Lynn's Chili Colorado

20 Dried red chili pods, 
1/4 ts Cilantro seeds 
1/4 ts Cumin seeds 
1 t Dried oregano 
4 cl Garlic 
1/4 c Onion, coarsely chopped 
1 t Salt 3
 c Warm water 

 Coarsely grind the cilantro and cumin seeds in a spice grinder, and then put into the bowl of the food processor. Break the chili pods into small pieces, and coarsely grind in the spice grinder, and then add to food processor bowl. Add the garlic and onion to the food processor, and process until the onions are chopped. Add the remaining ingredients and process until pureed. Place the mixture in a 2-quart casserole dish. Cover and microwave on 70% (medium high) for twenty minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. (I assume you could make it on top of the stove, too.)

Experience is the comb life gives you after you lose your hair.
