IBC and others Personally my idea of a 1000 calorie a day spicy diet consists of a simple recipe: Ingedients: 5 Bottles of Samuel Adams 3 Ripe Orange Habaneros Through out the day consume one sliced Habanero for each meal. If additional heat is desired, red savinas maybe substituted for the orange habs. Chase each sliced pepper with a bottle of Samuel Adams. Any hoppy IPA style microbrew may be substituted for Samuel Adams. If American Style Beer is preferred substitute 6 bottles of Miller Light. Consume an additional bottle for an afternoon snack and one for dessert or as a nightcap. On a more serious note: My wife is vegetarian and a quick netscape search for "Spicy Vegetarian" uncovered a wealth of links including some that actually discussed food. As most Chile Heads know if you search on Hot or Spicy you dont generally uncover food related links. Thus put your search in quotes. Most of the pay per view pages dont include the words spicy and vegetarian. http://www.sk.sympatico.ca/Contents/Health/HEALTHYWAY/rec_hot.html http://www.foodweb.com/virtualcookbook/vegrecipes.html http://www.veg.org/ Hot regards, PT in Va
