Dinner Tonight....

It is official.


The brain cells are shrinking and disappearing from exsistance as I type.


Tonight, I was making dinner.


I had left over mexican chicken that I was reinventing as a mexican stew.


Two to three chicken breasts, 2 cans of tomatoes, a bag of corn and all sorts of seasonings invested in this meal.


One of those seasonings was chili powder.


We use chili powder quite a bit so I have a large container.


I also have the same large container of cinnamon.


(Uh huh, you know where this is going...)


So, I needed 1 teaspoon of chili powder.


It wasn't until the stew began to boil and fill the house with aroma that I realized instead of chili powder, I got cinnamon.


Mexican Chicken Stew made with a hearty dose of cinnamon.


I haven't ditched the dish yet... I have to taste it before I waste all that food.


But I'm pretty sure we'll be going out to eat tonight.


I tried............


Update... Already....
It just keeps getting better and better... As I was typing, I left the stew simmering. I just went to check on it to see if it is edible. If it was before leaving it to simmer ON HIGH, it's not now! What an interesting smell wafting through my house right now.

I'm taking the Scarlet approach... "I won't think about that today. I'll just have to think about that tomorrow."

Now, where are we going to eat!
