chili con carne: regular or extra gassy?

[midwestyankee]

I chose c. Mostly because I'm too cheap to keep buying spoons.

I've put a set of titanium soup spoons on my Christmas list.

oh...and i'm going for option C simply because I love my spoons and don't want the plating seared off them.

haven't you people ever heard the word tolerance?

This may be a porn board, but I don't have to tolerate deviant chili-talk!

What would Lit be without a my-chili-is-superior-to-your-chili thread?

Next question: how hot do you like your chili? Do you want it to:

a) Rival the blandness of your elementary school cafeteria

b) Contain a hint of spiciness so you can tell yourself that it wasn't made by the Campbell's soup company

c) Sear your tongue and the inside of your mouth

d) Take the plating off your spoon

Can I say somewhere between b and c? I like spicy but I do not like it so spicy that all I can taste is the hot.

Jalapenos, yes. Habaneros, no.

O Great One, please accept my sincerest apology for not specifying it was in reference to a pizza debate on a chili thread.

Apology accepted.

when I was younger I used to call chili "Turbo-meat"

Strange. That's what I call my husband's--

Wait. I wasn't supposed to mention that.

Anything under a nine on the Scoville scale is just a bean stew, I like it HOT.
Sidebar comment; I seem to loose a rediculus number of spoons, I thought we were accidentally throwing them out so we bought chrome bins, but we are still down to two tea spoons and four desert.

Hmmm....do you live with me and I don't even know it? Our spoons have diminished in number just like thoughtful Republicans.

I know where mine go. The garbage disposal eats them regularly.

Have you checked behind your sofa recently?

Losing spoons is rather like the losing socks to the dryer phenomenon. I don't entirely know where our spoons go. Sometimes the garbage disposal eats them; others, I swear we have a spoon gremlin that steals them.

So that's where you got to. You are not to be trusted to stay in one place, are you?

when my son moved out, he found nearly an entire set of flatware ini the depths of his room.

This is my suspicion as to why our spoon supply has dwindled. Either that or the mice are getting very bold as well as cultured.

 

[silverwhisper]

if the latter were the case, wouldn't you also be missing more than a few saucers?

Somehow this smells of a nursery rhyme that escapes me at the moment.
