Just don't enjoy that pie like the guy in "American Pie"

On a serious note, I'm glad you made it back safe

Thanks for the service and I look forward to your new journal!

dougnukem · 01-21-2006, 08:06 AM

Thanks guys. We got pizza for dinner last night, and the wife is making my favorite tonight, chili. I could eat chili like everyday.

Archangel · 01-21-2006, 09:41 AM

MMmmmmmmmm, Pizza!!! I love chilli too, you should try the Taco Soup I recommended in BRother Pylon's journal I think it was!!! Tastes like Chilli, AND soup all in one!!!

Heres that soup recipe I was talking about my Friend!!!
I have increased the ingredients for a double batch, you can adjust to more/less for you!!!

2 pounds Ground beef (Turkey if you like)
Brown in a skillet w/onion (onion is optional)
Drain grease and put in a large pot
Add :
1 1/2 cups water
2 cans pinto beans (use all liquid from can)
2 cans ro-tel (diced tomatoes and green chillis) (use all liquid from can)
2 cans corn (use all liquid from can)
2 cans stewed tomatoes (use all liquid from can)
2 packs taco seasoning
2 packs ranch dressing/seasoning mix
mix/stir ingredients in large pot, cook on high for 1 hour, then let simmer for @ 3 hours
add salt,pepper, and garlic to taste

Side note: for less spicy, get the mild ro-tel

Hope you enjoy it, let me know my Friend!!!

Can you Post that in the receipe section?I had a hell of a time finding it a few weeks ago.

Burner02 · 01-21-2006, 08:57 PM

dam...now I'm hungry....

I could live on chili, PB& J's and steak....

Pylon · 01-21-2006, 09:35 PM

I said once there are few things in the world that wouldn't be improved by adding PB or ketchup. I still believe that...

boilermaker · 01-22-2006, 07:44 AM

How's it going, Nuke! Happy to be home?

dougnukem · 01-22-2006, 08:26 AM

Oh yea! Right now, I am holding my 4 month old daughter, while I type this. Thanks for that recipe Arch. Sounds yummy! I will be checking out plenty of the recipes around here. Picked up some new running shoes yesterday, to start doing cardio again this week. The gal at the store even showed me a unique way to tie shoes to help with my foot issues. (I have really wide front feet)

Pylon · 01-22-2006, 10:34 AM

Feel free to share that lacing lesson.

I've seen charts on how to lace up differently...forget where...I'm sure Mr. Google would have a good idea where though...

dougnukem · 01-22-2006, 10:03 PM

Let's see if I can actually explain this....

Take the laces inward instead of outward on the last set of holes, but leave a little loop on the outside. Now run the laces across your foot to the opposite loop. When you go to tug them, it will only tighten on the top of the shoe, and not the rest of the laces. Therefore, holding your foot down without cramping the lower part of your foot in the shoe. Make sense?

b_reed23 · 01-22-2006, 10:21 PM

doug...I am SO glad you made it home safe.....welcome back!

dougnukem · 01-23-2006, 06:04 PM

Well, I thought about going to the gym today. But a little too busy today. Maybe some other day.

They are coming to replace our significantly leaking water heater tomorrow, so no gym then. Planning on hitting the Commissary to stock up on some goodies to keep from letting my diet go to hell. So we will see.....
