gategrrlWell, the vegetarian chili I made last night from a recipe in the South Beach Diet Supercharged book was a massive Fail. Even I couldn't finish the two cups I spooned out into my bowl. It lacked flavor, the texture just wasn't...there. I think I should have chopped the mushrooms up even further than the big slices they came in. Maybe I was supposed to add in cayenne pepper and didn't see it on the page?
To make a bad chili worse, because we ran out of Goldy's wet dog food, which I mix with his dry or he won't eat it (yes, I spoil him a bit), I mixed some of the chili in with his dry food. Unfortunately, it wasn't until he looked *really unhappy* and uncomfortable that I remembered that onions are NOT GOOD for dogs. There were plenty of onions in the chili. And beans. And garlic is considered deadly for dogs, too. Mushrooms, a main part of the chili--aren't good either. Poor dog had massive, RIPPING gas about half an hour after he ate. He was panting and clearly not feeling well. Fortunately he seems better today, but I'm keeping an eye out on him. He's "seeping" at the moment.
Neither of the kids tried it, either. I don't understand. Last time I made it, it came out pretty good.
