Just made this tonight!! Major Hit in my home even my 8 yro Loved it. I left out the Cayenne pepper and Jalapeno it was Still really spicy. labor of Love, We were all working in the kitchen to chop up the ingredients!!
Ok, so i did this for the second time today, and my girlfriend and me are SOOO Much in love with this chilly. I just add a little bit of avocado to the mixed tomatoes, that makes it a little bit creamier. But it's amaaaazing! you are an inspiration Kristina. Thank you and greetings from the beautiful and sunny prague!
you have such a positive energy kristina, and you speak so calm and soothing and very eloquent! I don't eat fully raw but I love to get inspiration for good food from your channel.
Omg, so good! I didn't make as much base because I'm poor and cannot afford 3 cups of sundried tomatoes🙈 so I used 1/2 cup with 2 Roma tomatoes, still made a thick base. I then added a date to enhance the flavor. Instead of chopping the veggies, I processed them with avocado and like I said omg! So good, will be making again!
This is the most amazing chili ever!!!! It has so much flavor and it taste like actual chii, not beans and soup like most vegan chilis. Great Recipe Kristina!!!!
FullyRawKristina Where did you get your Sundried Tomatoes? Out of everything here, those are my only concern, as they are pretty expensive. Where I'm at in Texas, we only have wal-marts and HEB's. The recipe looks so delicious. lol
I was just thinking on how I wanted some yummy Chili on this cold night and here you are with this incredible Chili oh so yummy recipe! I am beginning to realize than nothing is off limits in creating delicious raw dishes that could not even come close to comparing or missing the traditional cooked dishes! A BIG thumbs UP and heartifull thanks to you Kristina!
I think it would be better if you mixed the spices and tomatoes together in the blender so they get mixed evenly. That looks really tasty though, maybe I'll make it this summer from my own garden so that the costs are manageable.
I'm french and vegan and you are my inspiration to have a fullyraw lifestyle, thank you ♥ and a lot of love from France. I'm sorry for my english I hope you understand. Bisou ;)
Kristina I would like to thank you so much! You have no idea how you have helped me. I am now transitioning from a conventional eater to a vegan and raw lifestyle. I truly appreciate you.
I made this last night and it is amazing! I added a few more spices but I was really impressed. My hubby ate his on top of a baked potato! The key in my opinion to this recipe is the sun-dried tomatoes. It gives it a savory robust flavor. Not sure it would taste as good without those bad boys!
this looks so yummy!! my mouth is watering just watching the vid lol. Gonna try and make this tmrrw! Although I will probably add the jalapeño in the blender with the base/sauce that way it gets mixed in evenly so i'm not eating chunks of jalapeño but that just my preference lol. Love your recipes! it would be kinda cool to see more lebanese recipes!! I still use your tabbouleh recipe cause its that good lol.
I love this. .. thanks for the recipes and your fun energy. I'm vegan...mostly raw... your channel is helping me with new easy and healthy options to try that fit my lifestyle. I teach many group exercise classes and train. . these types of foods power me through long exhausting days
On Feb 11th I started my fully raw journey! :) I am so happy and excited, and feel GREAT!!! I just want to tell you are a true inspiration to me, and I truly appreciate that you live fully raw, and don't show us recipes using things that aren't raw. I am 100% raw, and am working on getting my nut and seed intake down, as I am currently more than a handful. But it is raw, so I am not beating myself up too much. A million THANK YOUs to you! You have changed my life more than you can imagine, and quite frankly, saved it.
I am inspired by these recipes. Have been vegetarian for about 35 years but only tried veganism for a few months. Haven't tried raw food eating plans yet! Thanks for a really positive series of videos. X
Absolutely nothing, thank you. Your raw food message is fine, but using spices in uncooked food (specifically un-fried) means that the piquancy of the spice is not released. Pointless. You're just playing games. If you must give advice, tell folk to eat fruit. Or whatever else you feel like saying.
I would love to see more recipes that incorporate greens - more than just kale, though kale is good :) And more recipes with some lesser used veggies and fruits. Can you eat winter squash raw? Do you eat cauliflower and broccoli raw - or other brassica's? And how about some wild foods, that would be fun! :) I enjoy your videos, and the recipes I've tried have been excellent. The strawberry shortcake didn't look as pretty as yours did - it kind of collapsed - but it tasted good - made it for V-day :)
You are absolutely, breathtakingly gorgeous! You literally are glowing from the inside out, your skin is absolutely dewy and perfect! I am planning on going raw in April! Thank you for the wonderful videos!
