They're kind of flat and brown around the edges. My chocolate chip cookies look much better. And that last comment reminds me that it's time to make some chocolate chunk gingernaps, which is a kick-ass recipe courtesy of friend J Bubbles. These things rule. Oh, and Clair, it pains me to say this, but a potato roll probably isn't a good idea for the hot dog recipe. The mashed potatoes would ooze out if you used a roll.

I also know of a few super secret recipe sites that I can check out ;) Howard, didn't you read the post? It was about a woman and her gingersnap cookie recipe. Sheesh. Also, my pictures aren't as on topic lately since the camera is kaput and I have to rely on Microsoft clipart (which is sorely lacking in the chili category).

You sucked me in with the chocolate chip cookie photo, and then, no cookies. What's the world coming to? Why no cookie talk?

What’s the world coming to?

Too long! For a top notch, public domain alternative, ATK's <a href="http://americastestkitchen.com/recipe.asp?recipeids=70&#38;iSeason=4" rel="nofollow">Beef Chili with Bacon and Black Beans</a> is freaking awesome! Oh wait, there might be meat in that one...for vegetarian chili, you can't beat <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/107481" rel="nofollow">this</a>. Well, maybe you can, but I'd have to kill you if I told you.... How long do you have to date somebody? Too long!

I like to call it Chunky Chili with Beans Roadhouse style.... Seriously, the Chunky chili are that bad. As Sherri said above, sometimes the homemade chili does not come out quite the same every time. Don't tell my wife that however... I have a killer chili recipe and it extremely easy to make! I like to call it Chunky Chili with Beans Roadhouse style….

What if you use potato rolls, would that be too much? So do you put the hot dogs on a roll or eat them as is? What if you use potato rolls, would that be too much?

Sassy, who said anything about Type E? Remember, for blog purposes, this is a <em>hypothetical</em> scenario. I can't find the link anymore, but my favorite chili competition story is one where somebody went around the contest with a big bowl and put in one spoonful of each contestant's chili (which was out for sampling). This person entered the bowl of mixed up chili and got the best chili award (he 'fessed up). Clair, use your own judgement (I know it’s hard, but try).

Each batch gets the old "a little of this a little of that" treatment. It's always good, but there's no stable RECIPE to speak of....

I have never understood withholding culinary knowledge (unless you are a professional chef or baker)--sharing means there is a high chance your friend will make something you know you already like so you don't have to. And hypothetically, it is interesting that Type E has been silent on this post. Maybe it's time to have a blog contest for best chili recipe. Secret schmecret.
