dinner time!! please try this!

     okay folks, during these cold winter months i have the perfect meal for you to make and enjoy! this meal is rich and hearty, full of bold flavor and substance, and is sure to leave you feeling satisfied until left overs the next day!
     ITS CHILI!!! but... this isnt your original chili that contains four ingredients; hamburger, beans, chili powder, and a tomato base, this is real hearty chili with an international flare! its called Jerk Turkey Chili with Fried Okra.
     OKAY PLEASE! i beg all of you, before you turn away at the sound of okra just read me out! this chili is the most amazing chili you will ever have! it has so many bold flavors your mouth and your brain will be in overdrive trying to comprehend what is going on! and then it is topped with the crispy fried okra to add a new texture you have never experienced before!
d: jerk; jamacian
d: fried okra; literally tastes like french fries!
     here is the link below along with an image i took from the first time i made it!
i would estimate it takes an 1.5-2 hours to make, depending on how quickly you can prepare the fresh vegies! i add one can of black beans to mine to make it a little more like the chili im use to. the recipe also calls for an indian ale but every time i have made this i just use any available micro brew that i have around.
     let me know if you try this! i PROMISE you will love it! make it on a sunday night and bring the left overs to work the next day, everyone around you will me dying to try a bite!
p.s. dont forget the corn bread :)
