Good Food

I had cataract surgery on Tuesday and my son-in-law and daughter have been sending me over many kinds of great food. Last night he came with a big bowl of hot chili right off the stove and was that ever good for supper. Also have cookies, banana bread cupcakes, biscuits, garlic bread, spagetti in meat sauce, and a very good chicken dorito casserole. Also have a home made enchilada that I am going to have for lunch today. It is great not to have to cook. I don't cook anymore anyway, just microwave stuff. Nothing like homecooking.

Eagle Scout

We have an Eagle Scout in our church that is working on his project. He had a great soup fundraiser on Sunday and we all filled up on 2 kinds of chili. One was mild and one was very hot. I had the hot kind. Also had a very good chicken noodle. My husband tried both the mild chili and the chicken noodle. In addition, they had 3 flavors of cheesecake, crackers and lemonade, water and coffee. It was nice not to have to go home and make lunch for a change.

Chili and Cinnamon Rolls

How does that combination set with you? We are having sort of a contest at church on Sunday and 10 people are going to bring their favorite chili, enough to feed at least 20 people. Then 10 people are going to bring cinnamon rolls, enough to feed 10 people. Then they are going to have judges to judge whose chili is the best and whose cinnamon rolls are the best.

That combination of foods just doesn't go together as far as I am concerned. It sounds like one big upset stomach and heartburn when you put together chili spices and cinnamon. I would be interested to know if there are people out there who would like this combination of foods. I think I am going to have to pass on that menu. I love each separately, but not together.

Chili Soup

I made a fresh batch of good old chili last night. Then when we got home from town this noon, it was already to eat. There is nothing like a good bowl of chili. Get out the bread and butter and crackers and you are all set with lunch. I like it when things are quick and easy.

Hundreds Arrested At Chili Demonstration

More than 400 people have been arrested after police using tear gas and water cannon clashed with demonstrators in the Chilean capital, Santiago. The worst clashes occurred as marchers tried to approach the government palace, La Moneda. Among the 100 or so injured was a socialists senator. The day long protest was called by Chili's largest trade union federation against free market economic policies. But it was used by many to voice their opposition to the government. They marched in several cities around the country. Outside the capital they were mostly peaceful.
