Hi Michael,

 ML> Mexico would likely have trouble the first time s/he
 ML> encountered Chicago or New York tap water.
 RH> And we were told not to drink tap water in Mexico.

 ML> Just depends what you're used to ...

Yes, and when you move, adapting to that area's water. I had problems in
Massachusetts but by the time we left (6 months later), I was able to
drink it.


 ML>  Even in the States,
 RH> we can have bad reactions to water outside of where we live but since
 RH> it's generally better overall, we adapt quickly.

 ML> But that was part of the point, too.

Got the point.


 RH> I've not seen either, nor do I want to see either one.

 ML> Good choice, I think. Sometimes I wonder why they bothered
 ML> to make such films.

I've no idea, myself. Bad use of time and money, IMO.


 ML> WHOLE DRIED GREEN PEA SOUP:
 ML> 3              stalks celery, chopped to medium sized pieces
 RH> I'll add carrots but not celery as a general rule, onions, and

 ML> I went through a no celery phase but now put a bit in a lot
 ML> of soups and stews, though generally chopped very fine so
 ML> that it's more an herb than a major ingredient. I find it
 ML> works very well in beef stews.

 RH> sometimes potatoes. I've also tossed in some tomato sauce as part of
 RH> the liquid, not bad tasting overall.

 ML> Not being from a potato culture, I don't do that. Recently
 ML> I have seen potatoes appear in Chinese dishes at restaurants
 ML> but have never yet had the nerve to try one such. Tomatoes,
 ML> they're often good to add that extra something.

I've not seen potatoes in Chinese food yet but haven't been to a Chinese
restaurant in a while. A few weeks ago we got a number of Indian side
dishes (in pouches) at World Market, had the Bombay potatoes (with chick
peas, in sauce) last night. Not bad, somewhat spicy, might be worth
buying again on sale. Somewhat higher in carbs than some of the other
Indian sides we got but probably because it had both potatoes and chick
peas, 2 high carb foods.

 ML> Ice cubes
 ML> yield: 2 trays
 ML> categories: beverages, very low carbs, lactose free, low protein, low
 ML> sodium, gluten free, low cholesterol, low sat. fat., low calorie, low
 ML> carb, egg free, bizarre, weeknight, holiday, novelty, 5 ingredients
 ML> or less, freezer, < 4 hours time to make, easy,
 ML> those are the categories listed in the original recipe, definitely a
 ML> spoof

 ML> 2 c water (approximately)
 ML> 2 Tb water (additional if needed)

 ML> Total Time: 2 hrs 2 mins
 ML> Prep Time: 2 mins
 ML> Cook Time: 2 hrs


 ML> I'm publishing this recipe because I'm sure that there are
 ML> other families, who have members, who don't know how, or
 ML> have forgotten how to make ice when the ice tray is empty.

For those that don't have an automatic ice maker in their freezer. BTW,
why is the ice that comes from one of those still referred to as cubes,
when it is crescents? Even on the auto ice/water dispensers it is still
shown/listed as cubes, not crescents. Life's little mysteries.
