Hi Dave,
DD> I'm not a fan of vinegar based slad dressing. Much prefer my salads
DD> and/or cole slaw with a creamy sauce as a dressing.
RH> I prefer 1,000 Islands but Steve's mom has always done a home made
RH> Italian-ish--just oil, vinegar and seasonings. I've done it myself
RH> quite a bit because it is Steve's favorite. Just pour everything on the
RH> salad (guess-timate amounts) and mix.
DD> Thousand is OK on a Big Mac. Or w/shaved Gorgonzola cheese. But I like
DD> a nice creamy ranch, buttermilk, blue cheese, or even Russian
DD> (California) dressing. Especially w/bacn bits.
I'll go for Russian but do not care for the strong bleu cheese type
dressing. I'll eat ranch if nothing else is available or alternatives
are worse, same with french. Bacon inproves almost everything but it
won't help bleu cheese, IMO.
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> Which isn't too surprising considering that not many senators are
DD> ladies and few of those of child-baring years.
RH> Time was, the government had no ladies in it. Glad that has changed but
RH> I'm not a fan of a number of women now serving.
DD> Nancy who?
Also AO-() and others of her squid.
DD> 8<----- EDIT ----->8
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.
RH> Steve and I went to a little place in Las Cruces,NM, once on our way
RH> back to AZ from a trip to El Paso. I ordered something green, thinking
RH> it would be mild; Steve ordered something red, thinking it to be on the
RH> warm side. Somebody mixed up the heat level--mine was hot but Steve's
RH> was mild. They were both good tho. (G)
DD> I got a pretty good culinary education when I moved to Californica.
DD> Found the El Mexico cafe where I was one of the few Gringos. And The
One of our favorite places in Savannah was a small Mexican place where
most of its patronage were non English speakers of the blue collar
working group. Haven't found any place like that in WF but there is
(don't know if the other has re-opened) at least one good Mexican place.
DD> House of Yee (Cantonese Chinese) where, apparently no one in the
DD> kitchen spoke American) I started at the top of the menu and worked my
DD> way down. Noting 'repeaters" as I went. The J.B.'s Little Bali where I
We've been doing Chinese more as a Friday night take out since we've
been here. A little (maybe 6 tables) place opened up about the same time
as we moved to WF; we've patronised them, trying others but coming back
to this place. Usually do Korean as a sit down, tried a seafood
"casserole" last time at one place but we agreed that it wasn't going to
be a repeat.
DD> was introduced to the 50+ course Rijsttafel - more a Dutch thing. Each
DD> "course" was 2 tb or less of a different flavour/dish. And rice. Lots
DD> and lots of rice.
Interesting, did you count the # of courses you had?
