We hosted Sunday dinner tonight, as a ploy to get Ralph and Lori over. I made the chicken chili (it's not really chili) that my grandmother brought for Christmas Eve dinner, since it was tasty and I got the recipe from her and hadn't used it yet. And we warmed up a loaf of insanely crusty bread, probably spalled a good ten percent of its mass all over the counter trying to cut it.

We chatted, and played DDR. Oh, our downstairs neighbors slipped a note under our door, in response to one Dee left them. She said sorry about the stomping on your ceiling at 3:30 that morning, please call us if we're being loud, oh and by the way I'm having a DDR party next week. They said oh hell the guy pounding up through the floor was our asshole buddy, pay no attention, dance all you want.

The recipe, as written:
Chicken Chili (serves 2 -- but I just added)

8 oz. chopped onion (1 2/3 c.)
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp. oil (I use olive)
8 oz. boneless chix breasts
15 oz. can white beans
1/2 jalapeno (I have jar of sliced -- to taste)
1/2 tsp. coriander
1 tsp. cumin
14 oz. can crushed/diced tomatoes
1 lime -- 1 TBsp chopped cilantro
1 cup corn kernels
4 TBsp. plain yogurt
freshly ground pepper

1- In oil heat + cook onion + garlic until begins to brown
2- Cube chicken
3- Drain beans
4- Add chix to pan
5- Add jalapenos, coriander, cumin, tomatoes, beans
6- Squeeze 1/2 lime into chili
7- Stir in corn
8- Season with pepper
Cook slowly
Serve w/ yogurt, lime wedges, chopped red onion + chopped cilantro

P.S. You may notice I omitted several of the additions.

[eub comments: ingredients -- I used Thai green chili paste instead of jalapeno (bonus galangal!), some crushed AND some diced tomatoes, only 75% of the listed amount of lime juice, and no cilantro, couldn't find any. cooking -- I juggled timing a bit. staged tomato, beans, and lime: part early, part late. corn at end. note that "serves 2" means with leftovers.]