I am not raw or even a vegan, but this looks really really good!!! I am going to have to save this one. I feel like it would go good with some tortillas for those comfortable with eating cooked grains.
I just make the base and eat it with cos lettuce, it is so addictive nice!! I should actually just complete the full recipe someday though lol but the texture and flavour of the combined tomatoes is heavenly, have added a couple dates and figs to the base too..
Kristina, this was AMAAAZZZING! Crunchy, tomato base, every bite was filled and bursting with flavours! I can have this every night! Had it first at room temperature then straight from the fridge, it didn't change the texture at all! Wow! Possible recipe can be shepherd's pie! :-) You have already done lasagna, which I will be trying soon! Many thanks!!
I wonder if I would put the mushrooms in with the tomato base, to "beef" it up. In any case, this looks amazing and I can imagine how it would taste (the flavor combo is a fav of mine). Can't wait to try it out~ I may even squeeze some lime on it before eating!
I love the passion and energy Kristina puts into her videos, she's having great fun and loving it, bravo! I too am lucky enough to have a passion and love my work as a sign language interpreter in Superior Court.
I'm not a vegan, nor do I eat raw, but I subscribed because I really enjoy your videos. Your personality brightens my day and makes me happy! I also like your videos because it motivates me to eat healthy since I have a sweet tooth.
thank God for weekends b/c i made alot of the recipes over the weekends and it worked out good cause i usually have enough to eat for work lunches for the week - thanks for that! anyway, i had this on Saturday night - when i would normally eat Chinese or Subway. for someone who normally likes chilis heated this was...different, definitely different. not as bad as the minestrone soup (cause i don't like soups). very tomato-y but i like tomatoes, not really sure i care for the carrots but i did like the way what i had came together with it...i may try it again, though
Very good, I mix the herbs and spices in the food processor with the tomatoes so the flavours blend more. I make a similar mix for vegan tacos on lettuce leaves.
Submit that hot stuff, baby!! Maybe it will blow the judges' minds that anything not containing cow, pig or cooked can taste so good! Thanks for another great recipe.
+Chelsea Garner lol seriously hearing stuff like the makes you "cringe" lol people never seize to amaze me on TH-cam with the things that make hem "cringe" lmaooo
People have diverse physical, literal differences in taste perception. Don't be so judgy. I feel exactly the same about tomatoes so I wonder if I could actually make this just with red peppers and....idk, something else "creamier." Tomatoes are the only food I truly can not eat without gagging. I gag just smelling them, despite very genuine attempts to overcome it.
So here is a question I have. If raw living and eating is a better way, why imitate non-raw items? it is almost like saying I hate soccer and then create another sport that "Looks like" Soccer right? is it because non-raw food is actually tastier and indeed better for you or is it because you miss non-raw life and want to imitate it? Either way you can only answer that!
It's because most people won't try a raw vegan diet because they miss the foods they've always knew. So having an alternative to your favorite food that is healthy makes you more likely to try since you can still have somewhat of that flavor you love. I can vouch for that as a new vegan, I used to love pasta, now I eat the healthier raw version which is zucchini pasta. I still get my pasta, but healthier :)
Jasmin Rose Zucchini pasta is not pasta... you know that, it does not taste or even look the same when raw. I completely agree with steven MANMAN - why would you imitate? there's so many fruit and veg which you can eat and enjoy fully raw diet, why bother making up all those recipes? Plus why would you want to convert people into raw vegan diet so much? and also does Kristina actually eat like this? I suspect she mainly eats fruit and salads. just dont get it. She's not even showing the eating part - only one tiny bite and a lot of umm ahh mmm yeah OMG this is sooo good.. well if it is I would like to see her eating the whole bowl :D
It's all about variety and making the food exciting to eat. If you eat chicken, you're not gonna want to just eat the same chicken everyday. You're gonna want fried chicken, baked chicken, chicken parmesan, chicken alfredo, etc. Give her a break! Just because she's eating raw doesn't mean she just wants to eat salads and fruit all the time. That's boring.
ever notice that her videos could be like about 5 minutes shorter if there wasn't so much LOOK AT MY FACE going on. even ingredient introduction has to have her face involved in every ingredient
Maybe, maybe not! Have you ever made any of these recipes? I am always amazed how much food tastes when it is made this way. Although no one is around when I do my taste test, the food and the process of putting it together is really worth it. If she bugs you so much with her ways, don't watch her. :)
There is no essential nutrient in meat, grains, legumes, or dairy that is not also available in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and in a form that is easier to digest.
