brisket chili glut

Posted on Friday, June 17th, 2022 at 7:38 am

It’s a good thing that I didn’t thaw anything. I came home from the jam with twice the usual amount of brisket chili. Either it was too warm for the chili eaters, or they were glad to see me. I’ll have to eat some of it straight, no extenders.


The jam was fun, a couple of new players, six leaders. Despite the reprieve, my pads still were the limiting factor, but I was only 15 minutes shy of the full night. It was a good time. I had to wipe the Egee a couple of times, as it was a little on the warm side, and my shirts got a little salty.


Not much else going on, intentionally. Two outings, back to back, have had my eyes shut a fair bit of the time. Such is the price for bringing home the goodies. (Popeye’s spicy in the fridge too.) I plan on going back to lump mode. I’ll get the truck topped off some time. I’ll need more cheddar for the extra chili. Not now, though. I’m staying put this morning.


Going back to triple digits this coming week. A hazy morning, 74°F dew point. Could be worse. Time to hibernate and eat chili. Broke into the flautas for breakfast.
