Game Day

So the fire last night messed my entire schedule up.  I was supposed to go to Palo Alto for the Ink Bowl, the annual flag football game between the staffs of The Daily Californian and The Stanford Daily, but I was way too tired after staying up until close to 4 a.m.  I had to move on to my plans for actually watching the Big Game, which is to say I needed to find plans.  Since I don't have money to throw around for game tickets, I decided to stay home to watch the game, and that meant that I needed to cook something to enjoy while watching.  I decided to make chili and cornbread.

I've had this chili a thousand times before - this time, I used a recipe from my other grandmother, the Japanese one - but I had never made it myself.  It was an easy recipe, though, so I wasn't worried:  ground beef, an onion, a bell pepper, garlic, canned tomatoes, and canned chili beans.  Seasoning was salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder to taste.  That's it.  Super easy.  It cooked for like an hour total.  I eat it on top of white rice because it soaks up the juices and adds a little more body.  The corn bread was Krusty's, and it was delicious.  Super easy to make, too.  It all made for a very nice football watch party meal.  If only Cal had won...  Maybe they needed some chili since it was cold and rainy over there.
