...and still stuck at home recovering from being sick...so today was the Sunday of cooking. Last week I was telling a friend growing up that my parents were always involved in chili cookoffs and such, and that I think it would be cool to host one, so I've had chili on the mind, but since I was ill last week, food wasn't something that I consumed much of, so now that I can taste again, chili was my kickoff to a what do you do when you're stuck inside your house all day weekend recovering from being sick....don't want to over do anything while recuping, so of of course cooking is what I did. The chili came out fantastic. At least I thought so...it's way, way spicy, not too spicy, but not for those who don't like spicy things....I loaded it w/jalepeno peppers, cayenne pepper, etc. I think this is helping me to get well. Zesty all natural healthy ingredients and I'm sooooo happy it came out! I basically mixed a bunch of peoples chilis together into one w/the ingredients that I liked.

Drain grease from beef. For a few minutes fry the chopped jalepeno peppers in a skillet for about 2 minutes, and remove from heat.
