Title: A LOVELY SECOND DAY OF FILMING
Post by: bk on January 14, 2021, 12:52:11 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a lovely second day of filming, and now it is time for you to post until the second day of filming cows come home.

Post by: George on January 14, 2021, 01:07:35 AM: Topic of the Day: I've never made chili, other than to open a can and heat it up. My sister makes some pretty good vegan chili, but otherwise, I've only gotten it at restaurants on burgers or hot dogs, and that probably isn't the best kind of chili that there is.

Title: Re: A LOVELY SECOND DAY OF FILMING
Post by: elmore3003 on January 14, 2021, 03:49:51 AM: Temperatures are in the 40s this week, so it's too warm in the apartment and I am not sleeping well. I had several strange dreams, but the last one was quite peculiar.
Title: Re: A LOVELY SECOND DAY OF FILMING
Post by: elmore3003 on January 14, 2021, 03:55:00 AM: My mother's youngest brother Bob married right out of high school, around 1950. His wife, Allene Sullivan, told him she was pregnant, a lie, and he married her. From then on, until his divorce around 1963, she had an ongoing affair with one of the Lazarus brothers, who had several drycleaning businesses in Middletown. I remember Allene's mother fondly; she was a cook at Sherman School, where I went to kindergarten, and I used to see her when my class went to the cafeteria for a snack.
Title: Re: A LOVELY SECOND DAY OF FILMING
Post by: elmore3003 on January 14, 2021, 04:01:50 AM: So I dreamed we were giving Mrs Sullivan a birthday party, and I haven't thought about her for years. The party locations seemed to shift from my mother's sister Lois' farmhouse near Columbus, Ohio, to the Miami University campus in Oxford, Ohio. Then I was riding a bus with my cousins and several of my mother's sistersm all dressed in white, and we couldn't get the bus to make its stop in Oxford. When it did stop, we had to walk some distance to a house I did not recognize, My mother and her oldest sister Dorothy were there, my mother dressed in white and Dorothy in yellow. My mother was angry because it was a white party for Dorothy's birthday, and my aunt kept protesting that she owned no white clothing.
Title: Re: A LOVELY SECOND DAY OF FILMING
Post by: elmore3003 on January 14, 2021, 04:04:37 AM: Then my mother's sisters and sisters-in-law got into an argument about a white tablecloth. My Aunt Jenny, wife of my mother's brother Paul, wanted to use one of my cousin Tom's hospital gowns. He died from leukemia around 1995. Just before I woke, my mother wanted me to order a birthday cake from Middletown's Central Pastry.
Title: Re: A LOVELY SECOND DAY OF FILMING
Post by: elmore3003 on January 14, 2021, 04:06:12 AM: I also remember something of a dream about a trip and my brother Macbeth, but it's too vague.

Post by: elmore3003 on January 14, 2021, 04:10:38 AM: Back to work on Oh, Boy! today. These orchestrations from Australia around 1920 are not very good. They're thin, oddly balanced, but then an interesting accompaniment or orchestra touch suddenly surprises me.

Title: Re: A LOVELY SECOND DAY OF FILMING
Post by: ChasSmith on January 14, 2021, 07:00:46 AM: There are endless varieties of chili, and I have loved many that I've tried over the years, at chili contests and elsewhere.

The only type I've made at home is an outgrowth of how my mother made it when we were kids, with ground beef as the meat component, and including beans. For my taste, steak or ground beef is completely satisfying, so I've left other of our animal friends out of the equation. I add veggies and chili peppers and season it like crazy, though, so it probably isn't REALLY like what I grew up with. But the style and general consistency are the same.
Title: Re: A LOVELY SECOND DAY OF FILMING
Post by: ChasSmith on January 14, 2021, 07:07:14 AM: For hot dog style chili, you already know I use Hormel's without beans. When I was in the store last week picking up another couple of cans, I also decided to try another of theirs that's extra spicy and includes beans. I had checked out chili dogs on the web and found quite a few that include beans, and I like beans, so why not. I'll probably be getting around to that in the next few days.

Post by: Jrand73 on January 14, 2021, 07:58:33 AM: I liked my Mom's chili the best......so I just use her recipe when I make my own.

After reading DR TCB's suggestion of canned chili with NO BEANS for his chili dogs......I bought a can of said chili and will be making chili dogs probably Sunday or so.

Larry, you have to carry that heavy (when filled) shopping bag to haul your cat food to and from the basement? I came across these lightweight carts on Amazon and I think they're pretty cool:

Title: Re: A LOVELY SECOND DAY OF FILMING
Post by: John G. on January 14, 2021, 09:03:04 PM: I like lots of different chilis (except sweet). Texas chili has some fire and plenty of meat, no beans. I've had a vegetarian chili made with lentils that I liked. White chili with chicken in it can be very good. I love me some Cincinnati chili with its chocolate, coffee and a touch of heat (I add more).

I guess what I don't like is the texture of kidney beans. It's kinda like chewing on spackle or sandpaper, rough and unappealing. So, I don't mind pintos in some chilis, but I'm not going to seek them out first.

I like a sweet chili

Lots of brown sugar

I don't think I've ever had a sweet chili.

Which is probably why if you are about to become eligible there also isn't info.

But you qualify, since you are over 70. No offense

Strangely enough, one of the best bowls of chili I have ever eaten was in London, England. I know, I know. Very weird. Several of us were looking for a place to eat, and we came upon this cafe with a “Western” theme. Cowboys painted on the walls and corny movie western theme burgers and sandwiches.

Post by: TCB on January 14, 2021, 11:33:31 PM: Anyway, they had Western chili on the menu and it just sounded good. The waiter had probably never had anyone else order it, or was wondering why I was ordering American food.

Post by: TCB on January 14, 2021, 11:45:24 PM: My dear late friend, Jim, used to make a pretty good chili, but until I moved in, he always added hominy to the mix. That stopped right away.

Post by: TCB on January 14, 2021, 11:57:00 PM: But I love kidney beans. I always add them to salads at home, or on a salad bar (Gone Forever) and I always put them in my homemade chili.
