Tacos and Magic – Food For Thought

Today I am making my Four Chili Tacos. I make this with regular Chili Powder, Ancho Chili Powder, Silk Chili, and Urfa Chili, as well as other ingredients like Mexican Oregano, Cumin, and so on. The REASON I make Four Chili seasoning is because….wait for it…. I happen to have four different types of Chili and if I don’t use them they will go bad.  Thats it.

If its good, I will write it down. If I ever write a cookbook I may include it. At which point people will go nuts trying to get all four Chilis. People will say “Without all four its not the real thing”. If its REALLY good and catches on, in a generation people will say “Can it even be called good or successful if all four Chilis are not there?”

If other recipes for Chili somehow get lost, it may leave the impression that you NEED all four Chilis to even make Tacos! Some young Chaos Chefs will make it with one or two Chilis, but people will condemn them for corrupting the tradition!

I mention this because that is how magic often works too.

Ingredients, Tools, and even length of Time – they all might just happen to be what people had available at the time.

Some Food For Thought.
