Yes,it is. Better hurry up and get it . . . it might not last!

Huh. They were probably better before they made the trip for your place to mine, but mine tastes an awful lot like a brown-sugar cinnamon pop tart.
Not to say those aren't good--just not compared to a cinnamon roll.

Well, you are just going to have to come visit your brother(?) in DC, then take the US-301 scenic route south, and stop on by before proceeding to Richmond (I-95) and Petersburg (I-85). We will make some special, just for you.

Good morning, Gary. You can certainly have a roll if you get here before they are gone. You have a slightly better chance at one than Marija, unless she's already approaching the coast.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Zoe is making this very hard -- I am standing at the desk, bent over the computer while she comfortably naps on my chair. Kitties!

And no, I will not move her.

Well, I'm still waiting for official results, but I already know for sure that B5 boss did NOT win the part of the chili cookoff that would have sent her to the citywide competition.
We had two categories; the official judging, done by two people outside the transit system and then a People's Choice.
The official judges are the ones who decide who goes on to the city competition, and I already know what their vote was, so she didn't get that.

I'd be highly surprised if she gets the People's Choice either, even though it was a blind taste test, so theoretically nobody knew who had made which chili.
But she made a very mild, sweet Cincinnati chili and it's just NOT what people tend to like around here. She was boasting about her chili last week, that we would find out what "good" chili was, like she was gonna edumacate us dumb Southerners.
But we know what we like in our chili and it ain't cinnamon and allspice. Those belong in the sweet rolls and pies!

The rest of them were all really good. Only one hot enough for me to even tell it was spicy though. A couple of veggie versions, one with sausage, one with deer meat, one with lamb--which was better than I expected, and one with a mixture of meats, including BEAR meat.

Well, we put cinnamon in ours. And red wine. And cayenne pepper - both kinds - dry and wet cayenne pepper sauce. And chili style diced tomatoes (meaning there are chili peppers in with them).

Maybe she will get knocked down a couple of pegs. Glad to see you didn't need bail, though if she's that bad, I bet a lot of folks there would bail you out.

allspice and cinnamon. I used those in pumpkin pie.
I'm used to tex-mex chili
the spicier the better

if it don't burn your eyebrows off, it ain't hot enough.

I want to make a chili with goat but I'm not sure where to find it around here.

Close - if it don't burn your (other end), it's stew.

Of course not! How could you disturb a sleeping kitty?

I have HAD chili with cinnamon in it that I liked okay, but only when it was just a touch and then there was still plenty of "spice" to it, which it sounds like yours has. This was a very mild, sweet tasting chili.

And I'm with Astro; I like a chili with enough "flame" to it that I can use it for jet fuel if necessary.

That's actually why I didn't enter the competition. I like things so spicy that I have no ability to discern whether it's too spicy for the average person, and so I tend to make chili that could set someone's palate ablaze.

I'm a dumb Northerner and even I know that chili needs to be spicy!

But all this talk about allspice and cinnamon, and I had to go get a piece of my sweet potato pie!
