    In the last analysis, pretty much nothing is
    anything to lose sleep over. But if it can be
    an easy fix, why not.
    It's just one of those quirks I have learned to deal with, with this computer. Doesn't happen as often now as when I first got the system so
    it must be adapting to my touch.

    It's as if the computer were programming you
    rather than the other way round. Sort of like
    cats, except cats are cuddly.

    Hah, chicken Caesar seems to me to be a
    very invitation to disappointment!
    Depends; we've had some really good ones, some not so good and most
    of > them being nothing special. this was memorable for being of poor
    quality.
    To me it's a case of the total being less than
    the sum of its parts, and I don't much care for
    most of the parts.
    We like the parts, both individually and combined.

    Mmm. Lettuce, anchovies, cheese, what could
    be bad? Clue: all of it.

    Someone not paying attention to the machine could have done
    likewise.
    Depends I suppose on the kind of irregularity of
    the cutting, but in most cases jaggedy is going
    to mean hand-cut.
    Nothing worth losing sleep over tho.
    Ditto.
    Enough other going on in my life that's more important.

    Cornstarch is so refined it is probably neutral
    to all but the most severe sufferers.
    But it's still corn, so we had to try it out to see how it affected him.

    Yes, better to try things in controlled
    conditions, lest something untoward happen.

    I'm at Swisher's, and my bleeding went crazy
    during the night. Luckily, I'd chosen a dark
    brown towel. Unluckily, my pillowcase is light.
    Change in air pressure from flying? Hopefully it won't linger.

    Air pressure probably not. The dryness possibly.
    Mostly it's my general tendency to bleed, plus
    the Plavix regimen, plus any possible heightening
    of blood pressure for whatever reason.

    Some things needn't be tried at all.

    Title: Green Corn Tamales
    Categories: Mexican
    Servings: 24

    12 Ears of fresh white or
    Yellow corn
    1 lb Monterrey Jack cheese,
    Grated
    1 lb Pure lard
    1/2 lb Butter
    1/2 c (scant) sugar
    1/4 c Light cream, or more
    2 Green chiles, parched and
    Peeled
    1 lb Cheddar or Longhorn cheese
    Salt

    1. Chop stalk end of each ear of corn flush with the base of the ear.
    Shuck, being careful to keep corn husks intact for later use. Wash husks,
    and drain.

    2. Cut corn off cobs. Grind corn with the Jack cheese in a meat
    grinder, blender or food processor.

    3. Cream lard and butter to a smooth and fluffy consistency with an
    electric mixer at medium speed. Add the ground corn and cheese mixture,
    sugar, cream and salt to taste. Continue to mix with the electric mixer
    until mixture looks like whipped cream. Add more cream if mixture is dry.

    4. Cut the roasted green chiles into long strips. Spread about 2
    tablespoons of the corn mixture on each corn husk. Spread mixture out
    into
    a rectangle and allow at least 2 inches of husk to extend below the corn
    mixture and a few inches of margin on both sides of the husk. Place about
    2
    strips of green chile down the center of the corn mixture, then sprinkle
    with a few pinches of the grated Cheddar cheese.

    5. Hold the two sides of the tamale together to make the corn mixture
    fold up around the filling. Then tuck one edge of the husk over the top
    of
    the tamale and roll, tying the ends with strips of corn husks. If
    preferred, the bottom end of the husk can be folded up before rolling. If
    you plan to freeze the tamales, freeze them at this point.

    6. Place the tamales upright on a rack in a pressure cooker or large
    steaming kettle. Before the rack is completely filled with tamales, pour
    1
    to 2 cups water into the bottom of the pan, about 1/2 inch deep.

    7. Steam at 15 lbs pressure for 25 minutes, or in a conventional
    steamer for 45 minutes. Serve warm with Green Chile Sauce, plain, or
    with
    beef, pork or chicken added. These may be kept in the refrigerator for 3
    to 4 days.

    Makes 24 tamales.

    Freezing Hint: Package tamales in plastic bags, 12 per package
    or other suitable quantity. If packaging large
    quantities, keep track of the contents on a
    card. Maximum Recommended Freezer Storage: 1 year

    Hi Michael,

    In the last analysis, pretty much nothing is
    anything to lose sleep over. But if it can be
    an easy fix, why not.
    It's just one of those quirks I have learned to deal with, with this computer. Doesn't happen as often now as when I first got the system
    so > it must be adapting to my touch.

    It's as if the computer were programming you
    rather than the other way round. Sort of like
    cats, except cats are cuddly.

    Sort of, in the way that sewing machines adapt to their primary user as
    Steve found out a few years ago. Cats, on the other hand, will go to
    whomever they choose but you can't make a cat cuddle if it doesn't want
    to.

    Hah, chicken Caesar seems to me to be a
    very invitation to disappointment!

    Mmm. Lettuce, anchovies, cheese, what could

    You forgot the bread. (G) I don't really taste the anchovies in Caesar
    salad, makes me half wonder if most places leave them out these days.
    Other option is that my taste buds just don't pick up on their flavor.

    Cornstarch is so refined it is probably neutral

    But it's still corn, so we had to try it out to see how it affected

    Yes, better to try things in controlled

    Which we don't want.

    Air pressure probably not. The dryness possibly.
    Mostly it's my general tendency to bleed, plus
    the Plavix regimen, plus any possible heightening
    of blood pressure for whatever reason.

    OK, so hopefully you can get it under control by tweaking some part of
    the equation.

    Some things needn't be tried at all.

    I've seen it in Mexican cook books before. Haven't, for obvious reasons,
    tried making them.
