I, too, put cumin in my chili. Makes all the difference. Entertaining story, as always!

Aww, Amie, what a super post and a very kind shout out to mine (“scooping the story” indeed!). At first I forgot this was a redux of your mother’s column and thought, “oh no, Amie doesn’t want any more recipes!” But then I was laughing out loud at Karyl’s tale of getting married and having no idea how to cook. Such an entertaining read—and a super classic meat chili to make for the Oscars. I’ll be giving it a try. Thanks, dear friend. You’re my mentor too.🥰

Keep the recipes coming! Even if I don’t make them all, reading a recipe or a cookbook is comfort food!

Will do, Amie! And I agree. Reading recipes is pure popcorn!
