Any way. For the first time I really saw the colors of cooking. The blending of reds, greens and whites, the vivid fresh organic blends of the earth. And the aroma's when I started to add the spices. I honestly had my first nose-gasm. It was delicious.
I decided to use a new spice that I had randomly come across in my many perusings...Tumeric. And just so you know, this is a handy spice to consume.
(PLEASE NOTE: I totally looked up Tumeric as my chili ingredients were swapping...flavors. My findings found that tumeric:
- is an anti-inflammatory - helps swelling related with arthritus
- is an antioxidant
- is a broncho-dilator - useful during asthma attacks
- bile stimulant - great for digestion and helps protect the liver (which we need with that bottle of wine...not as great as Milk Thistle perhaps, but refresh your body after a night of drinking!)
- reduces the risk of heart attacks
- blood purifier
- detoxifer
- possibly anticancer
- helps with skin problems.
)
It was nice to be able to apply my knowledge of spices and be creative in the kitchen. I would like to share this with someone. I would like to think my man but he doesn't always appreciate a home cooked meal. Which is why I now have 2 containers of extra chili in my fridge. Haha. Go figure. This will be a fun girls night option.
Must remember to schedule a girls night. (But maybe end with a visit to my guy...cooking really is erotic.)
