+# Not John Bosworth's Chili Recipe
+John Bosworth is an old-school Texan bid-ness [sic] man with an
+infectious southern charm. He's a character in *Halt and Catch Fire*,
+a TV show that follows a colourful cast of characters navigating the
+tides of the early American tech industry. Affectionately known as
+"Boz" in the show, his sweet talking and rugged humor make him one of
+my favorite characters.
+
+Towards the end of the series, Boz makes his famous chili recipe to
+sooth some grieving souls[^1]. The TV food looked delicious enough to
+make me wonder if it were a real recipe. Had "Boz" actually made his
+chili? Or perhaps the recipe belonged to the actor, a director,
+writer, or cast member. I dug but didn't find anything anything about
+this little television culinary artifact. Nevertheless moved by the
+hypothetical food stuff, I decided to make an inspired version of the
+recipe. But there's a twist: the recipe includes the one ingredient
+Bosworth vehemently claims doesn't belong in any chili the world over:
+cinnamon. I added it to tease the old feller! In my imaginary world,
+Boz comes over to my house for dinner, loves my chili, and learns
+about the heretical secret ingredient :)
+
+## Ingredients
+Toasted spice mix
+- 1 tablespoon cumin
+- 1 teaspoon green peppercorns
+- 1 teaspoon black pepper
+- 1 habanero chili pepper
+- 2 thai chili peppers
+
+Everything else
+- 2 tablespoons animal lard, like bacon fat
+- 5 gloves garlic, minced
+- 1 cup of finely diced onion
+- 1 teaspoon dark cocoa powder
+- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
+- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder[^2]
+- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
+- 1 teaspoon salt
+- 1 cup black beans, drained
+- 1 cup corn kernels
+- 1 lbs ground beef
+- 1 can of crushed tomatoes (about 750ml)
+- 1 can of 0.5% blonde lager (355ml)
+
+## Directions
+Toast the cumin, green peppercorns, and black pepper in a pan until
+they become darkened and fragrant. Remove and set aside. Remove stems
+from habanero and thai chili peppers, then toast in pan until they
+become blackened in spots. Remove and add to spice mix. Put both into
+a mortal and pestle or spice blender. Blend.
+
+Heat 1 tablespoon of the lard in a high-sided enamel cooking pan, like a
+Crueset braiser, or a stainless steel pot. (Don't use cast iron, which
+can react with the tomatoes to make a metallic taste.) Add the
+beef. Separate with a wooden spoon, retaining plenty of nice big 1"
+chunks. Cook until the exterior browns and the interior remains red.
+Transfer to a dish. Remove most of the beef fat from the pan.
+
+Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of lard in pan. Add onions and gently
+sweat. Don't let them get browned. When they are shiny and slimy add
+in the garlic and your toasted spice mix. Stir for a minute or
+so. Pour in about a quarter of the beer. Use a pan-appropriate utensil
+(i.e.: silicone or wood in enamel) to scrape the tasty bits from the
+base of the pan. Add remaining beer, then add beef, beans, salt,
+sugar, cinnamon, cocoa powder, chili powder, and tomato. Simmer, never
+boil, partially covered for ~10 minutes. Add in the corn kernels. Let
+everything cook for as long as your appetite has time to spare: as
+little as 10 minutes or as much as an hour.
+
+Before serving taste for adjustments: Too acidic? Add sugar. Not
+enough flavor? Add salt. Missing earthy undertones? Add a wee bit
+(1/8 t or less at a time) more cocoa.
