Hi Michael,
My guess is that you probably already have tested it
without knowing.
Possibly, no way to know for sure at this point. I don't want to dekiberatly try to get near it now and will be careful to avoid inavertant exposure.
I'm still of the don't care school, because I've
waded in it with no effect. One thing, no boosters
of allergenic response before doing so (booze being
one of the majors; you needn't worry about that).
I don't wander the open and wooded areas like I did as a kid--surprised
that I didn't encounter it then. The places where we set up the camper
are all clear so no danger of encountering it at the campsite. Off the
beaten path tho, there may be some tho I'm not about to go looking for
it. (G)
In the case of the Rhus, there are more exceptions than adherents.
Sometimes life does give those anomolies.
Keeps us on our toes.
But we're not ballerinas.
We can occasionally learn from ballerinas.
As with any other grouping, there are things to be learned for both the
good and bad.
So I didn't get to that place after all. If I were
starting my life over in Belgium, I would likely be a
patron - or even think about working there.
20/20 hind sight. If I'd have known about it before I strted
applying to > colleges, I might have applied to a different one. Then
too, I might
have been accepted as an exchange student (was runner up to the one selected) in my junior year of high school. Either way, I would not
have > lived the life I have.
There isn't much sense speculating, though I admit
it's a fun pastime.
True, and having followed the path I did, I'm not concerned about what I
might have done (or missed doing) in an alternate life.
Both are quite valid points of view, illustrating both
sides of the coin.
True, and the rim provides a 3rd point of view.
A distinct minority one!
But still one to be considered.
Just get Trader Joe's cheapie if you can't go to
Costco.
The TJ in Raleigh is just a couple of blocks from the Costco
so it's > ML> a > moot point.
Embarrassment of riches, more like!
Gotten some goodies at both places over the years.
No doubt. Both have their purposes, their success
attesting to that.
Very much so. I first encountered TJ's in AZ, went with a friend to one
in Tucson. When we were in HI, any time we went to AZ to visit our
daughters, we'd make a trip to the TJ's in the Peoria area. I was half
tempted to bring back to HI a 10 lb block of Ghradelli dark chocolate
once, settled for some smaller pieces because I didn't know how close
(or over) I'd be on the weight limit. Turned out, I would have been able
to do it but......................oh well..................

It's nicely sour and savory and hot, when made well.
I'll take the hot up to a certain level, then back off.
The recipe as posted only would offer a certain level,
quite a bit below the real thing.
Quite a bit lower on the heat level than most peppers.
Roast whole salmon
categories: fish, main, ballet
serves: 8 to 10
4 lb whole salmon; gutted, rinsed
1 lemon
3 T olive oil
1 T Kosher salt
1 T cracked pepper
Oven at 500F.
Make three diagonal gashes on each side of the fish.
Squeeze the lemon all over the fish. Rub oil, salt, and
pepper all over. Roast 20 min. Let stand 10 min before
slicing. Skin will peel back. Oven will smell bad.
[some people might care to go easy on the salt]
That's really not a lot of salt or pepper for that much fish but I can
see why people would want to tweak it to taste. I've also heard about
coating the fish with mayo, then wrapping it in foil and baking. That
way is supposed to make it very tender/flaky/juicy and no need for any
other seasonings. YMMV
