Too hooked on New Vegas now tho.
ODST? Heck, I listen to the soundtrack while I work, it's so awesome.
Of course, New Vegas is a blast. I won't set one game against another; I love 'em all too much.
So many games, so little time.

sounds delectable.

Chili was on the menu for my anaphylactic reaction, then I tested allergic to the beans.
*sigh*
I love chili.
I also tested allergic to eggs. None of this is supposed to develop at my age. It's not fair!
My sympathies. Allergies that manifest when you're already an adult and have been eating all the things for years suck ass. :(
I'd say it gets better as you get used to it, but honestly I'm just not that good of a liar. :/

I disagree. It's perfectly acceptable if you remove the peas. Delicious.

Pinto beans, green peppers, and corn are abominations! Heretic!I admit that corn is a weird addition and quite possibly a capital offense in Texas. I find the subtle sweetness brings out the spiciness of everything else.
Isn't everything a capital offense in Texas?

Make chili without beans. I seem to recall some good beanless chilis.D:
Celestial Healer wrote:Does the egg allergy mean no eggs in anything? No cake?It does for the moment. I'm on a 6-week elimination diet and my blood has been sent for IgE testing. They seem to think my immune system was in overdrive and that's why I reacted so strongly and suddenly. We're trying to calm it down and might gradually reintroduce foods. I hope. Because living without dairy, wheat, corn, oats, barley, sugar, beef, beans, nightshades, and eggs is kind of difficult. Though I did lose 12-1/2 pounds the first week.
Have they found the reason for immune system overreaction? Or are they still looking?

Was that recipe too difficult for you?

No, pretty simple. I see two things wrong with it, 1) peas, 2) Paula Deen.

I love Chili, but man do I hate Kidney Beans.
It's not easy.
I'm with you there. I love chili and hate pretty much all beans that aren't green beans.
And it's so bizarre for me, being from Texas, which seems to be the only place where "chili" by default does not include beans.
In Texas if you want beans in your chili you have to specifically request "chili with beans" or sometimes just "chili beans".
But apparently everywhere else, it's automatically assumed "chili has beans" and to request it without you have to specifically ask for "chili without (or "with no") beans".

Blue Rose update with more old "adventures" (this one wasn't, really, but was setting the stage for future adventures).

If it isn't an animal, I'll eat it.
Seriously, before I went vegetarian I was like an otyugh. My high school girlfriend's mom called me the human garbage disposal.
Among other things. She didn't like me.
Her daughter being...a rather loud recipient of entertainment...may have had something to do with that.

Probably because we don't have it here.
We called it Ladies' Fingers, for some reason.
Peas are like little green spheres of pure vegetablical ecstasy.
I tried playing a jug once but could never get more than one note out of it. Now it has cider in (which should be ready to drink in about three weeks... Heeey...)

Is that British spelling (there is no "u" in color, damnit!), some form of misspelling, or an entirely new word I've never heard of?

There are some threads that make you want to click them and see how they are developing... Like a pushing a wobbly tooth in your jaw or pressing on a puss-filed boil...
Yeah, did that. Read the first 50 posts. Got to page 2. Read 3-4 posts. Closed it. Clicked the X. Will never return. My life has improved.

I just look for any opportunity to point out that color has no u in it, really...or that aluminum is pronounced exactly as it is spelled, not "al-ooh-mini-yum"...or that chips are crunch delicious things that come in bags, not french fries, and those sweet delicious things that Oreo makes are called cookies, not biscuits!
Seriously, what do you guys call biscuits if cookies are biscuits? You know, the things southern people eat with gravy, or McDonalds serves with meat and eggs in the middle?

Then what do you call what we call scones?! Those triangular pastries that are sweet and made without eggs in places like Starbucks and Panera!
