~stacey Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (09:45) #302

~aschuth Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (12:05) #303

Red or green Tabasco? Alexander Resident ***Censored, Because I May Not Be Colour-Blind, But I Don't Know A Thing About Spelling***, The Spring

~stacey Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (12:10) #304

~aschuth Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (12:15) #305

Ever had the green one? Yeah-We-Know-Who-You-Are-And-This-Is-Tiring-Us Resident ***Still No Clue***, The Spring

~riette Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (13:01) #306

Hi, Alex! How have you been??

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (14:36) #307

I can make a really good cream sauce for fish with the green one, Alexander

~stacey Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (15:17) #308

never tried the green one...

~stacey Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (15:23) #309

... but I'd love that receipe WER!

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (15:50) #310

okay, I'll write one out later...

~MarciaH Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (22:01) #311

Could I have one, too, please? We have so much fish here...

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (22:12) #312

I'll post it in seafood...

~MarciaH Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (22:17) #313

Thanking you in advance, I am devoutly hoping it is not sauce for green fish...

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (23:50) #314

nah...it's cream and butter and lime juice and green Tabasco and jalapenos, etcetera...

~MarciaH Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (23:55) #315

Whew! Put lime juice in anything and I am your slave!

~riette Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (02:54) #316

What GREEN one, Wer?? Sounds like you're gonig to make a sauce to put on something with syphilis!

~stacey Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (09:26) #317

uggggho!

~terry Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (10:08) #318

Coupla cinnamon buns and coffee.

~stacey Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (11:34) #319

yogurt drink (pretty yummy) banana Nutrigrain bar water peppermint patties (but I'm hankering for Thai food...)

~riette Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (15:15) #320

I love yoghurt drinks - especially grenadella flavour. But over here peach flavour is the closest one gets! What is a peppermint patty though?? I had: one bread (one of my current addictions) loads of apple (another addiction) water melon (") huge salad with French dressing from the bottle 1 avocado coke Oh, and I stole the kids' sweeties whenever they weren't looking!

~stacey Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (15:18) #321

add to my list Pad Pra Krow w/ tofu and two more peppermint patties Ree-head, peppermint patties are chocolate covering a creamy mint center... tre yummy! oh and I ate a nectarine

~MarciaH Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (22:51) #322

Tonight served by the drain-unclogger and sometime cook, a concoction of white potatoes (skin on) cubed, onions, tofu and some sort of mystery meat in an interesting (read edible and not half bad)sort of gravy. Served with green beans. and lots of water

~riette Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (09:14) #323

How can you EAT that stuff??? Tofu, I mean. It tastes EXACTLY like rubber. Why would anyone want to eat rubber??

~stacey Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (09:19) #324

Ree-head... the beauty of tofu is that it tastes EXACTLY like whatever sauce it's in! The texture is a little bouncy but, if it's cooked right, the outside has a thin coating of crunchy flavor!

~riette Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (13:24) #325

Brrrrrrrr....battered rubber. No, NO, it's coming for me!! �sign of the cross� Keep away from me, ye rubbery piece a' anti-christ!

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (14:12) #326

Ree, Dear (putting cool cloths on your fevered brow), could it be you had the world's worst cook presenting tofu to you the first time? Mashed and blended with cottage cheese with salad dressing, you cannot even tell it is in there. You do not have to eat the rubbery sort (makes me think it was old). There is soft tofu which blends in so ameniably that Stacey is right - it tastes like whatever sauce it is in. And, If you have never had firm tofu slightly crunchy on the outside but smoothe on the insid , You are really missing out on something almost sensual. I have never seen 666 on a bag of tofu, so I think you are safe - put away your crucifix and wooden stake. *lol*

~stacey Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (14:33) #327

*giggling with a concerned face* (okay, not really, I'm laughing my butt off -- what's left of it since someone 'pinched' it in the bath..)

~stacey Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (14:36) #328

but... what I ate today... banana egg burrito w/pepperjack and lots of RED tabasco leftover risotto w/ scallops and shrimp chocolate kisses w/ almonds

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (22:49) #329

(pondering...how does Ree know what rubber tastes like "exactly'?) Hawaiian dinner: Laulau (steamed meat and fish wrapped in taro leaves) Ripe Poi (finally!) Lomilomi Salmon Lots and Lots of water

~riette Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (03:03) #330

I used to eat these bouncy rubber balls when I was a kid - seriously, I loved them. But the novelty sort of wore off by the time I was 16. Wow, your dinner sounds great! The kids and I just had hotdogs with ketchup and mustard, and watermelon for desert.

