Fuss? Misgivings?

[Muddled]

What is that about?

Why are you worried about the pumpkin chili?

[smock]

Pumpkin chili sounds weird.

[Muddled]

You sound weird.

[smock]

Well YOU sound like a falafel-butt!

[Muddled]

You want to eat my butt, don't you?

STAY AWAY, SMOCK!!!

I could go for a falafel right now.

[smock]

Broc is a butt eater!!!!!!

And Muddled, I guess you'll have to read Candide and come to TIP BC next month to find out!

:Y:
But not falafel butt.

I dunno why the misgivings. I mean, it tastes like someone made a chili float with a scoop of pumpkin ice cream floating in it.

I used real pumpkin, fresh ground nutmeg and allspice. It's just all very ... viscerally pumpkinny

I'm hoping some number if hours in the crock pot will settle things down in there.

Diced pumpkin? It's not sweet, is it? Pumpkin ice cream makes me think sweet.

OMG he is running downhill around a bend in those heels. I have got to watch that movie... even if for no other reason than to see Tim Curry rock the heels.

This is all based on an assumption (formed by the undergarments and freaky hair) that that is Rocky Horror Picture Show.

No just real pumpkinny! More like a sweet roasted squash situation than super sweet like ice cream. I didn't even add any sugar called for in the recipe because there is already sugar in the canned tomato sauce.

I mean like one half of my mouth is enjoying chili while the other half is straight up in pumpkintown.

I need some reassurance from PinkSquirrel.

Add more paprika/chili powder/spice. There needs to be a balance between the pumpkin spices and the regular chili spices. I started off with too much of the pumpkin business going on and wasn't sure I was going to want to eat the chili until I played around with the spices and ended up with one of my favorites ever

Ah thanks for the advice, PS! I will cumin-bomb it when I get home. I am using the recipe you recommended.

[Muddled]

I was going to say cumin and corriander.
