It is Time For Chili!

Yup....It is November in Minnesota and all but the Oak leaves have fallen to the ground. The cooler temperatures signaled my body to beg for homemade chili.

I can't give you the exact recipe, but I can show you a few pictures.

It all starts with browning five pounds of lean ground beef.


After the hamburger is cooked, the "secret" spices get added. What I can tell you is that next we add six different kinds of beans, tomatoes and homemade tomato juice.


Before you know it, the finished product...The best chili around.


Before we could transfer the goods from the soup pot to the freezer containers, we stuffed ourselves with the body warming nourishment.

Looks like we will have plenty for the freezer and the cold winter days ahead.

Chili and Trim

Sunday, Sue spent a few hours in the kitchen whipping up another batch of her famous chili. With seven different kinds of beans, this is soup to die for.
When it was all said and done, she had made enough for 18 meals. Nothing better than coming home from work and having supper already prepared!


While the queen of soup was whipping up another culinary masterpiece, I was out in the workshop painting the chair rail trim for the main floor bath. I had already primed it, now it just needed it's customary two coats of paint.

All that we have left to do on the bathroom project is the floor trim and the chair rail trim above the beadboard. Once that is done, we will tackle two more bathrooms.

I do like this daylight savings time. As I write this, it is 7:15pm and it is still light outside. I may change my tune in the morning as I drive to work in the dark.

Tune in again real soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
