I told the local Taco Bell manager I was moving a couple counties away and his reply was, “damn dude, I got kids in college!”

the person taking the order often punches the rest in as soon as I order the first items.

1 lb ground beef, browned
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can plain tomato sauce
1 pkg onion soup mix
Chili powder to taste (1 use 2 tbsp)
Stir all together and simmer at least an hour. I usually do this in the crock pot, low all day or high 4 hrs.

This recipe for Smoky Beef and Bacon Chili became my quick-chili standard after I found it in Sunset Magazine a long time ago now. More ingredients than Freddie's but they're all in my pantry for throwing together a quick pot. The smoked paprika is a must.

It's a fudge of a really good pumpkin bread. I change the 3C flour to flax meal, almond and hazelnut flour and some rice flour. I change the 3c sugar to half as much sucralose. I use a cup of olive oil, a large can of pumpkin, 2t baking soda and 1.5 t salt. the usual spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, little bit of ground cloves. 3 eggs. a 1/2t guar gum adds some glue. But mix that into the dry stuff well, first. Add more rice flour if it's too wet. Bake 350 a long time, like in a loaf, at least an hour. You'll have to break one out and test when it gets really crunchy and dark. I broke some walnuts on top...

one up and add it as well. I have some snacks to graze on, such as smoked salmon spread, pimiento cheese, chevre from a local farm, and local fall apples if the evening is long. I will be drinking diet coke and muscadine cider. If there is a lull in the reporting, I have some beautiful fresh beets with their greens intact and I may make another soup out of them to eat for the rest of the week.
