When I have time, I enjoy cooking chili. But I’m no chef. In fact, only recently have I started to ignore recipes and experiment a bit. I’ve learned that if you cut back on the cayenne pepper, you might actually be able to taste some of the other ingredients. Someday, I just might stumble onto a breakthrough chili innovation!

Anyone can run an experiment — just go try something and see what happens. That’s how I approach chili. Over time, I suspect that my judgment about what works and what doesn’t is probably getting better. And for family meals, that is good enough. If I do something disastrous, the family can temporarily survive on mac and cheese.
