stop ignoring yourself. fix your posture, get a new hair cut, do your nails, take care of your skin, brush your teeth, drink water, eat foods that give you energy. get strong, stop looking sloppy. when you feel good, you do good. invest in yourself.

Want a quick and easy chili recipe?

I have my mom's chili recipe that takes like 15-20 minutes of actual work and another 15 or so of simmering. It makes a really big pot, just so y'all are aware, and I'm already halving the recipe for y'all.

You'll need:

3 lbs (1.4 kg) ground meat of your choice (higher fat content produces a better flavor, and is cheaper) [Use 4 lbs if you aren't adding beans]

2-3 large (24oz) cans of tomatoes (petite diced and crushed are needed, but if it's still too dry (it won't usually be), add tomato sauce until it hits the consistency you want)

1 small (6oz) can of tomato paste (roughly one tube, if that's what you have)

1/2 cup or so of red wine (a robust (dry and full-bodied) one is best, and you can usually find a cheap cabernet sauvignon)

2 small/medium onions, cut large

1 12oz can of black beans (optional)

Optional, but I like it: tomatillo salsa or crushed/diced tomatillos. (You can get the flavor well enough with just half a tomatillo.)

All these spices to taste:

Dill

Worcestershire sauce

Cumin

Goya Adobo spice mix (it's salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano, so pretty easy to substitute if you can't find it)

Your preferred chili powder (spice level irrelevant)

To Cook:

Saute onions (and a couple spices if desired) in cooking oil of your choice on medium-high heat until just about translucent, then add your ground meat, lower temp to medium heat, and cook until done (about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your pot).

Stir in tomatoes one can at a time in order of importance (tomato paste last), until it reaches the desired consistency. Add tomatillos, if desired. Add spices and wine to taste. Add black beans, if desired. Simmer for 15 minutes on low to medium-low heat.

More spices, tomatoes, or wine can be added at any point in the simmering process, so feel free to taste it as it cooks!

Notes:

Even the halved recipe here serves 5 adults for a full meal with leftovers. If you don't have the fridge space, halve the recipe again.

You can serve with soda crackers or cornbread, or even add it to a bowl of mac and cheese. I also recommend having some sour cream and smoked Tabasco sauce at the table.

My preferred meat is 80/20 ground beef, my mom uses ground turkey, and my grandpa uses cubed beef instead of ground (and also doesn't add beans). You can also use ground lamb or mutton, venison, or whatever meat you have available; the recipe doesn't change.

Depending on where you live in the US, the total cost if you have nothing but the spices will be around $50 for 6-8 meals.

My grandpa is making me add something here: adding black beans will affect the overall flavor of the chili. If you want to split the recipe into two pots after adding the tomatoes and seasonings and see which one you like better, feel free to experiment! He hates beans in chili, but they're a cheap stand-in for meat.

This recipe is a cheaper and faster adaptation of my grandpa's recipe, which I can provide to anyone who asks.

upgrade your life by taking note of the objects you use most and slowly replace them with the most beautiful and high-quality versions of those things you can find.

Life is really just returning back to yourself over and over and over again.

Just because I don’t require much doesn’t mean I deserve the bare minimum.
