Puree ingredients together except for cheese and pine nuts. Add puree, pine nuts and cheese to saucepan and heat.

Blend butter and sugar. Add flour, baking powder, and milk and pour into a 13x9 or 10x10 pan. Mix cocoa, salt, and packed brown sugar and sprinkle over cake mixture. Pour BOILING water over the top (this is easier if the cake is sitting in the oven on a rack that's been pulled out). Bake in preheated oven at 350 for about 40 minutes. Serve warm with lots of milk!

Rinse and pick over the beans. Cook them in 4 cups of water for 1-2 hours until beans are grown to their full size and tender. Combine the turkey, onions and garlic in a skillet and sear until the meat is lightly browned. Transfer this mixture to a large pot, add the remaining ingredients, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour. I'm pretty sure sticking all this in a crockpot and cooking all day will net you a very nice chili.

Sprinkle the prawns with the mixed chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and kosher salt. I realize I have no actual amounts here, but it's pretty much 'until it looks right'. Oh, cumin and/or mexican oregano would be good in that combination too. Probably chili powder will be the heaviest, but don't skimp on the salt. Saute the prawns in 1/2 tbs butter, and be careful not to overcook them, lest they turn rubbery.
