Have you noticed I put a lot pictures in my blog? I found that my favorite blogs to read are the ones that have pictures. I must admit...I like books with pictures as well. So I am trying to include more images from my daily happenings.
I was able to get just about everything done on my to-do last night. I stopped by the store to pick up the groceries I needed and then went home to jumped on the treadmill for my 6 mile run. I was bummed to find that my treadmill is starting to have problems. It looks like the motor may be going out. Hmmm...$500 for a new motor!!! That's crazy.
I am going to be camping over the weekend with my parents, so I am decided to bring food for half of our meals. Unfortunately my wife has to stay home to study for her finals. So I choose to bring the food for Saturday's meals. Breakfast is going to be cereal, lunch is turkey hot dogs on wheat buns and dinner is chili.
I made a new chili recipe last night called "Emeril's Chuck Wagon Chili". It has 5 stars and has a difficulty level of EASY. I'm not a novice cook, but anything that requires over 20 ingredients shouldn't be labeled as easy…but luckily it wasn't hard to prepare. The only trouble I had was finding the ingredient masa harina??? Ralph's didn't have it, but Sprout's did (I love Sprout’s). From what I have read this is basically a corn meal (used for making tortillas or tamales).
All together the preparation and cooking time was about 2 hours. My boxer stood by my side the whole time waiting for anything to hit the floor. Can I have some daddy????
I have never had chili with chunked meat. This stuff was really good, but it does have a little zing to it.
I spent the rest of the night getting all of my camping stuff together. The worst part of camping is getting all of the stuff packed. It feels like it takes so much stuff. I guess if I was willing to rough it a little more I could go a little lighter. Good thing I have a truck!
As far as today’s workout, I will hit my CrossFit gym for the 5:30pm class. Then early to bed so I can be on the road at 5am.
Hope y’all (that’s for you Jess) have a great weekend.
Don't forget to get in on my Box O Stuff GIVEAWAY. The drawing is on Thanksgiving. Simply leave a comment here:

My favorite blogs are with pictures too! What did you use the masa for in the chili? Looks great!
You put it in towards the end, so I believe it is used to thicken up the chili.
Have a great time camping!! Thanks for the well wishes on the marathon--I'm excited!
I have a boxer too--they're the best!
That sounded really natural! :) You might have a touch of bumpkin in you after all.
Hope ya'll have fun this weekend! Send me the leftover chili you don't eat :) It's looks yummy!! That's sweet you are going with your parents, I bet they really enjoy the fact their youngin' still wants to spend time with them! Be safe!
We've made this chili before! It's really good and I love the fact that it has a zing to it.
I seem to be drawn to blogs with pics on them too. I have vowed to post more pics, but it never happens. I'm too lazy.
CHili ... got to love that
cool blog
That chili looks awesome! Might have to try making that sometime, hopefully the podunk stores in my area have masa harina (whatever the heck that is).
