With solid hardwood cabinets, any chance you could get away with just changing the doors and countertops to upgrade the look? Didn't fly when we did ours, but thought I'd ask

Not possible with the radiused cabinets. Also I'd prefer ceiling height and they're mounted under soffits and want drawer sliders and stuff.

I did propose the option of tearing everything out and keeping but painting them but wife said if it's all coming out they're not going back in.

Nice areas and not so nice. Small town atmosphere with 50K in the city and about 130K altogether. A mix of modern and rustic. Town square, courthouse park and Whiskey Row are scenic. Lots of view properties in the hills at 5300 ft. And four seasons with very little snow. Worth a look.

And if you are coming to Phx...bring your own water.

Why would put you put beans in chili. Chili beans are a thing, right.

Then the would belong in chili. How is this hard?

Now the upper Midwest version with noodles, I understand the apprehension.

Auto Shop Moment of The day.

Guy apparently stopped during mid Fall and was told he needed tires. Would hacost him between $600-$625. Said he’d save his money and buy them in the Spring.

Over the weekend, his bald tires gave up the ghost and hit the curb harrrrrd.

Two new wheels, four tires, alignment and other assorted goodies. All in for the Winter Curbed Enthusiasm…… $3,660.

Is that a cheese head thing? We don't add pasta to chili down here. I know the Cincinnati folk pour it on spaghetti, but southern OH is a special kinda crazy

Adding macaroni noodles to chili is a WI (other areas?) thing but not always. Probably a leftover thing form the old days to stretch a food budget. I don't make it with noodles.

Ground beef
Stew meat
Peppers
Onions
Garlic
Can of Rotel diced tomatoes and chillies
Diced tomatoes and/or crushed tomato (from a can)
Blend of tomato sauce and paste (from a can) to get to the desired consistency
Typical chili seasonings & hot sauce to desired heat level.

Let it stew in a crock pot for the day, then eat topped with shredded cheese and jalapeno slices. Corn bread or saltines.

Even though it's good the day of, it's even better the following day(s) when given some rest to let everything meld. Usually make a big batch, eat some day of put the rest in the fridge overnight to age then freeze in smaller single serving portions for lunches and stuff.

Well... at least the mascot won't be canceled unless the legumes feel that they are under represented.

Hey - I was in Chicago on business a couple of years ago (pre-covidpocalypse). I stopped in a pizzaria that had chili pizza. I didn't try it mainly because it just looked wrong. lol

I like chili, I like pizza but they should not mix.

Been seeing cauliflower pizza crust and chickpea pizza crust pizzas in the frozen pizza section at grocery stores lately. I haven't tried either one so I can't honestly comment on how they taste but don't really have an urge to try one. This makes no sense to me unless someone has dietary issues with typical pizza crusts. Maybe I'm missing something but cauliflower pizza crust... WTF?

I blame Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, and the Clintons.

That nut is highly poisonous with possible symptoms all the way up to paralysis and death. FEAR the nut! Do NOT put the nut in your mouth!

(FYI autocorrect tried to screw me hard on this one, changing all nuts to buts)

And yes, due to incredible foresight or maybe just plain luck, mascot is relatively woke resistant, barring a complaint from the Sierra Club

Wisconsin thing. Heard it was done in Minnesota too. Recipes differ. Was raised on chili with elbow macaroni in it. Restaurants often pour it over spaghetti. It started during the Great Depression. The noodles filled the tummy more completely when food and money were short.

Thought noodles went in all chilis.

Was in an unfamiliar part of the country and saw chili on the menu. They asked if I wanted red or green. Phfft. I’m not stupid. Red is red hot- ordered the green.

First taste was a full spoonful. It wasn’t a lovin’ spoonful. Was sure they poisoned me.

Chili means something different in Gallup, New Mexico.
