This is probably a mistake, but I'm having a bowl of homemade chili with crackers. Of course, being an Ohio girl, I have been known to throw it down with spaghetti, onion, cheese and beans. This delicacy must be savored after 2AM and a lot of horsing around. To sell it in the freezer section is a sin.

Hey, Sun, this is the wrong thread but anyway, I took your advice that you weren't even giving me and started today (Monday?) by writing an affirmation about how I wanted the day to go-what I wanted to accomplish or manifest. I found the entire energy of the day was changed. I believe our minds "feed" on whatever we give them-negativity or positive vibes. What a good idea
 .

because I had never come across this particular combination before but it seems that the locals in Ohio are very passionate about this dish.

So..I am recipe testing today. Soup is on the menu.
On my cutting board I have fresh Ginger & Jalepeno. That just makes me happy. I want some Bok Choy but am going to improvise with shredded cabbage. One of my biggest challenges is getting a vegetable broth to be good and strong. Yet, as I work through developing recipes and trying to find what is the best in its class I am aware of my privilege and of how many people are going hungry right now or do not have access to good food. There is something that is very grounding for me in making a simple bowl of soup, which I do almost every day. I can appreciate a few simple ingredients, and be content with the that.

Next week I'm going to be serving at a food kitchen for Thanksgiving, before whatever I'm doing for dinner. I was thinking...in a way, taking care of ourselves with food to me is recognition that we have a great gift, not only our bodies but the food itself and for some of us, the gift of preparing it. While I know I can do more here to help hungry people (probably we all can), the least I can do is not squander what I've been blessed to receive-a healthy body and available good food ("good" as in nutritious). Not sure I'm expressing myself well, but by honoring myself with food, and taking care of my health by not forcing junk in, maybe that helps me better help others? I know there's a thought in there that moved me, but I'm having trouble getting it out so it makes sense  .

And behold, the recipe for Gui's Chili-I don't fool around with this.
2 lbs ground beef or turkey 2 cans kidney beans (can drain if too liquidy) 4 cans tomato sauce (standard size) 4 cans petite diced tomatoes (careful about how many spicy varieties there are now, in the small print) 1 packet mild taco seasoning 1 packet mild chili seasoning Simmer all this together on low heat, or in a warm crockpot for who the heck knows. It's even good to make it one day and serve it the next.
