“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |
Always eat grapes downward - that is eat the best grapes first; in this way there will be none better left on the bunch, and each grape will seem good down to the last. If you eat the other way, you will not have a good grape in the lot. |

Nobody seems more obsessed by diet than our anti-materialistic, otherworldly, New Age spiritual types. But if the material world is merely illusion, an honest guru should be as content with Budweiser and bratwurst as with raw carrot juice, tofu and seaweed slime. |

Rinse and pick over the beans. Soak beans overnight in enough water to
cover. Drain and discard water.
Place beans in kettle. Cover with water and bring to a boil; add bay
leaf. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2
hours. Drain. Discard bay leaf. Set aside.
Roast jalapeno and red bell pepper in the broiler or over a gas
burner (or on a barbecue grill) until completely charred and
blackened on all sides. Place in bowl and cover with plastic wrap to
steam for 10 minutes. Remove from bowl and wash off all black outer
skin. Remove seeds and chop finely. (If you want a spicier spread,
leave in some of the jalapeno seeds.)
Combine beans, peppers, garlic, cumin and cilantro in a food
processor, and puree to a thick paste. Add enough vegetable or
chicken stock to make a spreadable consistency. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Cover and chill.
Yields 2 cups.
