I’ve gotten to thinking that Superbowl Sunday is also “official chili making day”. There seem to be a lot of Chili Cook-offs on Superbowl Sunday and per people who poll these sorts of things, it is in the top 4 or 5 “Superbowl Foods”. It makes for flexible meal times, eat when you like and can feed a crowd. This particular version uses boneless beef shortribs and after the 3+ hour braise, is melt-in-your mouth tender. It you are in to chili variations, this is definitely one to try!

Today’s foodie theme is a Superbowl Challenge! I decided to come up with two savory and two sweet things that symbolize the (Northeast) New England Patriots and the (So Cal) Los Angeles Rams. Thiis wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be because … well, evidently I know very little about what is “typical” food in LA. For the “savory component for The Southern Left Coast, I decided to go with Fish Tacos with Quick Pickled Toppings, Cabbage, Avocado and Cilantro. Yummy but a total pain in the neck to eat!
I’ve been feeling sick with a cold the last few days, so comfort food was on deck — with a bit of spice to clear the sinuses. This Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Soup was the perfect thing. Extremely flavorful, hearty and I added a bit of extra red pepper flakes so definitely spicy. Served with baguette with lots of cheddar cheese. Perfect thing for an “under the weather” January day.
