Bowl of the Red

Today is the first cool day of the season, and the weather weenies are telling us that the temps will be under 50 degrees this evening.  As such, I had a hankering for a bowl of chili, so I stopped on the way home, picked up a couple of pounds of good ground chuck, some onions and peppers, and some tomato juice.

We'll let that simmer for another half-hour to blend the flavors and give them depth.  Then break out the saltine crackers and have a bowl.

I'm loving this cool weather.  I may be forced to make a gumbo later this week.
