EDIT: I DON'T KNOW CHILI FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND.

[Freeky]

I don't think my mom even knows what constitutes GOOD food.  There's a jug of milk in her fridge, or there was yesterday, that had green patches on the inside.  It's weird because her house is otherwise sterile and lacking personality in it's cleanliness, even the rest of the fridge.

I've seen a few recipes - I think even the one I use as a base when I make chili - that say to put corn meal in it. I've always wondered - WHY??? - and just skipped over it. My chili's probably still an abomination in the culinary world for one reason or another, though I've never had any complaints, but never saw the need for any sort of flour or corn meal.

My mom used to fry steak in olive oil.

No joke.

And that seems sad and confusing

If my mom wasn't a proud old school Mexican, and learned to read,speak English, and use a computer she'd vomit all over this thread.

What kind of chili are you making?
Mexican?
Tex-Mex?
New Mexican?
Red?
Brown?
Green?

Give me NAMES of this place that serves pineapple chili! I will burn them down like in WACO!

Mercifully, I don't remember the name of the place. It's been 13 or 14 years since the last time I ended up there. It's in El Paso. Like I said, it's a Chinese/Tex-Mex buffet. I hope to christ there's not more than one of those.

Google informs me that there is indeed more than one of those in existence across the states.

NOOOOOOO

THAT IS NOT OK!

Also Freeky, I hope you meant "simmer" when you wrote "boil".

I suspect boiling would be too aggressive of a heat level for the meat and veggies to handle.

Unfortunately, I don't know.  I didn't get a chance to eat it.  It isn't that it was a big hit; it wasn't.  It got left out for a full day without being heated, so I don't think it's good anymore.
