Hi Dave,

RH>  RH> IOW, a real long shot.

RH>  DD> True enough. I note that the Power Ball was hit last Wednesday
RH>  DD> and tonight's draw is worth *only* U$40 million to a single
RH>  DD> winner. Long odds - but a huge payout.

RH> And nobody won but I heard on the news tonight that now 75 numbers
RH> are in play vs the 50 or so they used until a few months ago. Since
RH> they added the extra numbers, nobody has won a jackpot. But, they
RH> keep trying, and spending money that could be better spent
RH> elsewhere.

 DD> Different lottery game. You are referring to the Megamilions game
 DD> which increased its matrix to 75 numbers on 19 October. The also
 DD> decreased the "Megaballs" to only 15 ... there are increased chances

Shows you how much attention I pay to those money wasters.


RH>  DD>       Title: Cajun Cornmeal Mush (Couche Couche)
RH>  DD>  Categories: Grains, Dairy
RH>  DD>       Yield: 4 servings

RH>  DD>       2 c  Yellow cornmeal
RH>  DD>     1/4 c  Oil
RH>  DD>   1 1/2 ts Salt; to taste
RH>  DD>       1 ts Baking powder
RH>  DD>     3/4 c  Milk
RH>  DD>     3/4 c  Water


RH>  DD>   A hot cereal made with cornmeal. Serve it just like
RH>  DD>   oatmeal. It's tasty. It's different. You can make it your
RH>  DD>   own adding your favorite mix-ins - raisins, maple syrup,
RH>  DD>   etc.

RH> But not for Steve's breakfast! I was looking at various breads at
RH> the Manna Ministry (part of the Sharing Shop) today but didn't pick
RH> any up. All the "whole wheat" had a good bit of enriched (white)
RH> flour, a string of chemicals a mile long and corn/corn meal. I did
RH> get some whole wheat English muffins and some whole wheat sandwich
RH> thins that had none of the above but a little bit of corn meal on
RH> the muffins. It's a small enough amount that Steve isn't bothered
RH> with it.

 DD> To be honest I forgot about his corn allergy. Sorry about that. I
 DD> quite like fired mush, couche couche, etc. but loathe grits. Go
 DD> figger.

It's frustrating at times, especially in corn on the cob season. He
tries not to tempt me with eating foods I shouldn't have so I do
likewise for him. I'm glad he's back to eating pork tho; he likes the
broccoli salad I make that has bacon in it. Turkey bacon just wouldn't
taste the same.

 DD> Don't serve this to him, though.

 DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

 DD>       Title: Corn Meal Mush
 DD>  Categories: Five, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 12 servings

 DD>       3 c  Water
 DD>   1 1/2 ts Salt
 DD>       1 c  Corn meal
 DD>       1 c  Cold water

And fancy folks call it polenta. (G)  I've tried it--can take or leave
it, nothing really special about it in my opinion. Maybe if I fried it
in bacon grease or something of that sort....................
