Mini chicken pot pies

Pot pies are great. Like I mentioned in the post below, I like the idea of warm, hearty meals. They're gooey, can be eaten in a bowl and topped with a flaky dough. But there's always the issue of transport. If you don't have 20 individual ramekins, it's difficult to do a satisfying pot pie.

Chili verde

There's a place in Seattle called Slim's Last Chance. It was featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and my date on Saturday was telling me how good their chili is. I admitted to him what I had never said out loud before--I don't love chili.
