Chili Weather

BBBbbbBBBBbRRRRrrr..it's rather cool in this area the last couple of days..so, I thought I'd make a pot of chili..if you don't make chili and pour it out of a can, alls I can say to you is : Shame on YOU...this is some good stuff:

Don't let the name fool you..you can season it as hot or as not as you like..sometimes, I add the red pepper, sometimes I just wave the package over the pot and tell hub I did add it...This makes a nice sized pot and will feed us a few meals.. enchiladas, chili buns, Frito pie,(Frito pie can be a whole entry..football games and funny stories about out of state neighbors not knowing about it), abigoldbowl of red topped with cheese and sour cream,chopped onions or even chili fries..you can bet we are having a couple of these in the next few days..So, if you hunny is feeling frigid, run to the store for Wick Flower's chili kit and some ground meat and whip out a big pot and get busy, you'll warm him up in no time...

We've used this for years, I grew up on this 2 alarm..my dad used to make up a pot of it on cold Saturdays..One time back in the late 80's I wrote them a letter about how much we've used this and such..they sent me back a nice thank you letter and a TON of coupons..needless to say we didn't have to buy any kits for quite awhile..I'm tellin' ya, this is some good stuff...

Now back to decorating the Shop Shack..

Happy Tuesday!

I should be cookin'

That's what I've been working on..Thanksgiving meal, so things aren't so rushed and hurried on the 'big' day..doing things everyday to make it all go easier..

When I went to the big black mail box, my Frozen Charlotte were there..and then I started playing around in the studio:


one thing leads to another and then before you know it, you've piddled away 30 minutes...and your not doing what needs to be done..that's the life of the creative.






I forgot to show you what all I got from my partner in the Vintage Ephemera swap on Flickr:

Julie was so good to me..I feel like I shorted her on what I sent..Thanks again Julie!

Ya'll have a good week and Happy Thanksgiving!
