My dish of the day is Chili
– specifically, Chili cheese fries!
Other than buying frozen store-bought French fries, the meal was completely
homemade. Patrick and I even taught ourselves how to stew tomatoes using
wonderful Google, blanching the tomatoes, skinning them, chopping them and
stewing them with butter, sugar, a touch of salt and a few of our own additions
(bay leaves, basil and oregano as well as some Worcestershire sauce and a whole
can of beer!) We sautéed the onions and garlic and browned the beef, then added
it all to the tomatoes, along with kidney beans, white beans and green pepper. Some chili powder, tabasco and ground pepper
and… presto! Finally, to serve, we topped it with some grated old cheddar from
Anam Gourmet Market and piled it on top of crispy fries. Delicious indeed. In
fact, writing this is making me crave some more…
