Game Day Eve

I love Thursday nights.  Its not every Thursday, but by random selection, certain Thursdays are more special than others.

Soaking beans...
Diced tomatoes...
Slow cooked...
Added spices...

~verb

to be in a state of subdued or restrained activity

Every Friday home game, we gather at the lunch table at school to celebrate Game Day.  It is a great way to end the work week and catch up with each other in a subdued, but brief encounter.  Each one of these "special" Thursday nights, I love to come up with a creative recipe to bring to work.  On this particular Thursday night, I was super proud of my chili, born from a bowl of soaking beans and some tomato paste. 

After 6 hours on the stovetop, it was even better poured over a hotdog at lunch the next day.  Yummy!
