Thank you! Really good, extremely deep, rich flavour! I shared some with a couple of friends and they were impressed too. I kind of looked at it as a mini course in chili making, as I've looked at every recipe I've made from the In Search of Perfection books, as a way to learn ideas that I can apply to my cooking in general.

I finally made Heston Blumenthal's chili recipe (minus the cornbread and sour cream ice cream,and swapping out one of the chile powders from the blend)

Creole White Beans, with (not home made) potato bread

Chicken and Andouille gumbo

I thought so as well! Definitely an idea that I'll be using again whenever I have a jar of them.

Pasta with chicken cooked in oil from a jar of sun dried tomatoes, with a sauce of tomato puree, stock, cream, shallots, Parmesan, sun dried tomatoes, and fresh basil. Evidently, this is called Marry Me Pasta.

Pulled pork burrito with pinto beans, rice, salsa and red cabbage with chipotle sour cream sauce. Side of steamed asparagus with a sprinkling of umeboshi vinegar.

yeah, I had mentioned that they had the somali, but the next part was in regards to the Devil's Penis (note the quoted text above the part by me), that Spice Shop has Devils Penis but it's sold out.

The Spice Shop site has a Somali, I'm guessing that's the one as he mentions them in the book. Ordering from there. I was thinking that or something of similar heat if I can't find them. Spice Shop had them listed but they're sold out. Closest I've come to finding them so far. I usually like to follow the recipe the first time, and then adjust it from there. I do plan to focus mostly on the chili itself, and make my own corn muffins. I'm more doing this to learn from the recipe and see what I can apply from it to my own chili making. I've made other In Search of Perfection recipes and have each one has taught me something.
