It's getting colder, and I'm feeling it more.
Chili, in fact!
This time, I added a whole bag of frozen green beans to the mix.
I am now also leaning towards a dryer chili mix, so I made up some rice (the long cooking stuff, not minute rice) and mixed it in to soak up the liquid.
I have two pounds of beef cubes and will work on a crock pot recipe for that soon.
My son is using my big freezer for his deer meat, so I have to be careful and not buy too much to freeze. That means I have to get rid of stuff already there so I can get more stuff.
I was looking at a small freezer unit, but haven't decided if I want to spend the money yet.
Most of my non chili meals are with chicken, or fish, and I look forward to once a day of eating my chili. I love the stuff.
The cooler weather is nice for me. I have lots of long johns, similar shirts, gloves, a buff, and even a mad bomber hat made with rabbit fur. It has to be pretty cold for me to not want to take a walk.
My E heat panels keep the house toasty, and supplement the gas forced air furnace. I bought cases of distilled water for a dragon humidifier to keep the house moist all winter too.
My house is sealed up nicely, however, it is all brick, and it doesn't get the sun in winter as much as I'd like.
My basement is cold too, and that's where I have the total gym, treadmill, and free weights. I may set up some space heaters so I can feel like I'm walking down the beach instead of cooped up inside a dungeon!
So, chilly, or Chili, I'll take them both.
