Vege update:
Social scientists and law enforcement officials
have identified animal abuse as a symptom of emotional illness and a precursor
to violent crimes against human beings. To allow individuals guilty of
perpetrating such cruel acts to go unpunished or not sufficiently punished
would be to sanction these horrific crimes and would permit them to go
on to possibly commit violent crimes against humans.

Kurma's Khichari recipe.
Hearty One-pot Melange of Mung Beans, Rice & Vegetables (Khichari)
Khichari (pronounced "kitch-eri") is such an important dish for vegetarians that I have included a different recipe for it in each of my cookbooks. The flavoursome, juicy stew of mung beans, rice and vegetables is both nutritious and sustaining. It can be served anytime a one-pot meal is required You can practically live on khichari, and in fact, some people do. I eat it accompanied by a little yogurt, some whole-wheat toast, lemon or lime wedges and topped with a drizzle of melted ghee. Bliss! Serves 4-6.
Ingredients:
½ cup split mung beans,
washed and drained 6 cups water
1 bay leaf 1.5cm
(½-inch) chunk ginger,
chopped fine 1 small green chili, seeded and
chopped
½ teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons coriander powder
1 cup Thai rice, or other long grain rice of
your choice
1 packed cup each broccoli, potato cubes and
quartered Brussels sprouts, or veg of your choice
2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
1½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons ghee
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
small handful curry leaves
½ teaspoon yellow asafetida powder
½ cup chopped fresh coriander leaves
wedges of lemon,
some chilled yogurt,
and extra ghee for serving
Bring to a boil in a saucepan the mung beans, water, bay leaf, ginger, chili, turmeric and coriander, then reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, for about 15 minutes, or until the beans start to break up.
Add the rice, vegetables, tomatoes and salt, increase the heat, and stirring, bring to a boil, then return to a simmer, covered. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is soft.
Season: heat the ghee in a small saucepan over moderate heat. Sprinkle in the cumin seeds, fry until a few shades darker, and add the curry leaves – careful, they crackle. Sprinkle in the yellow asaffetida powder, swirl the pan and empty the fried seasonings into the khichari. Stir the seasonings through, then return to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes or so, or until the rice is fully swollen and soft. If you desire a moist khichari, add a little boiling water now.
Serve: fold in the fresh coriander, and serve the khichari piping hot with a drizzle of warm ghee, and the accompaniments suggested above.

Patisa (Soan Papdi)
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup gramflour
1 1/4 cup plain flour (maida)
250 gms. ghee
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cup water
2 tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. cardamom seeds crushed coarsely
2 tsp. charmagaz (combination of 4 types of seeds)
(Charmagaz paste: Seed mixture - muskmelon, watermelon,
pumpkin, cucumber seeds in equal quantites.)
4" squares cut from a thin polythene sheet
Method
Sift both flours together.
Heat ghee in a heavy saucepan.
Add flour mixture and roast on low till light golden.
Keep aside to cool a little, stirring occasionally.
Prepare syrup simultaneously.
Make syrup out of sugar, water and milk as shown in section on syrups
and thread test below.
Bring syrup to 2 1/2 thread consistency.
Pour at once into the flour mixture.
Beat well with a large fork till the mixture forms threadlike flakes.
Pour onto a greased surface or thali and roll to 1" thickness lightly.
Sprinkle the charmagaz seeds and elaichi and gently press down with
palm.
Cool, cut into 1" squares, wrap individually into square pieces of
thin plastic sheet.
Store in airtight container.
Making time: 45 minutes
Makes: 20 pieces (approx.)
Shelflife: 2 weeks
Thread test:
Consistency in sugar syrup is measure by the thread test. Whenever
slightly cooled syrup checked by the pinch method, between indexfinger
and thumb, it forms threads depending on how much it has boiled. If no
thread is form and pinching shows only wateriness then no thread is formed.
Following is the thread test (tar) to check required consistency of
syrup (chashni). If no thread is formed, but there is stickiness in the
syrup when tested, then it is 3/4 tar (thread). This consistency is generally
used in dipping sweets like, gulabjamoon, boondi, jalebi, imarti, etc.
Boil some more and when 1 tar forms, it is used in soaking pancake pancakes
like malpua. On further boiling two tars are obtained and this is used
in sweets like burfis, mohanthal, etc. At this stage a drop of syrup dropped
on a plate will form a soft ball when cooled. After this stage do no stir
briskly and continuously or the sugar will recrystallise. Still further
boiling will form 2 1/2 to 3 tars and this syrup is used to get a white
coating of sugar on sweets like balushahi, surti ghari, etc. At this stage
when the syrup is dropped in a plate it will form a hard ball when cooled.
Following are the steps shown to make sugar syrup (chashni) in the
right way.
Take sugar and water in the ratio of 2 : 1 1/2 unless other wise mentioned.
Put both in a deep saucepan to boil, stirring occasionally.
When the mixture comes to a boil, add 1/2 cup milk.
When a thick scum is formed on the surface of syrup, it is time to
strain.
Always use a metal strainer or moist cloth to strain the hot syrup,
never plastic.
Put back to boil, checking the consistency required as above.
Check frequently, because once the first thread forms, it proceeds
to thicken to the next stages very quickly.
Use as required in the recipe.
Make syrup side by side of making the recipe, reheating the syrup too
many times will alter the texture of the resulting sweet dish.
To save time, prepare the syrup on a second burner, while making the
rest of the recipe. This will avoid excess wastage of time and unnecessary
cooling off, of the fried flours, etc. as the recipe demands.

