Ones of the benefits of blogging for me has been that I have to stop cooking like the Mad Matter. Sounds a little crazy but let me explain. Chili is something I have made for years. Beef, chicken and vegetarian and every other version I or someone else was in the mood for. I have not made the same pot of chili twice. I might have come close but I never used a recipe and I never wrote one down. It is totally fun but sometimes I wish I could replicate my favorite versions. I am now writing recipes down and taking notes. Yes, notes. If I don't get something right the first time, the next time I make it, I will or at least get closer. This may not be a new concept to some, but for me it is revolutionary.