This chili is the best ever!! My daughter and I love eating fresh ingredients!!! Thank you for your awesome recipes!! Bought some persimmons ... can't wait to see what they taste like.
MeLLi B Because she doesn't need them. She gets the same nutrients from raw plants , nuts , seeds, and fruit. Not to mention a lot goes into preparing beans. You have to soak overnight, and they take a long time to cook so it's just easier to eat other foods.
I wouldn't say that, beans are easy to cook in an electric pressure cooker, just dump them in and it's ready in 10 minutes. You can also get the canned organic fully cooked beans.
+R!na a bean option could be green or yellow beans or peas removed from the pods. Those can be eaten raw. One of the reasons I would never go permanently raw is because you would have to eliminate so many nutritious foods such as beans, oats or yogurt. I understand that raw foodists don't wanna cook vegetables so they get all of the nutrients; but if you refuse to eat beans, you won't get any of the nutrients at all. Half of something is better than all of nothing. Feel free to add beans to this recipe.
vegetarian, yes...raw, no. I am not fully raw but I do love raw veggies and fruit. I have naturally preferred them over cooked food since I was a child. Beans are not easily digested in raw form. Besides, as any Texan knows, chili doesn't have beans...raw or not ;)
Yea so the only "cooking" that needs to be done is to soften the indigestible parts, I don't understand what's so "nutrionally lacking" if you don't eat those. In fact, any diet that prevents you from having beans because of "nutrients lacking" is a bullshit diet, in my opinion because beans are unbelievably healthy, as are other legumes. Please don't be so misinformed as to restrict yourself away from such a vital food source xP
cleopad5 I eat beans, they are a healthy part of my diet. I was just commenting on the fact that for a person who eats "fully" raw I don't believe they would. Those who eat raw until 4 might.
cleopad5 C'mon, don't be so negative. Let everyone do what they want. If you know something others don't know, share it with them in love and understanding. People are more likely to listen to what you're saying if you present it to them in the right spirit. I do believe you have a point. I agree with a lot that you've said. But please, lose the edge. We're all striving to be as healthy as possible. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge though :) Take care.
Just made this tonight!! Major Hit in my home even my 8 yro Loved it. I left out the Cayenne pepper and Jalapeno it was Still really spicy. labor of Love, We were all working in the kitchen to chop up the ingredients!!
Oh God, please don't feed your kids raw. They deserve to grow up healthy
Ok, so i did this for the second time today, and my girlfriend and me are SOOO Much in love with this chilly. I just add a little bit of avocado to the mixed tomatoes, that makes it a little bit creamier. But it's amaaaazing! you are an inspiration Kristina. Thank you and greetings from the beautiful and sunny prague!
did she say she was gonna submit this for the Texas chili bowl....Texans love their chili.... HOTTT
And BEEFY!!! Lol!
you have such a positive energy kristina, and you speak so calm and soothing and very eloquent! I don't eat fully raw but I love to get inspiration for good food from your channel.
Omg, so good! I didn't make as much base because I'm poor and cannot afford 3 cups of sundried tomatoes🙈 so I used 1/2 cup with 2 Roma tomatoes, still made a thick base. I then added a date to enhance the flavor. Instead of chopping the veggies, I processed them with avocado and like I said omg! So good, will be making again!
Is is weird that I watch each of your videos multiple times without getting bored? I just love your voice and your attitude it really calms me down :)
It must be weird to eat cold chili.....
Olivia D it’s just a little chilly
daniel yay! GOOD ONE!😂
You can just let it sit out for an hour
Never mind what I said. Omit the avocado and let it sit out in the hot sun for a few hours.
If it’s not hot then too bad so sad
In summer it's perfect 👍
This is the most amazing chili ever!!!! It has so much flavor and it taste like actual chii, not beans and soup like most vegan chilis. Great Recipe Kristina!!!!
