Topic: These are the Questions of our Lives.
Subject: Ryst, don't knock it till you've tried it! ;)
Sibelius: Organic meat is pure, normal meat that has not been chemically altered with added hormones, steroids, dangerous preservatives, and other chemicals. All the meat you eat that isn't organic, has these things. With organic meat, the animals were given free-range and space to walk and live out their lives until slaughter. Most animals slaughtered for organic meat have been able to live out at least half of their lives in a normal way, without being confined in tiny spaces, crowded together with tons of other animals, and not put under the extreme pressure of added steroids and growth hormones that cause the animal's legs to break down, and their heart to give out. This is the case with almost all meat that isn't organic or animal friendly.
The organic animals have been humanely slaughtered in a quick, 'painless' way. Like a shock to the brain, or some other form of instant death. Normal slaughter routines for cows, pigs and chickens is to hang them unpside down while alive and cut their throat--for easier and quicker blood drainage. Before or after that, the animals are scent to scalding tanks to remove all the hair from their bodies. This is most often done while they're alive.
And since there's really no pressing need for that whatsoever, I stick with organic meat, where i know the animals were dead before this happens. If you really want to see how routine slaughter goes, you can watch this video: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2016546719
WARNING: IT'S EXTREMELY VIVID and disturbing. Don't watch it with young children around.
I'm not for 'PETA', they're psychotic, however they did make this video, and it's a very true video. You can find other video's and information on the internet with the same information that's in this video. Peta didn't exaggerate this film in any way whatsoever.
I don't believe that people should stop eating meat (but i respect it if they do). I eat meat because mankind has always used animals for food and clothes and everything else. It's nature. Though i am hugely against animal mistreatment.
Oh, and if you're under the impression that organics are uber-expensive, they're NOT. Organics are very affordable in most all places sold. We spend maybe 1 (sometimes 2--but rarely) dollars more on organic meat. I'd say that's a small price to pay for the safety of animals, the health of YOU, and the health of your kids.

Topic: These are the Questions of our Lives.
Subject: hey!
glad you liked the chili, Eol!
those were good questions and answers too. I do think that mankind will destroy itself (the majority anyway) before we ever use much more of our brains. Call me a cynic, but i prefer the term Realist.
And it's so strange and overwhelming how up, down, sideways, and the like are really nothing. Just like a 'year' is only 12 months and 365 days because we SAY it is. Same with any other measurement. What is everything really? Just chaos and whateverness i guess, waiting for construction.
Anyway, we just got back from a Dance theatre production called Hell. It was rather odd, and interesting...and lots of naked people...well, not that many people, but a lot of nakedness, i should say. The overall meaning of the show is not known, and you're constantly sitting there absorbing a ton of weird, vivid information. So my mind is on overdrive tonight! I thought the play was about gays, and Michiel thought it was about the loss of innocence. And there were cigerettes involved in the beginning. And i'm just so confused!!!

Topic: These are the Questions of our Lives.
Subject: yea
i actually HATE beans, but you don't really taste them in this chili, so it's all good. Plus, Michiel and I only eat meat that is Organic/Biological. It's animal friendly and so much more healthy. It's hard to find a big variety of organic meats here, so the two types of meat thing is out for me. It's too expensive to use two organic meats in one dinner meal! haha Though tofu is an option, i don't care for it in chili.
But yea, when you can't get meat that often, beans are a good source of fiber and protien when you can stand them. In the chili recipe i wrote, you don't even notice them. Really.
man, it's been yeeeaarrrs since i've had filet mignon. They don't really sale that organically around here, lol.

Topic: It drives me crazy !!
Subject: ugh
oh yea, i know how that is. Living in Holland i constantly get asked: "So why are you here? Do you live with your parents? How did you meet Michiel? How long have you been here? Do you like it here? Do you miss America? Do you miss your family? How long will you stay here?"
honestly, if someone on the internet is asking me, i used to have a msWord document with all the answers, ready to copy and paste for them. I have a new laptop now, so i gotta write it again. :/

Topic: These are the Questions of our Lives.
Subject: my recipe...
haha, yea, that would be cool! I don't know if it would catch on with everyone though. I actually don't think there are -that- many people who make great chili (or any chili at all for that matter). Maybe i'm wrong. I hope i am, because i'd love to see other recipes! However, contest or no, we can still share our recipes! Eol asked for the recipe i use and i PM'ed it to him. I can post it here also. Maybe people would like to try it.
Alright, here's my best recipe:
Makes 1 large pot. Can serve up to 4 people.
Ingredients:::
-300 grams organic ground pork (or beef, chicken, or turkey. Your choice). I find ground pork or ground turkey best. Chicken tends not to have enough flavor and ground beef is rather ordinary.
-1 large, chopped onion
-3-5 cloves of garlic, chopped well
-4 or 5 chopped up peppercorn peppers (seeds incl.)
-1 chopped up red bell pepper
-1 can skinned tomatoes
-1 can black beans (or kidney beans)
-1/2 can corn
-1 medium-sized jar of spaghetti sauce (try to avoid cheese flavored sauce. You can add cheese yourself to your own bowl later if you like).
-1 packet of chili or taco seasoning
-teaspoon of cinnamon (or a little more if you're daring)
-1.5 to 2 ounces chocolate (dark or milk choco, doesn't matter)
Spices: salt, ground (chunky) black pepper, tyme(optional)
Directions:::
Get a good sized pot and heat 2-3 spoons of olive oil with 2 spoons of cooking butter.
Add your chopped garlic and onions first, and saute them a little, to get the flavor of each out into the oil.
Add your meat and some salt, black pepper and tyme, and cook it all the way.
Take your skinned tomatoes and pour them in a bowl, and with your hands, squish them up a bit (leave them bigger if you want them thick. Mash them more if you want them thin. Thicker is best, in my opinion.)
Put in your tomatoes, but only the tomatoes, try to avoid the juice from them as much as you can.
The go ahead and throw in the chopped red pepper, the corn, the peppercorn peppers, and the black beans.
Mix it up and then pour in the spaghetti sauce and the packet of chili/taco seasoning.
Stir that around and let it get good and hot, then add your cinnamon and chocolate.
Keep stirring as the chocolate melts. Stir well, all the way through.
Then you're done!
((you can add some beer if you would like it, but it can ruin the chili if you're not careful. So i would recommend trying a little in a seperate pot first, to see if you like it. It does change the flavor a bit.))
so...if you make it, enjoy! It really only takes 30 minutes at the very most to make. The time-consuming parts are just cutting up some of the veggies.

Subject: well guess what...
We just had chili for dinner. Hehe, all because of this forum. I did try putting some mustard in it, not bad. The chili was a great success.
Btw, i also put a little cinnamon in my chili. Like a tea-spoon.

I put chocolate in my chili. It's flipping awesome too. Amazingly delicious. You can put beer in chili too. Though, that's more for when you're making chili with chicken instead of beef.
I'm a cookspert. oh yes.
