Title: Budae Jjigae (Army Base Stew)
Categories: Korean, Stews
Yield: 4 Servings

MMMMM---------------------------STOCK--------------------------------
2 Dried shiitake mushrooms
8 lg Dried anchovies; heads and
-guts removed, in a soup
-strainer or tightly wrapped
-in a cheesecloth
Dried kelp (5x6" sheet)
8 c Water
1 ts Salt

MMMMM----------------------SEASONING PASTE---------------------------
6 cl Garlic; minced
1 tb Hot pepper paste
2 tb Hot pepper flakes
1 ts Soy sauce
1 ts Sugar
2 tb Water

MMMMM----------------------------STEW---------------------------------
1/2 lb Pork belly (or pork
-shoulder); cut into bite
-size pieces
2 oz Sweet potato starch noodles;
-soaked in water for 30
-minutes and drained
1 c Cabbage; cut into bite size
-pieces
1/2 md Onion; sliced
2 Green onions; cut into 1"
-pieces
1/2 c Fermented kimchi; chopped
4 oz Polish sausage; sliced
4 oz Spam; sliced thinly
1/2 pk Instant ramyeon
1 c Radish sprouts (or spinach,
-watercress, arugula)
1/2 c Tofu; sliced, (optional)
1/4 c Canned baked beans;
-(optional)
12 Sliced rice cakes up to 16;
-(optional)
1 sl American cheese (optional)

Prepare Stock:

Combine the water, anchovies, mushrooms, and kelp in a large pot.
Cover and cook for 25 minutes over medium high heat. Add the pork and
cook for another 10 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat. Take out the anchovies, kelp and
mushrooms. Slice the mushrooms into bite size pieces.

Strain the mixture of the stock and the pork into a large bowl. Put
the pork into a small bowl. You will get about 6 cups of stock. Stir
in the salt until dissolved.

Make Seasoning Paste:

Combine the seasoning paste ingredients – garlic, hot pepper paste,
hot pepper flakes, soy sauce, sugar, and water in a bowl. Mix well.

Arrange the ingredients in a shallow pot (10 to 12"):

Put the cabbage, onion, green onion, pork, and the mushrooms, on the
bottom of the pot.

Add the kimchi, and the seasoning paste over top.

Add the spam, sausage, rice cake, tofu, baked beans, and cheese.

Add the ramyeon and the sweet potato starch noodles.

Put radish sprouts on top and add 3 cups of stock.

Cook And Serve:

Cook over medium high heat. Korean style is to cook at the table with
a portable burner. Friends and family will be sitting around the pot,
talking and laughing, and maybe drinking. You can take a bit of
cooked sausage or the meat with your chopsticks as you wait for the
broth to boil and the noodles to soften. If you don't have a tabletop
burner, you can cook it on the stove away from the table.

When it starts boiling about 10 minutes later, stir and turn the
ingredients over with tongs to cook evenly.

Serve right after the noodles and ramyeon have softened. Transfer some
cooked stew to individual bowls and serve. Add more stock as the broth
boils down.

Title: Tin Can Casserole - AKA C-Ration Stew
Categories: Beef, Beans, Cheese, Breads
Yield: 2 servings

1 cn Franks & beans
1 cn Beefsteak w/potatoes
1 ds (generous) Tabasco
1 cn Crumbled crackers
1 cn Cheese spread; melted
4 tb Green onions; coarse
- chopped
2 tb Butter or oil or fat
1 sm Can of water; as needed

The casserole can be elegant, but as most men know, women
often use it as a camouflage for a hasty meal after a
long bridge game. Here's a recipe to put the Old Lady's
Bridge Casserole to shame.

Melt butter or oil or fat and saute' onions in it. Then
add the cheese until it is melted and well blended. Now
add the crackers for a few minutes and then return to
tin can or other cookmg utensil.

Combine a can of franks & beans with the beefsteak &
potatoes into this mixture and correct the seasoning.

Cook for as long as necessary, seeing that the casserole
is always thick. However, if it gets too thick, add a
little water as a thinning agent.

This can be served over boiled rice with an added dash
of Tabasco just before eating.

Title: Budae Jjigae (Army Base Stew)
Categories: Korean, Stews

Whose army?

South Korea. Based on what i've seen on Korean TV, all able bodied
citizens are expected to serve in the military somewhere between 1 to
2 years. I got the impression they usually do so in their early 20's.
I also got the impression that it was similar to conscription in
Scandinavia, where it was more like Scouts than Boot Camp.