I might need to get another job to try this recipe but it looks great.
This bowl cost me less than $13, and I couldn't even finish the entire thing! :)
FullyRawKristina Where did you get your Sundried Tomatoes? Out of everything here, those are my only concern, as they are pretty expensive. Where I'm at in Texas, we only have wal-marts and HEB's. The recipe looks so delicious. lol
😂😂😂
To make an equal cooked meat version, it would be about the same price.
@@averagetanker5797 I know £10 (15USD). Is my weekly food budget
I was just thinking on how I wanted some yummy Chili on this cold night and here you are with this incredible Chili oh so yummy recipe! I am beginning to realize than nothing is off limits in creating delicious raw dishes that could not even come close to comparing or missing the traditional cooked dishes!

That sounds amazing too! :) I didn't think of that! :)
I was just thinking that...then read this comment 😆😍

O M G I just made this, and it makes going vegan even better
Wow. That really looks like chilli. This channel never ceases to amaze me how resourceful Kristina is with making her version on classic dishes. 😋
"its fat free!" , except for the avocado :)
But good thing that avocado is healthy fat and it has omega 3s and are extremely good for you in small quantities
I am inspired by these recipes. Have been vegetarian for about 35 years but only tried veganism for a few months. Haven't tried raw food eating plans yet! Thanks for a really positive series of videos. X
What fun recipes would you like to see me create?! Please leave your answer below! :)

nobaloneyhomosapiens that’s a great idea
I made this a few months ago and skipped some steps but it still came out awesome, you are so creative and helped me create magic!
Kristina! This look unreal! What a fresh, filling and delicious recipe idea! Keep it up!
I just tried this- it is super yummy! The whole family loved it:) Thank you!
I just make the base and eat it with cos lettuce, it is so addictive nice!! I should actually just complete the full recipe someday though lol but the texture and flavour of the combined tomatoes is heavenly, have added a couple dates and figs to the base too..
This looks delicious, never realized raw food could be so tasty and substantial, love your recipes they inspire me 😄
mmm this is great for left over veggies at the end of the week
YES! :)
Made this for my family for dinner tonight, and they loved it! amazing recipe!
Kristina, this was AMAAAZZZING!
Crunchy, tomato base, every bite was filled and bursting with flavours! I can have this every night! Had it first at room temperature then straight from the fridge, it didn't change the texture at all! Wow!
Possible recipe can be shepherd's pie! :-) You have already done lasagna, which I will be trying soon!
Many thanks!!
This looks amazing Kristina! Loved the bloopers at the end haha!
I wonder if I would put the mushrooms in with the tomato base, to "beef" it up. In any case, this looks amazing and I can imagine how it would taste (the flavor combo is a fav of mine). Can't wait to try it out~ I may even squeeze some lime on it before eating!
You can totally do that!! YUM!
FullyRawKristina
Hi, I just do not understand how someone gives up hot food?. Chili is amazing and I would so try yours! Just...how and why?
I love the passion and energy Kristina puts into her videos, she's having great fun and loving it, bravo! I too am lucky enough to have a passion and love my work as a sign language interpreter in Superior Court.
Oh my lord, that looks sooooo good.
I'm not a vegan, nor do I eat raw, but I subscribed because I really enjoy your videos. Your personality brightens my day and makes me happy! I also like your videos because it motivates me to eat healthy since I have a sweet tooth.
Yes it looks aaaaaammmmmaaaaziiinnggg!!!! Epic as you say.
Go for it and submit to cook-off! Yeah baby!
really good recipe. I also added some brown rice and chickpea's and tabasco sauce.
thank God for weekends b/c i made alot of the recipes over the weekends and it worked out good cause i usually have enough to eat for work lunches for the week - thanks for that! anyway, i had this on Saturday night - when i would normally eat Chinese or Subway. for someone who normally likes chilis heated this was...different, definitely different. not as bad as the minestrone soup (cause i don't like soups). very tomato-y but i like tomatoes, not really sure i care for the carrots but i did like the way what i had came together with it...i may try it again, though
This is a hearty satisfying bowl of love! And sun dried tomatoes are divine
Will try - btw - love it when you sing! More please
Thank you!! Ok! :)
Best raw recipe ever! Thank you for sharing this, had it for dinner tonight and it was so good & extremely satisfying :)
it just look… faaaaabulous ! *.*
My Husbands favorite Food is Chili and in the Winter it is our main staple, that I must have on hand at all times! Thank you for this!
