chili...excellent. who knew it was so easy. we will have to make it more often. i'll have to try throwing in tofu next time. and more hot peppers.

to taste...pecan pie with filling from Williams-Sonoma. so we soak the jar in hot water to loosen up the filling, except the paper tears and we are perplexed as to the recommended temperature at which to bake this pie. good thing we can see the numbers...165 F. good thing our house is stocked with cookbooks. good thing the Essential Vegetarian Cookbook has conversions in the back cover. good thing we are so smart from all the college edumacation that we noticed that the top of the paragraph began...Preheat oven to 325 C (165 F)

Dude...so smart. SMRT.
