   Seems like Mike is the one who needs to roam free for some more time, and also out of town … Rhetta probably understands that she might not be his final choice in a partner. Priorities …

   in German that one goes: Wer nie sein Brot im Bette aß, weiß nicht wie Krümel pieksen. Who never ate one’s bread in bed, does not know crumbles prick.

   Sweet memory: When I was in my late teens or early twens and going out late there were rare occasions my father spoiled me with breakfast in bed :D

   Lawrence, since I live in Europe and never been to Central America I’d like to ask you something.

   My question to you: I sometimes use some dark chocolate as spice, and actually I and my family do like that – is that something traditional or completely made up by (european) cooking ?

   also I never use shredded cheese – Is that something normally done ? chili has so much taste – I think the cheese would actually drown that. Sounds more like for kids, who add cheese and/or ketchup to anything and then eat it.

   f ppl like it less spicy I give greek yoghurt or sour cream instead. I think that fits better to the peppers and I like it myself this way.

   II also do put in some more effort when cooking. I found the onion powder most odd – but thats different story. And I am with u: sugar should actually not be needed, expecially when using tomatos or even tomato paste.

   still i would not be as strict as you: better cook it this way yourself instead of using canned food every day … simple cooking helps a lot to come through the week, and I use a lot of quick recipies myself (ok, without replacing onions by powder :) )

   I had to check on onion powder, I did not know this exists. Cooking chili (or curries or … any other stew) without ‘normal’ onions (or garlic) seems odd to me – but probably still better than always having canned food or eating out.

   Imho It is a sad story that asking ppl to cut onions is already overwhelming – but I saw that egg powder is sold too, …
