We're gonna come up with beanless tomatoless chilli. No problem. My mother used to leave the beans out of some 'cause I wouldn't eat 'em. Maybe tomatillo's instead of tomatoes, if they aren't prohibited too. It's all just an excuse to try new kitchen ideas.

Eh, Wanda - REAL chili has no beans. You make the chili an' pour'em ovah beans at the end if you wan' 'em li'dat. Beanless chili very good ovah rice, like in HI. That's the way they do it in Texas, maam! Pour it over beans, either black or pinto, tortilla chips, rice, hot burgers, etc, etc. Some of that must be on your diet! I'm told by our local expert (who won a couple of times in Teralinga) that chili arose both from cowboys in Texas and Greeks in Cincinatti, from whence cometh the hamburger and kidney beans version. My mom made 'em li'dat! |

Hah - I just purchased all the equipment to make a wonderful food that is permissible on my diet -- shave ice. I went and bought a machine and some syrups and some of the cup thingies. No ice cream in it and no azuki beans, but still, at least it is some kind of treat.
Yesterday I made beer can chicken where you shove the can of beer up the chicken's okole and roast him. Chicken is on the list of good stuff as long as I don[t eat too much at one time and as long as I don't salt da buggah. I made mashed potatoes, too, but they were horrible. I have to peel the potatoes and slice them real thin on a mandoline and then soak them for minimum 5 hours in 5 times the amount of cold water. Even mo bettah if you change the water during the wait time. Then boil the potatoes until they are tender. Then drain and rinse them. Then mash. It is called "leaching" out the potassium. That ain't all that got leached out. And even though you mash them, they did not turn into nice cohesive bunch of mashed taters at all.They were horrible. I cannot find anything about poi, about whether it has lots of potassium. Does anyone know? Cannot eat yams or sweet potatoes.
This is an education, for sure. Maybe once I learn what I am doing I will write the first diabetic, low-protein, low-fat, low-salt, low-potassium cookbook. Maybe I will even open a restaurant for the afflicted with good grub (if I can find enough).. |
