Foodie Chickie

I have been a bit sick for about a week now. At the end of last week and through the weekend I was a litte weak and feverish. But I took vitamins and a few Advils here and there to get through the day so I can go to my scheduled obligations. I thought it was all the sun. It still could be all the sun. I haven't gone to the doctor. Maybe I'll go tomorrow. I haven't decided. I'll see how I am feeling. Tuesday morning I felt like absolute crap, but with Niel's help I managed to drag myself in to work. I left half an hour early. Wednesday I took half a day and today I am off. Every time I think this fever and weakness is gone it comes back. It's really frustrating.

I hear there might be a sequel to Goonies.

The new Hilary Duff movie looks cute. I wonder what originality she can bring to the fairytale. I think I might rent it though along with the remake of Around the World in 80 Days, and The Terminal.


Here is a good Chili Recipe I found in Easy Home Cooking. It is a good starter recipe.

Chili
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 lbs of ground turkey
1 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
1 14/5 ounce can of stewed tomatoes
3/4 cup steak sauce
1 tablespoon cumin
1 16 ounce can black beans rinsed and drained
1 11 ounce can corn drained
Suggested garnishes: Shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped scallion to garnish

In a 6 quart heavy pot over medium high heat, saute onion and garlic in oil till tender.

Add beef; cook and stir until brown. Drain fat, stir in tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, steak sauce, chili powder, and cumin. Heat to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Stir in beans and corn and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Serve hot with whatever garnishes you enjoy.
