Hi Dave,
Bittermelon
DD> That would explain that. I'll have to look for it next time I'm down
DD> to Little World Market or Asian Groceries to restock the miso paste.
RH> Buy a small one for starters. (G) I can't give you specific recipies
RH> using it as I've not had any in close to 20 years, and then it was in
RH> dishes others made.
DD> My search engine shows me an object that looks more like a cucumber
DD> than what I think of as a melon. And parsing the recipes I have as
DD> well as
DD> those on-line I don'tsee anything that piques my interest. <SHRUG>
OK by me it you take a pass on it. I've not bought any, knowing that
Steve doesn't like it. And yes, it does look like a cucumber. (G)
DD> 8<----- ||||| ----->8
DD> Had Callie stayed with her dam for a few weeks past weaning Mom Cat
DD> would have schooled her in foraging for her food.
RH> But she might not have been as easy to catch and civilize.
DD> Oh, I don't know. I've a fair amount of history with barn//farm cats.
DD> And the few times I've adopted from a shelter I sit on a chair amid
DD> all of
DD> the candidates and let one of them choose me - usually by climbing up
DD> my leg and curling up in my lap.
RH> I'd have a lap full--Steve calls me a pet magnet. (G)
DD> We're currently tending/boarding three pooches. And every one of them
DD> will come to if they need/want to hit the great outdoors. Even if
DD> their grandpaw is standing/working right by the door.
Smart pups!
DD> I *do*have some bitter melon recipes
DD> Title: Paksiw na Isda (Boiled Pickled Fish & Vegetables)
DD> Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Stews, Chilies
DD> Yield: 4 Servings
Looks like one I'd take a pass on aslo.
