Pot Au Feu

 I just made a pot of chili using 1 pound kidney beans I cooked ahead, and 2 large cans of crushed tomatoes, the whole bunch of celery chopped, 3 big white onions chopped, fresh garlic chopped, dried oregano, basil, parsley, a splash of Chianti jug red wine, olive oil, Adobo, salt, dried red chili flakes, a pound of hamburg. (We treat meat as a spice!)

I freeze quarts for those lazy days.

When I worked at Leo's we'd add cumin and unsweetened cocoa powder and dried chili powder too.

I always need a place to land especially when I'm hungry.
