COVID is now endemic and won't be going away anytime soon.
I have always had a compromised immune system so I have always tried to wash
my hands often and avoid sick people if possible. My dad came home from
being hospitalized with a raging case of COVID and since I lived with them,
I caught the katy,
So far so good though: I have not been sick from a viral or a bacterial
disease since. Just chronic illnesses.
Good news: my diabetic pharmacist put me on a super-concentrated form of
insulin glargine (long-acting insulin) called Toujeo Max and my A1C dropped
from 12% to 8.3%. I feel much better and have had energy to do things I
haven't had in a while. I also have a continuous glucose monitor (a
Freestyle Libre 2) and that is a huge help.

Title: Good Old Chilli Con Carne
Categories: Loo, Stews, Main dish, Beef
Yield: 8 Servings
2 md Onions
2 Cloves garlic
2 md Carrots
2 Sticks celery
2 Red peppers
Olive oil
1 Heaped ts chilli powder
1 Heaped ts ground cumin
1 Heaped ts ground cinnamon
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
400 g Tinned chickpeas
400 g Tinned red kidney beans
2 x 400 g tinned chopped
Tomatoes
500 g Quality minced beef
1 sm Bunch fresh coriander
2 tb Balsamic vinegar
400 g Basmati rice
500 g Natural yoghurt
230 g Guacamole
1 Lime
Peel and finely chop the onions, garlic, carrots and celery u donAt
worry about the technique, just chop away until fine. Halve the red
peppers, remove the stalks and seeds and roughly chop. Place your
largest casserole-type pan on a medium high heat. Add 2 lugs of olive
oil and all your chopped vegetables. Add the chilli powder, cumin and
cinnamon with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir every 30 sec for
around 7 min until softened and lightly coloured.
Add the drained chickpeas, drained kidney beans and the tinned
tomatoes. Add the minced beef, breaking any larger chunks up with a
wooden spoon. Fill one of the empty tomato tins with water and pour
this into the pan. Pick the coriander leaves and place them in the
fridge. Finely chop the washed stalks and stir in. Add the balsamic
vinegar and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to the
boil and turn the heat down to a simmer with a lid slightly askew for
about an hour, stirring every now and again to stop it catching.
This is fantastic served with fluffy rice. Just divide the rice and
chilli into big bowls or serve in the middle of the table and let
everyone help themselves. If you donAt fancy rice itAs equally good
with a nice hunk of fresh crusty bread, over a jacket potato or with
couscous. Put a small bowl of natural yoghurt, some guacamole and a
few wedges of lime on the table, and sprinkle the chilli with the
coriander leaves. I love to add a nice green salad to round it off.
