[deleted] 14
- Frijoles negros, baybee! -- nm - Trish Nov 3, 14:37
- You put meat in chili? -- nm - the liioulu with pods Nov 3, 14:32
- My stock response for these is, "whatever Tim Hortons puts in their chili? That's good stuff." -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 14:31 4
  - Yep - the tastiest ingredient of all? Low expectations -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 14:34 3
    - I don't care what else is in the chili, but it has to have mushrooms. -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 14:34 2
      - that's too...frenchy, next you'll say scallions instead of onions -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 14:40
      - *opens new front on the war map* -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 14:37
- I knew we'd agree on *something* today. I'd never have guessed it would be this. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:29
- Why would I want that mush in there? I might as well throw in peas and tofu. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 14:29 1
  - [deleted]
- Well, that settles it..."No Beans" wins the day -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:29

  - [deleted] 1
    - *looks down at card in hands* - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:36
Three of the last five calls I've received are from voters in states other than Oregon. - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:27 7
- "Virginia ranks seventh in calls to voter help lines, according to Election Protection." -- nm - npr Nov 3, 14:35
- There is one in Utah. The California one was too busy, and the guy in Wisconsin was still hungover from the GB tailgate. - the liioulu with pods Nov 3, 14:32 1
  - Uhm... there isn't one in Utah... -- nm - the liioulu with pods Nov 3, 14:37

  - I think one of 'em might have been Mel trying to impersonate a Mormon. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:29
Another fun ingredient for my chili recipe: Instead of cubed beef use 2 pounds of ground buffalo. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:26 1
- *Now* you're talking some sense. ;^) -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:34
ground up tortilla chips are also a good thickener for chili [or frito's or most any other chip] -- nm - peglegpete Nov 3, 14:20 9
- Rather have them on the side and just make the chili thick naturally. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:22
- If you like salt. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 14:22 7
  - If only then made reduced sodium chips for those concerned with their salt intake... - Cuzzin Todd Nov 3, 14:33

  - Sure, we all do. -- nm - Sally Struthers Nov 3, 14:24
  - yup. the downside is it adds a lot of salt -- nm - peglegpete Nov 3, 14:23 3
    - lookin' to add a stroke to your list? -- nm - zork Nov 3, 14:24 2
      - Alton Brown mentioned the chip addition on one of his shows -- nm - peglegpete Nov 3, 14:27 1
        
        he probably makes sure that there isn't any added from other sources -- nm - zork Nov 3, 14:29
The actual article didn't come through. She ain't the most tech savvy angel in the choir ... evidenced by use of a FAX machine in the 1st place :-) - rollo Nov 3, 14:19 3
- "Flipping gays"? - Trish Nov 3, 14:27 2
  - Isn't that sorta how those faith healers cure people of what ever ails them? softly but firmly whacks them in the head with enough force to topple you - zeitgeist Nov 3, 14:37
  - Nah ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:33
I'm sorry, but nothing is better than Moonstruck Chili Variado chocolate bar.. (linky) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:17 2
- I think a Merkley victory would be better -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 14:19 1

For all you "no beans in chili" people, just what exactly do you put in it so that it isn't glorified soup? -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:16 56
- Ragu -- nm - Will SI Nov 3, 14:24 3
  - I just threw up in my mouth a little. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:25 2
    - Dmmit. I was gonna type "I just threw up in my mouth a lot" but it would seem copycatish now. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:27 1
      - You could always go for.... - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:32
- I'm a chili heathen. I don't like chunks of pepper in it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 14:21 5
  - *shrugs* Suit yourself. *picks peppers out of loosi's chili, adds them to mine* -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:31
  - could be worse, Mrs. CCC mixes sour cream into hers...enough to turn it pink -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:28 2
    - Of COURSE you top it with sour cream and grated cheddar cheese. Duh. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:31 1
      - garnish, maybe...to dip your tostados into, but not 1 part sour cream to 2 parts chili -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:33
  - *nods* -- nm - zork Nov 3, 14:25
- Chili must have beans! Meat is optional. -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 14:20 19
  - [deleted] 1
    - You've been in NY too long. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:36
  - Meat is NEVER "optional." - Cuzzin Todd Nov 3, 14:25
  - I also like a small percentage of beans in my chili. - peglegpete Nov 3, 14:23
  - Eggs-ACTLY! The more beans the better! And use refried beans as a thickener, not corn-starch. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:22
  - yeah. I love vegetarian chili. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 14:22 1
    - It's like calling something a "meat salad"...it's not natural -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:24
  - by definition chili is a meat dish -- nm - zork Nov 3, 14:22 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - i was born in texas -- nm - zork Nov 3, 14:36
  - That's silly. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:21
  - S.D.T.M. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:21
  - When did you achieve musibi-levil wrongness on chili eating? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:21 6
    - Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't get me involved in this. The cumin was a *joke*. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 14:28 1
      - you flew too close to the sun, Icarus. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 14:32
    - If there's chili con carne, then logically meat isn't a necessary ingredient. - Roger More Nov 3, 14:22 3
      - That's just to keep from confusing it with chili con queso. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:24
      - that came from people pinching pennies some decades back to make the meat optional and fill it out with beans -- nm - zork Nov 3, 14:23 1
        
