In the Mood
3:19 PM Edit This 12 Comments »
Here it is:
3 1/2 lb.s combination of kidney beans and ground turkey - you choose the amounts
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
2 c. beef broth
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
3 T. chili powder
1 1/2 t. dried oregano
1 t. ground cumin
1/4 - 1/2 t. cayenne pepper
1/2 t sugar
Brown turkey with onions and garlic, throw that and all the rest of the ingredients in a big pot, heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 1-2 hours. Or you can just put it all in the crock pot after browning the meat. I serve mine with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream (when I'm feeling naughty).
And that picture above? That's my coffee table when all was said and done. I'm working on a new collage. Multi-media sort of things which involve markers, clippings, beads, ribbon, the whole nine yards. The last one I made is now matted and framed in my living room. So I thought I'd try again. I love it when I get in that mood. Absolutely love it. The cooking, the cleaning, the art project? It was a fabulous day.
Oh, and Febreze apple cinnamon candles? They smell like fall. Swoon.

Totally not expecting this post's content!
I made chili also this weekend. Spooky.
And I think I'm going to take our junk drawer, dump it, glue it to a big poster board and call it art.
I expect a grant any day now, but will probably eventually miss the batteries and rubber bands.
Yay for you! I am so grateful you gave my motivation a good home. I enjoyed her visit, but I'm sooo glad she's gone. Exhausting, isn't she? As for fall? I wouldn't know since it's still 80 freaking degrees here in the day. Am so sick of sweaty boobs.
oooh I love me a collage. Looks like fun! Next time you come for a visit we can bust out the National Geos. :)
Oh dear. Febreze. Very bad.
*sigh* chili...
I want some chili. I guess it's time to dust off the crock pot.
I love collage! I have never done collage but I know someone who actually sold awesome collages for a lot of money. They were that good. I wish I did something artistic. I might just take up karaoke or kazoo or something.
Sounds like you're nesting. And/or getting ready for the hibernation known as winter. =)
pass along some of this motivation! pretty please?
also: i tagged you! because someone tagged me! see my blog for deets....
I made chili too. It's that October thing.
Smart girl to have happy smells to make the cleaning go sweeter. I made chili and worked at regular work which was not nearly so much fun at the end...you got a prize, like cracker Jack...a clean house! Come to mine next please....
That sounds like the most glorious day ever.
Now I have to have chili.
Mmmm... chili. Meaty meatalicious chili *salivating*
