This post begins a series on fine arts. I plan on publishing photos and techniques for some of my cooking.

Here is a chili I made recently.

Begin with some Swiss chard, two jalapeno banana peppers, some green stem onions, and mushrooms. Chop them as shown and fry them in olive oil in a pan. Then fry some hamburger. Mix in some chili beans and a tomato pasta sauce, and you have  a wonderful chili. The jalapeno peppers add a nice spicy zing to the dish. The photos below tell part of the story.

The peppers were bought at the local farmer’s market. (Madison’s farmer’s market is one of the best in the nation.) They are organic, so I included the seeds with the chopped peppers. This makes the dish warm to hot. You can feel the slight burn of the peppers on your hands after you have finished eating!

The final meal was fantastic! I like hamburger and there is a lot you can do with it.
