Nuts to You

Fri., September 10, 2004

Andie’s chili recipe includes cashews. Does that strike you as strange? They’re not bad, but tend to absorb the soup’s moisture and expand, like they do in leftover Chinese food.

We discussed this and she usually adds them later in the cooking process so they stay firm, but that still doesn’t account for the cashews present in the leftovers, which happily expand within their snug Tupperware containment. Maybe if the cashews were not included in the cooking process at all and merely added at the individual soupeater’s discretion, as one might add crumbled saltines to one’s soup.

On the other hand, that’s some tasty chili.

who knew that putting cashews in my chili would be so controversial?!