OPERATION KINGFISHER a totally gripping and emotional WW2 historical
fiction. The autor's name is Hilary Green and it's hard to ascertain
from the writing if the Hilary is a male or female name. The Brits do
use Hilary on either sex as a name.

Since I got my Kindle I've bought only one print book. A non-fiction
tome called "Holy Blood - Holy Grail" which is a real thought provoker.

Title: Hilary's Chinese Chicken Salad
Categories: Poultry, Greens, Nuts, Pasta, Sauces
Yield: 4 Servings

3 Boned, skinned chicken
- breasts
1 Head of cabbage; shredded
4 oz Pkg. Ramen noodles
4 oz Sliced almonds
1/4 c Sesame seeds

MMMMM--------------------------DRESSING-------------------------------
6 tb Sugar
Juice from 1 lemon
4 tb Rice wine vinegar
1/4 c Extra virgin olive oil
1 ts Salt
1 ts Ground ginger
1/4 ts Black pepper

Simmer the chicken breasts until done, about 45 minutes.

Break Ramen noodles into small pieces, and mix with
almonds and sesame seeds.

Toast the noodles, almonds and sesame seeds on a cookie
sheet in a 350 degree oven until golden brown. (About 10
minutes)

Dice the chicken and mix with the shredded cabbage.

Mix the dressing ingredients together and shake well in a
sealed container.

Add the dressing and the noodle, almond and sesame
mixture to the cabbage and chicken, just before serving.

NOTES: Adjust the amount of cabbage as you desire for the
amount of chicken used. Some people like less cabbage and
more chicken.

Cook the chicken in chicken broth for more flavor, then
use the cooking liquid to make soup.

You can make the dressing, toasted noodle mixture,
chicken and cabbage in advance and toss them together at
the last minute for a nice crisp salad.

You could optionally add cashew nuts to the salad.

I'm rereading a sort of fantacy set that starts with 'Lion of Senet' by Jennifer Fallon. ast enjoyed when I was 'bee bopping to the Brim' on the USS Fort McHenry. Sea bream would hit the sides of the ship underway as you sailed along and my berthing was under the water line so you'd hear it at night, Kinda a comforting white noise actually.

I hadn't heard of Jennifer Fallon before. The local library has one of her books in the catalog, The Lyre Thief, in ebook format only.

I can imagine the water noise being comforting. Same deal with engine
noise, if sufficiently continuous, distant, and quiet.

My most recent fantasy was The Very Best of Fantasy & Science Fiction
Sixtieth Anniversary Anthology.

The story that stayed most prominently in my mind was The Women Men Don't
See by James Tiptree, Jr. It was published in 1973 but pretty much makes
the same point as the more recent "Man Or Bear" discourse on TikTok.
I also enjoyed Solitude by Ursula K. Leguin and The Merchant And The Alchemist's Gate by Ted Chiang.

I enjoy a lot of fiction but not much on short stories. I like to be enveloped in a fully fleshed out world of it's own. Stephen R Donaldson, Mercedes Lacky, Marion Zimmer Bradley, JRR Tolkin, Anne Rice, Jack London, Issac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Jean Auel, among others like Shakesphere and Xenophon.

Yeah, pretty different.

Having read all of Admiral Bob's (Heinlein) output and all the Dr. Asimov
I could track down (including the mysteries/detectice stories) as well as Arthur C. Clarke, Fred Pohl, Roger Zelzany and Ursula K. LeGuin one might
think me stuck on space opera. But, I've also read all of the output of

Title: The Spice Must Flow Cinnamon Chicken Roulade
Categories: Poultry, Citrus, Herbs, Spices, Pastry
Yield: 8 servings

2 Pastry sheets; thawed
3 lb Vhicken thighs; boned,
- skinnes
2 ts Ceylon Cinnamon
1 tb Spice Melange; an Arrakis
- Southwest Seasoning
1/2 ts (ea) salt & black pepper
1 lg Lemon; juice and zest
1 lh Onion; halved, sliced in 1/4
- inch pieces
1 lg Egg
3 tb (to 4 tb) olive oil
2 tb Water
1 ts Black lava salt; opt

Set broiler or grill on high (450oF/232oC)

In a large bowl or gallon sealable bag, place the
chicken, spices, salt and pepper, lemon juice and lemon
zest, olive oil and onions. Cover and marinate for a
minimum of one hour to overnight in the fridge.

With the broiler on "High", line a large sheet pan with
aluminum foil. Place rack on closest level to the
broiler.

