 NB>  NB>>> Natural Foods ones are in paperback...

 RH> Good timing.  The book probably split there because you had made the

Probably.  That was my figuring, too... :)  Had more than the normal
share of stains, as well... ;)

 RH> Sometimes improvisation makes for a better meal than the original. (G)

And a new family favorite, to boot... :)
 
 NB>> I usually go looking when I've got some ingredient to use that isn't

 NB>> has a proper recipe, but I haven't done it for ages (or at all).
 NB>> Usually now, though, there's enough other stuff called for in the
 NB>> recipe (that I may not have) that I just adapt from it.... (G)

 RH> It's always interesting to take a lesser used (in your kitchen)
 RH> ingredient and see what can be done with it.

And of course, learning about the new (or lesser-used) ingredient can
lead to its becoming one of the standards of the kitchen.

 RH>> Cents is knot all weighs come inn hear.
 NB>> Apparently not too hard to come by generally, in this echo... but
 NB>> there are a few where that would be very much true.  :)

 RH> It's fun to read the post, even more fun to meet the people behind the
 RH> words.  That's why we enjoyed the last couple of picnics.

For sure.  :)  And that's why I really wanted to get to this year's
picnic, to meet people I'd known of through posts, some for many years,
as well as the new ones I met here just in this echo.  Meeting the
people in person also gives an added dimension to reading the posts. ;>
