Happiness In A Can

One of the best things about moving to a new state is the opportunity for culinary adventures.  These can be knock-your-socks-off experiences, such as having your first Wawa hoagie, or as disappointing as a shitty diner waitress. There are a lot of foods we haven't tried yet here, such as apizza or Gassosa from Foxon Park sodas. But sometimes, you just miss the food from home.

So it was with great anticipation that we opened our first care package from my sister a few days ago.  We'd been craving chili dogs, and what we found wasn't cutting it.  Nothing can compete with Wolf Brand Chili! So she sent us six cans, which is more than enough to last a while. 

The outline of Texas on the label means it's full of yummy goodness.

And it's perfect for frito pie.  For my Connecticut friends, it's the easiest meal in the world: chili, fritos, and shredded cheese.  You can jazz it up with onions, jalapeños, or other stuff, but it's best to keep it to five ingredients or less.

The thumb is optional, except for the meat-lover's version.

Thank you, Traci, for sending us a little piece of home!
