My Famous Hubby?

Chris and I spent the day running errands and getting ready to have my family over this week for Christmas. After our 3rd trip to Costco in just 3 days Chris said he was done and asked if we could go home. I said yes but I just need to run by the grocery store so I can make dinner.

He makes me a deal. If I take him home before I go to the grocery store then he will make dinner. Woo Hoo! He says he will make his famous Chili. Famous Chili? If it is so famous then why have I never had it in the 9 years I have been with him? In fact the only Chili I have ever had that Chris made involved corn and mushrooms. It was more or less spaghetti sauce with spice. Oh well. I am tired and he is trying to be helpful so off to Market Street I go.

I get home from the store and Chirs is ready to make his not-famous-to-me Chili. I sit in the living room as he starts dicing, slicing and chopping. Somehow I fall asleep on the sofa only to wake up to a wonderful aroma coming from the kitchen. I think to myself... this famous chili must be pretty damn good because It smells devine. Has my hubby been holding out on me for all these years? Can Chris really cook? Maybe he will be willing to cook more often? Rock On.... I married a chef and I didn't even realize it. A million thoughts were going through my head.

I go to the kitchen to find he even set the table. Chris places a bowl of this yummy smelling goodness in front of me and I compliment him on how fantastic it looks. Then I grab my spoon and take the first bit. HOLY HELL is all I can think. Flames are shooting out of my nose and mouth. This stuff is so spicy that I think I am going to cry. Chris is sitting across from me with a smile on his face just waiting for my reaction. I look up at him, try my best to smile and and say "It's great.... just a little hot for me". He goes on and on about how delicious it is and I just don't have the heart to tell him that my insides are on fire. I add a little sour cream on top to cool it down and get a huge glass of ice water. Then I sat and enjoyed his famous Chili.

In m opinion here are the things that his Chili is famous for:

Famous for burning the taste buds off my tongue
Famous for giving me a stomach ulcer
Famous for what it will do to me in the next 24-hours
Famous for making me realize that my old hubby doesn't have any new tricks
Famous for making Chis feel happy that I liked his famous Chili

If you LOVE hot things then stop by the house I will hook you up with some of this stuff.
