Ok, I got one!

It's up and running and verified now. W00t. I sent off referral links to roaming, lensman, and unferth, as requested. If anyone else needs one, let me know. Basically, when you use the referral link to sign up for an account with them and start it off with a deposit of at least $250, YOU get $25 and I get $10. Pretty sweet deal.

Tonight shall be a night of cookery!

Nothing fancy. I'm making some chili (probably vegetarian, using Boca "ground beef" and beans) for dinner, and I'm also going to bake up a batch of Mole-Ass cookies for pierceheart. I'm really looking forward to this chili! I've been craving it for a while, and I think the Boca stuff will make it quite low in points. I'll throw in a whole bunch of veggies while I'm at it. Gods know I need to use up some of what I have! The fruits are going bad too fast for me. It's sad. Being away for the weekend and not being home Friday night didn't help. :(

So, chili fans, what's your secret ingredient? I have a few that I use either alone in the pot or in various combinations, and none are really "secret". Some are:

Chipotle (smoked chiles)
Beer (stouts, rauchbiers (smoked beers), smoked porters, etc.)
Cocoa powder
Cinnamon/clove/allspice in various combos
Coffee (instant crystals or brewed)
Red wine

How about the rest of you?
