Cocoa Chili

In your honor, today's all about the bittersweet flavors of chocolate

So Angie, I thought I'd start us off with a chocolate-infused chili. You are going to chop the garlic

I need about three cloves. Okay. I want you to de-seed jalapenos

Thank you. I'm so sorry. That's terrible to do that to your guests, but look

You're smiling. I got some rubbers. So you just put those on, honey, if you can get it over that

Okay. That mind that you're wearing on your hand. Really? Okay, yeah

And while you're doing that, I'm going to chop us some onions. I found out that you live in Charlotte

Yes, ma'am, I do. I thought you lived in L.A., maybe. I've got three daughters

I know. They're my little beauties. I want to see them. Do they look like mama

Is that true? Wait, am I dicing these or am I chomping or what am I doing? Yeah, it just meant something

Okay, got it. Okay. I told Jay, I was like, do not ask me about my personal life

That is not? Uh-huh. Why? Because I'm a private person and I'm, you know

Oh, my gosh. And I come right out and start asking. No, it's okay. It's okay

Oddly, I feel like I could just sit here and tell you anything. You can, and I won't tell a soul

But it was... I will not tell a soul. Just not one person. Yeah, no, I had no idea he was there

So you were sitting there on the sofa with Jay. Yes, and Jay starts talking about this man that I'm dating

And finally he goes, do you think he'd come out here? And I was like, what? I was no longer the southern lady

I was like, I beg your pardon? Uh-huh. No. And then out walks Jason. No

Yeah. He comes out and I remember he was shaking and I was like and you can hear me shaking It the only time I ever seen him nervous You can hear me through gritty teeth What are you doing All of a sudden you turn vangilicus

Like that! And right then and there, he dropped on one knee and asked me to marry him

And it took me 16 seconds to say yes. Oh no, that's a long time in TV language

I know, I know. 16. Bended knee. Oh no. Yeah. Poor baby

I'm fixing to add one tablespoon plus two teaspoons, Angie, of chili powder

Okay. I'm going to add one tablespoon of cumin. Oh, that's good

All right. So we're going to stir that up. So toss in your jalapenos, baby

Just throw them in there. And I'm going to add two tablespoons of our cocoa

After you're done throwing in the ranch beans, can you add me a teaspoon of oregano

a half a teaspoon of red pepper. Do you like hot stuff

Yes. Love it. So, what's your favorite eating? I have a big range, but it's usually whatever you've got on the show that day

Yeah. Woo-hoo. Now, is it everything? Is that juice and everything? Yes

So, honey, while you're dealing with the ranch beans, I'm going to just finish chopping up this jalapeno

Then I'm going to need you to add one teaspoon of oregano and one teaspoon of cayenne pepper, okay

That looks amazing. Yes. All right, now, I want you to open that can of diced tomatoes

Yes, ma'am. Dump in the black beans Okay And then over here I got four cups of tomato sauce two cups of beef broth Okay So I gonna pour all that in Tomatoes going

rinsed and drained. You actually started out as a model, didn't you, Angie? I did

I did. Both my parents were models. No. What did they model

I mean, they were more, I would say, print and, you know, things like that

But also, it was a different time. You know what I mean? It wasn't about the supermodels. Right

It wasn't such a big thing. Right. That's totally the way it was with my Uncle Bob

Yeah. Poor Uncle Bob. Poor Uncle Bob. He had a mad affair with Carol Burnett