        to me, the only essential ingredient in chili is chili - Roger More Nov 3, 14:39
- it's like a flashback to 9 years ago. I'm just gonna go sit in the corner and rock back and forth cradling my knees. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 14:19 6
  - would you like to discuss the Ryder cup? (nm) - Callisto Nov 3, 14:23
  - snicker...nm - x Nov 3, 14:22
  - The bitch of it is that I don't even like chili. -- nm - David Nov 3, 14:21 2
    - You have to give credit where credit is due: It is an AMAZINGLY polarizing issue --nm - rollo Nov 3, 14:24 1
      - For me, it's like a credit card commercial. "What's in your goop?" -- nm - David Nov 3, 14:25
  - *swipes wall sconce back and forth* -- nm - Reagen's knees Nov 3, 14:20
- Steak, rib meat, peppers, onions, really thick tomato sauce, and a variety of seasonings. - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:18 4
  - Ah. There's the problem. Over reliance on tomato based products. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:19 3
    - In my chili, tomato-based products make up about 20% of the volume. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:20 2
      - Which is about 15% too much. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:24 1
        
        Says you! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:28
- I like it both ways, but usually if no beans than it has a lot more beef (ground usuallly). -- nm - Don Homet Nov 3, 14:18 1
  - I'd perfer beans and cubed steak, to no beans and ground beef...if it's ground beef, you have sloppy joes. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:19
- soup has to be liquid 50% or more by volume. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 14:18
- What part of "beans" makes something not-soup??? -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:17 10
  - Chili, to me, needs to be thick. Without beans, I don't see how you get it to thicken up. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:18 9
    - "This is Texas style. It's just beef and grease. If you ask for it 'wet' we just add more grease." -- nm - Hard Times Cafe Nov 3, 14:21
    - use less liquid -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 14:19 7
      - So, it's like eating a can of condensed tomato soup? - TWuG Nov 3, 14:21 3
        
        More like a stew. There are plenty of recipes that involve putting meat in liquid and boiling it down - Roger More Nov 3, 14:24 1
        
        i made a goat daube a couple months ago, it came out great...nm - x Nov 3, 14:25
        
        no, it's heavy on the meat. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 14:22
      - And tomato chunks...I'm not picky...beans, no beans, both are good...just don't leave out the meat and call it "chili" - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:20
      - Word. Or cook it down. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:20 1
        
        or use a thickener like flour, masa flour or cornstarch -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 14:21
SITWAP: We're gonna need a bigger microscope: Twinkies to be packaged in 100-calorie size. -- (link) - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:16 1
- twinkies haven't been the same since they took the lard out of the filling.... - x Nov 3, 14:18
LIR con_carne: Done. - TaurusII Nov 3, 14:14

  - This one is my fave: "Looking for a super hot chick to be my date to the Obama event. I have no problem pulling hot girls in general so since I have - crash davis Nov 3, 14:23
- I find the idea that she is "the future of the GOP" to be a wonderfully comforting thought for democrats -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:16 9
  - As much as I taunt the Republican party, there is no chance they let that happen. She's just a toy right now. -- nm - David Nov 3, 14:22
  - yes and no - crazy things could happen and she could win. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 14:17 7
    - i think if you're trying to divine the landscape four years out, you may just as well read the entrails of animals....nm - x Nov 3, 14:27
    - Agreed. If Nixon can win in '72, Palin can win in '12. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:24 3
      - Well, she DOES already have ONE plumber working for her...and Joe is sounding a lot like Liddy -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:26
      - it's like giving the nuclear codes to a monkey. It's unlikely he'd ever get them to work, but if he does... -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 14:26 1
        
        I think she'd be too busy trying to type Hamlet -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:31
    - I don't think they'd ever nominate her - Stewie Nov 3, 14:23 1
      - She's Huckabee without the resume, brains or charm. -- nm - David Nov 3, 14:24
Crap. Just saw the news about Obamas grandmother. What lousy timing. -- nm - Don Homet Nov 3, 14:13 5
- At least he just had some time to be there -- nm - Stewie Nov 3, 14:15 2
  - *nods* -- nm - Don Homet Nov 3, 14:16
  - "Give 'em hell, Barry!" -- nm - Grama 'Bama Nov 3, 14:15
- omg. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 14:15 1

- RC Sports Network reports that Brady Quinn is still dreamy. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:15 2
  - He is not a friend to The Gays according to The Gays in Ohio. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 14:18 1
    - Oh, we don't want him on our team. We're happy to admire from afar. Besides ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:22
