A father used to say to his children when they were young: —When you all reach the age of 12 I will tell you the secret of life. One day when the oldest turned 12, he anxiously asked his father what was the secret of life. The father replied that he was going to tell him, but that he should not reveal it to his brothers.
The secret of life is this: The cow does not give milk. “What are you saying?” Asked the boy incredulously. —As you hear it, son: The cow does not give milk, you have to milk it. You have to get up at 4 in the morning, go to the field, walk through the corral full of manure, tie the tail, hobble the legs of the cow, sit on the stool, place the bucket and do the work yourself.
That is the secret of life, the cow does not give milk. You milk her or you don’t get milk. There is this generation that thinks that cows GIVE milk. That things are automatic and free: their mentality is that if “I wish, I ask….. I obtain.”
“They have been accustomed to get whatever they want the easy way…But no, life is not a matter of wishing, asking and obtaining. The things that one receives are the effort of what one does. Happiness is the result of effort. Lack of effort creates frustration.”
So, share with your children from a young age the secret of life, so they don’t grow up with the mentality that the government, their parents, or their cute little faces is going to give them everything they need in life.
Remember … “Cows don’t give milk; you have to work for it.” ~Author Unknown
This chili is dairy free and vegan as written. You can keep it that way by choosing vegan toppings like sliced avocado and tortilla chips.
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
½ teaspoon salt, divided
4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
2 tablespoons chili powder*
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika*
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 large can (28 ounces) or 2 small cans (15 ounces each) diced tomatoes**, with their juices
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups vegetable broth or water
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnishing
1 to 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar or lime juice, to taste
Garnishes: chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, tortilla chips, sour cream or crème fraîche, grated cheddar cheese, etc.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, the drained black beans and pinto beans, vegetable broth and bay leaf. Stir to combine and let the mixture come to a simmer. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, for 30 minutes.
Remove the chili from the heat and discard the bay leaf. For the best texture and flavor, transfer 1 ½ cups of the chili to a blender, making sure to get some of the liquid portion. Securely fasten the lid and blend until smooth (watch out for hot steam), then pour the blended mixture back into the pot. (Or, you can blend the chili briefly with an immersion blender, or mash the chili with a potato masher until it reaches a thicker, more chili-like consistency.)
Add the chopped cilantro, stir to combine, and then mix in the vinegar, to taste. Add salt to taste, too—I added ¼ teaspoon more at this point. Divide the mixture into individual bowls and serve with garnishes of your choice. This chili will keep well in the refrigerator for about 4 days or you can freeze it for longer-term storage.
I actually tripled the recipe, sautéed the vegis and then added them and all other ingredients into my oversized slow cooker, cooking all night. The next morning, I proceeded to pressure can the chili, gaining 15 pints for my pantry.
Pressure Cook at 11 lbs pressure for 75 minutes pints and 90 minutes quarts.
Intending to change preconditioned, habitual patterning surrounding food, I have whittled down the amount of meat in my diet over the last several years. I feel very good about this change.
My father joined me for dinner this Thanksgiving holiday. He told me that he did not want me cooking meat, as he knows I try to avoid it. What is a daughter to do? My father came for supper, and he eats meat on a regular basis.
I was not going to make him eat vegetarian, so I bought, and roasted him a turkey breast … and I used the leftover to make soup for the pantry. I was not going to waste one portion of it, out of respect for the life it once was. And yes, I will eat it, out of respect for the life it once was, because I made the purchase. And I will be grateful for the nourishment every time I do.
I doubled the recipe and then some, with the exception of the meat. After having it for supper, I managed to create 15 pints and 3 quarts of delicious soup for the pantry.
Recipe
1/2 tablespoon oil 1 green pepper, diced 1 onion, diced 4 cups turkey stock 2 cups leftover turkey 1 cup frozen corn 2 (16 oz cans) black beans, drained 2 (15 oz cans) diced tomatoes with green chiles 2 tablespoons taco seasoning 4 ounces cream cheese (If dairy free or canning, leave out this ingredient. The cheese can be added at the time of cooking at a later date for creaminess if desired).
Sauté the onion and green bell pepper. Add it to slow cooker with all other ingredients (except cream cheese, this goes in before serving). Cook on low for 8 hours.
Pressure canning: Bring to 11 lbs pressure and keep it there for 75 minutes pints, and 90 minutes quarts.
The Garden of Eden was essentially a Food Forest, where all things needed for healthy sacred living were provided. The story has it that Eve ate the apple, and caused the expulsion of the people. This idea is rediculous, as that is what the food was there for …. to eat, for the body to be sustained.
The idea of expulsion in this way is not fact. It is a story to subject the feminine to guilt and shame.
Let us prove the thought.
We see in the world as it stands today, the self-sufficiency of the people, their autonomy, has been subjugated. Those of the dominating “New World” cannot dare to think of life with a free people, a people who have the food they need growing fresh and pure, waters that flow clean, who have the wherewithal to be self-sufficient, to care for their every need as it is provided to them by the earth mother.
We see in the current state of affairs dominators everywhere telling the people they must be injected with toxins against their will, or they will not be able to work, to provide for themselves or their families. There is talk of the head banker wanting to dismantle personal bank accounts and savings, there is talk of dismantling a persons right to property.
This is an attack on self-sufficiency, on autonomy.
