Five Alarm

Rain. All. Day. Bone-chilling cold, of course. And one of my daughters has been out playing and refereeing at a lacrosse tournament in this mess for the last six hours. She's going to be one shivering wet puppy when she gets in.

So I've got a five-alarm cure. Homemade white bean chicken chili is simmering on the stove and fresh bread is warming in the oven. My oldest also baked real American-style chocolate chip cookies.

If it's going to be a yukky Sunday outside, at least we'll be feasting inside. Light the candels and pour the wine. Join us at the table and you'll soon be feeling fine!

PS - This is the chili recipe I use as a guideline. With a little extra fire :)