Looks delicious. Hope to try it one day.
you're so creative! with you eating raw looks so fun!
I'm a new subscriber and I adore your videos, everything looks so yummy! Have you ever done a fully raw curry dish?
That looks absolutely delicious! And your singing voice is as beautiful as your talking voice!
Eating raw is great for summer, but what about when it's cold outside? I need hot cooked food for winter!
raw doesn't mean cold..warm it on a dehydrator or use the warm setting in rice/pressure cooker..not exceeding 118 degrees
Still not hot enough for me. I will stick to my cooked vegan food. :)
+Paula Roussel because sometimes when it's hot there are great recipes
That's your opinion, and you are welcome to it. As I am.
Thank you Maria!
Every video you post I fall more and more in love with you! You're so beautiful and compassionate and just have this amazing glow about you
how many times did she say "diced" in the beginning lmao
+Tom Riddle well...there were multiple diced items on the table so she...said they were diced. lmao not that crazy.
Lmaoo word
"diced cilantro"
Imma make this , this week!!! It will rid of my diabetec symptoms! Thanks Kristina!
What do you eat for protein? I think I could eat that entire bowl and still be hungry an hour later
There's protein in the tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, and cucumbers just to name a few. ;-)
Very good, I mix the herbs and spices in the food processor with the tomatoes so the flavours blend more. I make a similar mix for vegan tacos on lettuce leaves.
please do a video about your hair! how you maintain it your length and stuff ^^♥
Thank you! I will! :)
Definitely trying this delicious and healthy recipe!!! Thank you!!!
Yummmm gonna try this! But no jalapeño for me!
FullyRawKristina
ditto girl! :)
JUST A LITLE BIT DO NOT ADD MUCH
+Lorra Fae So u gonna make chili without chili? tsk tsk
I have so much to learn. I'm watching this stuff all day. I know it takes time and balance to make it mine and I'm willing to work it.
Submit that hot stuff, baby!! Maybe it will blow the judges' minds that anything not containing cow, pig or cooked can taste so good! Thanks for another great recipe.
I'm loving your channel!! I agree, that tomato sauce from the beginning would be delicious on its own!!
Could you do a FullyRaw home-style Indian curry? x
someone told me you cant eat curry raw. im not sure if its true
crazycatlady1313 if its just vegetables and spices (minus the potatoes) sure you can.
oh ok thank you :)
sure thing :)
HAAAAPPPPPYYYYY BIRTHDAY KRISTINA:)
Have a great one with your family and friends!!
You are amazing, stay as you are!! Lots of love from Germany
Fat Free....only if you left out the avocado! Not fat free but is nut free and looks delish!
***** As soon as she said that I cringed!
+Chelsea Garner lol seriously hearing stuff like the makes you "cringe" lol people never seize to amaze me on TH-cam with the things that make hem "cringe" lmaooo
Nailed it! You really outdid yourself on this one, Kristina! I absolutely loved it!
I wish Kristina could be my private chef. :)
I took this to our friends house for my "addition" to the meal so they wouldn't freak out. Guess what? They LOVED it!!! Thanks Kristina!
OH MY GOD THIS LOOKS GOOD!
Nice! This looks amazing Kristina, once again well done!!
how is it fat free when there are avocados in it
I love love this chili... Thank you Kristina, I want to give you a big hug for the chili idea!!!!!!!
I hate tomatoes .. I hate how they taste, I hate the smell of it, I even hate how soft and round they look.
It's ok some people hate some foods like for example I ain't like oranges.
People have diverse physical, literal differences in taste perception. Don't be so judgy. I feel exactly the same about tomatoes so I wonder if I could actually make this just with red peppers and....idk, something else "creamier." Tomatoes are the only food I truly can not eat without gagging. I gag just smelling them, despite very genuine attempts to overcome it.
We would not get along 😂
Lol i dont know if you serious or not but 😂😂
Thank you Kristina - I am TOTALLY making this for dinner TONIGHT!!!!!
are you from the bay? you said hella :p haha
Yea…Texas. Look up Rawfully Organic..She is so amazing
ohh nevermind then cause hella is a bay thing
Cold chili ... & how did you cook the corn & beans????
