Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

The veggie chili


 I'm enjoying this veggie chilli - this is the first bowl of many, because I made 2-1/2 quarts. It's a little short on beans that you see, because I ran a whole can through the blender, turning them into a thickener. The can of chili beans seemed very small compared to tomato paste, a veggie broth, and a whole package of  vegetable hamburger bits.

I had to keep adding spices, because this first bowl was pretty blah. Guess what happened! Yep, the rest of it really has quite a bang! But I have something else that I eat with it, so I'll enjoy it.

  1. I eat rather a lot of veg chilli and it's the only vegetarian dish that my brother will willingly eat so I generally cook some when he visits.

  3. It looks good to me. I wouldn’t mind the ‘less thick’ result that you have.

    1. I used to like the Wendy's chili, which of course has meat. I've been trying to be plant based...though I keep finding reasons to try something that isn't!

  6. We have tofu with our chili and it's delicious.

  7. It's the beans that I object to. But that's pretty much the key ingredient in chili.

    1. The digestion of beans can be helped along with a teaspoon of baking soda, I've heard.

    1. Well, it's already a good "go-out-and have-it" kind of dish. THough I admit I would probably prefer lots of other things over it!
