Casi-Style Chili Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
4 jalape#o chiles stems & deveined, h, alved
4 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp paprika
2 lb beef chuck
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tbsp kidney suet, chopped substitute vegeta
8 oz tomato sauce
12 oz beer
2 cup beef stock
3 tsp cumin, ground
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp pepper, black
1/4 cup masa harina (finely ground maize fl, our)
Recipe Preparation
Cut beef into 1-1/2" cubes. Brown the meat and onions in oil or fat.
Add the tomato sauce, beer, beef stock, chiles, cumin, garlic, black
pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the Chili Powder. Simmer the chili over
a low head for 2 hours until the meat is tender.
To thicken, make a thin paste of the masa and water. Quickly stir
this into the chili -- if done too slowly it will lump.
Add the remaining Chili Powder and Paprika. Simmer for an additional
15 minutes. Remove the Jalapenos and serve.
[CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) chili-cookoff
winners tend to use blended chili powder and also Jalape#o chiles,
which are usually removed before serving. The beef is cubed, and
masa, which is flour made from ground dried maize available in Latin
markets, is used to thicken the chili.]

The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is really safe for you?
Most of the unpleasant side-effects stated, such as tiredness, stomach disorders, or headaches are only temporary, but critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without serious long term side effects.
Reducing carbohydrates could mean missing out on required nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well adjusted diet, particularly those provied by vegetables, grains and fruits.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions)
The alliaceae family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is not enough, definitive proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to aid in antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime.
