I like chili with beans.  I also like chili without beans.  I like pretty much any kind of chili you got.

I have this book called Chili Nation which has a chili recipe for every state, plus DC.  I have made every recipe out of it save one (that would be Arkansas, which requires that you make tamales first.  One day it'll happen). 

If you look at Amazon's "Look inside" for this, you can actually skeeze the recipe for Alabama's chili, which is regular ol' meat 'n' beans chili like your mom used to make (if you're not from Texas, New Mexico, or Ohio), and is quite the staple at our house.  The Arizona one is really good too.

Q, just to clarify and make your vision that much better: it was each other's feet. And they spent a lot more time on the feet than the beans.

I knew I should've clarified that sentence, or provided a story.  Now *I'm* grossed out.

[sunnystar]

I am also grossed out! GOSH GUYS! THAT'S MY BF AND HIS MOM! EWWW!

In other news....
Beans are delicious. A bean dip that I love to make (but Alex is not such a fan of) is a mexican dip where you take a pan (glass is good) and then put refried beans on the bottom and then you could put your black beans on top of that and then layer like tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, onions, whatever you want really, and sprinkle cheese on top and then cook it in a lower temp in the oven until it's all warm. Sometimes I add spiced up ground beef or cream cheese as layers. And having sour cream or guacamole for after the oven cooking is good too. It is a delicious dip for tortilla chips. And you can basically make it however you want, which is an added bonus.

Mmmm....now I'm hungry....

We're having a lot of trouble answering Smells' request that the recipes be meatless, you wild and crazy carnivores.  Actually I am a bean hater too.  The only bean things I really like are Indian or Ethiopian split pea or lentil dishes.  If I had to eat more meatless beans I would look for recipes for those.  No, I'm lying actually, what I'd do is get those things as take-out.  But they are not that hard to make.

This is an extremely dorky thing to admit, but I somehow managed to develop a psychosomatic (but extremely long-lived and potent) allergy to beans way back in Girl Scout camp. The taste, and that grainy, slimy texture... oh God. That said, I wholeheartedly support beans being eaten by people who aren't me and ideally are nowhere near me -- I like to think it's my way of giving everyone else in the world a few extra beans that I, in my lifetime, won't eat.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that people should post recipes that side_show can actually eat!

[misterqueue]

Smells, how do you feel about a bean/rice mixture?  Would this be accessible?  If so I may have just the thing...

Hey! Mine didn't have meat! You could add it, like I mentioned, but you don't have too! I made it with vegetarian refried beans even (ya know, without the animal fat processed in) and it was even more delicious! I'm not a big meat person myself...at least not a big red meat person.

Q, I like beans and rice recipes! Mmmm...

I've disapointed you by not taking a picture of the beans and sausage I made...

It is slightly true, but you made up for it with the peppers and sausage picture. That looked DELICIOUS! I gave you a TCoDP for that!

I'm not a big meat person myself...

Clearly, given your choice of boyfriend.




OOOOOOH BURNT

[acoxcae]

Golfhaus, it....it hurts when you say that.

I can't believe I got BURNED in the third degree by a messageboard.

[Golfhaus]

If it helps any, I was more amused with myself for pulling "OOOOH BURNT" out of my fourth-grade class in 1987 than by insulting your actual, personal hose.

Actually, yes, it does - see, I always associate "OOOOOH BURNT" with the exact same tone of voice and delivery, probably you do too - except that because of your avatar, I pictured that tone and delivery coming from Mr. Bear, and it was hilarious.

to me, anyway

Mr. Bear would be utterly confounded by it.

"What is this exclamation you kids are making these days, talking about lighting aflame your fellow man? You are in Trouble, young people!"

Oh man, touchy subject...I don't think I should discuss my bf's "big meat" on a message board. But he surely didn't deserve to be insulted for it. I'll say that much!