How many times has the Garden of Eden been dismantled, and the people evicted from the land which provides for their needs? Look to the indigenous cultures, review what their life has been like … they once roamed the land, having their needs fulfilled by the earth mother.
It is time to move away from those who desire to dominate.
Build your Food Forest. Grow nut trees, fruit trees, and berry bushes to compliment the yearly garden worked with ones own two hands. Grow the sustenance required for the body, and share it with the world. Share the seed so others can participate in growing this Garden of Eden in many locations. Create ….. and use the violations against you to fuel your creation. Allow your beautiful creation to feast upon the violations, churning them, and turning them into fodder for the forest, so that it grows aplenty and strong.
The stories we’ve been told are just that, written by those whose lone desire is to dominate all life upon this planet, to harvest it, to use it, to have it work for them, building their fantasy land …..
The people will rise.
The people will rise and build their Gardens. They will do this in many areas of the world, and these Gardens will grow, will flourish, and they will eventually meet in the middle, one with the other, until all of the land is a food forest, nurturing the people as they roam to and fro, as well as the animal kingdom.
It is a choice.
We have been trained to rely on the dominator for our food and housing.
We will build a different New World. A Sacred World, where the feminine is honored, not used in sex slavery where her most intimate energies are harvested by those who must have them in order to create. Feeders … feeding on the Primordial Light within all beings, indeed within all that grows and flows upon the earth.
We see the world as it is drained of its life-force energy.
And we choose ….
Some choose to take the jab, to fall in line, to attack their human family for their audacity to stand for autonomy.
Some, choosing autonomy, begin planting their Food Forests, creating, rebuilding, the sweet sustenance the earth and all who dwell upon her need to thrive.
Be proud of the work you will be doing. It is you who will heal the land, the earth. It is you, creator, who will participate in bringing back the health of this world. It is you, as the Primordial Light of Creation itself moves through you, who will initiate and see abundance flourish in all lands.
Take a stand. Permit the violations to empower your Will to Create. Allow the violations to feed your efforts. Just as the trees cleanse and purify the air we breathe, just as the waters churn and oxygenate the waters that so many life forms inhabit, the toxic world of dominance shall feed your creation.
All foul things shall be made new again … cleansed, purified, fresh.
**I actually doubled the recipe and cooked it slow for 6 hours before pressure canning it.Here is the recipe as it stands for stovetop cooking.
2 Tbsp olive oil 1-1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 medium) 2 cups peeled and chopped carrots (about 5) 1-1/4 cups chopped celery (about 3) 4 cloves garlic 4 (14.5 oz) cans Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth 2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes (undrained) 3 cups peeled and 1/2-inch thick diced potatoes (about 3 medium) 1/3 cup chopped parsley 2 bay leaves 1/2 tsp dried thyme, or 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves Salt and pepper 1-1/2 cups chopped frozen or fresh green beans 1-1/4 cups frozen or fresh corn 1 cup frozen or fresh peas
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add onions, carrots, and celery and sauté 4 minutes then add garlic and sauté 30 seconds longer.
Add in broth, tomatoes, potatoes, parsley, bay leaves, thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil, then add green beans.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until potatoes are almost fully tender, about 20 – 30 minutes.
Add corn and peas and cook 5 minutes longer.
Serve warm
For more flavor add in more dried herbs (or even triple the amount of dried thyme). Other good herbs to add include basil, oregano, rosemary, marjoram, or italian seasoning.
Vegetable soup all prepared, now for it to cook all day.7 quarts of delicious vegetable soup. Plus I have 2 pints in the freezer.
Men … Women … be aware of the dreams you are experiencing, for they are far more than dreams.
The 4th dimension is very near ours. It is non-physical in these moments, yet they are still able to interact with us very clearly in the astral.
I’ve heard men speaking recently of their dreams, how they are “different scenarios of sex”.
Please note: this is how the non-physical of the lower vibration gains its nutrient, by harvesting the sexual energies of the human … among other ways of gaining loosh … provided by their physical puppets and comrades.
It is important to gain control of the astral Self as well as the physical Self in these moments, of this “time”.
Begin to notice the manipulations in the dream state.
Try to see it as more than “just a dream” … for it is.
Humans are nothing more than “cattle” to these ones.
But they’ll make you feel special.
Be wary.
Beware.
The war is real, and it is a battle for Consciousness, Life Force Essence, and the Primordial Light within.
Kejora Fresh 100% ORGANIC Purple Garlic For Planting or Cooking USDA Certificated (Available on Amazon)
The best way to combine the healing benefits of both garlic and honey is to infuse raw honey into crushed garlic. Crushing the garlic first allows the natural enzymes to reach their maximum potential. Soaking garlic cloves in honey will make the garlic much more palatable and increase the immune boosting power.
Purple Garlic is Best
Peel and crush your garlic and place into your jar and cover with raw honey. Screw the lid on the jar and let it rest on your counter for 3-5 days. The garlic will absorb some of the sweetness and nutrients from the honey. And the honey will absorb some of the beneficial properties of the garlic. Once it has finished sitting, place in the refrigerator to keep fresh.
This is a honey bee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions. It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food.
This bee is dead from weed killer spread on what we see as weeds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for weeds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, weeds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more weeds than flowers or fruit trees, so it’s their only food source.
