Vege update:
Social scientists and law enforcement officials
have identified animal abuse as a symptom of emotional illness and a precursor
to violent crimes against human beings. To allow individuals guilty of
perpetrating such cruel acts to go unpunished or not sufficiently punished
would be to sanction these horrific crimes and would permit them to go
on to possibly commit violent crimes against humans.

Rice & Beans in Coconut Milk recipe
http://bhaktadave.terapad.com/index.cfm?fa=contentNews.newsDetails&newsID=44691&from=list
While we're on the subject of chilli, here is a recipe for my favourite simple one-pot dish. It is based on traditional Boboshanti Rastafarian style vegan cooking, adapted because we can't get the awesome scotch bonnet chilli they use in Australia easily.
Serves 3-4
Ingredients:
1 Cup Rice
440 ml can Coconut Milk
1 cup cooked Red Kidney Beans
2 tbsp. Coconut Oil
1 tbsp. Cumin Seeds
1 tsp. Asafoteda Powder (Hing)
1-4 Green or Yellow Chillies finely chopped.
Adapt according to your personal wuss-factor.
1 Green Capsicum (Bell Pepper) diced
Salt to taste
Heat the oil in a pot. Add the cumin seeds, chilli and asafoteda. Fry for a minute. Add the rice and continue frying for a few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, stir and bring to boil. Cover and cook over a low heat for about 12-15 minutes. Add a little water if needed.
Everyone loves this dish. It is cheap, rich, tasty and spicy. You can't lose.
Patra Bhajia
For 20-25 patras.
Ingredients:
15-20 large patra leaves (colocasia leaves)
paste ingredients:
1/2 cup tamarind extract (juice)
1 cup gramflour (besan)
3 t chilli powder 1/2 t turmeric powder
3-4 pinches asafoetida
1 t crushed cumin seeds
3 t powdered sugar
1 T oil salt to taste
For seasoning:
1 T oil
1/2 t each cumin & mustard seeds
1 t sesame seeds
1 T coriander leaves finely chopped
1 T coconut grated fine
patra:
Clean, wash and wipe the leaves. Cut thick veins with a pair of scissors. Roll lightly with a rolling pin. Keep aside.
Mix all paste ingredients (not those for seasoning). The mixture should be a thick paste. Place a leaf backside up on a flat work surface.
Take a little paste and apply thinly all over leaf surface. Place another leaf over it. Repeat.
Keep stacking until you have 3 or 4 layered leaves, top layer being that of paste. Fold in the edges and roll the leaves, starting with their base towards tip. Make the roll tight and seal sides with some paste. Repeat for all the rolls.
Place the rolls in a double boiler or steam cooker. Steam in the cooker for 30-40 minutes till cooked.
Cool, and remove. Cut into 2-centimetre (1/2-inch) slices. When cooled well, arrange on a serving plate, and season as follows:
Heat oil, add seeds, allow to splutter, remove from heat. Add sesame, coriander, and coconut. Place spoons of seasoning on the patra. Serve.
Note: The patra can also be deep-fried after steaming and slicing (as in above photo) before the seasoning stage.
Flatbreads - Lebanese Wrapper Bread
6 (12-inch) breads
Preparation Time: About 1 1/2 hours to prepare and roll out the dough; 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours for rising; 30 to 40 seconds to bake each bread.
This is lavoshlarge, thin, flexible Middle Eastern flat breads, made from a strong, yeasted wheat dough. They’re used for scooping or wrapping up vegetable or bean dips, salads, or kebabs. You can bake them either on a sheet in a hot oven or on top of the stove, draped over an inverted wok or on a griddle if the breads are small enough to fit. As with pita, the yeast in this dough contributes to its flavor and texture; the bread doesn’t rise when baked.
Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm spring water
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups whole wheat bread flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water. Sprinkle in a teaspoon of flour, cover, and set in a draft-free spot for a few minutes to proof the yeast. Stir in one-half cup of the flour to form a batter. Cover and set it aside for about thirty minutes, until a sponge develops.
Stir in the salt. Add flour, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring after each addition, until a dough forms. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and cover it for several minutes.
Thoroughly knead the dough, lightly sprinkling flour under it only as necessary to keep it from sticking. When the dough is smooth and resilient, form it into a ball. Place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and set it aside for one to two hours, until the dough has risen and does not rebound when pressed with a finger.
Turn the dough out and knead it a few times. Return it to the bowl, covered, to rise a second time.
Cut the dough into six equal pieces and roll each one into a ball. Set the balls on a lightly floured surface and cover them for thirty minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, with a rolling pin, roll each ball into a 12-inch circle. Stack them, separated by waxed paper and covered with a damp towel.
Preheat the oven to 500°. Bake bread on an ungreased pan for fifteen to twenty seconds on each side. Alternatively, use a hot griddle or inverted wok on top of the stove. In any case, work quickly so that the breads stay soft and flexible.
As each bread is done, fold it in quarters, and wrap it in a dry towel. Serve the breads warm.
Note: Refrigerate or freeze the breads when they have cooled thoroughly. Wrap and reheat at 350° for several minutes.
Amandita Sabji
Ingredients:
Butternut Squash, 2
Avocados, ripe, 8
Apple, tart, 1
Coconut, grated, 1 Cup
Ghee, 2 Tablespoons
In a heavy bottom pot, boil the two cubed butternut squash in 1/8 cup water. When half-cooked remove from heat, transfer to another bowl and set aside with liquids. Cut up the 8 avocados and put in bottom of pot. Pour the squash and liquids on top of avocados. Dice the apple and toss in, then pour in coconut. Drizzle two tablespoons of ghee over the top. Don’t add any spices, and don’t stir the pot. Cover and slow cook until the avocados break down. When all the ingredients are very soft, and the moisture is nearly all absorbed, watch the pot closely. As soon as the moisture turns to a skin, almost ready to burn, remove pot from heat, re-cover and set aside for a few minutes. Scrape up remnants on bottom of pot and mix into the prep, stirring just enough to slightly blend the mixture, then offer.

