Chili con carne with burnt ends from a brisket cook.

Toast and grind cumin. It makes a big difference.

I don’t like using chili powder because I feel it gets oxidized even if I agree with the blend of peppers.

Stew away

Then store in the fridge overnight.

That chili looks delish!

Made my first “tarte au citron” today. So far so good (tasted the lemon curd already. It’s good.) The color is just from the lemon juice & zest and the egg yolks. Surprisingly intense.

@JDelage nice! sucker for deserts that aren’t overly sweet. a citrus tart is about as good as it gets.

[JDelage]

So that tart was very good and a lot easier than I expected. I used the David Leibovitz recipe and the curd is close too perfect - just the right amount of sweet & tart. It could do with a tad less yolk, but it wasn't that bad (sometimes curds get very eggy, that one wasn't.) The crust was meh, I would probably use a different crust recipe (but the crust isn't the critical part here.)
