Hi Dave,
RH> I've used Bragg's and other unfiltered cider vinegar. I keep some on
RH> hand for things like salad dressing and such like, when I want to kick
RH> it up a bit from the regular cider vinegar.
DD> I'm not a fan of vinegar bsased slad dressing. Much prefer my salads
DD> and/or cole slaw with a creamy sauce as a dressing.
I prefer 1,000 Islands but Steve's mom has always done a home made
Italian-ish--just oil, vinegar and seasonings. I've done it myself quite
a bit because it is Steve's favorite. Just pour everything on the salad
(guess-timate amounts) and mix.
RH> of Tammy Duckworth when we were in HI; she had some connection to the
RH> state and used the first name Lada. Don't remember details tho.
DD> I think she may have been born in Hawaii. She certainly is a champion
DD> for Vets causes. And she abhors Cadet Bone Spurs.
RH> She does have a lot going for her. Good to see that the vets have a
RH> voice from somebody who served on active duty on their side.
DD> And it only cost her both legs and partial use of the right arm. She
DD> doest not suffer fools gladly. And has no use for draft dodgers.
RH> And was the first senator to bring her baby on the floor with her so
RH> she could nurse.
DD> Which isn't too surprising considering that not many senators are
DD> ladies and few of those of child-baring years.
Time was, the government had no ladies in it. Glad that has changed but
I'm not a fan of a number of women now serving.
DD> My store is having a Christmas Party on 16 December. I'll be taking
DD> this as my "covered dish":
RH> Looks like it should fill a few bellies. (G)
DD> There will, no doubt be lots of other stuff as well.
RH> Not surprising. It's always interesting to see the assortment at a pot
RH> luck. Our Legion post and Auxiliary always do a pot luck in late
RH> January or early February--too much going on in December so it's nice
RH> to have a joint dinner when things have calmed down a bit. There's a
RH> group of vets over at the post today watching the Army-Navy game but we
RH> took a pass on that gathering.
DD> For breakfast on the 25th I'm sponsoring any of my family/extended
DD> family to the Interfaith Breakfast held annually at Temple B'rith
DD> Sholom. Then off to brother's with the roast. Bv)=
DD> I'll miss the green chile that my recently deceased friend Les used to
DD> provie to put over the scrambled eggs.
RH> Did he leave the recipe with his widow?
DD> Dunno. But. I have it in my database. It's a pretty standard Verde
DD> that used ground poultry instead of the ore usual pork - which ain't
DD> no way "Kosher" and the event is at a Jewsh facility.
RH> So make up a batch, bring it and label it "in memory of Les".
DD> Won't have to. Les' kid brother Larry will be in town taking care of
DD> some things for the estate. And he'll be making the Verde. And he is
DD> the ICS World Champion this year in Verde.
OK, so it is covered. Good.
DD> I had something very much like this in my first experience with chile
DD> verde. I was in Inglewood, Californa at a Mexican sit-down restaurant.
DD> My mind told me that rojo meant red and indicated "hot". While verde
DD> was green and should be mild. Hoooo Boy! was I wrong!!!! Lit me up.
Steve and I went to a little place in Las Cruces,NM, once on our way
back to AZ from a trip to El Paso. I ordered something green, thinking
it would be mild; Steve ordered something red, thinking it to be on the
warm side. Somebody mixed up the heat level--mine was hot but Steve's
was mild. They were both good tho. (G)
