Has anyone else been amazed at their food? I mean I'm not bragging (guess i am) but I swear it taste like the best thing I've eaten.....and it's not done, still gonna let it go another hour (I like to be sure with chili, make sure it blends).

Kidney beans, onion, garlic, red pepper, hanabero pepper, salt, pepper, stir fry beef (just a steak cut into slivers), ground beef, sugar, tomato sauce, tabasco sauce, worchestershire sauce, cumin, oregano, chili powder. I have no precise measurement, as I have been making it for so long...but it is too much to stand.....lol...I keep eating it out of the pot...lol.....I cook all the meat first, and add to the pot to soften the veggies, then I add the spices so that the bloom, then I add the sauces, and finally the beans......and now it's like two hours and I like to cook it to death.....so that the steak is tender, cause you usually eat with a spoon......it's gonna be good......I'm sure I'll pay for it but I don't care..that hanabero pepper is too much...just the right touch....seeds and all now...or else it's not worth it.

I'm in my 50's and have been cooking for years, rather decades, and just the other night I made the best damn guacamole. I commented to my husband and he said he was just thinking the same thing. Sometimes things just click, huh? Good on you!! Chili is one of my favs. A trick I do to thicken it up if it's not thick enough to my liking, add a can of refried beans to it! Did you add some cocoa? Try it if you never had, just a tsp or so or more depending on the size of your pot. Bon Appetit!

Sometimes, I amaze myself with a new recipe and other times, I don't. If that chili taste good today, I bet it taste better tomorrow after it has set with all the spices over night. Enjoy. It's still a little warm in the south for chili so I'll have to wait another couple months before making a pot.

Actually quite often I find the foods I cook to be quite tasty.
I like to cook a variety of foods and am not afraid of attempting dishes from other cultures. I am always amazed at how well it turns out. I have actually been thinking about going to culinary school so I can add that degree to my resume. I have been catering on the side since 1991 and find that people are constantly amazed at how I can throw something together that they think is gourmet yet is so very simple for me to make!
Enjoy yourself!

That's great... how about the recipe?
I know what you mean... every once in awhile I surprise myself and make something really good.
It usually involves smoking and grilling, especially pork.
My caution is don't overcook the meat. Sometimes beef gets kind of gritty when you overcook it, especially if you cut your own chunks of meat for chili. Ground beef is more forgiving.
