After spending nearly 12 hours in bed, the Old Soldier is feeling a lot better. The gout in the right foot is nearly gone and the carpal tunnel in the right wrist is nearly gone. One of these days I’ll just go to the VA Hospital and have everything taken care of. The only bad thing about going to the VA is that they insist on running every test they can on you and then you find yourself going back again and again and again. It’s like joining a cult. Soon your life revolves around the hospital.
Well, with the bad weather today in Pittsburgh, it would be a great time to stay home with a cup or two of hot soup like I’m doing and work on your creative writing.
This is the Old Soldier reporting from the heart of Pitt Panther Country.

Chilli For Breakfast
Writing flash fiction and blogging can make a writer mighty hungry. The Old Soldier does his own cooking. Nothin’ fancy. Just good food to keep body and soul together.
Yesterday, the Old Soldier made chilli. First he peeled several pieces of garlic. Then he cut up a red pepper. And then he cut up two fat jalapeno peppers.
The garlic, red pepper and jalapenos went into a pan of slowly browning lean ground meat. Once the ground meat was brown it was drained and dumped into a crock pot of kidney beans and tomato sauce. Chilli powder was added and the concoction was allowed to cook.
Now, the Old Soldier can have a delicious meal any time during the next few days just by heating up a bowl of chilli.
