I'm making curried chicken and spinach tonight, adapting this recipe to what I have on hand in the kitchen:

There's a batch of chili I make from time to time that I affectionately call, "Uncle Christopher's Disreputable Five Bean Sinus Clearing Mouth Burning Taste Bud Numbing Lip Blistering Chili w/Bourbon".

I'll be right over.

Ever entered it in a chili cook-off? I've won a couple of times with mine. Only two kinds of beans (red and black; what do you use?) but meat both ground and in chunks, with homegrown peppers including jalapenos and habaneros, along with store-bought anchos. I tend like things hot. Haven't tried adding bourbon, but I've been known to use a nice robust ale as part of my liquid.

I make a good home made stew.


EDIT: Noooooo it is not mule stew.

Can we ask the mule?

Oh durn, if it was I'd be there right away.

C'mon over. I love cooking for others. I hosted a Thanksgiving dinner at my place a couple of years ago. That was a lot of fun.
No, I have never entered a chili cook-off. I ought to try your jalapenos and habaneros idea.

You'd probably like this. Celery, green beans, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, onions with ground beef in a V8 / water 50-50 base.

I am soooooooooooooooooooo there!

Okay, so I now have simmering on the stove a mixture of:

Sliced chicken breast meat (2 breasts, decent-sized ones - and y'all can get'cher minds out of the gutter unless you're willing to make room for me)

Coarsely chopped spinach

Coarsely chopped onion

Chopped red bell pepper

Little bit of spiced ale for liquid (because it was handy, and I wanted to drink the rest)

Couple tablespoons of butter

About a half-cup of Greek yogurt (these are the only two things I've got anything like measurements on this time)

Curry powder, garlic, cumin, black pepper, turmeric, paprika and some sriracha sauce. I'll add garam masala powder when it's nearly done.

The house smells lovely and I can't wait to eat.

What time is dinner again?

Whenever you get here.

Hey, she only marinated two pieces!

Donned my red cape, Superdupergoodguyman is on his way.






We can make some Mule Stew for you, Hippie.

Drat; I'm out of brown rice. Dilemma: Eat it with white rice, or just forego the rice and make salad?

Ah well, at least it's only a minor glitch.

Use Rice-a-Roni....

Uh, no. Don't have any, and don't like it anyway.

But it's the San Francisco treat!

<--- has never been to San Francisco.

That's okay. You get a streetcar named Desire with the box...
