I made three recipes today, two from Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book and this Vegetarian Chili from 101 Cookbooks. The bread items are a simple cornbread which is still baking (verdict not out) and "Sea Biscuits" which I would rather call "ship's biscuits". These seemed exciting to me, a kind of cracker made from sprouted wheat berries and rye flour, salt, baking soda, and oil. I also thought my little pirate might enjoy them...they did not go over so great, but I sure had a lot of fun sprouting the wheat!
But I am singing praises for the "chili", to which I had to, had to add celery, which I wouldn't call chili but a hippie stew in mass quantity. Just the thing to bring back last summer (fall, actually, but the sun was shining) and an amazing farm tour I went on, which concluded with live music and a feast of local food and drink. The star of the feast for me was a stew much like the one on my stove, thick with pulses and beans and grains. Anything to remember that, yes, summer DOES exist.
Try it, it's hearty!

Does summer exist? I'm starting to doubt. Juliette, Leonne and I were just talking about how it doesn't seem possible to have good vegetarian Chilli. I made some last week, and it turned out pretty gross. Let me know if yours ends up being awesome so I can try that recipe!
I have a good veggie chili recipe that I will post for you, my loyal reader. Maybe I will even post it before six months later. Alas, the "bean stew" as I made was not really awesome. It was good but I solicited comments and Todd's summed it up: hard to eat. Maybe just too many legumes and not enough vegetables to lighten it up?
