Not sure but I've slipped to 1,000 behind again.  Planning to speed read some
up today.

I was trying to get more books out the the garage and kept grabbing
interesting ones to set in the bedroom for next read.  Now, I have stacks of
books moved from the garage to the bedroom.  A few f them seem to have grown
feets in the night and wandered into Charlotte's room ;-)

Naw, we probvably shold use the camera more, but as usual we have to find it
and things like that happen too fast.

Found usually at cookoffs where the guys are the competitors.  It's nothing
to worry about missing.  Fairly inedible hot glop.  Do however try the
'sothern chili' if you see it.  Thats very different.  Not usually all that
hot, but very flavorful and lots of healthy veggies (not just tomatoes). 
Purists won't call it chili but it is.  These are old time farmer's recipes
made to stretch meat out with the garden surplus, mostly using home canned
veggies.  My own recipe stems from it but didnt have the canned veggies,
which truth to tell, shine *better* in that recipe than fresh!

Take whatever base chili recipe you make, and add 1/2 cup veggies per every 2
cups base.  Cauliflour, yellow and green squash, green beans, etc.  Never the
same twice but always good.

Hehe wierd but good.  I grew up on that kind of chili and it was one of the
first dishes I mastered and later, one of the earliest MM'ed for others.

Those wasabi peas do remind me of ones at the bar in Darwin.  They had a
tumeric shaker by them and folks would add that to a small plate and roll
them around in them.  Only saw them come out once, but they were good!

It's different but just as adaptable.  I dont use it all that often, but when
it suits a dish, it's always added <g.>.

Yup!  Bet next trip I remember it.
