    Hi Nancy,

    CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS MESSAGE <<

    get a ride from someone else in your group if Steve doesn't go...?

    The co-ordinator of the group. Last time when Steve and I went, we
    stopped at our favorite Indian restaurant on the way home. They folded
    about 4 years ago so we no longer have that option.

    Yes, and wanting to break away from the way of eating I was brought up
    on. To this day I'll usually have an alternative to mashed potatoes, whether it's eating out or cooking at home. I'll make mashed for
    certain meals, but not nearly every night like Mom did.

    If your mother had been Irish, like our friend Helen, you might have
    been brought up on two or three types of potato dishes with the meal.

    been brought up on two or three types of potato dishes with the meal.

    When we moved to Anchorage our introduction to one of the neighbors was when she invited us over for a 4 course meal. All pasta, but it was colorful. :-) It was some sort of pointed joke aimed at her male friend, don't know if I knew
    or even wanted to know what that was all about. Connie probably did though, so most likely I tried to be extra nice to her for a while.

    Hi Dale,

    If your mother had been Irish, like our friend Helen, you might have
    been brought up on two or three types of potato dishes with the meal.

    If it's a variety of potato dishes, I've no problem. OTOH, mashed
    potatoes, sometimes with gravy, sometimes not, day in and day out, I
    have a harder time accepting. The gravy didn't do too much to the
    potatoes but it was better than nothing.

    Spuds ... I'd have to do some research on the protein aspect

    They run close to 5% protein; not bad for a vegetable, but less than
    grains and pulses. (Rice 8%, wheat 9-12%, pulses 20-25% vs. meats at
    20-40%)

    They are high in lysine but deficit in two other essential amino
    acids called Methionine and Cysteine. One would have to eat 10
    potatoes a day if they ate nothing else to get enough M&C.

    Cornmeal runs 7% total protein. It is deficient in lysine and
    tryptophan but has fair amounts of M&C. So corn and potatoes combine
    well.

    Title: Hot Tom Potatoes
    Categories: Vegan, Potatoes, Chilies, Corn
    Yield: 2 Servings

    2 Fresh long slim red cayenne
    Peppers, stemmed and minced
    1 sm Red onion, coarsely chopped
    1 ts Liquid smoke
    1 tb Molasses
    1 ts Salt
    1 ts Ground black pepper
    1 tb Fresh chopped garlic
    1/2 c Tomato ketchup
    1 lg Baking potato, unpeeled and
    Cut into 1/4 inch slices
    Yellow cornmeal
    Oil for frying

    Combine the cayenne peppers, onion, liquid smoke, molasses/syrup,
    salt, black pepper, garlic and ketchup in a blender or food
    processor equipped with a chopping blade. Puree for 1 to 2 minutes
    until smooth.

    Put the potato slices in a mixing bowl and cover with the sauce,
    making sure that all the potato slices are coated. Marinate for at
    least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Preheat the oven to 350 F. Fill a small, shallow bowl halfway with
    cornmeal. Have some more cornmeal on hand to sprinkle.

    In a small frying pan, heat 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat. Stir
    the potato slices in the sauce, making sure that each potato slice
    is thickly coated, lay them one at a time on the cornmeal and
    sprinkle cornmeal on top. Pick them up with a spatula or fork and
    place in the hot oil. (you have to handle them with care or the
    tomato sauce will slide right off the potato slice). Fry the
    potatoes a few at a tome in a single layer so they don't stick
    together. Turn them with care, frying both sides until they are
    golden to deep brown, 3-5 minutes total. Remove from the oil and
    drain on paper towels.

    Lay the potato slices on a cookie sheet one layer deep. Bake until
    they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Serve
    piping hot.

    Vegetables loose vitamin C from:
    -1-oxygenation
    -2- high heat
    -3- being water soluble, leaching

    From that info it would seem that eating them raw
    might be a good idea

    Except for the fast that they are totally gross raw.

    but then there are those solanine alkaloids to worry about

    Not to mention indigestible resistant starches and the possibility
    of e-coli from the dirt they're grown in.

    Title: Scurvy Cure

    One might substitute grapefruit juice for the lime
    and call it a "Scurvy dog."

    Another grapefruit cocktail ...

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

    Title: Campari Paloma
    Categories: Alcohol, Beverages
    Yield: 1 servings

    FOR THE SALTED GRAPEFRUIT
    CORDIAL:
    1/2 c Fresh juice from
    2 lg Ruby Red grapefruit, plus
    Peel of
    1 Ruby Red Grapefruit with no
    White pith
    1 c Sugar
    1/4 c Fresh juice from about
    8 Limes
    1/4 c Water
    1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
    FOR ONE COCKTAIL:
    2 oz Blanco tequila
    1 oz Salted Grapefruit Cordial
    3/4 oz Fresh juice from 2 limes
    1/4 oz Campari
    Seltzer

    Macerating grapefruit peels in sugar makes for a complex and
    concentrated cordial.

    Yield: Makes 1 cocktail and about 1 pint of Salted Grapefruit
    Cordial (enough for 16 drinks)

    For the Salted Grapefruit Cordial: Bury grapefruit peel in sugar
    in a pint-sized container. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. The
    next day, add grapefruit juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, water, and
    salt to sugar and stir or shake until sugar is completely
    dissolved. Remove grapefruit peel and refrigerate cordial, which
    will last for several weeks.

    For the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, 1 ounce
    of cordial, 3/4 ounce of lime juice, and Campari. Fill shaker with
    ice, and shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into a
    highball glass filled with ice and top with soda to taste. Garnish
    with a grapefruit twist if desired.

    Notes: Since you need the grapefruit peel on day 1 and the juice
    on day 2, you can peel 1 grapefruit on the first day, then store
    the peeled grapefruit in the refrigerator overnight until you are
    ready to juice it the next day.

    I'll have to try to remember that, should I go back into making a lot of meatless meals... ;)

    Do you have the stats on what protein eggplant might have...? Usually
    when that is the main part of a meal, it's combined with cheese (and
    possibly eggs)... so it doesn't have to hold up that end so much... (G)
