I felt like utter crap last night, plus I wanted to play Dragon Age 2. So, cooking was put on the back burner (heh). Instead I'll write about an awesome slow cooker recipe that I found on Loki's Kitchen. I know her in real life, and she recommended it to me when I mentioned wanting to use my slow cooker for things other than making mulled wine once during the holidays. I got my slow cooker as a wedding present years ago and have only used it a handful of times. Several of my friends have praised the virtues of the slow cooker and I think they're right. So far, I've only used it on weekends since there is nothing on earth that could motivate me to get up even earlier on a work day. Morning and I are not friends.
This recipe looked so good (and idiot proof) that I served it to friends without trying it by myself first. Usually, I don't experiment on people. But, I did this time and they really liked it! I used my own combination of spices, as most people do when they make chili. I also added extra cheese because, well, cheese. One of my friends likes food so spicy that it would sear the tastebuds off a normal person, so I let him have some sri racha sauce on the side. :P
