Every time I make this coleslaw, Darwin likes it a little better. He even asked for it for dinner, days after we finished the batch from this photo.

Rajma, a red kidney bean curry, is one of our top two or three favorite Indian meals. I make slight modifications to
this nearly-perfect recipe from the Smitten Kitchen.

| radish and pea pods, mushroom/spinach quiche, pear slices |
 |
| chicken, pea pods with yogurt dip, mango, kidney beans |
 |
| lentil stew, whole plain yogurt, soaked raisins, avocado |
When I decided I needed a lentil stew in my recipe collection,
this was the first one I loved. I got it out of a strange little cookbook/diet book based on the lifestyle of Seventh Day Adventists (which I sold at a yard sale last year, but not before photocopying the recipe.) I make some modifications: I soak the lentils first, and cook them together with the rice (for a total of about 40 minutes, veggies added halfway through); I use fresh garlic instead of powdered; and I use homemade chicken stock instead of water, when I have it.

See the radish "mushroom"? ;)
Research shows that best brown rice has the highest antioxidant activity of all the varieties, making it a nutritious choice ( 7 ). Antioxidants are compounds that protect cells from damage caused by an excess of molecules called free radicals, which contribute to a condition known as oxidative stress.
