Kristine 's recipe  looks very alluring, but  I've never cooked beanless chili.  I've always been vaguely intimidated by  cooking it and getting it right. But beanless chili isn't an obsession out  her e like it is  in Texas.

I cooked up some corned beef and used part of it to make a variation of minestrone.

Whole grain spiral pasta, a can of black beans, a bag of frozen "Italian Style Vegetables".

Quite tasty.  About 6 meals worth.

I am currently making Ale-sauced pork ribs and vegetables. Although, I added parsnips in addition to  carrots, and about twice as many new redskin potatoes as is called for. Also, instead of a stout, I made it with Koningshoeven Tripel Trappist Ale.  It is probably going to be another hour or so before it is ready and I am having a hard time waiting.

If you are still chewing tabacky, I'd suggest just getting your food preprocessed.

I can give you some recommendation‘s...

I can also provide info on food processor‘s.

Seriously though, it depends somewhat on what your purpose for using one is. That will guide a prescribed evolution to a final decision.

I have four in various sizes and formats for specialized purposes and 2 are manually operated. I love them so...

Looks and sounds yummy. It‘s now on my list to make right after Kristine‘s chili.

I‘ll be curious to know how it turns out...post a pic.

Alas, I do not have a digital camera, so even if I was to take a picture it would be several week before it was available.  

That said, it came out well, although it really does require more salt than is called for in the recipe.

cold snap coming.  weather the likes of not seen here in a decade.  temps in the mid 20's for a couple of nights and below freezing for a couple afterwards.

the pepper plants i have are gonna be crispy and brown when this is over so i harvested the last of the sweet peppers and a about a quart of red tabasco peppers.

i gently boiled the tabascos in a couple cups of white vinegar and then ran them through a blender til the peppers were all broken up.  
brought that concoction to a gentle boil yet again.
strained it through a fine mesh and now i have a quart jar of bright red tabasco sauce that will remove paint.  :)

i'll have to thin that out some for daily use but it won't last long around here....

now i've gotta go berm the bananas and other tender stuff.

i want me some global warming and i want it now.

I switched to Classico and Bertollis for marinara sauce. Now when I try the cheap stuff like Ragu it is sickeningly sweet. Anyway I thought I'd share a very easy-to-make thin crust pizza recipe. I never would have believed a tortilla could make a pizza crust, until I tried it.

Take a tortilla, brush/rub it with olive oil. Cook in oven for 1-2 minutes until it starts to firm. Remove, add marinara sauce, mozzarella, and whatever toppings (sliced bacon pieces, black olives, etc. Return to oven for 6-9 mins. Done!

I was really surprised by how simple and cheap the tortilla made the process. And very low carb, too.

I made raviolli for the first time ever tonight.

None of them fell apart during cooking!!!!

Purchased flat sheets of fresh pasta (too lazy to make it myself). Then cut sheets into approx 5X5 inch squares (too big in hindsight).

Filled pasta squares with mixture of sauted wild mushrooms, onions, and garlic (plus salt & pepper, of course) sauteed in olive oil, then cooled a bit, then food processed for 30 seconds or so.

Primed the edges of pasta squares with egg wash. (This must be what kept them together, to my surprise.)

Put heaping teaspoon of food-processed mushroom filling in center of each pasta square.

Pressed out air around filling, and crimped edges (both sides) with fork.

Boiled in softly-rolling water approx 4-5 minutes.

Served with a simple tomato sauce (onion, garlic, canned crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, basil).

Pretty good, but I have a lot to learn about making raviolli. Mine had way too much excess pasta around the edges.

What is the radius of consumption?

IIRC they tried to expand geographically, but it didn't work.

First thing to do when purchasing sauce is throw out anything that has added sugar. Most do.

In the midwest, almost everything has added sugar.  I have given up on bread/rolls/bagels, it's all sweetened.

Beats me.  I used to eat there on occasion when I lived in Columbus. Now that I live in Oklahoma, I make my own.

EDIT: I used to eat at Skyline Chili, and they appear to only be in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida.

I have four in various sizes and formats for specialized purposes and 2 are manually operated. I love them so...

The thing I'd mostly use it for is chopping up onions, a frequent task I hate to do by hand.

I like using onions in cooking (can not stand them raw) and have serious issues with cutting them.

(I spent one summer working in a restaurant and almost died after spending an hour or so cutting up onions)

Is there somewhere to buy frozen onions?

frozen onions would be fine in something like chili, methinks, but not a recipe that requires them to have any firmness. The freezing process busts their cell walls and when they thaw they're mush.

as to hand powered onion "dicers", i have two:  a wally world onion dicer that produces 1/4" sections of a veggie (works great for pico de gallo with peppers and maters).  that was in the $12 range .  
a bass pro shop gizmo that was designed to french fry taters.  it has two sizes of grid  and the larger is about 1/2  inch.  cost was in the $20 range (on sale).

it will fling onion sections across the room. :)

for stir fry, i still have to slice 'em by hand to get the correct size - 1X1 or larger, usually larger.

One of my main uses of onions is as a bed under a roast of mammal or fowl.  Doesn't seem to matter if fresh or froze in that case.

Yes, the phototgraphy is really nice.  As for the music..., my wife thought I was watching porn when she heard it.

Try out Muir Glen tomato products. For me at least, they have wonderful flavor, are not subjected a lye bath (NaOH) for peeling and can be found on sale frequently in the chain grocers.
