It’s cold out, I’ve got some sort of UK-ian cold / sinus infection, and I’m wanting to eat at home as much as possible while on vacation. While at Meijer and picking up milk I decided to make up a pot of chili sin carne using my standard method, except with dried beans. Normally I use canned beans, but dried are cheaper and better tasting. Hopefully I’ll be using these 1.5 pounds (dried) of beans along with a clove of garlic, large sweet onion, container of Garden Fresh Salsa, a bag of Morningstar Farms beefy TVP stuff, failed-to-carbonate home-made Rochefort 10 Clone, Trader Joe’s Fire Roasted Corn, and random other things to make something which is hopefully tasty and sustaining.
It will likely be eaten one of two ways:
· Over rice cooked in an Indian style, as demonstrated here by the wonderful Manjula on her YouTube channel.
· With Garden Fresh Tortilla Chips and smothered in sharp cheddar.
