I don’t normally get so excited about my own cooking (ok, except for the tenderloin, but I digress), but this chili was SO good I have to share.
I found the recipe on this random Texas Chili site, but made a [...]

Over the summer, I experienced an unpleasant crossover between my online and off-line lives. I feel like it is now appropriate to share my experience in the hopes that others might benefit from some extra knowledge.
I must preface this information with the acknowledgment that I do feel like I am somewhat more careful about my [...]
