Our son wanted me to make a pan of thin cornbread to go with the chili..

.
                                           The clank of the spoon
                                         Against the full chili bowl
                                            Tonight gas fills room

Daver Austin Date: 11/1/2011 3:21:00 PM Oh, that chili looks so good, but now you're talking my BIG stomach problems - "Tonight gas fills room." Yes! Great Senryu. Love, daver Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/1/2011 2:49:00 PM Sara, the potato pancakes really are delicious, but I can't eat them if they are made from leftover mashed potatoes. This is one of only a few potato dishes I like. I'd be happy to share the recipe. If you make them without flour, they're not as solid, but taste just as good! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/1/2011 12:59:00 PM Can't stop laughing at the last line, Sara. Very funny indeed! I love homemade corn bread but you can let someone else eat the chili. LOL Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
