• 570 extended travel was crusty

    we ever mention on the echo--our daughter that lives in Utah--when she
    and her husband had their house built, it had to include a cold storage
    room (in the basement, under the entry way) so that if the house is ever
    sold to a member of the LDS church, it has the required room. Guess it's
    the new equivalent of a root cellar. (G)

    An interesting sect, one dedicated to eating
    lots of stale food all the time, which is all
    I'm going to say about the subject. Some of
    my best friends are LDSes, though none toes
    the line precisely - if people don't like me
    do beer and wine in their presence, I tend to
    distance myself from them. I feel the same way
    about those who look down their noses at my
    eating pork or beef, too.

    there's the explosive effect that citrus
    juices have on some digestive systems - that
    could be a cause for apprehension as well.
    Ka-boom! (G)

    More like a CBW gas attack.

    It seems that it would be better without the

    because it's pretty certain what they were thinking.
    Were they thinking?

    Yep. An antioxidant-packed healthy beverage.

    My, we've gone a long way in the carb-counting
    department.
    I used part stevia for baking in it. Split the remaining portion of
    apple crisp with Steve to save some carbs. I still watch them but not as
    hawk eyed as I did the first few years. My doctor is still very happy
    with the numbers.

    Not mine. On the other hand, Lilli just made two trays
    of peanut butter toffee (she was actually intending to
    make peanut brittle but didn't use a candy thermometer)
    that I decided was as delicious a candy as I've ever
    tasted that didn't have chocolate - like Mary Janes, if
    you remember those (I don't imagine you actually eating
    them), only not stale-tasting. I've had 8 pieces in the
    last 2 hours.

    Brinjal Dal - Eggplant Dal
    categories: main, side, vegan, Indian
    Serves: 4

    2 lb White brinjal
    1/2 c Pigeon pea lentil
    4 Green chillies
    1 pc Tamarind - lemon sized
    2 ts Jaggery powder
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Turmeric
    1 pc Asafoetida- chickpea sized
    1/2 c Coriander leaves
    h - Seasoning Ingredients
    1/2 ts Mustard seeds
    1/2 ts Black gram lentil
    a few Curry leaves
    2 ts Coconut oil

    Wash brinjal under running water, cube 1". Immerse
    them in to enough water to avoid discoloration.

    Soak tamarind in water for 10 min and extract the
    thick juice discarding residue.

    Heat a vessel adding tamarind juice and slit green
    chillies. Bring to a boil. Drain brinjal chunks and
    add to boiling tamarind juice. Add turmeric powder,
    jaggery and water as needed. Let simmer till the
    pieces are soft.

    Pressure cook pigeon pea lentils in enough water
    for three whistles. When the pressure subsides
    completely, mash the cooked lentils and transfer
    it to cooked brinjal. Add salt and bring eggplant
    dal to boil.

    Heat a seasoning pan adding all the seasoning
    ingredients in the order mentioned, when the mustard
    seeds splutter transfer the seasoning to eggplant
    dal. Add asafoetida and garnish with chopped
    coriander leaves. Serve as side dish with steamed rice.

    An interesting sect, one dedicated to eating
    lots of stale food all the time, which is all

    We found the dried ground beef (sampled at the picnic) out in UT when we visited Rachel & family. It's OK for camping or whatever but I wouldn't
    want to have to rely on it for a prolonged time. Speaking of, the meat
    is used up, still have the pepper and onion (unopened--but probably will
    be soon).

    I'm going to say about the subject. Some of
    my best friends are LDSes, though none toes
    the line precisely - if people don't like me
    do beer and wine in their presence, I tend to
    distance myself from them. I feel the same way
    about those who look down their noses at my
    eating pork or beef, too.


