Melancholy Masterpiece of the week: Chili of Despair



I won't wait until Monday to post this sad little number which was taken by me on my Palm Zire 71. As you can see I was having a rough time in Cincinnati (BAD CLIENT) and was seeking consolation in 2 Chili Cheese Dogs and a 5-Way. I'm at Camp Washington Chili, home of the best yankee chili you've ever tasted... It would immediately be spat out by a Texan. Texan's don't include ingredients like.... Cinnamon or Cocoa in their 5 Alarm Bowl of Beef. If you want the recipe, leave a comment and I'll post it.

Cincinnati Chili
Bring to boil:
4 Cups water
2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 large onions chopped
1 can tomato paste, 6oz
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. garlic, chopped or minced
3 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. Black pepper
1 tsp. Cayenne pepper
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Allspice
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 Tbsp. Cocoa
3 Bay leaves

Stir and boil until groud beef is cooked thoroughly. Lower heat. Cover and simmer for 3 or 4 HOURS, stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve over spaghetti. Top with kidney beans, chopped onions and LOTS of grated cheddar cheese.

There you have it... That's a 5-way, by the way. Chili, Spag, Onions, Beans, Cheese. You can remove the onions, beans or cheese as you prefer. Bon appetit!
