I use cocoa, a smidge of cinnamon and honey in my turkey chili every time. I tend to get heavy handed with my chili powders (esp ancho and chipotle, yum) and the honey seems to mellow the spice. I don't know if you could identify any one of those ingredients in the final dish, just makes it better.

I've never really thought about eating alone as lonely. I find cooking relaxing so I enjoy eating the spoils of my labor. I WOULD enjoy having someone else do the dishes though.

I have some classic pieces similar to this I've been holding on to just to get reupholstered at some point. If anyone knows of some great upholstery shops in Chicago, I'd love to hear it!

I've managed to grow Meyer lemons and Key limes in a pot on my balcony in Chicago! I brought them in for the Winter and they held up. I'm still a beginner when it comes to plants so if I can do it, anyone can!
