 CS>> I doubt anyone irish would recognize it and the overall flavor should

 NB>> With an Irish heritage of sorts... ;)  As long as it tastes good, I

 CS> Yup! Came out well. Had one for lunch today, nuked after I made it and

Very nice...  

 CS> Hehe no worries!  I am still with rescue dogs and cat and sadly one

That's a pretty good age, even for a beagle...

 CS> I hope you all do not hate me, but i'm willing to put in 1,500$ (plus
 CS> the 450$ already spent on tests) for a single mastectomy but not 3,000$

I wouldn't judge you on that... we might have put the money on the tests,
but not even gone on to the operation at all... much as we love our
feline and canine family members, they don't rank above the human, and
all the needs need to be balanced...
 
 NB>> I've pretty much always done something of the sort... but knowing
 NB>> someone else doing it boldly keeps the embarrassment factor down... ;)
 NB>> I don't think I'd ever really be an authentic anything cook... much more
 NB>> likely to have just put together various imputs and come up with a
 RH>> whatever...  ;)

 CS> Heheh we laugh that i can't do italian but it's really so many other
 CS> culinary influances here that morfs it.  I've noted my main 'morf'
 CS> tends to eit6her bit of tex-mex or arabic (or both) when I try
 CS> 'italian'. 
 CS> Ruth is probably laughing and shaking her head at me.
 
(Especially since it still looks like it's quoting her... [g]  I left
one for the effect this time..  [g])  Being a purist isn't all it's
cracked up to be... except maybe for the purists...  ;)
 
 CS>> I am currently staring (or being stared at by) a fairly large frozen
 CS>> calamari. 
 CS>> Humm.  If i chop some more bok choy, mix it with rice and stove top
 CS>> stuffing, black olives, eggplant and 2 eggs plus some zataars
 CS>> seasoning then oil it and bake it, might be interesting!  Chill once
 CS>> done then slice.    Humm!
 NB>> Sounds pretty tasty...  Cuisine chez Shenk..  :)

 CS> We shifted.  Charlotte and i had a fruit tooth tonight so we packed it
 CS> with orange bits, rice, hot-sweet bannana sauce, and lightly brushed
 CS> with oil then dusted with cinnimon, nutmeg and a bit of sugar. 
 CS> Perfectly carmelized! Major yummie factor.

I'd never have thought to make calamari sweet rather than savory... :) 
But it sounds good all the same.  :)
