ha, ha @ jfitz - now that WOULD be an interesting dinner companion!

The Kraft people had a website that you could type in for example, three things you have in your pantry and it would come up with a recipe - everything of course, are Kraft products.

Yes, thanks @KenieU - we don't get together for the Super Bowl - I am not a football fan, but plenty of Canadians do enjoy the day - I will save your recipe until the next time I have all the kids home - the recipe sounds as though it would work on skinless thighs, as well - it will make some of the more health conscious members of my family happy, although I am sure any benefit will be very marginal, LOL!

@PumpkinBear - Sorry to hear of your news - I can tell from your posts how much you admire your Dad - he is fortunate that you are there for him. My husband had a heart attack in his early 50's about 15 years ago - he didn't even know it - he felt the pain, lay down for a while and then got up and ate supper! He was not overweight, had a great moderate outlook on life, including eating and drinking, was athletic and exercised - the culprit was genetically based - he had a very high cholesterol level and once he started on statins with slight changes in lifestyle, he is doing very well - just wanted you to know that things can get better - follow advice of @Garvey,( there is a lot of misinformation out there) and @jerzee and others as they have been through it - we are thinking of you and your Dad

Whenever a friend or neighbour suffers a loss I always cook up a ham and send it over whole with some crusty buns, sliced cheese, etc. - it is a meal that can be served warm with veg, or used for a quick snack for guests/family who come to the house.

My chili is not authentic, but I couldn't imagine chowing down to a lovely bowl of spicy chili without red kidney beans, and, I will confess it here, my chili also has a can of beans in tomato sauce as well!

@mollyjade - As a diabetic myself, I know that everything you say is true. However, a wine spritzer is a good option for a diabetic, especially if everyone is having a glass of wine. Many of us plan to include a small amount of ETOH when we go out, so, although sugar free is best, don't be surprised if someone with diabetes chooses a spritzer.

That should be white "wine" - OK , I think I have had my share for tonight!

One glass of white white, especially in a "spritzer" style won't kill anyone.

I still can't save anything on "Favorites" - this was a useful feature for me and I do sorely miss it - my memory isn't great and I forget things - i.e. people were talking in a thread about Earth Balance "Buttery" sticks and how good it is - I can't find the thread and I wanted to try and find out if Earth Balance stuff is sold in Canada - if I had been able to "favorite" the thread, I wouldn't have a problem. When will it be fixed? Why are some people able to access it and others not?

@rhubarb - thanks for the neat tip - our little garden sparrows will be thrilled in this snowy weather! @salpico - I am going to "upgrade" my recipe with yours - not crazy about red pepper though, do you think I could substitute roasted pepper? Also is it good cold, because that is the way I love it, the next day on a crusty roll.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that savory is delicious in meatloaf and turkey loaf. I had a Newfoundland uncle who settled in Los Angeles and he was famous for a turkey meatloaf he made with savory. No one could guess why it was so different and so good.

Last year we had a Chili lunch fundraiser at our Church after service. A dozen people were asked to bring their homemade chili in crockpots - it was difficult to keep "worshipful" with the smells wafting up from the kitchen! It was amazing to see/taste the differences in that one recipe, "chili" - everything from something like a "hamburger soup" to beef chunks to turkey to vegetarian to medium to a "burning ring of fire!" rendition from one of our Caribbean parishioners. I think to say chili is regional casts too wide a net, chili is definitely individual!
