A day for Chilli

Good afternoon my fabulous followers! I have just arrived back at home. I was out earlier to go to my long awaited dental appointment. Was so excited to finally get this over with, as it has been a long time coming. When I arrived at the office I was informed, to my utter shock and amazement, that somehow I had gotten the time wrong. Now I have to head back in two weeks! What a pain. Mommy brain I guess. EVERTHING must be written down in order to remember.
While out and about I had noticed quite a chill in the air. Being that we live in Northern frozen Alberta, not a surprising find. Though I do feel that a chill in the air is a day for some chilli. So be prepared for my super awesome chilli recipe tonight. I am going to pull some ground beef and some ground pork out of the freezer and prepare.
I wonder why it is that someone would call this dish chilli? It is not served cold, or "chilly" and I imagine it would be rather hideous if it were to be served in that manner.....so where did this name originate? I leave you readers,to ponder this and/or research this odd question that frequently pops up in my somewhat foggy mind......
