More cooking

Saturday 31 January 2009 at 8:46 pm.

A proper meal can make such a difference for my mental health. So can exercise. Or fresh air. So after a few days of staying inside, sitting on the couch, and too lazy to cook i changed things around. I started with dancing around my living room on Friday eve, going for a long walk this a.m. (didn't fall this time), and -finally- making my veggie chili (i was supposed to make that on Weds). Main reason: I need to empty my cupboards, fridge and freezer in 4 weeks. I hate throwing things away and my housemate won't use it (too healthy). I think i'll manage. 

But since the chili was a small success i thought i post the recipe for y'all:

Marinate 14 oz of crumbled tofu in a mixture of peanut butter (1 tbsp), soy sauce (1.5 tbsp), crushed clove of garlic, some chili paste, tomato paste (1 tbsp), and about 2 tbsp of water, for a few hours. 
Take the pinto beans you cooked the day before out of the fridge (about 1 -1.5 cup dried beans), dice up 1 onion and sauté this one in 1 tbsp of olive oil, add 1 jalepeno pepper (or the parts that are still usable), 1 bell pepper (i used a red one), 1 diced up carrot, 3 crushed cloves of garlic, 1 stick of celery, a lot of chili powder, a bit less of paprika powder, about the same amount of ground cumin, some oregano. Once it starts to soften add the marinated tofu and the pinto beans. Add a can of tomato's and the rest of the tomato paste together with a cup or 2 of water. Let the whole thing stew for another 15 mins and check for taste. When you feel it's ok for you (the softness of the veggies and the spicyness, top with fresh parsley and serve (maybe with a salad, some bread or crackers or whatever you feel like).

In my opinion, moncler down jacket there’s an interesting cultural difference between a blog that allows comments and one that does not. north face jackets sale A blog that doesn’t allow comments seems to me to be saying North face denali jacket “this is the final word on this topic.” To me it seems there’s something formal about such publications — they distance themselves from users; cheap north face jackets they hold themselves up as a paragon rather than engaging “on the level” with users. saints super bowl jersey, mulberry bags sale. http://www.monclersonline.com/products_a..
