Was Supposed to be Camping

I had dreams of my big pot of chili by the fire when the CEO and I along with four other couples were going camping this weekend. Circumstances at home and work prevented that from happening for us.
So I am camping at home, a variety of hot peppers from our garden, some Serrano's and a Fresno chili we had in the fridge garlic, and some dried chili's all roasted up, the dry ones got a soaking in warm water afterwards to rehydrate

All in the blender with two cans of roasted diced tomatoes and two tbsp of ground Cumin

Get you a keyhole style fire going and let it burn down to mostly coals and feed it under your CI as needed adding more wood as needed to the main fire
The meat browning first then the veggies and shrooms added, finally your red heat juice along with half a beer

Maybe camping is over rated

The CEO made her Ceaser Salad and it was excellent, Jersey Corn is in the past few weeks and is fantastic. Some good beer and wine and good company

Bummer on the camping trip but you definitely made the best of it! Love your fire pit. I would have set up a large rotisserie rig on that puppy from day one :).
 
Nice way to sub that camping trip Bill, but please stop with the Jersey corn, your killing me. I spoke with my son this week who is not to far from you (Oxford) and mentioned your posts, I hope he got the hint and have been waiting for the NJ care package to arrive, Nice cook Chili looks excellent

Bill that is some very nice looking chili won't mind a bowl of that for sure. Now camping at home isn't to badand you and the CEO have a great week end.
 
Bill, I have a hard time feeling sorry for you missing out on your camping trip when I see that incredible pot of chili simmering over an open fire. Eating out of the wooden bowl must have made it taste even better :cool:.