Making Food Sacred - Offering
our food to Krishna:
....excerpt from lecture by HDG Srila A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada - Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.3.1-3 -- San Francisco,
March 28, 1968
The Vedic literature says like this, that God has no leg, no hand. Therefore the impersonalists take advantage of it. "Oh, here it is stated God has no legs, no hands." But the next line is, javana grhita: "He can accept everything which you offer Him in devotion."
Now how He can accept? If He has no hand, how He can accept things from us? That means He hasn't got a hand like us. His hand is different. Therefore even though He is situated in the spiritual world, which is far, far away from us, still, He says in the Bhagavad-gita, it is said,
patram puspam phalam toyam
yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam
asnami prayatatmanah
Krsna says that "A little flower or little water or a little leaf, whatever My devotee offers Me in love and devotion, I accept it." And tad aham bhakty-upahrtam. "And because he has brought it with great devotion, therefore I eat." Tad aham bhakty-upahrtam asnami. Asnami means "I eat." Now you can say, "All right, I'll offer these fruits and flower to God, but it is the same. It is remaining. How He is eating?" But His eating is not like my eating, because He hasn't got a body like this. This body is material. If you bring me a plate of fruits, this body immediately swallows it. But He has got spiritual body. He eats... Simply as soon as He knows that you have offered it in devotion, He eats immediately.
Go here to follow the simple system for offering
foodstuffs to the Lord
... and always
with the Magic ingredient - Offer it to Krishna.....
... with L'n D (love and devotion)

Points of View
I don't know if Shel was actually a vegetarian or not, but he did do
some pro-veg works like the following:
Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless,
Christmas dinner's dark and blue,
When you stop and try to see it
From the turkey's point of view.
Sunday dinner isn't funny
Easter feasts are just bad luck,
When you see it from the viewpoint
Of the chicken or the duck.
Oh, how I once loved tuna salad,
Pork and lobsters, lamb chops,
too,
Till I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner's point of view.

lyrics)
Pictures of Animals in the womb
showing their maturation and development much the same as humans
http://prisonplanet.com/articles/november2006/231106animals.htm
They are alive in the womb, they grow in the womb, they take birth,
they mature, they have their own families, and reproduce.
"They" are spiritual beings who simply took their birth in the animal
kingdom.
Please read Bhagavad Gita http://www.asitis.com/

Cruelty to Animals: Mechanized Madness
Watch the Video
Animals on today's factory farms have no legal protection from cruelty that would be illegal if it were inflicted on dogs or cats: neglect, mutilation, genetic manipulation, and drug regimens that cause chronic pain and crippling, transport through all weather extremes, and gruesome and violent slaughter. Yet farmed animals are no less intelligent or capable of feeling pain than are the dogs and cats we cherish as companions.

Pepsi and Coca Cola Contains PORK (PIG) extracts - PROVEN!!
Shocking / Bad News :
Pepsi and Coca Cola contains extract
from Pork (Pig)
Most of the people avoid Pepsi
and Coca-Cola for various reasons:-
because of harmful chemical contents
such as excessive carbonates, etc.
Now there is yet another reason which is more dangerous. The scientific and medical research says that drinking Pepsi & Cola leads to cancer because the key element is taken from Pigs sausage.
The pig is the only animal that eats dirt, dung and urine, which makes lethal and deadly fabric polluted germs and microbes.
According to a report published in Jordanian magazine, the Head of Delhi University Science and Technology , Dr. Mangoshada scientifically proved that the key element in Pepsi and Cola contains extract from the intestines of Pig which causes cancer and other deadly diseases.
The Indian university conducted tests on the impact of drinking Pepsi and Coca Cola which proved that drinking them lead to more rapid heart rate and low pressure.
Also drinking 6 bottles of Pepsi
or Cola at a time causes instant death. It also contains chemicals such
as carbonic and phosphoric acids, citric acid which harms teeth and causes
bone fragility. Bones kept in the Cup of Pepsi melts during the week knowing
that the bones of the dead remain in the grave for thirty years.
Research itself confirmed that
the calcium dissolved in Pepsi and it weakens the bladder, kidneys, kills
the pancreatic, leads to diabetes and infectious diseases.
Pepsi or Coca-Cola lovers nothing to worry as it is not the only drinks available on this earth, as we have other healthy alternatives such as natural fruit juices, canned coconut water, flavoured milks, buttermilk etc.., all of them are conveniently available even in the small stores.

“If anyone wants to save the
planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat.
That’s the single most important
thing you could do. It’s staggering when you think about it.
Vegetarianism takes care of
so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty.”
--Sir Paul McCartney
