The hamburger, onions, garlic and herbs cooking... (I use basil, oregano, parsley.. all fresh, of course.)
Some fresh-picked, homegrown tomatoes...
Now all blended up, for use in the chilli. :) I only used some of the tomato sauce.

It was good. :) This wasn't how my chilli usually turned out, but that's cause I used more of the garlic-chilli powder I usually use, and less of the normal kind. And I don't usually add so much tomato sauce or herbs. The extra herbs definitely gave it a slightly different flavor. And I don't usually use lima beans, which I had to this time cause I didn't have canned kidney beans, and I only had dry lima and pinto beans. So. But I never feel constrained to follow a recipe (specially if it's mine!!) exactly the same each time! :P My chilli usually doesn't change much, except in heat, though.
And it was GOOD. For those of you ( southerners ) who think cheesy grits and chilli is weird, let me tell you how good it is, specially when my sister makes it! Don't judge anything till you've tried it. Ok? :P Note: the herbs are from my herb garden. I love my herb garden! And I think Yo loves it too. :) Great job, Yoyo.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Voice your dissent if you think ill of it (specifically, Zach? XD) I want to see how many of thee are prejudiced against it. :P
ReplyDeleteYep, love the herbs. :) Want my own herb garden.
Looks good. Warning to future spouse: you may become fat with such fine cooking. Personal note: Where are the desserts and sweets?
ReplyDeleteWell. I have some pictures of sweets here... -.- And I totally wouldn't allow my future spouse to get fat. I'd make him run or excersize or something. :P

ReplyDeleteWow, I feel quite without any right to say that we eat grits! I've /never/ had anything like that! No thanks to the shrimp(I don't like shrimp :P) but everything else sounds quite worth a try! You definitely need to make em for me when I come next.
