Chili recipe
1lb of turkey meat
1 can of Del Monte diced tomatoes with green chili’s
1 can of diced tomatoes
2 cans of dark red kidney beans, drained
½ teaspoon of basil
5 teaspoons of chili powder
1/8 teaspoon of black pepper
1 tablespoon of garlic
1 yellow onion
Brown turkey meat with diced onion, black pepper, and garlic. Drain meat. Add both cans of tomatoes and drained kidney beans, basil, and chili powder. Bring to a boil the turn down to a simmer for 20-30 minutes.
Ways to kill time while the chili simmers: read a book, watch a 30 minute TV show, have sex ;-) If for whatever reason your chosen activity runs long that's ok, the longer it simmers the better it tastes.
Honestly I prefer the last option but you are free to do what you like.

"Your balls Mr. Darcy?"
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
First off I have to say I love Pride and Prejudice, I read it every couple of years and it always fills me with a feeling of happiness and contentment. If I had seen this adaption in any other mood then the one I had been in when I first saw it I might have been offended at the idea of them taking a book I love and defiling it with zombies. Instead I purchased it and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
The addition of the walking dead and their quest for brains give the book a hilarious twist. Countless times I found myself bursting out with laughter. *SPOILER* The part where Elizabeth fights off the ninjas and rips one of their hearts out only to then begin eating it is so tremendously funny. Even more amusing is the conversation held about Mr. Darcy’s balls. :-p
This is a book I would highly recommend to anyone who loved the original. Even with the addition of zombies the classic story shines through and is not lost amid all the blood and gore.

The Slayer of Vampires
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV Series)
I really enjoyed watching this show, enough so that I went out and bought the comic books just to see what happened next. Since I waited until after the show had aired I got to sit down and watch the entire series from start to finish and I have to say that’s really the best way to watch suspenseful TV show. Lol
It was interesting to watch as the characters developed, not many shows can get their characters to evolve like they did on this show. You saw each episode after each triumph or defeat how it affected them.
Buffy became stronger as a leader and realized that you can’t always choose your loved ones over the good of the world, she made tough decisions and I guess woke up to what life really was as a Slayer. The fact that she had to make those decisions though made her expect the same from those around her and they weren’t as strong, her attitude towards her “Scooby gang” could be very harsh when they failed her, though she almost always apologized when she had cooled down.
Willow was a great character to watch grow. You got to see her blossom when she became friends with Buffy. She went from being a sidekick, basically, to being a powerful witch who was capable of handling herself on her own. She was even able to admit when she had a problem and work towards controlling it. It was nice to see her find her place in the world.
Xander was probably my favorite character, no matter what the situation he was always there to help and provide a note of humor to a dire situation. Once Willow became a witch he often felt like the useless one, and the evil elements liked to make him think so; but he was able to see his friends for who they really where, just a couple of young adults having to face impossible circumstances. He listened when they needed him and could sense when there was a problem in someone’s life. He was the backbone of the group.
Dawn’s character, to be honest annoyed the shit out of me until the last season. She was a normal teenager that acted like the world revolved around her. When she finally grew out of that phase it was a welcome change. She became a watcher in training and she was very good at it. For a time, at least, she found her place in the group.
I could go on about the other characters, Giles, Spike, etc… but I won’t. This was a great TV show, something I would recommend to anyone who likes strong female roles and a supernatural environment. What makes it even better is that the comics take the story even further. They are able to do so much more now that they aren’t bound by a reality.
P.S.
Best episode was “Once More with Feeling” made me sing and laugh.