~MarciaH Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (21:35) #331

That's ok. My son ate the rubber bumper nubbins from the aliding glass dhower doors, We never knew where they went til many years later. I do not think his father does to this day! It is delicious - am having more of it tonight (Hawaiian)

~MarciaH Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (23:08) #332

And just as I was consuming my laulau, poi and lomilomi salmon, a neighbor brought me a big bouquet of anthuriums from her garden. Aloha!

~MarciaH Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (23:10) #333

(my son's eating the rubber nubbins apparently so traumatized his mother that she cannot write sliding glass shower doors correctly anymore. Sorry!)

~riette Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (01:45) #334

ha-ha!! So, THAT's why my mum never got out of the hippie stage!!! It's all about the rubber balls - well, if you looked at that from a freudian point of view it must have been very worrying indeed!

~MarciaH Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (11:50) #335

*lol* I never thought of it that way! Makes me wonder what else he consumed when I was not looking. He turned out pretty well, so I think I'd rather not know...=)

~riette Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (13:14) #336

I thoroughly agree! I once caught Isa combing Elza's hair with the toilet brush - after dipping it, of course. And that was more than I ever wanted to know about my children's secret habits!!

~MarciaH Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (13:23) #337

Ree, think of the fun we'd have reading current kids What I Ate Today! Now, how do we get them to admit it?! (Maybe we don't want to know these things, either.)

~riette Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (16:09) #338

YEah! We could call it the Bugkiller (Killbugger???) conference....

~MarciaH Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (19:04) #339

Parents might object to the Killbugger name, but I love it!!! Watch out world...Marcia and Riette are on the loose with their busy little brains in overdrive...

~riette Sun, Jul 25, 1999 (01:33) #340

Little indeed! I carry half of mine in a bag over my shoulder!!

~aschuth Sun, Jul 25, 1999 (03:11) #341

(I just knew it) Riette, plastic bag or hemp? Just askin'.

~riette Sun, Jul 25, 1999 (09:25) #342

Why, a rubbish bag, of course.

~MarciaH Sun, Jul 25, 1999 (14:07) #343

Ree, it is your choice of bag, but I hardly think rubbish bag is a fit description. I use an attache case for mine (lest it becomes unattached...)

~riette Sun, Jul 25, 1999 (15:57) #344

But don't you find it just ruins the shape? Or is your brain naturally square?

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 25, 1999 (22:53) #345

maybe the case is soft-sided...

~MarciaH Sun, Jul 25, 1999 (23:18) #346

Thanks for that suggestion. I was about to propose a bowling ball carrier bag..

~MarciaH Sun, Jul 25, 1999 (23:43) #347

eggs and rice and spam water pot stickers water

~riette Mon, Jul 26, 1999 (02:44) #348

ha-ha!!! Good one!!! What is SPAM??? And pot stickers??

~terry Mon, Jul 26, 1999 (10:49) #349

Just coffee so far.

~MarciaH Mon, Jul 26, 1999 (12:02) #350

First the pot stickers: They are Chinese and are finely minced meat and veggeies and herbs encased in a pasta shell. First you boil then to cook the shell, then you brown them in a frying pan to make them more tasty and crunchy. Served with a wonderful dipping sauce not very different from the teriyaki sauce I posted on The Spring Cookbook (which everyone ignored, I think.) We had a lengthy and hilarious discussion with a lady from Portugal in Drool about what was Spam. For now I will just tell you they take a pig and grind it very fine, season it like ham and put it in a can. It is ok...but, only just! Over here it is staple for breakfast. I render out as much of the fat as I can and make them into spam chips - very tasty with a riceball when hiking. Just coffee for me, too so far...

~stacey Mon, Jul 26, 1999 (12:15) #351

Morning Paula nd Marcia! Every year Austin hosts the SPAM festival... quite a treat. Au contraire Marcia (bout the teriyaki sauce) ... I copied pasted, printed out and brought it home for the next time I get around to cooking!

~MarciaH Mon, Jul 26, 1999 (15:23) #352

You mean there is really some place which celebrates Spam?! I am astounded. You would not believe the things they thought up for my birthday in Drool: Spam can earrings, clothing, dancing cans...far more trouble than warranted to make Spam a topic of international passtime for a while. Let me know what you think of the Teriyaki sauce. I make a bunch and it lasts indefinitely in the fridge.

~KitchenManager Mon, Jul 26, 1999 (18:23) #353

yep...Spamorama...

~KitchenManager Mon, Jul 26, 1999 (18:24) #354

oh, yeah...there's a movie and a website about and for it, also...

~MarciaH Mon, Jul 26, 1999 (18:27) #355

For the product or the event? (I know about Spam.com where a lot of my "birthday presents" came from)

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 27, 1999 (03:37) #356

the event...

