====================
Hi Michael,

 RH> Sigh, thought you were joining the ranks of the green eaters. This is
 RH> the time of year for collards, kale, chard, etc cooked with ham hocks
 RH> & served with a splash of pepper vinegar.

 ML> I have always eaten greens with ham hocks and a splash of pepper
 ML> stuff. And drunk the pot liquor, which is where so many of the
 ML> nutrients go (not to mention the sodium).

You're revealing your here-to-fore hiddend southern ancestry. (G) Good
eats, no doubt about it.


 ML> If we were all the same, there wouldn't be any horror or surprise
 ML> either.
 RH> True, so it's more fun having differences. Steve can have all my
 RH> coffee, coconut & peanut butter; I'll have his brussels sprouts, diet
 RH> Coke and Milky Way bars. (G)

 ML> I'll take coconut and (oddly) brussels sprouts.

One from each of our list of not likes. Roasted sprouts with a grind or
2 of sea salt and splash of balsamic vinegar are good eats in my book
but not Steve's.


 RH> Besides, they'll be kept in your room under lock & key?

 ML> My room hasn't got a lock. If he steals something (it's
 ML> possible - there are things that seem to have gone missing; on
 ML> the other hand I am there seldom and may have forgotten where
 ML> stuff is) it's on his conscience. Foodstuffs are in a common
 ML> pantry, which was fine except that when he uses something up
 ML> he doesn't replace: this isn't so much larceny as neglect.

Probably not much interested in "fancy" cooking?


 ML> Special Fajita seasoning
 ML> (or try using McCormick fajita seasoning - tastes great and is
 ML> close enough)
 RH> I usually go with Plan B myself.

 ML> And whyever not.

Works for me--saves a lot of fuss & bother. Easier to keep the one spice
jar on hand than some I would never use but for fajita seasoning.


 ML> Here's the strangest fajita recipe I've seen, Might be okay in
 ML> the mouth, though. I had a more interesting one, but it had
 ML> sherry as a major ingredient in the marinade, so I substituted
 ML> this, which is of unknown origin.

 ML> ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00

 ML>       Title: Chicken Fajitas
 ML>  Categories: Main dish, Meats, dubious
 ML>       Yield: 8 servings

 ML>     1/4 c  Lime juice                          2 ts Dijon mustard
 ML>       1    Jalapeno pepper, minced             4    Garlic cloves,
 ML> minced   1 1/4 lb Chicken breasts                   1/4 c  Olive oil
 ML>      16    Flour tortillas                    16    Pieces romaine
 ML> lettuce            -------pico de gallo--------        4    Jalapenos,
 ML> minced
 ML>       2    Garlic cloves, minced               1    Onion, coarsely
 ML> chopped     1/2 ts Salt                              1/4 c  Chopped
 ML> fresh cilantro

A bit odd, but not utterly so. The mustard is the odd ingredient; I'm
sure it could be left out with no signifigant differrence in taste.
