I'll check the recipe and see.. It seemed safe just from the taste I had, but
better to check :)  He came close to eating a whole jar of your pickles though
(smile).

I have a shoulder roast in the freezer.. I almost put it in the crock pot today
but decided to do the steak salad I posted in my reply to Michael today.. it's
supposed to be a cooler day tomorrow.. today was horrible.. you wonder how many
90F degree days there can be left :)

I checked our Wed. market beforehand since it had rained that morning.. the
folks putting it on said it would be there rain or no rain :)  Luckily for us,
by 4pm the sun was blazing and had dried up any hint of the earlier rain..

Yes, I can understand that.  I filled a number of them with a brie like cheese
we picked up at the farmer's market, as a snack the other day.. that was great
:)

The chutney was great :)  You can put anything in the dosas you want.  At the
farmer's market, the woman making the dosas had the potato curry and another
type filling that I can't remember much of.. (g).

Take care,
Janis
