Chili oh chili

I made chili last night! :) My second time cooking on my own! :) It wasn't bad and the fact that I made something from scratch was fun! I actually had to cook for 2 hours! Obviously something I don't do. hahaha...

The chili wasn't that bad, I got mixed reviews ranging from "It's too spicy!" to "It's not spicy enough!" thanks to the fact that the people I feed have very varied taste preferences. My basis of course would be the bu. When we first started dating he would never even come close to something that was spicy, not even a little bit. But as our relationship grew his taste for spicy food grew as well but his tolerance is still low. So last night's chili was based on his taste. According to him, it had to have some kick. hahaha...

What I realized is difficult for someone who doesn't eat meat and cooks meat dishes is the fact that I can't try the food so I didn't know what it tasted like at all and had to rely on the reaction from the bu. It was quite hard but I guess it's something that I have to get used to cause I sure won't eat meat.

My chili turned out drier than normal (it wasn't really dry but it wasn't what I thought chili should be.) I think it was more so because of all the adjustments I had to make for the taste that I had to keep it on the fire longer than necessary. Learned from that! :)

Next up on my list, tuna pasta. Finally something I can eat! Will tell you all about it next time! Til then, happy eating!
