For Super Bowl Sunday at my brother-in-law's I decided to try to make chili. It had to be gluten-free (for husband and BIL). For day's I looked for recipes and found none that I liked. I decided to use ingredients that I saw in the various recipes and created my own. Everyone seemed to like it. I just started throwing beef, beans, spices, etc. in the crock pot and just tested it all day and added more spices as needed. I don't think I could recreate it exactly if I tried. My husb. did try to help when I was out of the house. He put hot red pepper in and made it WAY to spicy. I spent the rest of the day to cool it down without real success. I can't let him near the crock pot again. I'll admit we only went to the party for the company. We are not big football fans. We did enjoy some of the commercials and the kids always like to get together. My daughter even took her boyfriend along to meet some of the family for the first time.
Now we are in the midst of a stomach bug. Both kids came down with it within an hour of each other and of course it always start during the night. My daughter actually ended up in the ER with severe dehydration. She passed out repeatedly in my arms and looked as white as a ghost. I hope I never have to go through that again. Next week the kids have a week off and I hope it is a quiet one.
