Another Chilly Day Today!


Saturday, January 9, 2010

It's almost time for...

BUDDAH'S CHAMPIONSHIP BUFFALO MOLE CHILI!

1 box (9.5 oz) premade liquid Mole
2lbs ground bison
8 oz tomato sauce x 6
1.25 oz pack MILD chili seasoning
1.25 oz pack HOT chili seasoning
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp oregano
2.5 tsp chopped cipotle peppers
1 onion
1 tomato
6 heaping tsp masa

Fry the bison meat, drain and chop medium fine. In a stewpot, add the 6 cans of tomato sauce and 6 cans of water.
Add all the dry ingredients. Chop one onion rough, then fine in food processor; add to pot. Chop one tomato
medium, add to pot. Stir and cover, simmer on LOW for two hours.

Eleven Degrees Overnight!

It was waaay cold overnight, 11 degrees. Ran all the faucets and pool motor (which has been on for three days so far.)
Slept late today. Got up at 11, and found the cold water faucets in the bathroom to be frozen. All other faucets, and the crapper, worked fine. Lord. Eventually they thawed, nothing broken.
Disaster averted.
"Brunch" at Mercado Juarez today, trying to Not Worry. Then stood in line at Time Warner to get a cable remote that works. Then downtown Tokyo conditions at Wal-Mart. Didn't have to get much, since my "Spa Time" is impending.
Tried to make a fire in the fireplace with the new $12 firewood from Krogers. It proved to be fireproof, too, just like the wood from Tom Thumb. What's the deal with all this fireproof firewood?
