It's sort of like what I always say about the Syrah/Shiraz thing: Syrah tends to be more subtle and complex, whereas Shiraz tends to be a (fruity/jammy) punch in the face. My chili (and my dad's even more so) tends to be a punch in the face. That's not necessarily a good/better thing for most people, and I think often complexity/subtlety is lost in all the aggressive spicing and figurative face-punching. =)emmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154686946588678005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233058818245130072.post-50933662774500244762009-01-12T19:59:00.000-08:002009-01-12T19:59:00.000-08:00Your chili comment is funny.

I grew up in the midwest, and that's my dad's recipe. I'm glad you came over and ate some, and you really picked up Guitar Hero quickly! I hope your trip to Boston goes well.Max Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750470822030032683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233058818245130072.post-45198595605273665962009-01-12T15:48:00.000-08:002009-01-12T15:48:00.000-08:00The dreaded cornbread . . . this one actually tast...The dreaded cornbread . . . this one actually tasted a lot better the next day.
