Simple Pleasures: Chili in a Thermos

It finally feels like autumn here in Pennsylvania. Leaves change; acorns crunch underfoot; the air chills my face. I wake up so excited to pack my lunch. In particular, I love cold days with a thermos full of steaming chili. I look forward to hot tea in the evenings, all the soups, and all the warm blankets. If you need a great chili recipe, I don’t have one. I just dump things in that sound good. This time, I added charred corn, chipotle chili powder, and several poblano peppers to various beans, tomatoes and ground beef. I threw in some onions and made it too spicy with jalapeño. Add some chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika, and you’ve got your chili!
