Jan has a hankering for chili. She pointed out that I have not made it in a long time—looking at my posts, not since February of last year. For Jan, chili means “chili with beans.”

Claudia’s Chili
Before I left home for the first time, I sat down with my mother’s recipe box and wrote down my favorite dishes. As I was making my chili California I had thought about using my mother’s recipe. I took it out and looked it over. I was surprised to find that it did not actually include any “chile.” I remember loving my mother’s “chili” as a child, but I am not sure I can call it “chili” any more—it was more of a German beef and beans.

Karl’s Cola de Buey en Chile Rojo (Oxtails in Red Chile Sauce)
I am making chili beans for Jan, but son-in-law Chris, is on a super low starch diet. I decided that I would make a beef chile for him (OK, it is for me too, I admit it). Normally I would use beef chuck for making carne con chili rojo. However, Chris really likes oxtail and I think this would go really well. For some reason, my recipe for Moroccan Oxtail is one of the most popular pages on my blog, so I do not think he is alone in this preference.

Karl’s Barbecued Moroccan Tri-tip
Jan and Chris both asked me to do another barbecued tri-tip. The last time I did a tri-tip I used a Californian-Mexican seasoning. This time I thought I would jump to another continent and do North African.

Karl’s Tri-tip Fajitas
Last Sunday I made Santa Maria barbecued tri-tip. By Tuesday I had only a scant half a pound of meat left. By itself it was not enough to use as a main dish, so I decided to stretch it with grilled peppers. Fajitas are seared peppers and can be made with any meat, something like a Mexican stir-fry.

Karl’s Santa Maria Barbecued Tri-tip
On the Fourth of July we went to a friend’s house for Santa Maria barbeque. Jan liked it so much that she asked me to make it this Sunday. A Santa Maria Barbecue is not complete without pinquito beans and Santa Maria style salsa.

Karl’s Apple Wood Smoked Teriyaki Tri-tip
Fanime is this weekend, so we have had a bunch of teenagers camped out on our living room floor. Our usual Sunday dinner got pushed to Memorial Day. Traditionally this holiday means barbecue. Jan asked for tri-tip.

Karl’s Game of Thrones Stuffed Meatloaf
Eilene is having friends over for Tuesday night shows and I always try to make something exotic for them. Looking at the recipes for Game of Thrones, they are either too simple, too complex, or take too long to make.

Karl’s Corn Beef Hash
One of the joys of a St. Patrick’s Day meal of corned beef and colcannon is having corned beef hash the next day. In New England, they add beets to make it “Red Flannel Hash.” Personally, I think this is gilding the lily and not something a Californian, like myself, would be inclined to do.

Karl’s Corned Beef and Cabbage
I have never been overly fond of corned beef and cabbage, but like most part Irish-Americans I have usually made it on St. Patrick’s Day. Part of the reason for this dislike was because, like most Americans, I would go to Safeway and buy the plastic package of bright red meat. This sour meat would be tossed in the pot with potatoes, carrots and cabbage to be boiled to death.
