The gourmet chili with red wine recipe cost between $65 and $75 in ingredients alone, but it doesn't need to be that expensive. The red wine added a great flavor and the peppers caused a slow, burning aftertaste that was quite satisfying.
Aaron said he wanted to make chili. I said fine (this went on for a few weeks – he really wanted to try to customize his own gourmet chili recipe). It ended up costing $65 to $70 for the ingredients alone, making me wonder why everything we do tends to be in excess. Now, this is a good trait in some regards (we obsessively built our first online business, which was a great foundation due to the stream of earnings it provided us to invest in other things), and the same goes when we start any project, from launching a new company to buying shares of our favorite businesses. So, the trait has served us well, but sometimes I think we tend to go a bit overboard.
How The Gourmet Chili Tastes
It was the oddest thing, because this particular gourmet chili spread out from the center of your tongue and you could taste it all the way around the edges of your mouth with nothing in the center, then there was a hot, slow burn in aftertaste due to the chili peppers. The red wine added a great flavor. It was unlike any other gourmet chili I’ve had so it’s difficult to describe, but it was certainly well received by most, with a few people calling it “amazing” and “unbelievable”.
