Made a pot of homemade matzah ball soup for a chilly NYC day.

Someone wondered if we use any other part of the matzah… 😃

Have a pot of chili bubbling away. Discovered too late that I don’t have any ‘regular’ chili powder, only chipotle chili powder, so… we’ll see how it turns out.

If you’re in a Hispanic mood, pozole stew (kind of like menudo, but with less tripe and more hominy).

If you’re in an Asian mood, egg-drop soup or hot-and-sour soup.

Hot.

It will turn out hot.

I use chipotle in a ratio of 1:10 to ancho or mulato when I make chili con carne, and I’m careful not to overdo it.

Serve with icy cold mugs of tequila, or a gallon of whole milk, in order to wash the chipotle off of your tongue.

It does have a heck of a kick, but it’s good!  
Sadly, no alcohol or milk allowed, so I’ll just sit here and sweat!

Hot chocolate

Hard cider warmed in the microwave

Reading this thread I had no idea Chili was considered a winter dish. I’d never associated with with the weather.

I guess for me, grilled cheese reminds me of winter. My mom would make that in winter, but thats probably a personal preference. She’d also make toasted peanut butter and honey sandwiches with lettuce. Those were good.
