Oh for the chili: People probably make this tons of different ways. I made vegetarian with beans and tvp.
Cooking the kidney beans from dried beans:
1 poured beans on plate and threw away odd looking ones or any rocks.
2 soaked them for about 6 hours (if you do any more you should do it in the fridge so they don't ferment)
3 replaced water, added some onion, chopped carrots, toasted cumin seeds, and a pinch of "epazote" (a mexican herb that has a pleasant oregano-like taste and supposedly helps if you are prone to "bean discomfort")*, note: important not to add salt or acid before beans are cooked.
4 brought to a boil and then slowed to a simmer. left cooking for about an hour adding water as needed.Cooking the flavorful stuff:
1 In a separate pot put in a healthy layer of vegetable oil and turn heat to medium-high
2 add 1 chopped onion, a few cloves of garlic, some cumin seeds. cook until onion is transparent
3 add chopped chipotle pepper(s) and some of the adobo sauce* (alternately some red pepper to taste) If you let them fry for too long your eyes will start to burn so best to quickly move to step 4
4 poor in 2 cups or so canned, chopped tomatoes or tomato puree.
5 Add in a couple of handfuls of tvp (textured vegetable protein [should be available from asian or hippy store])
6 If you like it you can add in a can of corn (maize?)
7 Add salt to taste
8 Turn down heat and let simmer for 15 or so minutes until tvp has expanded and is no longer hard when you chew it.When the beans are ready take about half of them and add to the tomato mixture. check seasoning and add more salt if needed. cook for another few minutes to let flavors mingle etc. Eat with cornbread and maybe a scoop of plain yogurt and some green onions.
The unused beans can be poured into a ziplock cooking liquid and all and frozen (don't try until they have cooled down). They freeze pretty well and then you can make more chili later with not much effort.
- I found epazote and chipotle peppers in adobo cans at a weird spanish import store (i live in berlin) even though they are mexican. Epazote can be skipped if you want maybe just put in some oregano or a bay leaf, chipotle peppers are good in this but you can use any spicy peppers you want.

^^^ Thanks for this I made a pot of Mujadara that I have been living off of for the past few days. It turned out super good!
Before that I was living off of chili and 3 layer cornbread for a few days. I realize it is pretty americaner but chili and cornbread is a good combo. Regular cornbread is good too but 3 layer is better for leftovers I think.
Here is my mom's recipe from her hippy bread making book.
Three Layer Corn Bread:
1 c. corn meal,
1/2 c whole wheat flour,
1/2 c unbleached white flour,
2 t. baking powder.,
1/2 t. salt,
1 egg,
1/4-1/2 c. honey or sugar,
1/4 c. oil,
3 c. milk or buttermilk.
Combine wet ingredients in one bowl.
Combine dry ingredients in another bowl.
Mix all together.
Pour into buttered medium cast iron frying pan (or 9x9 oven proof pan).
Bake 40-50 minutes at 350 degrees until top is springy when gently touched.yum!



I think @mdcc_tester was trying to get an answer way back when http://www.lfgss.com/thread6261-984.html#post2326771
Clearly he or WILLPALMER was ahead of his time.
