Hi Ruth,
In trying to catch up, I see I missed a message here a while back (g)

Definitely same here. While we still have to check labels constantly because
so many do use it, it does seem that more and more products are not using HFCS.

I think Binghamton is stuck on Italian roll-types :) But I can see how flour
tortillas would be good for a change of pace.

Yes, handy feature, I do that as well sometimes. Ron is thinking about getting
me a Bosch mixer when our tax return comes in, but I'm still not sure I want it
(g). My birthday was Feb. 1st so I'm taking my time about it.. I've read some
more about the Viking, and the problem with that one is that it's gear driven
.. something that bothers Ron, more than me but he's probably right (g).
Anyway, If I do that, it will be an interesting toy to play with once again. I
figure I can always use the attachments I already have on the KA if I feel I
need/want to use one. Then just when I think I've made up my mind about "the
gift", I think about more computer toys Lol

Sure is :)

I hadn't heard of them until we moved here :) :)

This is the Lamb and Orzo Recipe:
=== Yiouvestsi ===
From Les Mallos' Complete MiddleEast Cookbook
Preheat oven to 350F
6 leg or shoulder chops, thickly cut 1/4 cup butter or oil
1 large onion
1 cup tomato puree
1 cup chopped, peeled tomatoes
3 cloves
large piece of cinnamon bark
salt, freshly ground black pepper
4-5 cups boiling water or stock
2 cups orzos
1/4 cup grated kefalotiri or parmesean cheese 1/2 cup diced haloumy or feta
cheese
Have butcher cut chops about 1 1/4 inch thick, or purchase a leg of lamb and
cut it into 6 steaks or pieces. Place lamb in a baking dish and spread butter
or oil on top. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes. Add onion to the dish,
and return to the oven for 10 minutes more. Add the tomato puree, chopped
tomatoes, cloves, and cinnamon; salt and pepper to taste. Baste the meat with
the liquid and cook for an hour more, or until the meat is tender, adding a
little of the stock or water if necessary.
When meat is cooked, add all the water or stock and stir in the orzos. Cook
for 20 minutes more, adding a bit more water if the mixture looks dry. When
the orzos are tender, sprinkle cheese over the orzos and return to the oven for
5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Should be good :)

Sure sounds like it.. sadly, I can't use that when my daughter and the
grand-boys are here.. One of them, forget which one, has something in it that's
not good for them.. hence my own seasoning mix for stock when they come over :)
For Beef, I use this mix:
==Vegan Beef Bouillon==
Makes about one cup good strong bouillion
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon soybean (not soybean and rice) miso paste 2 Tablespoons black soy
sauce (this is darker than "dark soy sauce") 1/4 teaspoon sage
2 Tablespoons molasses
Mix the miso paste with a little water to dissolve, then add the other
ingredients.

Amazing what you come up when you don't have a choice (bg)

That's the plan.. I'm planning on contacting a number of them.

Understand :) Well, these puppies have certainly brought that one back several
times (more than I like to count! (g))
Take care,
