This new PCP was pretty blase about the whole thing; my previous,

with the stuff for this very reason.

Magnesium again.

Time kills.

I looked up "time kills him who kills time," out of curiosity.
As of today it's a Googlewhack.

whatever you think will taste awesome with this

Cut open the peppers and shake out the seeds. Toast
the peppers in a dry frying pan until they begin to
soften. Put them in a bowl with the boiling water
and allow to soak until they are very soft.

Toast the coriander and cumin seeds in the same dry
skillet until fragrant. Transfer to a blender along
with the peppers and their soaking liquid, salt,
cinnamon, chipotle powder, chipotles in adobo, and
cocoa powder. Puree until smooth and set aside.

Season the beef cheeks with salt and pepper and set
aside. Heat some oil in your chili pot and brown
the cheeks on each side. Remove the cheeks from the
pot and set aside.

Add a bit more oil to the pot if needed and add the
chopped onions. Cook until translucent and then add
the garlic, oregano and cook until fragrant. Add
the tomato paste off to the side and allow to cook 1
min on its own before mixing into the onion mixture.

Return the beef cheeks to the pot with accumulated
juices, then add the chile puree and the tomatoes,
crushing them a bit more. Add the beer and broth
and cover simmer over low heat for 3 or 4 hr (until
the cheeks are super tender). If you want you can
make the chili ahead of time up to this point if
you don't want to go all the way

Add the masa harina (it thickens things and adds
some corny flavour) and the beans to the pot and
allow the beans to heat through. Add more salt if
needed and stir in the lime juice off the heat.
Ladle into bowls and top with the mixins.
