Browned some beef short ribs for the chili
Took some dried chilis and simmered them in stock to reconstitute, then toasted some cumin, clove, and coriander, ground that up, and blended it all together with tomato paste and some chocolate, coffee, soy sauce, and worcestershire to get a chili base (this is all basically Kenji's recipe)
Had an Italian Pilsner while I did it all
