I'd have thought the mandatory seasonings would
include a turmeric-based curry powder and habbies
(well, Scotch bonnets, which are the same species).
Allspice might make it more jerk, but I seem to
recall it in recipes for the curry.
I think allspice only goes in when proper pimento wood isn't
available. Or something like that. My exposure has all been here in
N New England, and odds are some compromises are made due to
location.
Perhaps. From what I've seen, curry recipes
vary island to island and community to community.
What's real to your friends and neighbors might

are equal opportunity offenders.
Once they get your money, and they get you into their tin can....
Though yesterday I was comfortably ensconced in my
(good and with an empty next to me) economy seat,
and an agent came up and gave me a boarding pass
for 2B, saying "here's your new home in first class."
United must be needing more revenue from me.
Not the worst problem to have.
There is the fine balance to be guessed at regarding
how much money to give them vs. what they're willing
to iffer (I left that typo in on purpose, because
it's never clear that they will offer any perks, and
it's an iffy situation) in return.
What about midnight vegetables?
Or don't you feed/eat them after Midnight?
After midnight, they become moaning vegetables,
or at least ghastly.
Do they multiply and become evil too?
Do ghosts multiply? I'm no expert on the subject.
They make over-a-barrel money a lot of the
time. Speaking of which, I don't see the prices
going down even when the cost of oil is
plummeting.
If they don't have to, they won't. Gotta keep the investors happy.
But one of the big justifications of the capitalist
system is that it fosters growth, and the airline
industry as a whole isn't going to grow much or
quickly. Individual companies may grow, but that's
at the expense of someone else's market share and
revenues. It's a field that's pretty invested out.

Start off with two million."

Title: Jamaican Beef Patties
Categories: Beef, Appetizers
Yield: 24 servings
4 c All purpose flour 2 ts Each ground coriander,
1 ts Salt -cumin, and tumeric
1 1/4 c Shortening 1 ts Each ground allspice
and
6 To 8 Tbsp ice water -cinnamon
Filling: 1 Green bell pepper,
stemmed,
1 lg Onion, diced fine -seeded, and finely
chopped
4 Garlic cloves, minced 4 Tomatoes minced
3 Jalapeno chilies, seeded, 1 bn Green onions, minced
-stemmed, and minced Salt and pepper to
taste
3 tb Vegetable oil 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 lb Ground beef
Servings: 24 patties
Pastry:
Preheat the oven to 400 deg F. To make the dough: place the flour and
salt
in a large bowl; mix well. Cut the shortening into small pieces about
the
size of walnuts. Add to the flour and, using your fingers, rub the flour
and shortening together, making a coarse, mealy dough. Add the ice water
and gather the dough into a ball. The dough should be firm and not
sticky.
If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, but if the dough is too
sticky, add just enough flour to make it form a ball. Divide the dough
into
2 equal balls and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2
hours
or up to 2 days.
To make the filling: in a large skillet, cook the onion, garlic, and
chilies in the oil over moderate heat for about 10 minutes, stirring from
time to time. Add the beef, herbs, spices, bell pepper, and tomatoes,
and
cook over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture
is
thick and saucy. Add the green onions and cook for 1 minute. Season with
salt and pepper and cool to room temperature.
To assemble the patties: on a lightly floured surface, divide each ball
into 2 equal balls, so that you have 4 equal balls. Flatten into disc
shapes, then divide each disc into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a
ball. Roll each ball into a 3 1/2 inch diameter circle. Brush the edges
with beaten egg. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling on one side of each
circle, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Fold the dough over, making a
half-moon
shape. Seal the edges with the tines of a fork, and brush with the
remaining egg.
Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the
patties are golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
