i promised.....someone!  that i would post a chili recipe today, sorry i can't remember who it was (is this a sign that i read way too many blogs??????)
and JenIG, if you see this, just pass it to Coie 
**disclaimer**
you can make this either meatless or beanless...just bulk up on peppers if you choose that
Chili
1 large onion, chopped
1 green and 1 red bell pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, peeled
(rough measures follow)
1/4 to 1/2 cup chili powder, depending on your heat tolerance
a good handful (about 3 tbsp) oregano
same for Adobo, with the blue top
about 1 1/2 tsp salt (cut if you like, but make sure you add a tiny bit)
about 1/2-3/4 tsp crushed black pepper
2 bay leaves
(SECRET INGREDIENT) 1/2 tsp-3/4 tsp cinnamon
(extra secret ingredient) 1 tsp cocoa powder (NOT NESQUICK, real baking cocoa!)
2 lbs ground beef (can use less, but this much makes it hardy)
1 double size can, or 2 15 oz cans kidney beans (or whatever bean turns you on!)
1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
in a large deep pot, cook till nice and soft, the onions and peppers and garlic
then add your beef and cook till just brown, then add the spices, and let them cook in for about 3-5 mins
add the tomatoes and beans, give it a good old stir and let it cook to death!
I LIKE to cook mine for 3-5 hrs, but i'll settle for 1 & 1/2 if i have to compromise
serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and corn bread
