That chili recipe looks pretty good, ...
...but I would suggest a few minor tweaks. One or more small cans of chopped green chiles (mild ones are fine) will add a certain "green-ness" to the chile that I find quite appealing. You might also consider the possibility of substituting a can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chiles for one of the cans of tomatoes. Tomatillo salsa will also do in a pinch.

And by the way...
...though the issue hasn't yet come up, it is worthwhile noting that habañeros and the like are chiles (with an 'e'); chili (with an 'i') is the dish you make with them.

What can I say?
Living in New Mexico makes me snobby about this sort of thing. :)

I don't even read the KoF strip anymore. I just come right here and provide food for the starving.
I hope I've made a lot of new Kukuburi fans.
Also check out Sin Titulo, The Abominable Charles Christopher and Papercuts.

Is nowhere safe...
... from the ubiquitous NM chile snobs?
Seriously, I would expand into more chilEs in my chilI but my wife is sensitive to them... she loves them but alas, it is unrequited.
Anyway, I am from Rochester where "Chili" is pronounced CHY-lye. Don't ask. It's all I can do to get people to stop looking at me funny and saying, "Well, if it's chili, where're the beans?"

Oh, I know, I have been blessed a couple of times myself. But I was asking about the chartreuse-framed ones after my name.

stupid and banal as usual
all the possibilities--for drama, for humor, for absurdity...and they came up with what?
none of the above.
part of the problem is the whole laziness of the creators. Last week, we saw the panel with the inner ear canal analogy, and in the next panel saw Kansas writing this page, with the picture of the ear included, into her diary.
This week, they have her diary, in which last week she supposedly wrote flat out "I am a spy", and they hold it up and ask, "are you a spy"?
Is this just a disconnect? Is it supposed to be funny?
We don't know. It's too carelessly put together.
Hate it. Kill it now.
Or next week, put her in the men's section of the prison (like, is that an option or something? The cop seems to feel a need to specify the women's section. If he doesn't, do they toss a gal into the guy's side? or what?), so she has to seduce her way out, Modesty Blaise style. Sticking the little pug-nosed dream into the slammer with the boys can't fail to be entertaining, no matter how badly it's done.
But I bet they'll find a way to make it...well, stupid and dull.

Improving KOF
Is there some way to link to the comments directly, so they show up instead of the strip?
-
OK, so it's agreed...
...we'll meet here next week, same Bat-time, same Bat-channel. And, hopefully, we can ignore that asinine attempt at a comic strip. See yah!

Right!
The deep link should be
