Meat, Beans, and lots of spices oh my!

My husband, bless his heart, made chili last night for the Annual Boeing chili contest. Every year he does it. Never in all the previous years, did it burn my eyes before though. We live in a larger house now. There is more places for the "aroma" to go, who would think I'd feel like my eyes were on fire. I told him around 9:30 or so that I had to go upstairs and go to bed. I opened the windows and put on the fan and closed the door. I hope I didn't offend him and ruin my chances of ever getting him to share some of the cooking. I'm sure it will taste awesome though. It's so cute when he cooks his chili.
