Judy asks: Cinnamon in chili?
See below. Note the recommendation "Cinnamon (easy early, add more if
needed later)."
I was not following the harmless recipe below. Still, it's worth noting
that a profusion of rosemary and oregano can sometimes skew one's sense
of "if needed later." Skew as in obliterate.
The result may be a Krakatoa of hypercinnamonization, a relentlessly
caustic convergence of oversupplied nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and black
pepper.
Shortly thereafter, federal agents may burst through your door,
confiscate the chili and your recipe, and classify both as a secret
weapons project without even offering royalties or a buyout.
