This weekend I got a bunch of friends together to make chili crisp with me because they all love it and I'm tired of doing it all in my own. It presented a couple challenges though. First, I decided to make a double recipe and split it three ways. There are lot's of respiratory irritants (chili powder and sliced shallots) in this recipe so there was constant coughing, sneezing, and crying (In retrospect, not the best idea to do with friends). We were also cooking at my friend's house rather than my kitchen. This was only a minor challenge in that I was in charge but unfamiliar with the equipment which led to some last second scrambling. And lastly, we started at 8PM which was a big mistake. We didn't finish until 11:30PM.

It was still a lot of fun and we all got something to show for it.
