I spent yesterday deep in turmoil and debate as to whether this Friday’s post should be entitled “Fail Friday” in tribute to all the stupid shenanigans I’ve seen people pull this past week, or if my love of yumyums would win out and I’d be leaning towards “Foodie Friday.” I guess the food won, but I’ll indulge you with my top three fails of the week anyhow. 1) Not only allowing your child to dangerously run up the down escalator like a hooligan in a busy, public place, but stretching it just one inch further toward the Idiot of the Year award and doing it yourself. 2) 40-year-old women taking ridiculous, flashy and embarrassing pictures of themselves in public and loudly proclaiming how excited they are to post them on Facebook. Please remember that you are no longer a misguided youth and those foolish and desperate pleas for attention should have ceased by the age 25. And take a moment to re-evaluate your enlarged ego as well. 3) Paying for $15 worth of purchases with a $100 bill is obnoxious. Cut it out. All of you.
Onto Foodie Friday!
I’ve been hankering for a bit of home lately so today I’m making my Texas chili recipe! It’s chock full of red, yellow and green peppers, onion, a generous helping of fresh garlic, lean ground beef, kidney beans, chili beans, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and hot sauce. Served up with freshly baked cornbread, and topped with cheese and cilantro, it’s perfect for pretty much any occasion. And the smell that fills our home as it simmers in the crockpot all day isn’t too bad either ;-)
Also, I may or may not be slightly addicted to the Goldfish Cinnamon grahams. They’re just like cinnamon Teddy Grahams….only they’re goldfish, which makes them much more desirable. They’re tasty and everyone should go pick up a bag right now….or send us some.
If I weren’t so lazy (or rather, if I didn’t have 7,000 other things to do, making this a super not important priority), I’d love to make some brownies oozing with caramel for dessert tonight. Mmmm….
That’s really all I have for you today. Hope you have a relaxing Friday and a fun weekend ahead of you to look forward to!