🌻✌️✌️✌️🌻

I will definitely be trying this recipe! Looks delicious!
THIS IS A SALAD,NOT A CHILI.
Oh.my.god. This looks amazing. Totally making this for dinner tomorrow!
It's amazing!! :)
She fakes her taste testing SO much. Jesus.
ever notice that her videos could be like about 5 minutes shorter if there wasn't so much LOOK AT MY FACE going on. even ingredient introduction has to have her face involved in every ingredient
poohbear5050 Ikr
poohbear5050 hahahaha its true!! haven't noticed
You're such a judgmental person. Get positive. Real fast.
Maybe, maybe not! Have you ever made any of these recipes? I am always amazed how much food tastes when it is made this way. Although no one is around when I do my taste test, the food and the process of putting it together is really worth it. If she bugs you so much with her ways, don't watch her. :)
I would call this summer chili salad😊
Why doesnt she eat beans? I know she's raw, but what's the value of discluding legumes from her diet
There is no essential nutrient in meat, grains, legumes, or dairy that is not also available in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and in a form that is easier to digest.
You don't have to cook beans if you get them fresh from the garden or greengrocer
you can eat beans raw, but they need to be soaked for a day first
This chili is the best ever!! My daughter and I love eating fresh ingredients!!! Thank you for your awesome recipes!! Bought some persimmons ... can't wait to see what they taste like.
Why dont you eat beans?
MeLLi B they have to be cooked. Raw beans are like little rocks.
Lmao!!! I understand that but what is wrong with cooked beans?? I know they aren't considered a raw food but they are incredibly good for you.
MeLLi B Because she doesn't need them. She gets the same nutrients from raw plants , nuts , seeds, and fruit. Not to mention a lot goes into preparing beans. You have to soak overnight, and they take a long time to cook so it's just easier to eat other foods.
No offense but what is the point in trying a raw diet? I mean, FULLY raw that is...
I wouldn't say that, beans are easy to cook in an electric pressure cooker, just dump them in and it's ready in 10 minutes. You can also get the canned organic fully cooked beans.
I ate so much of this last summer I turned red lol. Delish!
Sorry girl, this looked nasty. Also WTF, no beans? Avocado & Zucchini? Really?
Don't knock it until you have tried it! It's awesome! :)
.
+Blues Junkie because beans have to be cooked and she's fully raw!
+Blues Junkie Because you can't eat beans raw man
+R!na a bean option could be green or yellow beans or peas removed from the pods. Those can be eaten raw.
One of the reasons I would never go permanently raw is because you would have to eliminate so many nutritious foods such as beans, oats or yogurt. I understand that raw foodists don't wanna cook vegetables so they get all of the nutrients; but if you refuse to eat beans, you won't get any of the nutrients at all.
Half of something is better than all of nothing. Feel free to add beans to this recipe.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!! This is AMAZING!!!
Um... why dont you eat beans? It's vegetarian and you're not even legitimately cooking it, just boiling it a bit to get rid of the hard parts....
vegetarian, yes...raw, no. I am not fully raw but I do love raw veggies and fruit. I have naturally preferred them over cooked food since I was a child. Beans are not easily digested in raw form. Besides, as any Texan knows, chili doesn't have beans...raw or not ;)
Yea so the only "cooking" that needs to be done is to soften the indigestible parts, I don't understand what's so "nutrionally lacking" if you don't eat those. In fact, any diet that prevents you from having beans because of "nutrients lacking" is a bullshit diet, in my opinion because beans are unbelievably healthy, as are other legumes. Please don't be so misinformed as to restrict yourself away from such a vital food source xP

I eat beans, they are a healthy part of my diet. I was just commenting on the fact that for a person who eats "fully" raw I don't believe they would. Those who eat raw until 4 might.
I meant "you" as a person who undergoes this diet. It's a figure of speech.
cleopad5 C'mon, don't be so negative. Let everyone do what they want. If you know something others don't know, share it with them in love and understanding. People are more likely to listen to what you're saying if you present it to them in the right spirit. I do believe you have a point. I agree with a lot that you've said. But please, lose the edge. We're all striving to be as healthy as possible. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge though :)
Take care.
