Disco likes beans in her chili, so we make a separate pot of beans, because I do not put beans in my chili. Nor do I use ground beef. I use stew beef. Growing up, I hated chili because my mom always used ground beef and kidney beans. I hated it. My grandfather is from San Antonio and told me about how they had chili when he was a kid. So, I ran with his concept. Now, I love chili. But only that way. Whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand. Why not just buy crushed? Because whole peeled tastes better in my opinion. Stew beef, onions, garlic, peppers, spices. Topped with sour cream, chives and cheese.

Gotcha. Brain fart here. Same. We eat it whenever we are in the mood. No matter what season.

The hell you shredding for chili?

What? You don't like chili? Mofo, you ain't never had my chili. I'm going to enter mine in a chili cook-off.

I feel like I need to pull out my Crayons for him at this point. ToMaTo GrAvY.

It's called tomato gravy.

Because I'm a miserable fuck who prays for the world to end every single day.

It's not, but I've had what you're talking about too, and I like it as well.

No. Tomato gravy is a southern staple. You fry up some bacon and onions, then use the grease to make a roux with flour and a little chicken stock. Then add a can of diced tomatoes. Add sugar, salt, pepper, basil, and add chopped bacon to it. Let it simmer. Pour over biscuits.

Tomato gravy is pretty damn good.

I've been up north a few times. Nothing really great to say about it. Had a cooler stolen out the back on my truck in Michigan. That's about the only memory I have.

Macaroni and cheese > biscuits and gravy.

I am from the deep south. About as deep as you can go. I do not like the white sausage gravy at all. I will eat biscuits with brown gravy. Sometimes I will brown some hamburger meat and onions and make brown gravy and put in it, then pour that over biscuits. Biscuits and syrup is also acceptable. Most places do serve the biscuits with white sausage gravy here though. But it's safe from me.

Nobody's looking at your ears with those shoes on.

I always wear my hair back. But when I get out the shower or get up in the mornings, I don't have it on my wrist. I brush it back and put all but my pinky finger in the ponytail holder and pull it back. Usually two to three twists.

Never once saw you in flip flops when you were down here.

Like wearing jeans with flip flops.

As much of a pain in the ass as it would be, you could always put a little piece of duct tape on them.

It's sad so many people don't take the time to learn these things.

Yes.

I've got the snot disease something bad tonight. Damn season change has me all jacked up.

Someone ban Pat.

I'm glad I live in an area that's not known for forest fires.

It's actually cool in Georgia today. And rainy. Supposed to be in the 70's and 80's all week. Which is basically freezing here.
