Recipe Notes

Chilis and stews may be our favorite things to cook. Partly because they are so simple: one pot; dump and stir.

"Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know."
