This was one of those days where I decided to cook something. Today I decided to try something new, chili verde. Now, for you gringos, that is green chili. Most people are familiar with the normal red chili, but I would wager that quite a few have not had a good bowl of chili verde. The main ingredients, aside from the meat, are poblano peppers and tomatillos, both green in color. As you might expect, the resulting chili is green in color and very different tasting. You can heat it up with cayenne or jalapenos. As part of the ceremonies involved with cooking a meal, I find it nice to have a glass of beer. Sometimes more than a glass. As I poured my Shiner Wild Hare beer into the Saint Arnold's glass, I got to wondering whether that is acceptable practice. Can you mix brands of beer like this. Well, yes you can as long as both beers are Texas beers. Shiner is from Shiner, TX and St. Arnold's is brewed here in Houston. Make no mistake, however, don't even think of pouring Sam Adams, Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada or Rolling Rock in a St. Arnold's glass. That is gauche beyond belief. I would never do it. Honest. Just not done.
