Hi Carol,

->  CS> I took a pork roast (shoulder) and tucked it in the crockpot with a
->  CS> 16oz can if hot-n-spicy V8 and a chopped onion.  I let that fellow

-> That's your southern roots coming out.  Save a bit of pork for me. (G)

 CS> Yes and that one bell pepper plant?  My but it's a prolific little
 CS> fellow! The bananna pepper has done nothing (did i need 2 of them for
 CS> cross
 CS> pollenation?

Probably, especailly if it's doing nothing at all in the pepper
production line. At least the bell is putting out. Do you still have a
dehydrator?  You can dry the bells but they will lose some color.

-> save it; I told her it was to the point where I wanted it used up. Don't
-> know how well it would have worked in "regular" cooking with the starch
-> from the orzo anyway.

 CS> There's some things but depends on how starchy it was.  I might have
 CS> added some soy sauce to it and used it for vegetable boiling water if
 CS> i were low on stock.

I generally don't boil vegetables--most of the time they're steamed in
the microwave.  Then, too, the soy sauce is something I don't use too
much of in cooking to keep my sodium level at a reasonable level. But, I
probably could have used the water in other things like soup stock had I
thought about it.

-> afternoon.  I'll be picking up some regular brown rice to bring up for
-> the picnic; I presume you're still planning to bring your rice cooker.
-> Is it a (finished yied) 20 cup cooker like mine, more or less capacity?

 CS> Oh smaller than that.  I think (will have to look) a 12 cup max?  I
 CS> don't think I've ever done more than a 10 cup yield in it.  Usually I
 CS> do a 5-6 cup yield.

OK, so if I bring up 4 cups of brown rice (got long grain), that should
be sufficient.  With the 2 of us, I usually do about a 4 cup yield;
we've found that's the minimum we can do to expect it to cook properly.

-> Some things are worth the money. Good food for good health is one of
-> them.  The rest of the supper ingredients were relatively inexpensive
-> but of top quality as well.

 CS> Oh sure and i wouldnt flinch at all with that price for alot of the
 CS> seafoods I get.  Just, not for lamb.

Your choice; I wouldn't pay that much for fish I wanted to eat raw.
Actually, I don't eat raw fish anyway as I don't want to give my
immune system any more challenges.


-> OTOH, my mom isn't as independent.  She's quite crippled up with
-> rheumitiod arthritis.

 CS> Mom's had hip replacement but is going strong.

My mom had one shoulder replaced 18 years ago but it didn't work out as
well as she'd hoped. It's actually worse than the other one so she's
really slowed down.

-> Especially reading them back years later. Charlotte was 7; this was
-> before you went to Japan, etc (on the following posting).

->  CS> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

->  CS>       Title: Xx does Crawdaddy

 CS> Yup!  I didnt date them then but Charlotte's age and the fact that it
 CS> was a food not seen in Japan shows it was here.  That may have been
 CS> one of the last 'new ones' just before we left.

Seems like ages ago? (G)
