chili

Our temperatures went from ninety and humid to sixty and rainy, pretty much overnight.

One thing I noticed back when I had a job: every time there's a cool-down this extreme, people make chili. They eat it at home for supper and carry leftovers to work for lunch the next day; they talk about how good it tastes in this kind of weather, and say to one another, "You brought chili too?"

And chuckle, as though the same thing didn't happen every time the air gets a little nip to it.

Anybody else in the Midwest making chili? We had ours for lunch, Cliff took some to work with him, and I put some in the freezer for another day.
