Veggie Chili and Corn Bread

 What is that falling from the sky?  Could it be rain?  After months of warm sunshine we are experiencing our first taste of winter.  Lord knows we need the rain.  People are walking around outside looking up to the sky in disbelief like geese getting their faces and nostrils wet.  Let us hope that people are smarter than geese and will come in out of the rain should the rain get into their nostrils and drown.  

Somehow, I don't think humanity is that smart.

It's soup and chili season.  Today I'm making my famous veggie chili and cornbread.  The vegetables are all from the garden, which makes it extra gooooooooood.  The cornbread is baked in the same 150 year old cast iron skillet that made the prairie trip west.  

Food is such a great distraction from the political vitriol that is rampant this election season.  I can't bear to watch the news nor read the newspaper any more as the media only fans the flames of the us vs. them mentality.  Truth = Both sides are corrupt AF.  The media is denouncing violence against politicians.  They don't see their hand in perpetuating it.  They love the ratings when people tune into the latest shocking event, but hate the impact of same event perpetuating even more shocking events.  Sorry, media, you can't have it both ways.  

Yes, we are experiencing a flash point in our nation's history.  However, tell me of a revolution that was borne without violence.
