A large part of my respiratory woes comes from a 45 year 2-packs per
day cigarette habit. My croaker, several years ago, showed me a print
out of CAT scan of my lungs. It looked like someone had spilled coarse ground pepper in the page. Island of calcium scarring from the
nicotine addiction.

I was a bit luckier than you. I started smoking at age 15 or 16 and
quit at age 45. I don't really recall if I was getting symptoms or not,
but simply decided it was time to quit -- plus, where I was working was
going smoke-free and I would have had to walk up to 1/2 mile to get to
an outdoor smoker's area.

Nicorett and some sort of red chewing gum helped a lot. I am now smoke
free for almost 40 years. Where we live is a smoke free campus /
community and so it would not be an option now.

Title: Sausage Chili/stew
Categories: Easy, Testing
Yield: 4 Servings

7 oz Cooked smoked sausage
(cut in half, then sliced)
1/2 c Bell pepper, diced (or more)
1/2 c Celery, diced (or more)
1/2 c Onion, diced (or more)
1 tb Chili powder (or more)
1 ts Cumin (or more)
1 cn Chopped green chillies
1/2 c Chuncky salsa
16 oz Canned kidney beans *
16 oz Canned black beans *
*USE BEAN JUICE OR DRAIN.

Chop vegetables and brown slightly in 4 quart sauce pan. Use any oil
or spray in pan. Brown for 3 minutes over medium heat, add chili
powder and cumin, stir, heat another 2 minutes.

Add tomatoes,diced chilies and beans to pan, mix well simmer another 8
minutes.

Slice sausage (or dice) and add to mixture.

Simmer another 10 minutes on low to slightly thicken chili.

I choose to add the liquid of the canned beans, if you choose to
drain the liquid the end chili will be more dense. Fine with using
the bean liquid.

Remove from stove, place in container and placed in fridge for
flavors to mingle.

Will have for dinner tonight and add any comments.

Good use of leftover smoked sausage. Not a tru chili, but a sausage
stew type of thing. One serving in freezer - should freeze well.

I have trouble understanding why tobacco is permitted at all. It contains, after all, one of the deadliest poisons known to exist. Still, fortunes
have been made from peddling that poison as a beneficial products other
than a deadly chemical.

During my best attempt to uit smoking tobacco I almost wore a hole in
the front of my shirts reaching for that pack of Camels that wasn't
there. It took being in a coma for a week to finally get the nicotine
out my body and reduce the physical cravings. But I still found myself
reaching for the cancer sticks for a year or more afterward.
