    608 linguica was lingua

    Sad story but tends to make my point
    about people not wanting to subject their
    loved ones to that kind of hardship.
    This was a single lady who'd spent most of her adult life as a
    missionary to China. Even gave up a lot of her food allotment in her
    later years so others would have the food.

    Not to the point of self-starvation, I hope.

    sojourn, but few would have had a family to bring
    along, and if they did, wouldn't have been
    foolish enough to subject it to the difficulties.
    Some people like that kind of challenge.
    And suicidal!
    Maybe so, but don't tell them.

    I am not against suicide the way many people
    are, but putting one's family in danger is to
    me beyond the pale, and I'd have tried to
    reason with anyone making that choice.

    He looked pretty Semitic (being of mixed Jewish
    heritage).
    I imagine there were a few (mentally) raised eyebrows then among his fellow passengers.
    I'm not sure if he was oblivious, defiant, or
    just practically going about his business without
    regard to potential difficulties. He was possibly
    an advisor (the proper spelling of that word,
    "adviser" being a word that stinks to my eye, to
    misquote Eduard Hanslick's review of a Tchaikovsky
    piece) to the government (which would have possibly
    made him immune to normal suspicions); his sister
    intimated as much to me, but the time frame is
    unclear regarding that.
    But he wasn't taken off the flight, as might happen today.

    It probably wouldn't. The news articles are generally
    pretty overblown.

    Right now I've no idea where it is, except in one of many boxes.
    Therein lies the benefit of the 21st century
    custom of digitizing everything, but there are
    risks to that as well.
    True, this was taken, IIRC, about 2005. We could have scanned/saved it
    that way then but.................

    Oh, well. I'm reminded that there are other
    pictures of me out there in odd circumstances.

    There are lots of things that will make something
    not KfP, starting with the method of processing of
    the g/f flour and the Expandex and continuing with
    the certification (I've heard that some g/f flours
    are KfP but have seen no mention of Expandex being so).
    I've never heard of Expandex before--sounds like something to use in a waistband. (G)

    A lot of g/f flours won't be KfP.

    Smoked Bacon Pork Alfredo
    Make pork steaks with a side of pasta with an al fredo sauce--much
    simpler. (G)

    I'd agree with you there, but the half of the
    pork in the sauce would add another flavor
    element to it that might be beneficial. How
    much simpler? 5 minutes maybe.

    Title: Portuguese Soup
    Categories: Soups/stews, Portuguese, Linguica, Chorizo
    Yield: 8 servings

    6 c Chicken stock - OR canned 1 cn Tomatoes - diced
    (14-1/2 oz.
    -broth -can)
    1 lb CHORIZO - smoked, diced (or 1/2 Head cabbage - green,
    -Linguica) -medium, coarsely
    chopped
    1 lb Potatoes - boiling type, 1 Med. onion - chopped
    -peeled, diced 1 lg Carrot - diced
    1 cn Kidney beans - drained 1/2 Bell pepper - green,
    diced
    -(5-1/4 oz. can) 3 Clove garlic - minced

    I saw this in Bon Appetit yesterday and decided to keep it. I'll bet a
    dollar to a doughnut that the recipe originally called for Linguica, but
    was changed to kielbasa for the masses. If you can't find smoked
    Linguica
    or Kielbasa, Andouille would also be a good substitute. I hope to try
    this
    when it gets cooler (like October -- grin)! Hope it appeals to you, too.

    Number of Servings: 8

    Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil, stirring
    occasionally. Reduce heat; simmer until thick, stirring occasionally,
    about 2 hours. Season with pepper. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead;
    refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)

    Hi Michael,

    Sad story but tends to make my point
    about people not wanting to subject their
    loved ones to that kind of hardship.
    This was a single lady who'd spent most of her adult life as a missionary to China. Even gave up a lot of her food allotment in her later years so others would have the food.

    Not to the point of self-starvation, I hope.

    To the point where she wasn't strong enough to make the journey back to
    the States and died in Tokyo harbor on Christmas eve.

    sojourn, but few would have had a family to bring
    along, and if they did, wouldn't have been
    foolish enough to subject it to the difficulties.
    Some people like that kind of challenge.
    And suicidal!
    Maybe so, but don't tell them.

    I am not against suicide the way many people
    are, but putting one's family in danger is to
    me beyond the pale, and I'd have tried to
    reason with anyone making that choice.

    Some people don't look at the bigger picture when contemplating an
    "adventure" like this. Takes others talking sense into them for them to
    see the possible down sides.

    He looked pretty Semitic (being of mixed Jewish
    heritage).
    I imagine there were a few (mentally) raised eyebrows then
    among his > ML> > fellow passengers.
    I'm not sure if he was oblivious, defiant, or

    Seems so. With all the different sources for news available these days,
    if you can be the first to jump on a story, even if your reporting isn't accurate, that's the version that gets the widest dissemination.

    As with all of us, I'm sure. (G)

    I've never heard of Expandex before--sounds like something to use in

    A lot of g/f flours won't be KfP.

    I'd have to do some research on that.

    I'd agree with you there, but the half of the
    pork in the sauce would add another flavor

    much simpler? 5 minutes maybe.

    Maybe so, but it would satisfy those that don't like mixed up
    foods..."Mom, my peas are touching my potatoes and the gravy is getting
    all over the peas." kind of person. Enough of them out there, and not
    all of them are under the age of 10. (G)

    Title: SPICY SHRIMP WITH GREEN BEANS AND RED PEPPERS
    Categories: Seafood
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 lb Large shrimp; peeled OR
    3/4 lb Sea scallops
    -sliced in 1/4" rounds
    2 tb Dry white wine
    3/4 lb Green beans; trimmed
    1/4 c Peanut or canola oil
    2 Shallots; finely minced
    2 Garlic cloves;
    -finely minced
    1 Red bell pepper;
    -cored, seeded, cut
    -in 1/4" julienne strips
    Fresh cilantro sprigs

    MMMMM---------------------------GLAZE--------------------------------
    1/4 c Chicken broth
    1 tb Oyster sauce
    1 tb Fish sauce
    1 ts Sugar
    1 ts To 3 ts sambal ulek
    -(Indonesian chili sauce)
    1 ts Cornstarch

    Rinse the shrimp with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Put
    the shrimp in a medium bowl, sprinkle with the wine, cover and
    refrigerate until needed, up to 2 hours.

    Bring a medium pan of salted water to a boil, add the green beans and
    simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and
    thoroughly dry on paper towels. Cut the beans diagonally in 1
    1/2-inch lengths and set aside.

    In a small bowl, stir together the glaze ingredients and set aside.
    Drain the shrimp well. Heat a wok or medium skillet over high heat.
    Add half of the oil and when it is very hot, add the shrimp. Stir-fry
    until the shrimp are firm and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the
    heat and set the shrimp aside.

    Reheat the wok over medium-high heat and add the remaining oil.
    Stir-fry the shallots, garlic and bell pepper until the bell pepper
    begins to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the green beans and stir-fry
    just until hot, about 30 seconds longer. Reduce the heat, stir the
    glaze and pour it into the wok. Stir until thickened. Add the shrimp
    with any juices and stir to combine. Pour onto an attractive serving
    platter and garnish with sprigs of cilantro.

    Interesting combination of seafood and veggies. I don't know if green
    beans go especially well with shrimp but, maybe I ought to try and see
    if they do. (G)
