weird chili

Today I wanted to make chili, so I did. But I forgot the tomatoes. Chili without tomatoes just doesn't work for me. The other thing that made it weird was the mushrooms. I wanted fake meat in it, and I decided that mushrooms can be kind of like fake meat. But the mushrooms combined with the lack of tomatoes just made it really weird. I added a can of tomatoes after dinner, so it will be better subsequent meals. Is it okay to use "subsequent" in this way? Maybe I just mean "future."
