Hi Dale,

DS> The first time we had our restaurant's General Tso chicken, it was
DS> quite mild.  Hence we made up the sauce below to wake it up.  Since
DS> then, the restaurant has changed their recipe so that our sauce is no
DS> longer needed.

DS>       Title: Sauce for fireside's General Tso
DS>  Categories: Sauce, Chinese
DS>       Yield: 3 Ounce

RH> Maybe enough appreciators of hotter dishes have moved into the
RH> facility and asked that some meals be kicked up a bit that the kitchen
RH> is finally getting the word and doing so? After all, as American tastes
RH> have shifted hotter over the past couple of generations, more and more
RH> people will want hotter food as the new LCD. (G)

DS> You may be right about that, or maybe enough appreciators of hotter
DS> dishes that were already here raised their voices loud enough to get a
DS> change in *some* dishes.  In fact, tonight I had what they called a
DS> Buffalo salad.  It consisted of bite sized pieces of white meat,
DS> coated and deep fried, and then liberally doused with Crystals hot
DS> sauce.
DS> Served with a side of blue cheese dressing.  I asked for double blue
DS> cheese, but they forgot.  It was good and just the heat level I like.
DS> I left the lettuce on the plate:-}}

Sounds like things are improving. My MIL still isn't happy about the
food in her facility. She said that she could get a hot dog or (forget
the other) some alternative but has taken to keeping some Ramen type
noodles in her room as a back up. She probably has some peanut butter
also.

DS> We went to an Indian restaurant last week for Gail's birthday.  They
DS> had plane Naan, butter/onion Naan, and my favorite which was garlic
DS> Naan.
DS> Since we could not decide, we got a basket with some of each kind.
DS> Servings of Naan and food were generous enough that we had take home
DS> for another dinner.

I'd have enjoyed the naan also. We see it in Wegman's but not a whole
wheat version (yet) but only get it on the rare occaisions we go to an
Indian restaurant.
