Before the freaking power
outage I had started working on chili for dinner tonight.  I used to cut up all of my own onions and tomatoes - and mix a bunch of spices and peppers together and basically end up with some pretty good home made chili.  But some of the stuff at the store is so good nowadays that I have given up my home made recipe.

The ingredients for 'Joey's Un-Original Chili' are:

• 1 pound Johnsonville mild ground sausage
• 1 pound Wal-mart lean ground beef
• Tone's minced onions
• Lawry's mild chili seasoning
• 64 oz. Campbell's tomato juice
• 15.5 oz Brook's mild chili beans
• 15 oz Bush's Best black beans
• 2 - 14.5 oz. Del Monte diced tomatoes w/ 'zesty mild green chilies'

One thing missing is a bottle
of beer.  I usually add some beer but since I never keep beer in the house and alcohol sales on Sunday are illegal in Indiana (and I did not plan ahead) we will have to do without the beer.  Damn!

*Update: It's almost done.  See the goodness to the left?  Yep, needs to simmer for another hour or so... just in time for the Colts to kick the evil and hated team from Foxborough in the face!
