Hi Dave,
RH> About what I was thinking--something that would go with the rest
RH> of the flavors. I'd probably use a breakfast type sausage.
DD> As would I - if ever Im make it. The sausage would, no doubt, come
DD> from Humphrey's, fresh made daily.
We don't have Humphrey's around but do understand there's a local
butcher. Need to check them out and see what they offer, understand
Tuesdays are their sal days.
DD> I've had Popeyes red beans & rice .... and it's one of their few
DD> "fail" items. Along with their "Cajun" rice - which is just dirty
DD> rrice when DD> it's home in its jammies. Bv)=
RH> I'd rather have the veggies of cole slaw than the carbs of beans and
RH> rice. Been doing good on my morning b/g checks the past few weeks,
RH> think things are finally getting back on track after all the travel we
RH> did this fall. We were doing a lot of sandwich type meals for lunch,
RH> late suppers while on the road--not good for the b/g.
DD> I do Popeyes cole's law. Bv)= And swap the nasty (to me) French
DD> frries for mash and "Cajun" gravy. My morning blod sugar checks run
DD> consistent at/near the 95 to 105 range. Unless my croakers have me on
DD> prednisonme
DD> which mucks up bothj my BP and sweetness numberrs.
I know, I've had "bursts" of prednisone when the asthma has flared or
morphed into bronchitis. Having had problems with long term prednisone
use 20+ years ago, I now ask for no more than 10 days worth, doing a
taper. Helps knock down the crud but doesn't give long term side
effects.
DD> From: Dirty Dave's adaptive mind - which will file the
DD> serial numbers off of any recipe and call it his own.
DD> Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen
RH> I'll adapt to a certain point and then call it my own. Did that with my
RH> lemon pound cake, haven't (other than using whole wheat pastry flour)
RH> with the Ocracoke fig cake I've made a couple of times. I'll be making
RH> more of that over the years, especially when the fig tree puts out as
RH> abundantly as it did this past summer.
DD> That particular recipe is a mash-up of several, based on an Emeril
DD> recipe and using speci9al "tweaks" frrom several other sources as well
DD> as my own ideas. So, it's /mine. Otherr people make theirs their way.
DD> Bv)=
DD> Sort of like chilli. There are as many versions of chilli as there are
DD> chilli cooks.
True, I make 2 different versions myself. Depends on who I'm cooking for
as to what I'll make but if I make the mild version, I'll bring along
different powdered peppers and/or hot sauces for people to add their own
kick. Once brought powdered habenero, just labeled "hab", one guy
thought it said "hot" and was liberal with his use of it in his bowl.
Yes, it was quite hot. (G)
DD> BTW - if you notice ny odd typographical errors ... I bought a new
DD> keyboard after getting a glass of lemonade spilled on my nmice DD>
Keytronics I prefer the mechanical boards to the "chicklet" (cheapy)
DD> style boards DD> which don't feel "right" when typinmg. But, I'll
not buy a "gaming" DD> unit again. Waaaaaaay too sensitive. Almost just
have to look at a DD> letter ansd it appears on the screen. Or brush
past it on the way to DD> another key. or have it tthrow ddoubles on
letters .... I'll DD> eventually get used to it. Meanwhile I'm, on the
lookouit ffor anothr DD> Keytronics - either USB or PS2 hookup.
Ok, I use a Dell net book for Fido (and other), also have a tablet. When
we moved to WF, we didn't have room for 2 desk top set ups so, since
Steve needed the desk top more than I did, I sacrificed my set up. It's
a lot easier for me, plus I can take it anywhere in the house or beyond.
At home I'm networked into the main system. Also, the keyboard on the
net book is smaller, easier for me to use.
