This Friday night chili had to be good. Walking up the sidewalk after a long work week, I could smell the chili already in process. Geoff had almost finished by the time I came home to crack a beer and sit down to enjoy. Since I will be doing a bit of backtracking to explain this project, I must explain that every Friday we not only try a new recipe but also try a new beer to go with it. Brooklyn Lager was perfect.
Our expectations for this chili weren't particularly high. After all, chili made with ground beef and served over mac and cheese? But it earned a 3.0 out of 4. The major complaint was that the barbeque sauce made it too sweet. Of course, our sweet lover Ted thought that was what made it good. Which brings us to the problem with rating by only 3 people. We have the spicy lovers, the sweet lovers, etc. We still come up with a final score, but explain in our notes who rated it how and why.
Geoff will be gone on a vacation this week. It will be our first Friday night in 29 weeks without chili. But that will give me some time to catch you up on what has already happened (won't bore you with too many details!).