Making Food Sacred - Offering
our food to Krishna:
....excerpt from lecture by HDG Srila A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada - Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.3.1-3 -- San Francisco,
March 28, 1968
The Vedic literature says like this, that God has no leg, no hand. Therefore the impersonalists take advantage of it. "Oh, here it is stated God has no legs, no hands." But the next line is, javana grhita: "He can accept everything which you offer Him in devotion."
Now how He can accept? If He has no hand, how He can accept things from us? That means He hasn't got a hand like us. His hand is different. Therefore even though He is situated in the spiritual world, which is far, far away from us, still, He says in the Bhagavad-gita, it is said,
patram puspam phalam toyam
yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam
asnami prayatatmanah
Krsna says that "A little flower or little water or a little leaf, whatever My devotee offers Me in love and devotion, I accept it." And tad aham bhakty-upahrtam. "And because he has brought it with great devotion, therefore I eat." Tad aham bhakty-upahrtam asnami. Asnami means "I eat." Now you can say, "All right, I'll offer these fruits and flower to God, but it is the same. It is remaining. How He is eating?" But His eating is not like my eating, because He hasn't got a body like this. This body is material. If you bring me a plate of fruits, this body immediately swallows it. But He has got spiritual body. He eats... Simply as soon as He knows that you have offered it in devotion, He eats immediately.
Go here to follow the simple system for offering
foodstuffs to the Lord
... and always
with the Magic ingredient - Offer it to Krishna.....
... with L'n D (love and devotion)

Points of View
I don't know if Shel was actually a vegetarian or not, but he did do
some pro-veg works like the following:
Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless,
Christmas dinner's dark and blue,
When you stop and try to see it
From the turkey's point of view.
Sunday dinner isn't funny
Easter feasts are just bad luck,
When you see it from the viewpoint
Of the chicken or the duck.
Oh, how I once loved tuna salad,
Pork and lobsters, lamb chops,
too,
Till I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner's point of view.

lyrics)
Pictures of Animals in the womb
showing their maturation and development much the same as humans
http://prisonplanet.com/articles/november2006/231106animals.htm
They are alive in the womb, they grow in the womb, they take birth,
they mature, they have their own families, and reproduce.
"They" are spiritual beings who simply took their birth in the animal
kingdom.

Cruelty to Animals: Mechanized Madness
Watch the Video
Animals on today's factory farms have no legal protection from cruelty that would be illegal if it were inflicted on dogs or cats: neglect, mutilation, genetic manipulation, and drug regimens that cause chronic pain and crippling, transport through all weather extremes, and gruesome and violent slaughter. Yet farmed animals are no less intelligent or capable of feeling pain than are the dogs and cats we cherish as companions.

Meet your Meat FREECDRoms
This is a must for those who live in the illusion
of animal killing is somehow acceptable or humane.
I have converted the "Meet your Meat" video into a CD rom & will send a copy of it for free to anyone with a Cd burner & a pledge to make at least 4 copies to give to their meat eating friends.

I would appreciate if you would forward this message
to your readers.

"The beef industry has contributed to more deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of 'real food for real people', you'd better live real close to a good hospital."
- Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Comittee for Responsible Medicine, Washington, D.C.

“If anyone wants to save the
planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat.
That’s the single most important
thing you could do. It’s staggering when you think about it.
Vegetarianism takes care of
so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty.”
--Sir Paul McCartney
