We are, here, at the moment, though, out of corn meal, unfortunately.

16. It was a Surprise

That is one of the things we generally have lots of on hand, so that it did not occur to me to check the supply before I went to the store.

10. I Cook By Eye, Pretty Much

There is about two pounds of meat, some of it diced round steak floured and browned, and the rest ground beef. Two very large onions chopped. A small head of garlic, cloves coarsely sliced. A couple of cups of beef bullion, a large can of crushed tomatoes. A large can of whole tomatoes and three large cans of kidney beans. The meat and onions browned, the bullion and tomatoes added, simmered a bit, then the beans.

But the amounts will vary

18. It's very easy to make

Essentially, potato soup with steamed clams thrown in. We use a pressure cooker else I'd post the recipe.

We do that with chicken sometimes, though: about 225 for five or six hours. The thing looks deflated, it gets so tender, it collapses under its own weight.

13. Not Sure About the Categories

You can decide from the above, and the condiments. It is how I have made it since I was a kid. I had an Aunt made something she called chili, that had celery....

Most of the people who will eat this do not like things very hot, so I build up taste using lots of paprika and cumin, with very little chili powder in comparison. Also salt and black pepper, a good jolt of vinegar, and some sugar. I add heat to mine when served, as does my son.

The white was out, in this case.

If I was cooking this just for me, it would be much hotter. I used to make this up and freeze it to eat for the rest of the week, in my first apartment.
