MARCH 11 @ 9PM IN THE PONDSIDE ONE ASHUELOT ROOM

S’MORES & HOT CHOCOLATE ALONG WITH SOME CLASSIC COMFORT FOODS!!

Good ‘Ol Chili

What you’ll need:

• chili powder
• 1 large cans crushed tomatoes
• 1 small can tomato paste
• 1 large can tomato juice
• 1 green pepper, diced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• salt
• 1 small can kidney beans
• 2 lbs ground beef

As always, brown the beef in a skillet, drain, and then place back on the burner. Add your onions and peppers to the beef and let the flavors mingle and mix.

In a large pot, put in the tomato juice, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, and the beef/pepper/onion mix.

This part I was a bit startled by but I’m not about to argue with what works. Take 1/3 of a 2.25 oz bottle of chili powder to the pot. It sounds like a lot, it is a lot, but it works somehow. Then add your sugar and salt. As the pot is simmering, taste your chili frequently to see if it might need more salt, sugar (takes away bitter tastes), or a little extra spice. For this I suggest a small amount of cayenne pepper ( if you add to much you could ruin your chili) or crushed red pepper (like you find at pizza places).

What I really like about this recipe is that the spiciness doesn’t attack your tongue like it usually does. In fact, the spice gets you after you’ve swallowed the chili by leaving a wonderful after-taste.

So you’ve got everything in your pot, have you? Well done. Now comes the waiting. Let your chili simmer for 30 minutes to 4 hours. I give you this large time frame because the longer you let your chili simmer the more integrated the ingredients become and the better the chili tastes.

Hello lovely residents of P1, P2, & 27 Appleton!

I personally apologize for the great P1 smoke out of 2009.  We will be rescheduling the Hot Chocolate House for sometime in the next week.

Because of this incident, I would like to ask for your help in keeping our area up to safety standards.  We need to make sure that all doors in stairwells remain closed at all times.  If you notice the door to a stairwell is open, please just pull it shut behind you.  This way, if one of our buildings is ever full of smoke again, it won’t fill the second and third floors. 

COME TO THE 1ST ANNUAL PONDSIDE HOT CHOCOLATE HOUSE!

COME PERFORM OR JUST HANG OUT WITH SOME S’MORES & HOT CHOCOLATE!

March 4 @ 8pm in the Pondside One Ashuelot Room!
