Solace in spice

As I unwind and settle down from a very busy day I cannot wait to get in bed.  My throat hurts, my eyes are heavy and all I can dream of are cozy pajamas and the warmth under my heavy down comforter.  To my dismay, the weather nor my workload seem to be getting any better this week.

I'm a little hungry after all the energy I've exerted studying, and after an unsuccessful rummage through my kitchen I've concluded a bowl of chili seems to be the only thing that would ultimately satisfy my taste buds.  Unfortunately, I have neither the energy nor the resources to craft chili at this hour, but I'm happy to share my favorite recipe.  This recipe is my dad's and I think I'll put in a request for this when I'm home on break this weekend.

There is nothing better than a warm, spicy, flavorful bowl of chili.

As a relatively dissatisfying substitute, I've resulted to some throat losengers and a cup of tea.

Goodnight everyone.
