Hi Dave,
Good to "see your face" again.
DD> this soup and Ethan went on to be a guest on Jeopardy!.
RH> One of these days I may try out again. Did, and made the contestant
RH> pool when we were in HI but they only took folks that wore uniforms
RH> from that pool. Since I wasn't in the military, a doctor, fireman or
DD> You didn't haver your "mommy" suit non? Vc)=
IIRC, I was in good jeans and a button down shirt. My "mommy suit" was
usually more worn out jeans and a tee shirt or sweat shirt, depending on
the time of year. Also, we didn't have either of the girls with us in
HI; Rachel was married with a 2 year old and Deborah was active duty
with the AZ National Guard, 2 years after returning from deployment.
DD> Good luck. This is what I needed parts from the grocery store to make.
RH> Looks good; I did the traditional corned beef and cabbage, with boiled
RH> potatoes, carrots and parsnips yesterday. We also have a couple of
RH> corned beef cuts currently on the smoker turning into pastrami.
DD> You had me up to the boiled cabbage. Not one of my favourites.
DD> Although I enjoy cole slaw, stuffed cabbabe leaves, even S & S cabbage
DD> soup. Just not big on boiled cabbage. <SHRUG> See previous comment.
DD> I don't think I'd make a successful Mick. Boiled cabbage is NOT one of
DD> my faves.
RH> Not really one of mine but I make a once a year exemption. I also make
RH> sure I'm NOT wearing any green (or orange). We picked up a marked down
RH> corned beef yesterday to cook, then slice up for sandwichs.
DD> Corned beef, now. With a good slather of zippy horseradish and some
DD> boiled potatoes coateed w/melted butter. Yuuuuuuummmmm.
Actually, I prefer a spicy brown mustard with corned beef.
DD> I did make this in honour of St. Pat. Didn't have a shamrock waffle
DD> iron so I just used mt 4" round mini-waffle iron.
RH> Whatever works for you. (G)
DD> I left out the caraway seeds - but they were needed. Next go I'll whiz
DD> the seeds to powderin my R2D2 grinder
RH> Same kind of grinder I have--a repurposed Oster coffee grinder? Does a
RH> great job and Steve has a different grinder for his coffee beans. He
RH> didn't question me when I told him I wanted to repurpose his coffe
RH> grinder, gave him a reason to upgrade.
RH> It is something different; don't know if I could eat a whole one in one
RH> sitting.
DD> Have faith. The recipe makes 4 servings - and a sin gle serve is 4"
DD> across. The equivalent of a half-sized BLT sandwich (or thereabouts)
Still, my appetite has greatly diminished over the years. We went to
Cook Out for lunch yesterday; I had half of a chicken, lettuce and
tomato with mayo (skipped the honey mustard) sandwich, a small (maybe
1/3 cup) of cole slaw and 4 onion rings. The shake was more like
softened ice cream in a foam cup; I could only get a few sips of it.
Finished maybe about 1/4 of it in an hour so stuck the cup in the
fridge. By supper time it was still quite frozen so I grabbed a spoon to
finish it, with the other sandwich half, a small piece (about 4"x 1")
and a slice of Swiss cheese.
DD> Here's a sorta-kinda McWaffle. If In were making this for Uncle
Dirty DD> Dave I'd 86 the scallion in favour of the optional tomato.
DD> 1 sl Canadian bacon
DD> 1 lg Egg
DD> 1 Green onion, chopped
DD> 2 Frozen multigrain waffles
DD> 1 tb Shredded Cheddar cheese
DD> Sliced tomato; opt
I'd go for a home made whole grain waffle and sliced "real" bacon. A
friend of Steve's was, last night, telling us of a fruit waffle he had
in Europe--waffle batter cooke a bit, then fruit put on it and then more
batter. The waffle enclosed the fruit when cooked. Sounds good, maybe
with strawberries, blueberries or peaches.

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
