  Popeye's is one of the places we often can score decent coupons for.
  Frequent one is "buy a three-piece dinner and drink, get a free two
  piece dinner".   That suits us just fine.   Another that would have
  been great if you guys had eaten all the pork at the picnic is buy one
  14 piece bucket, get a second one free.   I'm afraid that is just a
  bit too much left over for Gail & I to do on our own:-}}

  Another cheap eat for us is the BJ's roasted chicken.   We usually go
  for three meals.  Not bad for $4.99.


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Masa Soup <t>   (A Thick Vegetable, Lentil And Pea Soup)
 Categories: Low fat, Soup, Posted
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 md Onion
      3    Cloves garlic
      1 c  Split peas
    1/2 c  Lentils (any color)
  2 1/2 c  Edible hibuscus leaves,
           Spinach, kale, collard or
           Mustard
           Greens, etc., cut or torn in
      2    Inch pieces
    1/2 c  Zucchini, chopped
      1 c  Carrots, diced
    1/2 c  Celery, diced
    1/2 c  Eggplant, diced (optional)
      3 lg Fresh basil leaves (or 1/2
        ts Dried)
        pn (1/4 teaspoon) thyme
    1/2 ts Salt (or 2 tablespoons
           Bragg's Liquid Amino)
    1/2 ts Fresh ground black pepper
           Optional-- chili peppers or
           Hot sauce to taste
 
  Last week a friend gave me a big bunch of edible hibiscus leaves
  that he grows. (He also gave me three plants, and I intend to try to
  nurture them).  The leaves are dark green and tender, thin and as
  much as 2 feet in diameter. They taste a bit like kale or spinach.
  So I'll share this recipe I invented to incorporate the leaves in a
  thick, rich soup. I call this Masa Soup, to honor the donor, Masa
  Yafuso and his wife Harriet, who donate their time giving low fat
  vegetarian cooking classes (and give samples of all their recipes at
  each meeting.)
  
  This is the good part. Saute onions and garlic in water till starting
  to turn yellow, add all other ingredients in a large pot with 2 1/2
  cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer an hour (or
  until peas are tender) and then puree in a blender. That's it!
  
  Serve as a main meal with whole wheat pita bread. For a variation,
  sprinkle fresh ripe diced tomato on top of soup (or this can be
  blended in earlier). For those who remember the days when pea soup
  used to have h*m or b*c*n in it, soy baco-bits, sprinkled in just
  before serving, brings back that aura.
