Hi Dave,
DD> OY! Vey ist mir! I just looked at the pricing at Robert's (4th
DD> generation family-owned). Over U$30/lb. Fortunately that recipe will
DD> work well with Krab (surimi) @ U$6.99/lb. Bv)=
RH> The real thing is expensive even here, closer to the coast. But it's
RH> worth it for some things, as a splurge.
DD> My throat has a mind of its own. Yesterday my Sunday breakfast bunch
DD> went to Hy-Vee for the Easter Brunch. U$19.99 (plus tax). Les and I
DD> balked at paying that for breakfast. Helen agreed. So we headed for
DD> the near-by Charlie Parker's Diner .... which proved to be closed for
DD> the holiday (along with several other favourites we knew to close on
DD> holidays. Helen suggested "The truck stop is *always* open. It was jam
DD> packed but service and food was good and quick.
We went to a local Mexican restaurant on the invitation of one of the
young men in our church. Another one joined up, had a good meal and good
conversation as well--no crowds either. Steve had the pollo crema
(chicken in a chipotle cream sauce; I had the 3 enchiladas (cheese, beef
and chicken) with a green mole sauce--brought the chicken one home and
just enjoyed it for lunch.
DD> You'll probably want to leave off/substitute the corn in this
recipe. DD> But, it does look good.
RH> It does look good, even without the corn. We tried a new to us
RH> Guatamalan restaurant last night. Split a mixed grill of chicken, beef
RH> and pork with sides of black bean, salad and rice with potatoes. Have
RH> to remember next time to have them hold the cilantro. We both finished
RH> the salad and beans, had about half the meat (brought the other half
RH> home) and I also brought some rice home. The meat came with a couple of
RH> young onions, grilled Roma tomatoes and a big (!) jalapeno
RH> pepper--Steve thought it was a young zuchinni at first from the size of
RH> it. When we go back, I'm going to try the elote drink.
