Did I just connect chili to Dirty Dancing? You bet your sweet maracas I did.
Don't put your heel down. Don't put your heel down!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this truly wonderful recipe, I feel connected to it in a way I never have before. And now I have dinner for tomorrow night
bahahaahah! i love how you love dirty dancing. THIS IS MY DANCE SPACE, THAT IS YOUR DANCE SPACE. YOU DON'T COME INTO MINE, I DON'T GO INTO YOURS.
ReplyDeletei honestly think that dirty dancing is our version of mean girls (omg, blog post idea just popped into my head) -- we could quote that shit all day!
that chili looks so awesome! we got a shit load of snow and hot chili with major carbs sounds good right about now.

I seriously love how you just made chili into dirty dancing. Hilarious! But so true. It totally works!
ReplyDeleteI saw Jackie posted a chili recipe today too. You guys are killing me. Now I am going to have to put chili on the list for my meals next week! Yours looks delicious!
Haha!! Only you could correlate Chili and Dirty Dancing but I love it!!! Chili really is a heartbeat kinda thing! It is all about tasting as you go. Love it!
ReplyDeleteCome on ladies! God wouldn't have given you maracas if he didn't want you to shake them!
ReplyDeleteThe cornbread OMG! I am totally screwed if I make that. Tons of butter and cinnamon sugar. I was already in a sugar coma from eating the cheerios chewies I made yesterday, that I totally knew would be lethal to me. I propose protein change places with carbs for eternity and fat have the same calories/nutrition as green vegetables. #rightnow
ReplyDeleteLove your MOMMA
Um, the "colonel mustard" label. I'm dying...
ReplyDeleteOkay, this might be the cutest (and most accurate) description of how to make chili I've ever seen. I completely agree that it's a food you just have to taste your way through eating! When I was moving out of the house-I asked my mom and aunt and everyone I knew for the chili recipe that I ate growing up--and they all looked at me with stone cold eyes and said "there is no recipe." Oh, the horror! Haha! I'll definitely taste my way through your recipe though! Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhen he keep running his hand down her side and she's cracking up, I totally get it I'd have been doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI love how even your recipes relate to Dirty Dancing!
Yep, you totally just connected DD with chili and I love you even more for it!! That's how we cook around here....just keep tasting until we "feel" it. LOL!
ReplyDeleteConnecting cooking chili to Dirty Dancing - GENIUS! And I've never tried the cornbread in a cast iron skillet, but I'm adding it to my list of things to do!
ReplyDeleteChili always hits the spot! And I might have to try your cornbread recipe instead of my usual plan of buying the mix in the small blue box.
ReplyDeleteThis comparison...freaking beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI just made chili this week too! Perfect, since apparently winter is never going to end.
I feel that most of my cooking is this way. Recipes are guidelines only; its all about taste.
ReplyDeleteAll of your DD references make me feel that I really need to watch the movie one of these days.
I really appreciated that link.....and now I want to go watch dirty dancing....or try to make Mark catch me and launch me over his head in a lift....which would never happen....now I'm depressed....let's eat some chili
ReplyDeleteDancing with chili
ReplyDeleteEating good food while in step
They go together!
Baahahahahah! You're such a damn freak... I love it! :D
ReplyDeleteAngel likes to tease me because my chili never tastes exactly the same because I "reinvent" it every time. Now I'll just say that I'm making it the way my heart feels!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I love the connection! I'm totally pinning this recipe. Can you believe I've never made chili before?
ReplyDeleteHa! My daughter asked if we could have chili for dinner tonight. What interesting timing.
ReplyDeleteI also make it however I feel like it that day. Like me, my chili is moody.
that looks delicious, but nothing compared to how delicious every single scene of that movie is!!!
ReplyDeleteHee hee.... Colonel Mustard! =) I just made skillet cornbread for the first time last week (with chili, of course). It was really good! (Why oh why did I make the box cornbread all those years? It just doesn't compare.)
ReplyDeletehahaha i love how much you love dirty dancing. chili is always a good choice.
ReplyDeleteonly you can connect chili and dirty dancing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched that movie in ages! But now the song is stuck in my head…
ReplyDeleteThat looks tasty! Much want, in my mouth now. lol
