It's been a long tradition at the Roediger House to have some sort of chili gathering at the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday time. In some years, it's been a friendly competition with a number of folks and quite a few pots of chili. Lately, it seems to have greatly reduced in size and is now simply a gathering of friends with one or more pots of chili to choose from. This year, owing to sickness running through some of the regular crew, there were four happy souls to sit and enjoy my most standard chili...this time without the kidney beans.
Still had the delicious sweet cornbread and also had some southwestern dip, which has become sort of scarce in these parts.

January 15th was another cold winter day in Winston-Salem, and I'd slept rather cold the night before. I got a fire going mid-morning and kept it going all day long.
