Yesterday The Husband made chili and it was SO GOOD. I took some with me to work for lunch today. He really makes good chili. It's got a southwest taste to it that I like a lot.

I got to use something that had been hiding in the back of the cabinet for about 7 years or so. Back when our son was going to preschool, we had to pack him a lunch each day. The teacher was not able to heat the food, so it had to be something they could eat cold or something that kept itself warm.

We got a couple of small wide-mouthed thermoses, thinking we'd send mac and cheese as part of the lunch rotation.

Our son did NOT like that. So the thermoses went in the cabinet and we sent cold food that year.

I dug one of those thermoses out today and put my chili in it. It stayed warm and did not leak, so I'm very pleased.

This is also why I can never throw anything away. Because I have had this type of experience more than once. It eventually came in handy. So now my brain feels vindicated in holding onto these things.

Anyway. I got chili for lunch and it was good.
