The Cowboy Cook’s Prayer

Lord God, You know us old cowhands is forgetful. Sometimes I can't even recollect what happened yestiddy. We is forgetful. We just know daylight and dark, summer, fall, winter, and spring. But I sure hope we don't ever forget to thank You before we is about to eat a mess of good chili. We don't know why, in Your wisdom. You been so doggone good to us. The heathen Chinee don't have no chili, ever. The Frenchmens is left out. The Rooshians don't know no more about chili than a hog does about a sidesaddle. Even the Meskins don't get a good whiff of it unless they stay around here. Chili eaters is some of Your chosen people. We don't know why You so doggone good to us. But Lord, God, don't ever think we ain't grateful for this chili we about to eat. Amen.

Happy Thanksgiving!

“Chili May Control Insulin Spikes. Anyone concerned about type 2 diabetes should know that keeping insulin levels in check can reduce the risk that the hormone will lose its effect on controlling blood sugar. A group of Australian researchers has proposed that chili might help do the trick. The team tested chili/cayenne pepper mix on 36 healthy overweight (but not obese) adults whose average age was 46. First, they tested insulin levels after three weeks of bland food and, then, an unseasoned hamburger eaten following an over-night fast. A week later, they tested insulin levels after the participants ate burgers seasoned with the chili spice mix. These tests showed that insulin levels were lower than they had been after the unseasoned burger a week earlier. After repeating the whole cycle but with the chili mix added to the participants' regular diets, insulin levels remained lower than they had been after three weeks of bland foods. The researchers said they aren't sure how chili acts to control insulin levels and
called for more studies to find out. The study was published in the July 1, 2006 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” (Candace Knight-Arevalo)
