====================
 RH> Steve introduced me to Breyer's when we first got married. It was our
 RH> main ice cream purchase over the years as it was all natural. A couple
 RH> of years ago, we found Hagen Daz small containers at Lowe's on sale,

That's pretty good stuff, but to me not fatty ("super premium")
enough. More sugar and flavorings, and decently made. The thing
I really dislike about it was that this guy Mattus formulated the
stuff and gave it that pretentious and stupid name, and it sold
like hotcakes, and then he repented and started this Mattus brand,
which went out of business rapidly (and you know what one major
criticism of it was? that the name sounded fake). I guess my issue
is with the marketplace more than the product.

 RH> Yes, I was aware, and usually put in some sort of reference to it
 RH> being an old post. I've still got a while before the 40th reunion.
 
I have a couple classmates I keep in touch with sort of, that's
mostly enough. If there are good parties and the price is right
I might consider going.

 ML> Pizzelles
 RH> My MIL's recipe uses anise seeds but not oil. I think (but don't
 RH> recall without getting up to check) there's no extract in it either.
 ML> Funny thing is that yesterday's second dessert was pizzelle
 ML> made with anise oil, the first being sweet potato pie.
 RH> I'll go with the 2nd, let Steve have my share of the first.

One of the magazines was touting sweet potato or pumpkin pie
as the healthy alternative. Of course, it put up as the straw
man the utterly deadly pecan pie.

Spiced pollock fillets
cat: French, fish, healthy, nasty
servings: 6

6 fillets of pollock
800 g carrots
3 vanilla beans
6 star anise
olive oil
s, p

Filets de lieu jaune aux epices

Oven at 240C (475F).

Peel the carrots and cut them into strips.
Blanch them in boiling water for 10 min.
Drain and set aside.

Halve the vanilla beans lengthwise.

Make 6 cartocci out of foil or treated paper.
Make a bed of carrots in the center of each.
Top with a fish fillet; add half a vanilla bean
and a star anise. Season, sprinkle olive oil
over, and close the packages. Roast 20 min.

M's note: this is taking the sweet spices thing
way too far.
