    This is something new, I'm unable to eat meat of any kind now. The
    closest I can come is fish and seafood but even that makes me feel
    queesy for hours.

    So I have found TVP and it's giving me that ground meat kind of
    texture (Thankfully I am able to use stock, and can still eat soup).

    That's a definite bummer. Since it's all meat it probably wasn't a tick
    bite but the Alpha-gal allergy, also known as meat allergy or mammalian
    meat allergy. All the Der Bingle search engine tells me is "the
    underlying cause of a meat allergy is unknown"

    Sorry for your luck. Welcome to the world of Boca Burgers and Fish Stix.

    Title: Seitan Posole Stew
    Categories: Vegan, Stews, Chilies, Citrus
    Yield: 1 Stew

    1 c Dried posole or canned
    - hominy
    6 c Water or more
    1 ts Sea salt
    1 Bay leaf
    3 Dried chipotle chilies
    1 tb Chilli powder
    2 tb Corn or olive oil
    1 tb Whole cumin seed
    1 lg Onion; fine diced
    5 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 c Chopped jalapenos
    2 c Cooked seitan; cubed
    1 tb Mexican oregano
    1 ts Sage
    2 tb Fresh lime juice

    TO PREPARE POSOLE: rince dried posole and soak overnight
    (or up to 24 hours).

    Rinse and place in heavy pot with enough water to cover.
    Bring to a boil, then add sea salt, chipotle chilies and
    bay leaf. Cook for 3-4 hours, until tender, adding water
    as necessary. You can also pressure cook posole for one
    hour and simmer for an additional hour. The goal is to
    have the posole kernels split open and tender in a
    gently flavored broth.

    TO PREPARE STEW: saute cumin, onions, garlic and
    jalapenos in oil with a pinch of sea salt. When cumin
    is fragent and onions are translucent, add seitan cubes
    and continue to saute until seitan is seared. Add
    oregano and sage and saute for one more minute. Add
    mixture to posole and continue to cook for one hour.

    Taste and adjust seasonings about ten minutes before
    finishing. Add lime juice 5 minutes before finishing.
    Garnish with chopped tomatoes, avocado and cilantro.

    Serve with warm tortillas.

    COOK'S NOTE: when using canned posole or hominy, pre-
    soak the chipotles and chop finely before adding with
    bay leaf and salt. Cook for one hour before proceeding
    with the stew directions.

    I'm hoping it goes away on it's own. I'm still cooking meat for my

    EVen fish causes minor queasy. I'm in hell man.

    If they knew what to test for. I see the doctor again tomorrow and he
    will hopefully have some ideas. (That's actually where we left off,

    Title: One-Pan Shrimp Scampi w/Orzo
    Categories: Seafood, Citrus, Pasta, Wine, Chilies
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 lb Large (U25) shrimp; peeled,
    - deveined
    3 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tb Fresh lemon zest
    +=PLUS=+
    1 tb Juice; from 1 lemon
    1/2 ts Red-pepper flakes
    Salt & black pepper
    4 cl Garlic; minced
    2 tb Unsalted butter
    1 c Orzo or rosmarina pasta
    1/3 c Dry white wine
    2 c Boiling water, seafood stock
    - or chicken stock
    3 tb Fine chopped parsley

    In a medium bowl, stir together the shrimp, 1 tablespoon
    olive oil, the lemon zest, red-pepper flakes, 1/2
    teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and half the garlic.
    Set aside to marinate (this step can be done up to 1
    hour in advance).

    To a medium skillet, add the butter, the remaining olive
    oil and garlic, and heat over medium. When the butter
    starts to bubble, add the orzo and 1/2 teaspoon salt and
    cook, stirring often, until the orzo is toasted, about 2
    minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent the
    garlic from burning. Carefully add the wine (it will
    bubble) and stir until absorbed, about 1 minute. Stir in
    the water or stock, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook
    until the orzo is al dente, about 12 minutes.

    Add the shrimp in a snug, even layer on top of the orzo,
    cover, and cook until all the shrimp is pink and cooked
    through, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit,
    covered, 2 minutes.

    Sprinkle with parsley and lemon juice, season to taste
    with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

    Wife was a cheap date for her birthday yesterday she decided at the
    last minute she wanted nacho's and the bar across the street had them
    on 1/2 price (and they didn't have meat). LOL She had a double rum,
    I had a club soda we shared teh nacho's total bill $25, enough left

    As Dave Drum said, that is a bummer.

    no doubt... i can't imagine having to deal with that... but i have recently been living on a lot more of a vegetarian type diet... mostly pintos and similar beans (navy, northern, black, red, etc)...

    a pot (starts as 1 pound or 2 cups dried) lasts me for a week or more... sometimes i even have some meat and bones (pork neckbones, may be smoked) i can
    toss in it... depending on how i cook them, i can have a pot of formerly dried
    beans ready to eat in four hours... two to three days if i take the slow route
    and crockpot them... the four hour run is generally with the soak time being 30 to 45 minutes in a pressure cooker... then i drain (or not) the water and cook them for a few more hours without the pressure...

    if i throw in some meat and bones, then i move the beans (and maybe the water) to another pot temporarily so i can pressure cook the meat and bones... they go
    in straight from the freezer and pressure cook for 35 to 45 minutes... then i put the beans back in and add seasonings so everything can cook over medium-low
    heat and come together... there may be another 30 minutes persure cooking after the beans, meat and bones have been mixed together...

