Let There Be Chili

Hello Everybody,

Yesterday the lentils sprouts weren't long enough. This morning like magic the sprouts were one inch long. Tonight was a big bowl of chili for dinner. I've prepared chili from Alissa Cohen's "Living on Line Foods" many times. Now, I'm comfortable adding my own creation of ingredients and spices. My version of chili has two types of sprouted grains, lentils, my favorite veggies and spices . Here is the chili recipe to prepare from Alissa Cohen.

CHILI
4 cups of sprouted barley
1/2 teaspoon curry
2 tablesppons Bragg Liquid Aminos
1 medium green pepper, diced
1/4 cup small red onion, diced
1 ear of corn, shaved from Cobb
1/2 cup chill powder
1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup of honey
1 cup water
1/2 cup olive oil
2 oranges, juiced
10 medium to large tomatoes, diced small
1 small onion
1 cup dates, pitted and soaked
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked

In a very large bowl mix together the barley, curry and Bragg liquid Aminos, green bell pepper, red onion and corn.
To the above mixture add in the chili powder, Italian seasoning, cayenne, garlic, honey, water, olive oil, oranges and tomatoes.
In a food processor, blend the dates, onion and sun-dried tomatoes into a thick paste.
Remove from the food processor. Add this paste to the bowl with the other ingredients and stir until well mixed.
Enjoy!

Some one made a remark " I hope you are not lying to yourself". No offense was taken. Raw Foods is still viewed as radical and you stand out like a sore thumb. People look at me as is if I had two heads. Believe me, I would need a hospital if I sat down and ate a large plate of cooked food. A year ago I experimented with a large plate of rice and beans. I wanted to see what would happen to me. WHOA , I was in a fetus position most of the night with painful cramps. The next morning I was constipated . I felt like I had rock at the bottom of my abdomen. Never, never again.




I found these vintage wool knickers over the summer at Rags-A-Go Go. Great for the fall. I know it is hard to see the button at the knee where it fastens.
