I think I know…

Sorensen’s head has not been found. A cause of death has not been determined.

I’m gonna bet that his death has someting to do with the fact that his head is missing.

Grandma’s Chunky F’ing Chili

Today I’m getting ready to make the first annual autumn batch of Chunky F’ing Chili. The recipe started out with my grandma on my step-dads side of the family. As for the name? We’re from the Northeast. Maybe we swear a lot. Even grandma.

Here goes…

Chunky F’ing Chili

1. Get a big pot
2. Brown a pound of ground beef over medium heat. Don’t drain the grease!
3. Add: baby carrots, 2 green pepper, 2 med. size onion, sliced fresh mushrooms. Make sure all of your veggies are cut into nice, chunky size pieces, or else it won’t be Chunky F’ing Chili. Sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper, paprika and chili powder while it cooks.
4. Let veggies and beef cook together, intermingling their tasty juices and flavors, until veggies start to get soft.
5. Add: 3 cans tomato soup, 1 can of corn, drained, 1 can white northern beans, 1 can black beans, both drained. (You can add 2 cans of kidney beans instead, but I’ve never liked them much. Plus, the whole black/white beans makes a really great racial harmony statement).
6. Stir everything together and sprinkle chili powder until it forms a layer over the entire surface of the chili, then, stir the powder in. It should turn a deep red. Add more chili powder to taste (load it up if you like it spicy).
7. Switch your heat down to low, put a lid on it, and let simmer for at least 30 minutes.
8. Stir well and serve. Top with shredded cheese.

I’ve served this over white rice, which is tasty, but not really necessary. Buttered biscuits or buttered bread really go well with this chili too.

The beauty of the recipe is that you can add whatever veggies you like, I’ve added red potatoes, zucchini, all sorts of stuff, and it always ends up tasty.

Enjoy!

I can haz Basecamp?

I’m not really big on camping in a camper, I like to tent it. If you’re gonna get out of the house and go outside and rough it, what’s the point of spending time in a smaller version of your house that you tow behind your car/truck/SUV?

Yeah. Well, screw all that. Now the Airstream Basecamp is actually in production. I could camp in that thing just based on design principle alone. I’m already daydreaming about hitching it up to the pickup, sticking the bike and kayak in there, and heading out. Way out. For a long time. A really, really long time.

Loud guys talking smart

Finally, A Talk show for me…

There’s something strange about hearing these guys speak so intelligently and quietly. I know they’re all incredibly smart guys, but what a contrast to their stage presence. It’d be like my grandpa jumping out of his recliner and belting out some Pantera. Only in reverse, I guess.

For example:

Crazy Henry, Low Self-opinion

And some old Black Flag

SOAD, Sugar

RATM, Killing in the Name

I’m seeing stars…

Later tonight we’ll be camping at Grand Haven State Park, I’m hoping it’ll be a good night to find a spot on the beach to check out the Perseids meteor showers. This weekend is supposed to be peak viewing time.

It should be a perfect night to kick back, drop a couple hits of acid and watch the sky fall down.

That might be a joke.
