Aunt Lynn's Chili

This is my favorite chili recipe. It's a standard chili-con-carne-e-frijoles. I know, half of you (ahem, Texans) reject beans and/or ground beef in chili, but this is the way I like it. The addition of corn or hominy is also really good.

Charge your iPhone 7 and use wired 3.5mm 'phones at the same time. Maybe.

Now you can charge your iPhone 7/Plus and use your beloved 3.5mm adapter-having analog-audio-interfaced device at the same time. Maybe. If you're someone who still needs to do that.

Bloody Mary, Extra Bloody

My go-to drink recipe for parties and brunches. It's always popular. I've spent some time refining the recipe so you don't have to, but please riff of of it and make it yours. That's the point of the Bloody Mary, I think.

Adjusting the banner image height on Squarespace

Not all Squarespace templates allow you to adjust the height of banner images using the Style Editor. For those that don't, a little custom CSS will do the trick.

Movie Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Don't watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The fake accents are insufferable and ruin any chance of suspending disbelief. Also, it's too long.

Veggie Tacos

My favorite vegetarian recipe. Make rich, flavorful, filling tacos with whatever vegetables you have on hand. A little cumin adds that savory satisfaction you want and need.
