Tep, Tim needs some of this - [link]
But seriously, canned green chiles don't add much heat, and are awesome with black beans. Which spices you use sort of depends on how much you want it to taste like chili. (Cumin, chili powder, etc, will all push it in that direction. Or you could use oregano and lemon juice and top it with some feta to go kind of Greek-ish.)

The name of that is practically a challenge. I love it.

It doesn't have to be chili-ish, though we both love chili. I'm intrigued by making it Greek-ish.
We tend to serve it over sliced, pan-fried polenta, which puts it in the chili ballpark (because chili just calls out for cornbread, and polenta is a cousin to cornbread [or something]). But I do loves me some feta, so maybe I'll try that next time, and serve it over rice.

It's insanely hot. I can tolerate about an eyedropper's worth at a time.
In completely other news, I have black hair now. It's so shiny!
I'd had a few times when my heart rate raced for no apparent reason,
I actually talked to my doctor about that at my last physical and she said it wasn't a big deal. I was all, "But my heart is arrhythmic and racing!"
They're more worried about shortness of breath as a symptom with heart problems. Though I guess I really should defer to JZ here since she's been typing up cardiology notes for 18 years.

No, you're all shiny.
Black is the new blue!
Am I too late for Steph? I would definitely add lime juice to the black bean soup, along with the cumin. Acid is a key factor in deliciousness.
I just bought almost all the things. And my decision not to worry about the bus schedule paid off, as one was pulling up as I walked out of Marshall's. Usually I try to go by the schedule and end up waiting for 15 minutes.

Not too late! I'm not making it tonight, or anything. I make it once every couple of weeks, and I was just thinking about it today, trying to puzzle out the mystery of spices. And I didn't even consider lime juice -- will definitely try that!
We never have onions just hanging out in the pantry like the potatoes
I try to keep in the freezer something called "Seasoning Mix," which is a combination of frozen onions; red and green peppers; celery; and a little parsley. A couple of frozen vegetable people make it. It works great for things like you're making, Teppy. Also, no chopping.
Oh, that reminds me I recently experimented with using lime juice in place of marinade for steak. Way more tasty than using whiskey.
I am getting so much spam for Magic Jack at my work e-mail that it's making me question my position on the Inquisition.

Hand to god, Tim keeps this in the freezer and doctors up frozen pizza (plain cheese pizza) with it (also chopped broccoli). He is a fierce advocate of seasoning mix.
