The Tao of Chili Making
Chili will have a list of ingredients so long that it makes your head spin. It can't be helped.
Don't even try making a small batch of Chili. It is impossible.
No matter how hard you try, two batches of Chili will never turn out the same.
Learn it. Practice it. Embrace it. Hey, you can't make this stuff up. Except I totally did. But that doesn't make it any less true.
I mean it when I say embrace it, though - I've never met a (giant) pot of chili that I didn't like. From mild to fire-breathing, from shredded beef to ground chicken, from 15-bean to no-bean, from green to white to red...I like 'em all.