    It is interesting that the message that Dave responded to never
    reached me nor Doc's Place.

    AFAICT, it never reached here, either... and since dave's quote header doesn't contain the date and time of the original message, i/we don't even have a target date to look back to... it could be a really old message that dave decided to respond to, though...

    I also note that your uplink (Nick) sent this message to Belgium
    (Ward), and from there to Finland, Australia, Australia and finally to
    the USA (Janis) before coming to me.

    the one you replied to came here via the following path... i have a direct connection with nick boel's system so it branched off to my system before going
    completely all around the world like it did in getting to you... it did, however, cross the atlantic twice...

    It is interesting that the message that Dave responded to never
    reached me nor Doc's Place.

    AFAICT, it never reached here, either... and since dave's quote header doesn't contain the date and time of the original message, i/we don't
    even have a target date to look back to... it could be a really old message that dave decided to respond to, though...

    No, it was a current one... the 9th, IIRC... I did see it on both sides
    of Tiny's, but nowhere else, and Dave replied from the Ezy-side....

    This is something new, I'm unable to eat meat of any kind now. The closest I can come is fish and seafood but even that makes me feel
    queesy for hours.

    That's a bummer...

    So I have found TVP and it's giving me that ground meat kind of
    texture (Thankfully I am able to use stock, and can still eat soup).

    Better than nothing, I guess.... :) Good that you can still use the
    stock.... I have a girlfriend that developed an aversion to the taste of chicken, and she can't even stand to have something with the stock in it... She's a vegetarian by mostly necessity...

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Irish Rover's Unicorn Pub Shepherd's Pie
    Categories: Beef, Casseroles, Pastry, Pies
    Yield: 6 Servings

    2 lb Ground beef
    1 c Onion; diced
    1 c Carrots; diced
    1 c Celery; diced
    1 1/2 c Corn niblets
    2 cl Garlic; minced
    Salt & pepper
    1/2 ts Nutmeg
    8 oz Beef broth
    2 tb Butter; mixed with
    2 tb Flour
    2 lb Potatoes; cooked, mashed
    Butter

    Cook ground beef in frying pan until brown. Add onion,
    carrots, celery, garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Lower
    heat and cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are
    wilted. Add beef broth, bring to a boil. Stir in enough of
    the butter/flour roux to make a thick gravy to bind the
    filling. Pour into large shallow baking pan and cool. The
    filling should be about 1-1/2 inches deep.

    Cover the meat mixture in the pan with the corn and then
    top with the hot mashed potatoes. Smooth potatoes evenly,
    brush surface with butter. Bake at 325øF/160øC for 35-40
    minutes.

    The Irish Rovers, of "Puff the Magic Dragon" and "The
    Unicorn" fame, own a very successful "Old Country Pub" in
    Calgary, Alberta. Their Shepherd's Pie is justly famous.
    Vincent Lee, kitchen manager at the Unicorn says the
    recipe came directly from Ireland via the Irish Rovers
    more than 10 years ago.

    I'm hoping it goes away on it's own. I'm still cooking meat for my
    wife and I sneak a taste every so often but every time makes me feel
    bad.

    Depending on what precipitated the sensitivity to meat, it might could
    go on its own, I'd think....

    EVen fish causes minor queasy. I'm in hell man.

    That's pretty bad...

    At least you are in Canada where treatment and cure won't pauperize
    you.

    If they knew what to test for. I see the doctor again tomorrow and
    he will hopefully have some ideas. (That's actually where we left
    off, he said "Let me think on this for a bit".

    Could it possibly be related to stress...?

    Hello Dave,

    It also has appeared at Janis' Prism, Outpost and Waldo's/SESTAR.

    Nick is not connected directly to the NAB which most of the US is for a Fido feed. I'm not directly connected because I have four different Fidonet feeds: Nick is my main Fido feed. Mark Lewis is my RC so I am connected to him for routed netmail though I normally send netmail through Nick directly. I'm connected to Janis for a few echos that involve the IFDC and for my CHWARE filebone connection. I'm also connected directly to Andrew Leary for other Fidonet-related stuff.

    Normally, for this echo, my mail goes directly to Nick's system which then connects directly to Janis to distrubute the mail through the NAB. The NAB consists of Janis, Mark, and Dallas Hinton IIRC.

    Just a quick clarification. :)
