I don't have to. Take that, expectations!; १२/५/१०, १०:२९ AM
Steve म्हणाले...: I would have assumed Meade had better knife skills.

And Southwest Ohio Chili requires chocolate and cinnamon. And to be served over spaghetti with cheese. You know you and the Professor want a three way.*

* a three way is Cincinnati chili served over spaghetti with cheese.; १२/५/१०, ११:२१ AM
