I created a spice blend for my rice. I think I'll premix a bunch of it and store it in a mason jar.

3 cups brown rice (measured uncooked)
3/4 cup dry black beans (measured dry/uncooked)
3 large sliced carrots
1 cup diced bell pepper (or other non-spicy kind)
2/3 cup oil (I mix canola and extra virgin olive oil)

SPICE BLEND:

5 tsp tumeric
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp oregano
1-1/2 tsp salt

Watching Taxi Driver (with Robert De Niro) he mentions ordering apple pie with a slice of cheese, and I seem to have missed that part the first time I watched it. . . It's something common historically but sounds really weird.

I call this beets and black beans and spinach too. You can have a banana afterwards.

I created a spice blend for my rice...5 tsp tumeric
I'm reducing that by a couple tsps after reading about tumeric supplements causing liver damage. The GRAS level is lower than a serving of my rice.

I wonder if you digitized this would it look more pleasing to my/the eye? I can think of a lotta of options... :popcorn:

This one looks like it could be good but it wasn't seasoned well and I ran out of oil. With grated cheese it would have been good. Fresh whole wheat pasta with red onion, spinach and string beans.

Here's that rice dish but without black beans and with not enough pepper.

a few days ago I read about harmful levels of heavy metals in most dark chocolate
There's a new article on this. https://www.consumerreports.org/health/ ... 4844566398

Easier said than done though, isn't it? As I understand it, places where cocoa beans are grown have high levels of lead and cadmium in the soils (not sure if this is just natural to the geography or due to lax environmental standards in banana republics in which they are grown). These get taken up by the plants and end up in the beans.

I'm sure there is some process to remove them, but I am not sure what it is or what it costs. Nobody would be thrilled with the price of chocolate doubling. But if the cost is just a few cents per 100g or something, add a nickel to the price of a bar and get them out of there.
