Today is a chili day here. We have our heat on. This is what I'm fixing for dinner. Chili for a chili day! Will eat Chili for dinner and watch the Cardinals/Braves game. Hopefully the Cardinals will win. I'm sure there are plenty of Braves fans out there; but being from Southern Illinois I love the Cards! Anyway enjoy some Chili on this chili day whoever you root for! or if you don't watch sports you can still enjoy some Chili. It's gonna be yummy!
