"From Pillsbury (Cheesy Chorizo Chili), with a few modifications. The canned chipotle chile can be substituted with 1/2 tsp ground chipotle powder if desired. This had a nice slow after-burn made as is; if you like it spicier, add additional chipotles or chipotle powder. Be sure to use the Mexican style fresh chorizo not the Spanish style smoked chorizo."

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
