Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker, by Robin Robertson is a book with a hundred or so vegetarian slow cooker recipes. The “No Hurry Veg Curry” is my favorite. I usually just cook it in my pressure cooker…so much for slow cooking!

You need to get some texture with veggies so use a couple of different color peppers, coarse sliced and chopped onion, a lot of beans and i love the look and taste and texture of dark red kidney beans–they seem to hold their shape better. Then some kind of canned tomatoes and I make sure I use already seasoned with other veggies like onions, celery what have you. It really makes it that much better. So now it’s chunky add the spices you like. And then present it nice, too. I
Here’s what I do:
Saute a large sweet onion(coarsely sliced and chopped) until translucent then add a large green pepper and large red pepper(in strips). Cook and stir for a few minutes and add chili powder and ground red pepper(cayenne), cumin, oregano, garlic-powder or fresh minced. 2 or 3 cans of drained and rinsed dark red kidney beans. 2 cans of diced or stewed tomatoes(if using stewed-coarsely chopped)(if using diced, buy kind with onion, garlic, some kind of seasoniing) Add water if needed. Simmer for 20 minutes and adjust for salt, chili powder. Add fresh black pepper. Add hot sauce if desired.
To serve: over rice or over spaghetti or my favorite is to:
make or buy round small loaves of bread. Cut off top, hollow bread leaving a good 1/2 inch crust all around. Toast in hot oven a bit, then ladle chili in each ‘bowl’, add some shredded cheddar, top with lid, on an angle.
{Save the bread you tore out for croutons for another day.}

If so and you are interested in starting an animal protection group in India or Nepal, then answer this question. I already have a group and want to sign up members. The groups’ activites include liberating caged animals, giving them a decent home, and chanting prayers for their spiritual benefit and givng them holy objects to walk around.

i work for a makeup company and they claim that our makeup brushes are made with cruelty free animal hair. I was just wondering if anyone knows how what cruelty free means, in this case.

Try this:
1 pk Egg roll wrappers
Sesame oil
1 c Celery, finely chopped
1 Onion, small, finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 c Cabbage, finely shredded
1 c Mushroom, finely chopped
1 Green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 c Water chestnuts, finely chop
1 c Sprouts, bean or seed, fresh
1/4 c Soybeans, dry cooked and
-pureed
3 tb Soy sauce
2 1/2 c Brown rice, cooked
These egg rolls make an excellent first course, or
when eaten right with the cooked rice, a whole meal.
Just be sure, if you eat them without rice, that you
include rice in the meal to complement the soybeans.
In a wok or frying pan saute the vegetables in sesame
oil in the order given. After the onion has started
sauteing, add the remaining vegetables quickly so that
the total time with the heat on is about 5 minutes. As
soon as you add the bean sprouts to the pan, turn off
the heat.
Stir the pureed soybeans and soy sauce together. Then
stir this mixture into the vegetables.
The whole mixture may be chilled several hours, or
used warm. To prepare the rolls: place about 1/4 cup
filling in the center of each pancake or egg roll
wrapper; fold the corners over envelope-style and seal
with a flour-water paste.
Heat a large frying pan with oil in the bottom. Fry
the rolls until they are crisp and brown, turning only
once. You may deep fry the rolls if you are into deep
frying, but they are better cooked only in a little
oil. Drain on paper bags or towels.
Keep the rolls hot in a 250~ oven up to an hour. Or
reheat them at 450~ for about 10 minutes.
Serve 2 egg rolls with about 1 cup of cooked rice and
any of the following: mustard, horseradish, soy sauce,
sweet and sour sauce, or hot sauce.
