You mean Dew-a-lee Sigh Cow Tao?
Yes I do!
I'm basically done with my task for the day, and the building is emptying out. I think I'll leave at 4:30, but I can't go any sooner than that.
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Advice on making slow-cooker chili needed!
I think I'm going to cook up a pound of ground turkey, then use the large can of crushed tomatoes, a can of tomato paste, a can of kidney beans, a packet of McCormick chili seasoning, chop up half an onion, chop up a bell pepper or two, and then cook it on high in the slow cooker for 4-5 hours tomorrow. Will that be enough, or should I add another can of crushed or diced tomatoes? Should I add a bit of water to make it a bit thinner?
I'm not a good cook, and just throwing together a dish like this is freaking me out without a recipe to follow.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
They DO make Batman trains! OMG Teppy r u ok?
Man, I really wish I could have a drink right now. But I can't because soon I will have to drive. There will be packing up of the last of niece's stuff to move it back into her mom's attic, as she prepares for the adventure of her new job. I am selfishly hoping that they won't need my help or my hatchback, because I'm tired, my foot hurts, and I still haven't wrapped presents. Or sent out holiday cards, for that matter. Can I get about six spare hours today?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Kathy, I like my chili to be tomato-ey, so I would add the extra can, but I think it is a matter of taste. Why not just cook what you have, and then at the four hour mark, give it a taste-test, and see if you want to add the tomatoes or water then?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Kathy, your chili sounds awesome to me - you shouldn't need any extra water, because when you cook in a slow cooker, you don't lose liquid to evaporation the way you would in an open pot. As long as everything is moist/stewy when you put all the ingredients in (and it will be!), you'll be fine!

And NOW we hear from our VP (currently on vacation in Hawaii!) that we can leave at 3. Too bad I have no good way to get home until 4:30!

I'm doing my errands today and mailing out the nail polish box. It looks like it goes to Kat next? Is that right, Perkins?
