Chili, Julia, and Wyatt

It doesn't get any better than chili and cornbread on the Sunday after Thanksgiving during an unexpected Vikings win, unless you have shared that time w/ your oldest son, his wife and their son, my 2nd and youngest grandchild, Wyatt, who is six months old. There is nothing more special than that.

Leftover chili rivals leftover turkey for leftover eating possibilities. A favorite of mine is a chili cheese omelet. The filling (chili) is ready to use - no chopping and dicing and sauteeing is necessary. Heat the chili in the microwave. Make your omelet in a frying pan. Use almost any cheese. Garnish w/ a generous dollop of sour cream.

Julia Child taught me how to make an omelet on her PBS TV cooking show. She used butter in her pan on med to med high heat and when the butter melts and the " bubbles subside,"( a most Julia-like phrase), you add the egg mixture, which may have a little(tsp) water in it. It still works.