    As long as we don't offend by what we eat..........but then too, we try
    not to offend if possible. IOW, for example, we will eat milk and meat
    at the same meal at home but if we're in Israel or other heavily Jewish
    area, we won't.

    there's the explosive effect that citrus
    juices have on some digestive systems - that
    could be a cause for apprehension as well.
    Ka-boom! (G)

    More like a CBW gas attack.

    Not a good thing, either for the "victim" or those nearby.

    Don't think I ever had any nor do I intend to give them a try. You can
    have my share.

    As long as we don't offend by what we eat..........but then too, we
    try not to offend if possible. IOW, for example, we will eat milk and
    meat at the same meal at home but if we're in Israel or other heavily Jewish area, we won't.

    Over the years, we have known and eaten with a number of Jewish people.
    At work I used to regularly eat with a friend who was orthodox -- both
    of us bringing bag lunches. We had a number of discussions. I've never
    seen anyone who would have been offended by what we ate -- no matter how orthodox or reform they were.

    More recently, we have been sharing meals with a Jewish couple who are
    no longer orthodox -- but when it is our turn to cook we do try to
    follow our perception of their rules. Turns out that he is a person who graduated from high school with me. Although he lived in Columbia since
    1972 we did not connect with each other until I happened to make a post
    on a local info app called Next Door.

    He had gone to college in New Orleans and mentioned that they liked the
    food there, although she was not into much heat with her food. So we
    made our jambalaya but with beef sausage and turkey ham, plus dialing
    down the red pepper spice a bit. For desert we made our bread pudding.
    If they had been more orthodox, they could not have had that for at
    least six hours -- but happily ate it anyway.

    We also talked about beef cuts. We served them a pot roast made from
    chuck which was perfectly ok. In the discussion, they said that
    although a porterhouse steak could not be kosher, they would eat it if
    offered.

    Obviously they are now much closer to the conservative or reform end of
    the spectrum with respect to the Jewish dietary rules. As Michael said
    the other day, those who are strictly orthodox would not eat any food
    prepared by you or me, nor any bought at most grocery stores other than
    one that had certified kosher food.

    You could lower the carb count on this by using the lentil spread on
    carb friendly crackers, thiner slice of bread or something like that.

    Hi Dale,

    As long as we don't offend by what we eat..........but then too, we
    try not to offend if possible. IOW, for example, we will eat milk and
    meat at the same meal at home but if we're in Israel or other heavily Jewish area, we won't.

    Over the years, we have known and eaten with a number of Jewish
    people. At work I used to regularly eat with a friend who was orthodox
    -- both
    of us bringing bag lunches. We had a number of discussions. I've
    never seen anyone who would have been offended by what we ate -- no
    matter how orthodox or reform they were.

    There are other groups we don't want to offend as well.

    More recently, we have been sharing meals with a Jewish couple who are
    no longer orthodox -- but when it is our turn to cook we do try to
    follow our perception of their rules. Turns out that he is a person
    who graduated from high school with me. Although he lived in Columbia since 1972 we did not connect with each other until I happened to make
    a post on a local info app called Next Door.

    We do the local Next Door but not found any long lost classmates.


    He had gone to college in New Orleans and mentioned that they liked
    the food there, although she was not into much heat with her food. So
    we
    made our jambalaya but with beef sausage and turkey ham, plus dialing

    pudding. If they had been more orthodox, they could not have had that
    for at

    There are work arounds, as you have found out.

    We also talked about beef cuts. We served them a pot roast made from chuck which was perfectly ok. In the discussion, they said that
    although a porterhouse steak could not be kosher, they would eat it if offered.

    Some are very strict about what they will eat, others, not so.


    Obviously they are now much closer to the conservative or reform end
    of the spectrum with respect to the Jewish dietary rules. As Michael
    said the other day, those who are strictly orthodox would not eat any
    food
    prepared by you or me, nor any bought at most grocery stores other
    than one that had certified kosher food.

    Just as well, I don't have the kitchen to handle it. (G)

    Lower it even more by serving it as a dip for vegetables.
