Because I care, and it's been a while since I posted.

So, obviously this isn't a shot of the San Diego coast or a photo of the Gasslamp area, althought it could possibly be a photo taken in Tijuana, but it ain't. I just thought that since I'm taking my good sweet time uploading my photo from last weekend's BIRTHDAY FIESTA, I'd do a quick post that would be both witty and timely. Since it's almost Super Bowl Sunday, here's a little story about chili.

I made up this completely vegan chili recipe out of no where, just made it up in my head and the Roommate, who will pretty much eat anything I cook, ordained it the best chili ever. Yeah, I out did myself. So now I'm stuck writing the recipe down and following it to the letter because I usually action cook* and throw in whatever suits my mood. But on this occasion the Roommate insists I make it the exact same way always, by my own recipe including the cornbread.

Now although I'm an awesome cook, I don't have the patience to bake---too many rules and if you action bake* you will come up with flat pastries and runny cookies---and no one likes that. So while we were at Trader Joe's one day I decided to pick up a box of cornbread mix----only a fat dumb bitch was standing right in front of them blocking my view, so I was forced to snort loudly, reach around her girth, give her stink eye and grab a box off the shelf. Went home, made chili and cornbread and the Roommate LOVED the corn bread, and doesn't it have a slight lemon flavor? And sooooo yummy! The cornbread was so good with the chili that the next time I made chili, I made a special trip to Trader Joe's to get the exact same brand of cornbread. Only problem is that there was NOT a fat bitch standing in front of the cornbread mix, so this time I did notice that it was not in fact cornbread mix, but actually lemon CAKE mix. Yep, cake, it's what's for dinner.

Anywho, now every time I make chili the Roommate insists that I make that same cornbread and I promptly remind him that it was not in fact cornbread, but lemon CAKE, and CAKE is desert, not dinner. Although it was awful good.

So tonight when I made chili I picked up a box of Krusteaz Honey Cornbread and Muffin Mix (ask for it by name) and added the juice of one lemon. Well, it's tasty, not CAKE, and it could actually use the juice of a second lemon, and probably a little more honey. But at least it is not CAKE. And that's what's for dinner.
