This is how you make chili.
Walk down into a valley, with some nice trees and plants about.
Be sure to bring your dog.
Arrive at a riverbank.
Gather some driftwood sticks from about the sand and from within the woods nearby.
Break them into manageable sizes, and sort them by thickness.
Because it may be damp from a rain the night before, make sure you make a platform of dried sticks.
Use a piece of cotton wool to catch a spark from a ferrocerium rod.
Construct a pot hanger.
Put the chili over the fire.
Heat.
Stir.
Use a wooden spoon.
Eat.
Watch a heron and a duck fly over head.
Go home.
