Friday night my friends and I continued our cultural explorations of food. This time I made Cincinnati Style Chili for them – with some help from my Grandma who shipped me the Cincinnati Chili seasonings.
I cooked spaghetti, chopped onions, grated Irish cheddar cheese (it is almost impossible to get cheddar cheese here for some reason – it’s strange), and cooked the chili. My gosh the chili smelled so wonderful! It smelled like home! It also made the whole floor of the building smell like chili, but that was okay. No one was upset by it. When it was all ready I showed everyone how to make 3-ways or 4-ways depending on their preferences. We finished off the meal with mints since you can’t eat Skyline without a York Peppermint Patty afterwards (or a close substitute since there are no Yorks here).
After dinner some of us stayed around and watched the classic movie “Muppet Treasure Island” that someone happened to have. We also baked cookies and sang along with a guitar (or hummed along in my case). It was a really great night – very relaxed.
While I enjoyed my Cincinnati chili very much I’m looking forward to the real stuff in 22 days!
Love,
Elizabeth

I of course am most impressed by the lovely 2-liter of coke on the table. Did you tell your intercultural friends that the skyline people, despite their chili excellence, have NO taste in soft drinks, the pepsi freaks!
Hi Elizabeth! Hope your friends liked Syline. I think it's kind of an acquired taste. Rob was up this weekend and I don't think Christie or Ben had Skyline . They tried to open 1 up there in Lexington but it didn't catch on. Hope schoolis good. Keep up the good work! Frank
