made cupcakes today :)

totally remember making cupcakes for q on his birthday and james cut his lip on the aluminum of the wrapper.

also made chili and cornbread tonight.

show last night ruled. glad everyone was laid back. plan on seeing forfeit on their small tour with outbreak in two weeks in fort wayne. they have the venue listened and i haven't been able to find an address to match up with it. i remember one time someone telling me about this place and you have to stop in town and ask for directions. sounds sweet. cruel hand, mother of mercy and bracewar are going to be in indianapolis next week at the dojo, which rules because i'm pretty sure it's a practice space. should be a good show.


recipe for the chili :)
1 package smart ground original (lightlife, very good and very affordable)
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 cup green pepper (chopped)
1 cup celery sliced
15 oz can kidney beans
15 oz can black beans
2 16 oz cans of tomatoes (cut up)
6 oz can tomato paste
2 clove garlic minced
1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
3 tsp salt
2 TBSP cooking oil

saute the onion, green pepper, and celery. if you have a crockpot, that's awesome and you can put the rest of the ingredients in there and let sit for an hour or an hour and a half. if not, just put in a large saucepan and cook it on medium heat for the same amount of time :)
