Something is Missing

Doug started the pot o' beans this morning. After he gets it going I always take over. Today it seemed like all the basic ingredients were there, but I just could not put my finger on what was missing. So I tried adding more chicken bouillon, a bunch of chopped parsley, some tomato sauce... but still something was awry. Finally the ah-ha moment came—I forgot the almighty chili powder! I added a heaping spoonful, and indeed we now have something edible for lunch—I will serve up with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkling of cilantro. Right now.
