======================
Hi Dave,


 RH> We tried some in a hot sauce Steve's brother has. Yes, it was hot but
 RH> not as hot as it could have been. It was way down on the list of
 RH> ingredients. David and several other guys where he works seem to have a
 RH> love of trying all things hot--and (I inferred) trying to bring in
 RH> something hotter than the last thing brought in. Bunch of crazy guys!
 RH> Anyway, I had some on a chip, a few minutes later my mouth was still
 RH> tingling but the major heat feeling had dropped considerably.

 DD> That "I can eat something hotter than you" is just another macho game.
 DD> I gave up playing those sorts of games a very long time ago. Sometimes
 DD> we guys do grow up and recognise our limitations.   Bv)=

Steve's brother hasn't quite "grown up" in that regard. He's also a big
3 Stooges fan. (G) David took the jar of hot sauce into work and was
quite well received by all the "hot heads".



 RH> We've got a couple of them, one with regular S&P, the other has lite
 RH> salt (mixed with potassium) and pepper. Wouldn't mind trying to get my

 DD> Bv)=

 DD> I note that whilst searching for images of the S&P shakers that nearly
 DD> every link led me to either Amazon (and the wrong product) or eBay
 DD> (right product - but they are overly PROUD of what they are flogging).

 RH> So what else is new? (G)

 DD> There is always yard sales - or finding someone running a Tupperware
 DD> party. Do they still have those? With nearly all women who are
 DD> employable in the
 DD> workforce I suspect the the "party model" for flogging merchandise of
 DD> that type has shrunk to nearly nil.

 DD> I gave U$5 for a six-pack of those shakers from a lady I know who was
 DD> having a Tupperware party - about ten or so years ago. Had I but had a
 DD> crystal ball that was in focus I'd have bought lots more - as the best
 DD> price I saw today was U$5.99 *EACH*   Bv)=

 RH> I've not been to a Tupperware party probably since I was in AZ. I'll
 RH> have to see if I might, perchance, have some more s&p shakers somewhere
 RH> in the dark recesses of the house. Would be great if I did but won't
 RH> hold my breath on it.

My sister in law gave us a shaker she had on hand. We figure we'll
reconfigure our now 3 to fit our needs. Lite salt & pepper in one, some
sort of hot pepper in another and maybe garlic & onion powder in the
3rd.


 DD>       Title: Scotch Bonnet Chocolate Baby Cakes

 SH> This sounds really good. Chocolate and Chilies are a great combination.

 DD> I don't know how y'all are on cranberries - but, here is a recipe I
 DD> have posted here before for a nice relish that is both easy to make
 DD> and diabetic friendly.

 DD>       Title: Cranberry-Orange Relish
 DD>  Categories: Five, Fruit, Citrus, Salads
 DD>       Yield: 8 Servings

 RH> Steve loves cranberry sauce (whole berry), I'm not too thrilled with
 RH> it.

 DD> I prefer the jellied-type cranberry sauce if I am going to do that.
 DD> But this relish, if prepared right is pretty tasty. The cranberries
 DD> are not cooked. I noticed that I didn't have any leftovers.


I just buy the canned sauce for Steve; it's easier than storing a big
batch of home made for only one eater. Same as he takes care of his
coffee maker, grinder, etc. I'll wash them up but he grinds, brews,
drinks the coffee. A lot of times he'll even wash everything up as well.


 DD>       Title: Skillet Chicken Paella
 DD>  Categories: Diabetic, Poultry, Rice, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servings

I'll sub out brown rice for the rice called for but otherwise probably
make it as is.
