beansideIt's Saturday! I've gotta work today, but it's that good, good overtime. I'm a wee bit sleepy this morning, but some coffee will help. I'm going to work for 5 hours, then go up to Sams and get my order. Then, it's back home to break up the meat and put it away, and then I have a game at 2 that I'm playing in. After that, dinner.
The chili yesterday came out really well. I did what I said I was going to do and chopped up onions and beef and sauteed the onions and garlic, seasoned the crap out of them, then added the beef. Sautéed that for a few minute and added the beans and tomato sauce. Then, more seasoning. I used Old El Paso taco seasoning, plus some extra cumin and chipotle seasoning, which I really think it what made it. It gave it a slightly spicy kick, and a smoky flavor that I know didn't come from the Old El Paso. It simmered for two hours, then I turned it off. I was not mad about it, as Jess says. It wasn't terribly spicy on first bite, but there was definitely a cumulative burn. WE had it with rice and cheese and sour cream, which was really good. I'll definitely make it again.
Today, no clue what I'm making. I have some pork out, so it'll probably be that, though if the game is cancelled, I may do curried chickpeas. They're going to take a bit of prep, which I probably won't have time for, since the game is at 2. If not, I'll do them on Monday and just use my lunch break to chop onions. I suppose I could do it this morning, though, and just add the chick peas when I pick them up at 12:30pm.
Tomorrow, we don't have anything, so I'm just going to take it easy and make the collard greens the way they're supposed to be made.
I'm also going to be making waffles with our new tiny waffle maker. It makes a single waffle at a time. Of course, we have no syrup, so maybe not. Honestly, I may go pawn some jewelry so that I can get a couple more things. The dog needs his Fluoxetine, and we could use some sides. If I could get like $50, that would be a huge help. I will think on it.
For now, I'm going to go forth and maybe chop an onion...after I drink my coffee. I'm not quite up to knifework right this second. Everyone have an super Saturday!!
