This afternoon as I lay on my bed, sweat-soaked and green-toed from mowing my lawn, I decided that for dinner I would make chili. And as I rummaged through my cabinets I realized that this meal would be the product of many sources...
Black Beans: I was gifted with a huge can of black beans at a White Elephant party I attended in Brookline, MA a few months ago.
Canned Tomato Paste and Whole Tomatoes: After one of his overly zealous Sam's Club trips, my dad thrust these at me.
Chili Powder: I don't remember if it was my birthday or if he was just feeling especially zesty and generous that day, but Adam gave me a big box of shmancy Penzey's spices last year.
Jalapenos: My botched blood donation yesterday may have resulted in a giant hickey on my inner arm, but I also got a $15 Walmart giftcard out of the deal... and I treated myself to some peppers today.
Fresh Tomatoes: Whatever my little groundhog buddy left me in the garden... he's seriously too cute to get mad at.
Onion, Greek Yogurt, and Blue Corn Chips: Some snazzy extras from the grocery store.

$15?! They must have had a line out the door... or was that a pay off for your terrible treatment? ;)
ReplyDeleteNo rodent is too cute...
Brookline, MA, huh? You were in my old neck of the woods. We still go there to get our fill of burritos at the tacqueria. Well, we did until I just got back on WW.
