\u00a0After five years of living in Wisconsin, I’ve finally broken down and bought a parka.\u00a0 They are hideous.\u00a0 It’s pretty much the uniform around here this time of the year.\u00a0 In a sea of mostly black and brown “tree stump”\u00a0 uniforms, I chose to purchase one that is citron yellow, hip length, and cinches at the waist.\u00a0 The fur lining\u00a0around the hood is another matter.\u00a0 Upon unwrapping the box, my dog Ollie started barking like crazy and was very curious.\u00a0 I deduced that he thought it was a\u00a0tasty dead squirrel\u00a0on a citron yellow bed.\u00a0 I wanted to return it, until the other day.\u00a0 It was extremely cold outside.\u00a0 None of my jackets were warm enough and I had to go to my belly dance class.\u00a0 I hesitantly put the parka on and pulled the hood over my head.\u00a0 One step, two steps, out in the blustery and snowy night, I felt perfectly warm!\u00a0 I realized that I\u00a0had never owned\u00a0a warm enough jacket.\u00a0 I still don’t really like it\u00a0but I resign to its comfort.\u00a0 Wisconsin winter, you win.\u00a0 What does this have to do with venison chili?\u00a0 Absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n

Venison chili is nice to eat on a cold winter night.\u00a0 It’s deer hunting season and we got some steaks as a gift from our lovely friend Christy<\/a> (also provider of our Thanksgiving chicken<\/a>).\u00a0 I think it was her cousin who hunted it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
