Would you like some dinner with your Turmeric?

On Tuesday night I made white orange chicken chili. I used organic white beans, low-sodium chicken broth, organic chicken (grilled), shredded cheese, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, and a whole lot of turmeric. We've been trying to add some turmeric to our meals, because it is supposed to fight cancer. It's almost flavorless, so I thought I would add a little more than usual (4 tsp) to the chili and fight cancer hard tonight. I did not anticipate the spice turning my chili orange. I don't know why, because it was white chili and the spice is bright orange. My two-year-old probably could have told me that. Needless to say, it tasted pretty much the same, but eating something that orange kind of freaked me out.

The picture doesn't look too orange, but trust me - it was ORANGE.
