Chili Con Carne
On a chilly, rainy day, what could be a greater cause for preparing a pot of chili? I've been questioned in the past about the beans I use for chili. I enjoy kidney beans because of their firmer, less readily breakable skin. I also know that corn is an unusual addition to chili, but it's my way of adding color. Of course, no chili is complete without some steam white rice.
After all is said and done, I realize that a lot of life's joy is spent with the people we cherish and our favorite foods. And the sweetest possible end would be a box of chili to take away for them.

Bacon and Bleu Sirloin Steak and Clam Chowder
Although I frequently remark that a wonderful steak doesn't require much more than salt and pepper, this creamy blue cheese and bacon sauce certainly doesn't hurt. It begins with a base of butter-caramelized onions, which intensifies their savory-nutty flavor and gives the finished sauce weight.
