Cincinnati chili!

I followed the recipe linked below. I had never had this before, and I didn't really know what to expect, given how people seem to either love or hate this dish. It is definitely not what most Texans think of as chili, especially since it has flavors that would not usually be found in chili, like cloves and allspice and cinnamon. And chocolate. And brown sugar.

Most often it is served as a meat sauce over spaghetti, though some people put it on hot dogs (a "coney"), and that's what I did, making a "five-way", topped with cheese, chopped onions, and kidney beans.

Boston baked beans!

I had made Boston baked beans in a pressure cooker before and was pleased with the results, but I decided to use a traditional bean pot this time to see if there was a difference. I think that the bean pot version is decidedly better, and worth doing if you’ve got the time.

The recipe link is below.
