I really don't remember but I don't think it was HFCS. I'm not buying
things with that in it if I can avoid it.

 JK> Yes.. and more vinegar based than curry based.. here's the recipe from
 JK> Lukos: ===Chicken Spiedies===
 JK> http://www.food.com/recipe/lupos-chicken-spiedies-219681
 JK>      2 -3 chicken breasts
 JK>      1/3 cup olive oil
 JK>      1/4 cup lemon juice
 JK>      1/4 cup white vinegar
 JK>      2 garlic cloves (finely chopped or pressed)
 JK>      1 tablespoon dried parsley
 JK>      1 tablespoon dried basil
 JK>      1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
 JK>      1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
 JK>      1/2 teaspoon salt
 JK>      1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
 JK>      3 -4 sandwich buns
 JK> Prep Time: 15 mins
 JK> Total Time: 25 mins


Thanks; we've got both chicken breasts and some lamb chunks in the
freezer. Instead of the buns, flour tortillas might be good too. Another
possibility is to make my own rolls. Use the dough feature on the bread
machine and then shape/rise/bake them.

 JK>    6.  Enjoy!

That's the best part. (G)


 JK> Luko's recipe reminds me of the one I use for kabobs, not curry.
 JK> Major difference there I guess.


Quite a bit, actually. (G)

OK; I'd not heard of them before someone on the echo years ago (from the
Binghamton area but living in Germany) mentioned them. I left the area
before they broke out of the immediate Binghamton area, same as I left
western NY before buffalo wings broke out of the Anchor Bar.

 JK> > Looks yummy!

 JK> Yeah.. orzos  are so overlooked it seems sometimes :)  Outside of

 JK> tomato sauce that I'll post later.  It's one of our favorites.. I

 JK> one that had an original mideastern recipe for what is sold as
 JK> "rice-a-roni" (g).  we love that one as well.

I've got some summer salads that call for orzo; good eating when the
weather is hot. I'll have to dig them up and post them.

I think so, without getting up to check. Just a spoon full (I don't
measure) in hot water makes a good quick fill in.

I imagine it wasn't a pretty sight. Last winter we stayed below $200.
but it's been colder this winter so far.

 JK> really stepping up my web page authoring.. Maybe I can get some

Ask around in towm--see what businesses have web pages and which don't.
Then offer one at a decent cost.

Cute! My parents had just put a new rug in the living room (years ago)
when my younger brother "initiated" it. They didn't have a scripture
reference to temper the situation tho.
