Oh, so Good Chili

Well, every Sunday we get together to watch football and we also decide what the menu will be the following week.  Last week was my turn to decide for yesterday's game.  I have been thinking of a nice pot of chili for awhile now but the weather has been so darn hot that it didn't seem like chili weather to me but I decided to go for it anyway.  I got all my ingredients together on Saturday and didn't really have any direction but knew what I wanted the end result to be.  As I chopped and sauted, browned and seasoned, I didn't pay attention to quantity until I put everthing into the crockpot and realized it was up to the brim with ingredients.  Oh well I decide, I can freeze whatever is leftover for future dinners.  Sunday morning, I woke up and the pot was so full and it smelled delicious!  The day was grey and cloudy, and it was cool outside.  We lit a fire and had hot dogs, cornbread, tortilla chips and all the fixins to go with it.  I have never seen such a mellow bunch of guys on a football day.  They ate and just kinda sank into their seats and watched the game.  All the elements added up to a great day!  Oh, and the leftovers.....there are none!
