====================
Hi Ruth,

-> He got some in (tea) bags at Whole Foods Market today.  Have to keep
-> looking for metal tins.

 RH> If you want it, I can throw a box in the mail.  No biggie.

Your choice; it would be drunk if it arrived here. Don't go out of your
way to do so tho.

->  RH> sauce.  It wasn't quite cooked enough for me, but it tasted good.

-> Kind of crisp-tender? That's how I cooked them yesterday.  No real

 RH> Pretty much, with a side of remaining tough skin.  Tasted good though.

I peel it before cooking.  Reheated it gently--just enough to finish
cooking it without toughening or making it soggy in the toaster oven.
Good, and it disappeared fast.

 RH> > difference in taste between the regular purple and the purple &
 RH> white
-> striped.

 RH> The asian striped ones are different, but only marginally.

None really that we could tell.



->  RH> The scent of slow-roasted piggy would cure a vegetarian.(G)

-> Some people are of that opinion.  I've not been a total vegetarian so
-> not had to try that experiment. I did have to eat lots of bbq in lots of
-> places in my quest to find another place as good as eastern NC bbq. (G)

 RH> We'll go vegetarian at the Second Coming, if then.

I'm eating NC vegetables now. (G)


->  RH> I could go for that.  I've had it in Indian food too; it was great.
->  RH> No clue what they did to it, but there was no slime.

-> Sounds good to me.  It's also good in a mix of tomatoes, corn & okra
-> (found canned in grocery stores), with a bit of sausage and served over
-> rice.

 RH> As long as it's not a snot pod at that point.

Not really.  A bit overcooked, as the canning process is wont to do
anyway but not bad.


->  RH> up that way, and my mother has cousins all over the place.
-> Steve and I grew up there so it's a "no brainer" for us.

 RH> I remember.  It's the out of towners who get the surprise.  Upstate is
 RH> total Middle America, or rural America in spots.

Very much so! More rural areas than urban, actually.

-> A discreet poke with the elbow into ribs while telling him to roll over
-> usually worked for me before Steve got his CPAP machine. (G)

 RH> Now the sound puts both of you out?

No, it's very quiet.  I use a white noise machine.


-> -> I was thinking of the gummy worms. They're pretty flexible too.

->  RH> They ought to be; they're made of pectin, gelatin, or something
->  RH> similar.  I love gummy peaches, but will cheerfully eat a worm or
->  RH> three.

-> Probably without the sound effects a 5 year old Deborah did once. "She
-> bit off my head, ow--that hurts" and so forth.  Steve had a hard time
-> driving, he was laughing so hard.

 RH> Now that you've given me the idea....(G)

Nothing like hearing it tho--out of the mouth of a 5 year old into our
ears.
