Hi Janis,

>> CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS MESSAGE <<

 JK> t Wegmans here, which is really nice as well.

We saw a marinade at the Fresh Town in Margaretville--forget who made it
but it had something in it that Steve didn't want to buy. I think it was
one of the sodium something or other preservatives.


 JK> The spiedies they make are a bit different than the marinated lamb
 JK> that Michael made at the picnic - but of course Michael's was of a
 JK> different type and still good :) The spiedies in Binghamton are
 JK> normally larger chunks of meat (about 2").  Michael's lamb the weekend
 JK> of the picnic here was a fantastic curry type dish.

We missed that one; had to leave to get back to GA. His take off on the
spiedies was good tho; we liked them a lot. We've got lots of fresh
rosemary growing outside our kitchen door so we may give it a try some
day. Sort of an Italian dressing with rosemary taste if I recall
rightly?

 JK> Here's what we ate tonight.. I was really wanting parmesan-"something"
 JK> for some reason :)

 JK> ==Orzo Risotto with Shrimp==
 JK> 12 large cooked shrimp, about 12oz. see *below 2 cups orzo, uncooked
 JK> A good shake of Red pepper flakes
 JK> 2 cups chicken broth or phoney chicken broth, see **below :) 2
 JK> tablespoons garlic minced
 JK> 2 tablespoons finely minced onions
 JK> Saffron, I used about a half teaspoon.. it's not the most expensive
 JK> imported          type :) If you are using good saffron, about 1/4
 JK> teaspoon of threads          should be right.
 JK> 1/4 cup white wine or 1 1/2 tablspoons chinese rice wine vinegar and 1
 JK> 1/2         tablespoons lemon juice (makes a great wine substitute I
 JK> think :)) 3 tablespoons butter
 JK> 2 tablespoons Italian  parsley
 JK> about 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
 JK> Salt, pepper


Looks yummy!

 JK> **The broth:  It seems I can never keep enough chicken broth or
 JK> bullion cubes around.. :)  This is what I use when I run out: 2 cups

I keep chicken stock on hand as a general rule. I also keep some soup
base on hand in beef, chicken and vegetarian flavors. It comes in a jar,
in the soups section. I think Jim Weller was the one who first mentioned
them on the echo; I found them in Whole Foods Market but since have seen
them in other stores.
