Cinfully Good Chili
“Growing up an army brat with family scattered from Texas to Michigan to Florida and Georgia, I was introduced to a wide variety of foods from all over. My yankee family made bland chili that seemed more tomatoes than anything. It was good but something was missing. My Texas cousins made it so hot you couldn’t taste it. The Floridians put curry in it, and well, that just ain’t right. I don’t think the clan in Georgia made any. I began a mission for the perfect blend of these dishes and by the time I was thirty, I was pretty well known for my chili.” – Cynthia
