February 5th: Slow Cooker Chili

 I picked out this slow cooker chili recipe because it kept popping up and because it was a short slow cooker recipe meaning it wouldn't work on a day I went to work, but it would be perfect for a day when I had lots to do. I made it with impossible meat because I wasn't sure if Nuala was going to be eating with us or not. I loved it, but there was a problem. Immediately after eating it, Watts started to get this congestion, sneezing thing that has happened before. We've decided he must have some kind of food allergy, but we haven't figured out to what yet. Then I had a light bulb moment. The last time it happened in the recent past it was when he ate Brookies I made. The common denominator between the two recipes? Cocoa powder. I have no idea if that's the problem, but I do think we're onto something. Something weird, for sure, but still something.
