I made a rather large batch of bread dough the other day. Half of it I used to make regular buns but the other half became a large loaf of fluffy bread. It really is delicious! The only problem is the slicing...I seem to have inherited my mom's technique for slicing bread--which results in the top being thick and the bottom being thin. ^_^; Ah well, you can't win 'em all! Either way, the bread is great as-is, or lightly toasted. Like the edge of the bottle in the upper right of the background? It is cooking sake for those who were wondering. ^_^
And what suits bread more than chili? This batch of chili was made using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. There is a can of soybeans in there, as well as corn, carrots, onion and garlic--lots of garlic! A touch of Tabasco adds some heat, as does the spicy pepper cheese. I served the chili on top of fresh lettuce for a little crunch and to tame the heat. It's actually not that spicy though. The chili powder I have seems to be a bit on the mild side. In any case, it is a satisfying dish when the weather outside is frosty.
