Subj: 734 silly names
Neekha [...] a jaded 20 year old [...] "stupid
#$$#%**&)(#$#@$^ marketroids"
I'd have thought she would have been no older than a jaded 10
year old when she discovered that. Certainly in a lot of ways
she seemed wise beyond her years.
She was only about six or so and playing on barbie.com or someplace
similar when she ended up on a purchase page when a pop-up
suggested, "Ask your mommy or daddy to provide their credit card
number". She shouted at me to turn off the computer quickly because,
"The internet is trying to take your money!!!"
Also at age four, arguing with a toy store cashier, "Why should kids
have to pay sales tax? We don't get to vote!"
Kugluktuk [...] moose [...] tasted moosey but somehow a wee bit
different than normal.
Evergreen needles? Or will they start competing with the
reindeer for lichen and stuff like that?
They were shot well above the treeline so no evergreen trees but
lots of dwarf willows (world's shortest tree; look up Salix herbacea
on Google images) and lichens, maybe (I'm speculating here) even
seaweed on the beach.
In the old days real English aristocrats survived on [...]
huge tankards of French claret while common folk got by with
JW [...] small beer.
That's sort of what I meant. Bear in mind that the claret
wasn't as alcoholic as it is now.
But stronger (and far tastier) than hopless, yeasty, murky, weak
beer that tasted like porridge gone bad!
I did a standing rib roast for Christmas with a somewhat
similar rub. [...] 3 Tb pepper 2 ts paprika 1 ts dry mustard 1
ts thyme 1 ts onion powder 1 ts garlic salt
In recent months I have blended my own curry powder, garam masala,
mitmita and ras-el-hanout so yesterday I tried something different
but sort of similar ... Lebanese seven spice blend, somewhat adapted
to suit my own tastes. I was happy with the result.

Some people eat only the tails, so there were extra claws for
Joe the birthday boy and other hungries, plus I had 3 extra
bodies.
I am amazed by such people but happy to take on their rejects.
Subj: 737 Mexican Oregano
Mexican oregano
I have never come across it
It thrives in zone 9 and above, not zone negative three.
You exaggerate! Canada goes from zone 0 to 7 and I'm in 1B which is
allegedly somewhat better than 1A.
you could substitute things that are more easily at hand.
Indeed. It isn't imported and sold locally here in supermarkets. I
must see if the Spice Trader guy carries it in his little specialty
shop.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Lebanese Seven Spice Mix
Categories: Lebanese, Mix, Spice
Yield: 1 batch
1 ts Allspice
3 ts Black pepper
1 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Cloves
1 ts Nutmeg
2 ts Fenugreek
2 ts Ginger
A lot or recipes call for equal amounts of all seven spices but I
decreased the sweet pumpkin pie spices a lot.
Some mixes actually have 8 or 9 ingredients: common additions are
paprika, cumin, coriander and cardamom.

MMMMM
