 Stir in garlic & cook another minute.  Add water, tomato paste & spices.

 and cook another 30 minutes.  Add more water if necessary.  Remove bay leaf

 Serving Suggestions:
 2-Way : spaghetti topped with chili
 3-Way : spaghetti topped with chili & ff cheddar cheese
 4-Way : spaghetti topped with chili & ff cheddar cheese & chopped onions
 5-Way : spaghetti topped with chili & ff cheddar cheese & chopped onions &
                         pinto beans
 Variations:
         I've added other vegetables such as zucchini and peppers and mushrooms.
 Another topping could be yogurt.  Purists demand oyster crackers (warning: 
 they are not low in fat).
