I just got done putting together a big kettle of home made vegetable soup for supper. Love the smell in the house of it simmering on the stove all afternoon.
Decided to have Cincinnati Chili.
I actually never had ( or heard of ) Cincinnati chili before. What makes Cincinnati chili, Cincinnati chili ?

My holiday party specialty! Cincinnati chili is distinguished by ingredients such as cinnamon and allspice. It is actually Greek in origin (in some places in Virginia you'll find it on Greek restaurant menus as "Greek spaghetti sauce'"). It's ground meat in the sauce. Sometimes "wet" or "dry" (wet has more of the grease!). It is served by itself one-through-five ways:
Over spaghetti
With grated cheddar cheese
With chopped raw onion
With oyster crackers
I think the fifth is with kidney beans? Anyone know? I'll look it up
At a restaurant you can order it plain or with any combination of the above.

Aww, Charlie...you went to so much work. Glad your mother loved it, maybe after a couple more times your father will slowly learn to love it.
If he hasn't by now I doubt he ever will. But that is not even a point. You know some time you just it and say thank you for the effort that was made on your account. He kept criticizing everything. And that saying that he's not familiar with it, but was mean about. Last time I'm making an effort to make something nice for him.
