Chili has been in the slow cooker since 9 this morning. My wife also made cornbread. The whole house is filled with the fragrance coming from the kitchen. The dog and I have been salivating together all day. As with Indian food, chili is another area where my wife and I have a 'conflict' over heat. She goes for a 2 out of 10, while I'm a solid 8. When she makes chili it's always a 2; when I make it we compromise and it's a ... 2. Seventeen years ago I tossed one little Scotch Bonnet into the pot and I still hear about how I can't be trusted with peppers. The good news is that because I can't be trusted she's the one who spends an hour chopping things each time we have chili.
The best news of all is that we've been married 26 years and this is our biggest conflict.

Went old school last night, to the Gordon Grill at the Goodwood Park Hotel. It's a fine old building, dating from 1900, originally the club house for the Teutonic Club, and also served as a residence for the occupying Japanese in WW2. The Gordon Grill, as its name suggests, does steaks. I noticed a couple of diners nearby had fish, why, why, why? Go to a seafood restaurant! Anyway, we had steak.
They bring a cart to the table with slabs of meat - a couple of USDA lumps, sirloin and ribeye, Margaret River Aussie grass fed rib eye and fillet, and some Wagyu choices. You choose your meat and the guy slices it off and sends it to the kitchen. It returns, properly seasoned and grilled over charcoal to the correct doneness. As an aside, the Ministry of Health here as decreed salt A Bad Thing so generally anything cooked by a local is woefully under-seasoned but here either they never got the MoH memo or they have a foreign chef who knows where the salt is kept.
For the record, Mrs P had 220g USDA ribeye, I had 300g Aussie ribeye. Mine was slightly better in texture and flavour, but slightly more expensive $2.20 per g against $2.80 per g.
To finish we had Crepes Suzette flambed at the table by a true showman, which I haven't seen done in years, superb.

It has finally cooled a bit. So I braised short ribs and steamed some new potatoes, followed by a tossed salad of arugula, spinach, onions, beets, olives, and vinaigrette.
Last night was a fall favorite- roasted butternut squash pureed with mascarpone and Pecorino Romano then tossed with Italian sausage, rigatoni noodles and sage leaves fried in brown butter.
