miffy495 Posted September 21, 2014 Someone please explain what makes this either Chili or Cincinnati. I have never heard of this food before it came up in this thread, and am now slightly horrified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibs Posted September 21, 2014 FFS miffy, just look at wiki. Particularly, their chosen image for Cin Chilli really clears things up. More obvious now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

syntheticgerbil Posted September 21, 2014 YOU DON'T LIKE JUST EATING A BAG OF CHEESE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ucantalas Posted September 21, 2014 ...one time I had almost no food in the house and didn't feel like going out to get something, so I ate a whole bag of shredded cheese. It wasn't terrible.Based on that experience... I would eat those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted September 22, 2014 God I forgot how much cheese there is on that. Underneath all of it, Cincinnati style chili is the only food I've eaten thus far that looks the same going in as it does coming out (minus the noodles). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

syntheticgerbil Posted September 22, 2014 ...one time I had almost no food in the house and didn't feel like going out to get something, so I ate a whole bag of shredded cheese. It wasn't terrible. I've done that with spoonfuls of peanut butter but not cheese. Either way, I can respect that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badfinger Posted September 22, 2014 Someone please explain what makes this either Chili or Cincinnati. I have never heard of this food before it came up in this thread, and am now slightly horrified. DAMMIT thread, look what you've done. You've ruined chili for Miffy by covering it in Cincinnati. Why would you destroy such a beautiful food? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
undermind9 Posted September 22, 2014 We burnt our chili by falling asleep for hours instead of watching the crock pot... That is probably the appropriate amount of cheese to overcome the char Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted September 22, 2014 I'm really sorry to say this, but sometimes i just can't imagine enjoying US food. This is the 2nd google image for Cinncinnati chilli:( Yeah that's horrible. I don't do that. A sprinkle of cheese and some onions and maybe some kidney beans. That's where it's at. We're talking something like this, except I like more onions: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted September 22, 2014 Yeah that's horrible. I don't do that. A sprinkle of cheese and some onions and maybe some kidney beans. That's where it's at. We're talking something like this, except I like more onions: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM want some (don't personally like raw onions though so i wouldn't have any!!)

miffy495 Posted September 23, 2014 Ok, THAT looks like something I would happily eat. In fact, judging by the way my mum used to modify spaghetti sauce when I was a kid, she was basically making Cincinnati Chili using spaghetti sauce as a base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badfinger Posted September 26, 2014 On Sunday, after summer's over, I'm finally going to do the thing I've wanted to all summer - buy a cheese making kit, make mozzarella, and do some homemade pizza. Anyone have a pizza dough recipe they like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted September 26, 2014 I've been making my own dough for months now and I still haven't found one that I like. I'm thinking about buying 00 flour as I heard that might help. I dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badfinger Posted September 26, 2014 Is there one you hate less than the others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted September 26, 2014 I use one that I found in a cookbook - 2.25 cups bread flour 1 tsp yeast 1.5 tsp salt 0.75 cup warm water 1 tbsp olive oil Sift flour, combine with yeast and salt, then combine with water and oil. Knead for 10 minutes (though I do less because my wimpy hands still can't knead for 10 minutes continuously) then rest at room temperature for a few hours at least, overnight is also fine.

dibs Posted October 13, 2014 So, i got a slow cooker. Chilli and pulled pork are the first two successes from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
undermind9 Posted October 13, 2014 i made chili yesterday that came out pretty great - recipe below if anyone interested 2lbs ground beef (90% lean if available) 1 tablespoon oil 2 cloves garlet minced 1 table spoon each - oregano salt black pepper red pepper flakes paprika chili powder cumin Chopped onion 16oz salsa 30oz diced tomatoes w/chilies (Rotel, etc) Mix dry spices & garlic with ground beef & brown w/oil. Combine with salsa, tomatoes, onion in slow cooker. Cook 4-6hrs on low I also learned that my wife actually doesnt like chili, and puts up with my 2-3x a month chili cooking out of love. need to find another lazy-sunday slow cooker meal now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badfinger Posted October 14, 2014 Try stew? Same basic concept - chunk some stuff up in a pot and let it go until dinner happens, but the change in flavors might work. Plus there are lots more common interpretations for "stew" than there are for "chili" even if technically that's not true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted October 16, 2014 Hachee is the best (a Dutch beef stew). (with mashed potatos and red cabbage). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blambo Posted October 16, 2014 Wait why wasn't this thread named Idle Yums or Idle Tums? I would assume it's because people need to retain their appetite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