~MarciaH Tue, Jul 27, 1999 (14:16) #357

Thank you Dear...shall hunt for it and post it on 72. They thought I had abandoned them, but I was just waiting for some really special news - like this one! I am sure this is just what they wanted to know...

~stacey Tue, Jul 27, 1999 (14:18) #358

banana water two baked potatos with pepperjack cheese and tabasco water tomatos water

~MarciaH Tue, Jul 27, 1999 (14:20) #359

~stacey Tue, Jul 27, 1999 (14:36) #360

wow you really are SPAM queen!

~MarciaH Tue, Jul 27, 1999 (14:51) #361

It was available and I had made spam chips (the best way to make it) yesterday and had them left over. My appetite for Spam comes and goes. Soon I will not be able to look at a can again for a long while.

~terry Wed, Jul 28, 1999 (09:35) #362

Mine is gone. I can't even remember having spam anymore.

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 29, 1999 (18:51) #363

Terry, you are much better off without it. Even in Austin it is OK not to eat the stuff. (Passing the boiled peanuts and the pineapple fresh from the yard...)

~stacey Tue, Aug 3, 1999 (13:40) #364

bad food day... just can't seem to get into eating... egg burrito w/ tabasco Coke two mini Milky Ways

~terry Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (18:01) #372

I had a similar day. Taco Bell, Sprite, breakfast at Waterloo (the usual). I'm sated at this moment.

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (18:03) #373

Does last night count? I had Hawaiian for dinner: Laulau (taro leaves steamed and cooked with beef, salt pork, purple sweet potato and fish) Poi (fresh, unfortunately) Chicken Luau (boiled taro leaves, chicken and "long rice" in chicken broth) LomiLomi Salmon (salt-cured salmon soaked and cubed with tomatoes and green onions) Haupia (coconut milk thickened with corn starch, sweetened and chilled) Pumpkin gourd made to taste like punpkin pie filling Water and more water.

~stacey Thu, Aug 19, 1999 (12:44) #374

was really sick last night... could it be something I ate? My stomach's still pretty jumpy today so I'm all BRAT diet for now... (hmmm... does Tabasco on toast violate the whole purpose?!?! Darn!)

~MarciaH Thu, Aug 19, 1999 (14:45) #375

Sounds like insult added to injury...Poor Stace...*hugs*

~terry Wed, Aug 25, 1999 (20:36) #381

Cheese casserole and mashed potatoes at Whole Foods. Then later, breaded mushrooms and beer at UR Cooks. Still hungry!

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 25, 1999 (20:48) #382

Sounds like you need a serious calorie intake of the slow-digesting sort. Grab some nuts and berries and quit eating the fast stuff. The cheese casserole should have done it for you, though...(...a thick and juicy steak with fresh mushers would be just the thing...but not for him, I think!)

~MarciaH Thu, Aug 26, 1999 (16:44) #383

oriental noodle soup with tofu water and I am getting hungry....

Good Lord! If we are what we eat...we are not much so far today. I am still digesting a huge Prime Rib dinner from last night that no one thought I could finish. I am tiny in lots of ways, but I also know how to eat (twitch factor takes all of the calories out and I had sour cream all over my potatoes and in my horseradish...) I did not bring any home in a doggy bag...just in my very happy tummy.

~autumn Fri, Aug 27, 1999 (23:56) #390

Ate horribly all week (vacations ruin good habits) even though most meals were Indian or Vegetarian. Still ate WAY TOO MUCH! Back to 1200 calories a day tomorrow.

~stacey Mon, Aug 30, 1999 (17:42) #391

I'm HUNGRY!

~stacey Mon, Aug 30, 1999 (17:42) #392

tee hee...

~MarciaH Mon, Aug 30, 1999 (23:32) #393

You did not close your html tag, dear. Allow me...

~riette Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (07:39) #394

We can only eat 1200 calories a day? OOPS! It is no bloody wonder my ar$e is so big!

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (13:00) #395

can never see what works through telnet... lemme see... DOES THIS WORK? well..

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (17:20) #397

add pasta w/ clam/shrimp cream sauce to the mix... and I'll make a point to go out for Thai food tonight!

~mrchips Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (17:26) #398

Homemade whole wheat bread. Tastes good, but my loaves still come out small and dense with caved in top (from bread machine). Am using suggested amount of yeast and am worried that any more will make the bread smell foul. Any suggestions from any gourmet bread bakers how to fix my problem (I'm new at this).

~mrchips Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (17:32) #399

Wish I could have pasta with white sauce...have some more for me, Stacey!

~autumn Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (21:26) #400

Sorry I can't help you, John, I loathe breadmakers. Riette, I do 1200 cal. for 5 days, then take 2 days off and gorge myself!
