 NB>> Sounds tasty...  :)   Is that 2 Tb each of the lemon juice, coriander
 NB>> and red pepper sauce, or are the second two "to taste"...?
 ML> Everything is "to taste." 

There is that.  ;)  I was more just making sure of what her directions
were, since it wasn't clear to me which she meant... :)

 ML> For my preference, the appropriate dose of coriander

 ML> closer to the 2 Tb if it wasn't too vinegary.
 
I can believe that.  ;)

 NB>>> We were discussing Pi Day at church on Sunday... One guy was saying
 NB>>> that his son's Math teacher wanted all the kids to bring in some
 NB>>> sort of pie (I guess on Friday) to celebrate... I mentioned that
 NB>>> savory would count... and then someone mentioned pizza... (G)  One
 NB>>> could really have fun with that... :)
 RH>> That could be quite interesting.
 NB>> I didn't get the chance yesterday to ask how it went, and what
 NB>> actually transpired...  ;)   But on Pi Day, we had a quasi
 NB>> "upside-down" pot pie for supper ... I did that "stir-fry" of chicken
 NB>> and veggies that I mentioned in an earlier message, and served it atop
 NB>> of a slice of multigrain bread... I had toyed with the idea of serving
 NB>> it in a bowl with the slice of bread on top, but backed off.  And then
 NB>> for dessert we shared a mini pecan pie from Wegmans, bought the day
 NB>> before...   

 ML> I didn't see much hoopla about Pi day here, despite
 ML> its happening less frequently than a total eclipse of
 ML> the sun. I posted a bunch of pastry recipes and hoped
 ML> other people would too. Of course, on 1/9/61 I made a
 ML> big deal of it, but it seems nobody else did.

I suppose there should have been a big buildup to the day... Get people
talking about what they'd do to recognize the specialness of this March
14th... ;)  Too bad there probably won't be many of us around in 100
years when it comes round again... ;)  I don't remember now which echo
it was that there was that first message alerting to it being 3/14/15
and the next 5 digits also showing up then at 9:26:53 am and pm...  I
suppose next year one could try for something at 1:59:26, to at least
get eight digits of Pi... ;)

ttyl       neb

... The polls show 8 out of 5 schizophrenics agree!
