I haven't the money for that. I need my kids to grow up strong. #retirementplan
My kids plan to be licorice manufacturers.. or at least eaters.

My kids don't know it yet but they plan to pay way too much rent to live with their parents.
I wouldn't say this is super spicy chili but it is only for me for my lunches for the week. Five kinds of chilis. Dried California chilies, dried Guajillo chilies, fresh jalapenos, canned green chili and cayenne powder. Rehydrated the dried chilis and blended into a paste (replaces chili powder), blended the canned green chilies with cilantro and garlic salt. Chopped the jalapenos and combined with chopped onion on a griddle until slightly charred, added cumin and cayenne powder with black pepper and garlic salt to the meat before heavily browning the meat (93% lean ground beef), beef stock, black and red beans to the pot. Canned diced tomatoes. No thickener but pretty thick chili.
Spicy food is overrated IMO ... the heat dominates the other flavours too much.

lol. f u, braugh
I have a small arsenal of show-worthy material right now. I have 7 or 8 rearrangements of John Fahey songs. Plus some Mississippi John Hurt.
We've got a ward chili cook-off on Wednesday. Care to share your recipe?
Edit: Aha, I see you did in a later post.
Said by someone who gets overwhelmed by spicy flavors and can't taste anything else.
Keep at it, son. Eventually you can taste past the heat and a whole new world of flavor opens up.
Now where is the pet peeve thread...
Chili is something I make differently, sometimes very differently, every time I make it. But I'm feeling good about this batch. A few things could have made it better, but I think I'm gonna like the layers of flavor in this.
I'm not against spicy food.. I grew up eating Thai food and can probably tolerate more than most. I love spicy food.
But when I see people making Larb with beautiful bbq'd meat on hot coals and sprinkling over a spoonful of chilli I cringe... to me it's a CRIME to hide all the beautiful flavour of the meat with so much chilli.
flavor of meat...
I don't give a **** about the flavor of meat. Meat tastes best when it is seasoned. That's when meat tastes good. Maybe just salt and pepper. Maybe hot chilies. Maybe citrus. Maybe something else. Meat taste good. i love meat. But please give me seasoned meat.
Happy with a bit of salt and pepper to complement it.. maybe even citrus... but chilli in my experience masks the flavour of meat due to the heat.
Too much Heat is bad for the Meat.
IMO

If you're saying you can't taste what's good about the meat because of spiciness I'm sorry for you. That is absolutely not true for me. I am capable of tasting layers fo flavor and distinguishing between each layer. I mean maybe that's why I can cook so much awesome food and why I can brew such good beer. One flavor does not prevent me from tasting the other flavors.
Sounds like a sad life otherwise.
Obviously it depends on how much you put on, ... a smidgen to give it a 'kick' I'm OK with, but I've seen people put in spoonful of the stuff because it wasn't 'spicy enough' and that to me is a crime...
You obviously missed the part whereby the spiciness is derived from actual "foods" and not solely a jar or packet.. having its own unique flavors. Spiciness is not some unique flavor-KILLING category.
It's like sweet, tart, etc... it's a flavor.
You're treating it like it's salt or something.. "too much salt is salty!"
