Chili

So I had made chili over the weekend to throw in the crockpot for dinner on Monday. (See the recipe below ... it is soooo easy and really good! Shari - I saw your comments on the other post ... and I can relate. Bryan is definitely the cook in our household. Try this one - it might help redeem yourself!). Anyway, Cam actually had some of the leftovers a couple of times in his lunch. I asked him if it was warm enough in his thermos at lunch and he said "kind of." So I warmed it up a bit more the next time. I asked him if the temp was better, it was, and then asked him, "Did you use the crackers for your chili?" I might as well have been from Mars with the look he gave me ... he answers, "Nooo, I used my spoon ..."

Had to laugh on that one. So technical. I guess "use" wasn't the best word choice for my question ...
