Yuca is in rare company in being able to range from one of
my most favorite to one of my least favorite foods, based
just on the liquid it's boiled in. Though boiled in oil
things are almost always notably better than boiled in
water ones, there are few where the disparity is as great.

I've not had it but fried so can't argue one side or another.

Stick with that and you'll be good.

No, a leaf lettuce. Black Seeded Simpson I think the vendor called

it, > bought it at the farmer's market.
I've had similar lettuces, but not that particular
variety that anyone ever told me.

The vendor had several varieties that day so we got the one we figured
would work best for wilted lettuce. It did, and it was good.

Was the vendor informative about the
differences in taste and texture? I
sometimes wonder about how committed the
growers are to the culinary characteristics
of what they're producing.

We have a lot of bridges to cross when we
come to them.

And, all will work out, one way or another. BTW, I don't have your e-mail address in my system.

We don't correspond often, but I think we have
a little. I'll send a message soon.

OK, got and will get back to you.

I've sent you a note to an earthlink address about
hotels; hope you get it. Edited to add: yes.

Is there an identifiable reason for your healing
process to be slowing? Besides plain garden variety
old age.

Overall, it's doing well for the time post surgery. The allergic rash
did slow things up a bit, plus, as you said, old age--my skin isn't as elastic as it used to be.

Ah. I find I'm still fairly flexible on some axes
but stiff as a post on others. My healing ability,
however, is much compromised.

If it were myself, I'd experiment with cider vinegar
(no vitamins) and lemon juice (not much vitamins).

The tablets are not a problem for me.

It's not so much the problem as a wonder whether the
benefit is specific to the vitamin.

If they're dressed up in the guise of their
marginally less ugly cousins the cucumbers,
it's possible I'd find them tolerable, though
at best marginally so.

It would be fun to see how many "copy cat" pickles one could make, using zucchini instead of cucumbers. (G)

Fun in a "let's laugh at Michael sort of way."

Hi Michael,

Yuca is in rare company in being able to range from one of
my most favorite to one of my least favorite foods, based
just on the liquid it's boiled in. Though boiled in oil
things are almost always notably better than boiled in
water ones, there are few where the disparity is as great.

I've not had it but fried so can't argue one side or another.

Stick with that and you'll be good.

I will, but those times I've had it have been few and far between.

No, a leaf lettuce. Black Seeded Simpson I think the vendor

When we told her what we were going to use it for, she reccommended we
use the Black Seeded Simpson. She cooks for her family the same things
that she sells at the market so she is always able to suggest the best
of what she has for your particular dish.

So now you can start making tentative plans. At least that time of year, reservations shouldn't be too hard to come by.

Vinegar or lemon juice would both work, just a matter of which you would prefer.

No, it's one way to use up an overabundance of zucchini.
