No, not yet. A few days ago I was able to get some Bhut Jolokia on the Viktualienmart. Really nasty little motherfuckers! :-)

...doo be doo be doo.

My wife and I love to watch the food channel to get some recipe ideas, so this is the recipe we saw on one of Jamie Oliver's shows. We'll tweak to our tastes, but here's the base of it (Oh, and I realize real chili doesn't actually have beans, but we like 'em):

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 red onions
4 cloves of garlic
2 fresh red chillies (the large, not so hot ones – or more if you want more heat)
30 g fresh coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 x 400 g tins of chopped tomatoes
2 tomato tins of water
1 kg beef shin, bone in, sinew removed
2 fresh bay leaves
1 x 400 g tin of cannellini beans
Rock salt and freshly ground pepper.

Method

Preheat your oven to 150 degrees C.

Heat a large heavy bottomed casserole on the stove top on a medium heat. Add swig of olive oil to the pan. Add chopped red onions and minced garlic and fry for a couple of minutes. Add chopped chillis and the roots and stalks of the coriander, leaving the tops for the salsa and garnish. Add the spices and a good grind of salt and pepper. Fry till the mixture is caramelized and gnarly, but not burnt.

Pour in the chopped tomatoes, fill each tin with water and add these to the casserole. Stir to mix, making sure you gather up all the goodness at the bottom of the casserole.

Roll the shin of beef in salt and pepper to coat, then place gently in the centre of the casserole. Turn to coat in the liquid. Pop the bay leaves into the mixture.

Place the lid on the casserole and move to the pre-heated oven. Cook for 5 hours. I suggest checking after a couple of hours, and then each hour, to make sure the liquid is not drying up.

Meanwhile, empty the tin of cannellini beans into a frying pan with a swig of olive oil, and fry for a couple of minutes until some of the beans split.

Remove the casserole from the oven, and add the cannellini beans.

ill be thinking about what ill be doing tomorrow

... start Pilates again. My core could use some help.

...maybe do something useful with my life... BWAHAHA! Yeah, no. =P

... be dead, so live for today.

I never knew you but am a bit sad to hear of your departure from this earth. May you spend your last day doing something meaningful and impactful that will resonate through time and the knowing of doing that will bring positivity to your spirit that also resonates through time and space (the earth and people around you, which is everyone on the earth.) So long.

...find a way to integrate into our existing framework the new transformation solution I made today, which lowered the execution time from around 30 minutes to around 6 seconds.
