I had white turkey chili for dinner.

Well, it had beans in it--white northern beans--so I guess that technically it was chili-flavored soup.

But it was a pretty good way to use Thanksgiving leftovers.

That sounds like a delicious soup.  I'd eat it.

It had onions, garlic, and Hatch green chiles.  My esposita added jalapeno slices (stadium nachos-style) to the recipe.  It was good.  I had seconds.

I like the white bean "chili", whatever it is, I like it a lot.

We had salmon last night, grilled.  I prefer steelhead trout.

Really nice day here today, sunny and in the 70s.  We'll dine out somewhere for lunch.  It's great to have a sequence of days like this in December.

sunny and in the 60s here with little wind

another day on the golf course

it's much more unusual here and therefore more appreciated, of course

I'll have a ham & cheese sammich on the way to the course.  That will soak up a couple Budweisers.

It's sunny and 60s right now, it'll be 77 today.  Gonna be 80 on Sunday.  

But yes, we often get stretches like this in December.  And January.  And February.

Many years back I went water-skiing on a Saturday in February, when the high temp hit 97.  The lake was in the upper 50s though, so you had plenty of incentive not to fall down...

I got the "chili" simmering already, be eating about 7:30.  

onion diced  garlic 3 cloves  ground beef, a pound 3 cans of tomatoes diced.  I didn't have any bell pepper which I often use.  My friend's homemade chili powder.  Some salt and pepper.  Simmer 3 hours.  Serve over rice, if you like it that way.

I'm cooking rice now.

I'm glad we had this little chat.

When I was in officer candidate school at Fort Benning, GA., in Jan 1980, we had to cross Victory Pond on a "1-rope-bridge."  That means a rope in the water from one side of the pond to the other side.  I suppose that it was 100 yards or more to the other side.  The water temp was 51.  That was very, very cold.  The air temp was about 40, so it was not much of an improvement when we got out.  I think there were some trash-barrel fires for warming.

Yeah, a lot of folks don't realize how the relative thermal conductivity of water versus air, affects the body.  Relatively long exposure to 70-degree water can result in hypothermia, while exposure to 70-degree air isn't going to do that. 

I vaguely recall from my SCUBA classes that water removes heat from the human body around 4x as fast as air.  But don't quote me on that.

And I'm not a chemical or mechanical engineer, so I never took Thermodynamics.  Sorry. :)

Water at 70°F feels pretty cold, to me.  Thermal capacity and density are two factors.

I'm always fascinated seeing mammals thriving in ice cold waters.  Water has so many strange properties and it's a good thing ice is less dense than water.

Yup. Life on Earth as we know it probably wouldn't exist without this property.
