C Meal C-quel

C is for Chi-chi-chi-chili.

C-ing as it is C-weeks, though not for much longer, I decided I ought to make chili. So I searched for a chili recipe with the most Cs in it I could find. I came across Chili con Carne topped with Cheddar Cheese and thought, with a C count of 5, that would do just find. I added some cornbread on the side for an additional C. Total C count: 6.


Chili con Carne topped with Cheese: A- The chili recipe was pretty straight forward and contained some valuables ces in it as well, including carrots, chili powder, cumin and I added cayenne as well. The result was tasty with a pleasant but not off-putting amount of heat. The cheese added a nice creamy element to it as it melted into the chili.

Cornbread
: C. Cooking confession: It came from a box. What can I say? Sometimes you find a box of cornbread mix in the cupboards above your counter that you forget you have even though you frequently hit your head on them and think, 'When did I buy this?' or, better, 'Did I even buy this?' I decided to make it because it's not everyday you find mystery cornbread in your cupboards that the previous owners of the house may have bought and not used before they died. It was pretty standard cornbread and actually not terrible to eat, but I have to give myself a lower grade since I basically cheated, but, hey, it's C-weeks so that's allowed. I should have been cheating since the start.
