1 fine
1 louisiana hot sauce

1 beer
Recipe Preparation
*Dried **(use a real good cut like a cross rib roast and have your
butcher grind it in "chili grind" dried Rule #1 in Chili Cookoffs: If
you know beans about chili, you know chili ain't got no beans! This
recipe is a lot of work, but well worth it! Oregano Tea (bring 2 c
water to boil; add 2 T dried oregano leaves. Brew like tea; stain,
reserving liquid) Remove the stems, seeds, and veins from peppers;
add to boiling water 30 minutes. Use a knife and strip meat off
peppers, discard skins; put into food processor with enough beer to
make the consistency of tomato sauce. Divide the bacon, garlic,
onions, sausage and beef into thirds. We are going to fry up the
mixture 1/3 a time. Fry up the bacon (mostly for grease) until just
about crisp. Add garlic, and after 30 seconds, add onions, hot sauce
to taste, salt and pepper. When the onions are translucent, add the
sausage. When about half cooked, add beef. When the mixture is about
medium, drain the grease and refry until well done (this sears the
meat and keeps the flavor in). When done, put into pot. Repeat for
next 1/3 and last 1/3. Stir in the pepper paste (from above), broth,
and tomato sauce. Take your time--over low heat. Then add the
remaining ingredients, one at a time, slowly. Add enough beer to keep
the consistency to your liking. Now adjust the spices like a real
expert! Cook over low heat 2+ hours, and you'll have one fine bowl of
red! Enjoy! Mike FROM: MIKE CROUCH (NNBB09A)

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyWhen deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods. Although you can buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the low carb bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is hard, whizz it in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware jar or container.
* Know what is in your food Don't trust food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the back of the package. A good number of are only slightly less and in some instances still greater than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, turnip greens and winter squash)
These natural foods are rich in carotenes (alpha and beta) believed to play a major part in minimizing the risk of cancer, spefically cancer of the stomach. Many are low in calories, so should be a part of every weight loss program.
