 ML>> Interesting and in the case of the gelatin dessert atypical.
 NB>> Just how atypical can be seen from the reaction of a friend of ours
 NB>> who had been turned totally off any sort of jello... after a small
 NB>> taste of it, she forever after referred to it as Her jello, and wanted
 NB>> to go back for more.  ;)
 ML> Perhaps I should experiment with gelatin desserts next.
 
Could be interesting.  :)

 NB>> Sigh.  But maybe you'll stumble on that great Cajun place... if
 NB>> Ed can keep himself out of jail long enough...   :)
 ML> That great Cajun place could be Janis's house - the Shipps
 ML> could make their jambalaya, and I could do something peculiar
 ML> like crab-stuffed boudin.

Definitely interesting... ;)   But it's not found Ed...  (G)

 ML>> Why they made the stuff for the purpose of obscuring the
 ML>> taste of the finest, most delicate seafood in the world
 ML>> I just can't fathom.
 NB>> The necessity of gilding the lily...?

 ML> There never is any need to gild the lily.

Only in some people's minds...  :)

 ML> I found an open carton of half and half in the fridge and made
 ML> myself a milk shake (lots of pills) and took some of that
 ML> chicken and made the simplest chicken dish. I am really into
 ML> simplification, though if anyone needs me to make something
 ML> fancy at the echo picnic, that could also be done.

I enjoy seeing others do fancy... and generally enjoy eating it.  But,
more and more I'm into simple... :)

 ML> Milk shake
 ML> cat: heavy dairy, mine, today, dessert
 ML> servings: 1
 ML> 1 oz hot water
 ML> 1 oz sugar
 ML> 1 ts vanilla extract
 ML> 6 oz half and half
 ML> Dissolve sugar in hot water. Refrigerate until cold.
 ML> Add vanilla and stir in half and half.

My milkshakes tend to be scoop ice cream into glass, add enough milk to
make it drinkable, mix together and drink... :)

 ML> Simplest chicken dish
 ML> cat: poultry, main, mine, today
 ML> servings: 1
 ML> 6 oz diced chicken (I used thighs)
 ML> 1 Tb soy sauce
 ML> 2 Tb sherry
 ML> 1 garlic clove, smashed
 ML> 1 Tb oil (I used rendered chicken fat)
 ML> Marinate chicken in soy and sherry. Drain and
 ML> saute until cooked in oil in which a garlic clove
 ML> has been fried.

Dunno about simplest... but I'll grant you simple.  :)

 NB>> Perhaps more research is needed...  From empirical experience, the
 NB>> yogurt cultures do work to replace the good gut bacteria... but just
 NB>> how, or if their presence is more a stimulation for the good stuff, I
 NB>> really don't know.  But they may not exactly do well with coconut or
 NB>> soy or almond "milks" for their own propagation...
 ML> The products tasted kind of crummy but not really sour as
 ML> an aged heavily propagated yogurt does. It's still a mystery
 ML> to me, and all the weasel wording on the Internet doesn't help.

Not surprised on the weasel wording... ;)   If I ever had the time,
energy and accessibility at the same time, it's something that I'd be
interested in researching out, too...  if...  :)
