NOTES : Fellow Netters:
here is a vegetarian chili recipe which is really delicious.
Don't let the moderately long list of ingredients throw you. As
is indicated, all the work consists of chopping and measuring... It
is cooked in essentially two steps. It could *not* be simpler! [Note,
I do not know the origin of this recipe. I believe it is from a
commercial cookbook. My apologies to the author.]

[The ingredients for this recipe are organized
into two piles since everything but the oil
is added in two batches.]
