Goodness! You just got me in the mood for chili tonight. Unfortunantly, Ive only got some canned chili

I will be making my own chili sometime in the near future though!

Someday, I will make the same chili in this video.

Yep, that's the way it is around my house, I end up making one for me and one for the rest of the family. Surprisingly the 2 Jalapenos, 3 Anaheim chiles, 3 Poblano chiles variation can be about the mildest.
