Hi Jim,


CB> "south of the border"

RH> had a mediocre lunch ... it was less than memorable.

JW> That's putting it mildly! I had to look that up. What a tacky, nasty
JW> place it is! I would avoid it like the plague.

It's a good place to stop if you need a rest room and can't make it for
about 4 more miles (southbound), 3 miles (northbound). Other than that,
nothing really to reccommend it. I did notice, on our last trip south
(to Fayetteville), that it seemed like the number of billboards for it
along I-95 seemed to be fewer.


JW>       Title: Asian Spaghetti Squash
JW>  Categories: Vegetables, Asianish
JW>       Yield: 8 Servings

JW>       2 lb Spaghetti squash
JW>       1    Clove garlic
JW>       1 tb Sesame oil
JW>       2 tb Rice wine vinegar
JW>       2 tb Soy sauce
JW>       1 ts Sugar
JW>     1/2 ts Crushed red pepper
JW>     1/2 c  Green onion;  sliced
JW>     1/2 c  Carrot; grated
JW>     1/2 c  Snow peas;cut in thin strips
JW>       1 tb Sesame seeds; toasted

That looks good but I think I'd decrease the red pepper just a bit. I
don't like it as much as Steve does; he can add more at the table.


JW>   These days, I seed my spaghetti squash, put the two halves back
JW>   together and then microwave it for 9 minutes followed by as many 3
JW>   minute bursts as needed. It steams nicely that way. - JW

I'll nuke mine whole, then deseed, scrape it and mix it with olive oil,
balsamic vinegar, Peccorino-Romano Cheese and pine nuts. Basically 2:1
oil and vinegar, cheese and pine nuts to taste. We tried spaghetti
squash as spaghetti & sauce years ago, didn't like it but really enjoy
this way of serving it.

Later--also add chopped kalamata olives to taste.
