So people now ask me what's for dutch oven Sunday... I considered taking a break from dutch oven Sunday today and not one, not two, but THREE people gasp'd and said what? I know the audacity to take a week off. My husband though, he was really looking forward to dutch oven Sunday... So I caved, and on the saga goes.

I can't believe the year is almost over, it's insane to me, but I work in education and as of this coming Friday I am off until the new year! Thank goodness too, it's been a long and exhausting year.. but full of joyful, happiness, and wonder.

I couldn't bring myself to follow a recipe again this week, so decided on a genre. Chili, it's been cold, well cold for us Arizionians, we bust out the winter sweaters because the date indicates it should be cold, and we wear them with pride, even if we're sweating a greenhouse under them. We demand boot weather dammit! Chili is one of those essential cold winter Sunday dinners, no matter how crappy it will be to go back to work the next day, chili is always going to make you forget about that.
