I have to say that I really love, Love, LOVE reading the posts on this blog. I think it is so fun to share with each other. Our chili night was so much fun. I like doing things like that. Maybe because it makes it more fun for me. I don't have to plan it all.
I made so much chili that didn't get eaten that I was able to freeze some for later. Maybe if we get a good snow in the near future,we can go sledding then come home for chili and hot cocoa.
I would share my recipe for the wheat chili, but I kind of make it up as I go along. I usually cook the wheat in the slow cooker before hand and then add it in along or instead of the meat. Other than the wheat, I just make it like regular chili.
All of the chilis were so good. I loved the cookies and the corn muffins. Both of those added to the fun of the night. Let's not forget this and do it again some time. Just a reminder, our Iron Chef is coming up in February or March so we need to think about what we want for our special ingredient.
I decided that I wanted to read the Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury for Halloween. I went looking on a couple of book websites, and found a hard copy for not too much, so I ordered two. I read it quickly, and loved it. I loaned one book to Steph and the other to Mel. While on the website, I was able to order the animated movie too. It was made for TV in 1994. Leonard Nimoy does the voice of the main character and Ray Bradbury himself narrarates it. I think it is just loosely based on the book, but still a nice show for the Halloween season. If you would like to read the book or watch the movie, just let me know.
You should never have to plan all of our third sunday dinners. We should all be bringing something, you just need to let us know what. I left the book at your house cause I wasn't sure if you were giving it to me or just that you wanted to show me, so it's in the back room on the coffee table if that's still in there.
