I was going to travel to Texas for Christmas, but weather and other factors interfered with my plans. Since I took several days off from work, one luxury I have is time. It's too damn cold (-3ºF/-19ºC) to go anywhere, and the state police have closed half the roads anyways.

#chili? #nixtamal #cabbage
And the result of yesterday’s nixtamalization! Something in between chili and pozole: five chili varieties, cabbages the nixtamal/hominy, leeks, uh, carrots. Aaaaaand uhhhhh so I went to the store and they didn’t have beans? So to round out the amino acids I used the only legume I had. Try and guess! Also other spices and yadda yadda
