Saturday

Saturday is a two for day for me because I make breakfast and dinner and this Saturday I did both before I went to work. Breakfast was a simple staple and never any complaints, maple sausage, fried egg, and sharp cheddar on toasted sour dough. The three of them, one of the boys friends came over, all poured syrup on their sandwich and had the choice of bananas or grapes on the side because I was out of strawberries and all three chose grapes. I'm not sure why I think that is weird but I do. Dinner tonight is going to be assembled in a crock pot because I do not get off work until 9pm and I have decided on chili because it is also a no complaints meal unless I make it with turkey and have to hide the package because one of my offspring swears he 'can tell' the difference. I usually make cornbread to serve with the chili but I ran out of time and I just happen to have two baguettes on hand so they will make do. I found this recipe for chili a few years ago, made some adjustments, and I think it's possible that I could place at a cook-off. I always double the recipe because the guest list tends to increase on chili night. I would estimate I made 15-20 servings of chili and I should have had some to freeze for another day. When I got home the chili was almost gone and there was a nub of a baguette left on the counter. That kind of damage would take six to eight teenage boys. Again I am happy, mission accomplished.
