It’s all about the beans, right? Like these gorgeous calypso beans that remind me of whales. Right? Wrong. Chili is all about being cold. And hating it. That’s my forte.
For Christmas this year, the kiddos got this guy, Cat Stevens.
But the problem is, they also got this guy. Snoop Dogg. My nemesis. Yeah, I know he’s cute. I’m a horrible person. I’ve accepted it. The ultimate lover of cold and snow, he requires us to take him out into it several times a day, even if it’s -24 degrees and windy. Because he doesn’t understand how to use a toilet.
To be fair, I knew what I was getting into when I moved to Minnesota. But I also never thought I’d be repeatedly dragged around my yard through the snow and ice by a horse-sized “puppy.” I’m cold a lot these days. Even my soul is cold now. And it requires chili to warm it back up. I have had many, many irrational cravings for chili in the past few weeks. So I tried a few riffs on the classic.

And yes, those are the same beans that looked like whales when they were raw. I’d be sad that they don’t look like whales anymore, except that they taste so great when they’re cooked. I guess you can’t have your whale beans and eat them too.
So whether you want a traditional bowl of Texas red or something a little more far-fetched, go ahead, knock off the chill with some chili. And try to find the whale beans — beautiful and enjoyable both raw and cooked, cold and hot. Maybe one day I’ll feel the same way about Minnesota (and the dog) as I do about the whale beans.