Spread the marinated Chicken with onions in one layer on
the large sheet pan. Broil for 18-20 minutes, taking out
and flipping the chicken pieces every 6 minutes.

After chicken is cooked all the way through and has a
little bit of char on the surface, set chicken aside and
cool for 10-20 minutes. After removing the chicken, set
oven temperature to 450oF/232oC.

Once cooled, chop chicken into 1/2" pieces, placing the
pieces and the onion in a bowl, but reserving the
chicken drippings from the sheet pan in a liquid
measuring cup.

In a small bowl, mix together one egg and 2 Tablespoons
water to make an egg wash. Sprinkle some flour on a
sheet of parchment paper and roll out the puff pastry
dough sheets to 1/8". Overlap the sheets by 1/2" and
seal together with egg wash using a pastry brush or your
finger.

Place the chicken and onion filling lengthwise down the
center of the two puff pastry sheets and carefully lift
the edge of the parchment paper to start rolling the
dough into a "snake" shape. Leave one end open (for the
mouth,) and pinch the other end into a "tail."

Using a sharp knife, cut 3-4 inch slits in the top of
the roll. Using a pastry brush, brush the entire surface
of the roll with the egg wash and top with a scattering
of Black Lava Salt. They looks like tiny Fremen riding
the sandworm!

Bake the roll at 450oF/232oC for 20-25 minutes or until
golden brown.

Remove the roll from the oven and let cool for a few
minutes before transferring to your serving tray.
Garnish with Turmeric Rice and Tzatziki (separate
recipes).

Jean Auel is 'Clan of the Cave Bear'. Girl then woman in the stone age. She's a rebel who trys to be normal. A medicine woman/Doctor who domesticates a wolf and a horse but it all grows in bits that are sensible as they happen.

Side seege. I have a returning sysop. Think anyone would like to see him here? He's still setting up so would be a bit.

2 tb Takrai (lemon grass);

1/4 c Kachai (lesser ginger);

1/2 c Bai maenglak (kaffir lime

+=OR=+
1 ts Lime zest

A recent trip to Bangkok resulted in our eating at a nice
little restaurant in a back alley near the airport. This
dish is quite common, but both my wife and I were taken by
the presentation described here (the rest of the recipe is
however my wife's).

Of course before you rush out to try this, I have to say
that you need a heavy, and very sharp knife - a machete or a
survivalist's Bowie might be suitable - and a degree of
skill in its use if you are not to have a messy accident -
spilling the contents of the coconuts all over the kitchen
may well be the least of your problems. So of course I point
out that you can open the coconuts some other way, and serve
the dish in more conventional tableware!

Preparation:

First prepare the curry paste by grinding the ingredients to
a fine paste in a mortar and pestle or food processor.

Pierce the coconuts and drain the juice into a picher. Then
using a machete chop off the top of each coconut, just above
the mid-point, to leave four serving bowls.

Using a spoon scoop out the coconut 'meat' in leaf shaped
pieces with a spoon (or use a melon baller). Add about half
a cup of coconut to the juice for every two cups of juice,
and refrigerate.

Reserve half a cup of coconut meat, and reserve the rest to
make coconut milk for other recipes.

Heat a wok or large sautee pan over medium high heat, and
then add a little oil and stir fry the curry paste until
aromatic. add the chicken, and stir fry briefly and then add
the remaining ingredients, except the lime leaves and the
chicken stock, and stir fry until the chicken begins to
change colour. Add the stock, and cover, simmering until the
chicken and the eggplant is cooked through.

Now serve the curry in the four large coconut shell bowls,
garnished with the lime leaves, and accompanied by rice in
the tops of the coconut shells, bring the chilled coconut
nectar to the table as a refreshing cool drink, and don't
forget the usual condiments (nam pla prik (chilies in fish
sauce), dried ground chilies, and sugar).

Colonel Ian F. Khuntilanont-Philpott; Systems Engineering,
Vongchavalitkul University, Korat 30000, Thailand

NOTES:

Kachai is a relative of ginger, known as Lesser Ginger in
some parts of the world (though I am reminded that in other
places this appelation is used for galangal). For those of a
botanical bent its latin name is Kaempferia Panduratum.

The prik chee fa are a mild chile, about 6 centimetres long
and 1 cm thick. They are known as Thai jalapenos, and if
unavailable the Mexican variety could be substituted. If
dried red jalapenas are not available, deseed, and devein
fresh jalapenos, and use them instead.

Makheua pro are a Thai variety of eggplant, about the size
and shape of a green golfball. If unavailable you can use
normal aubergine, but will need to adjust the cooking time.

Bai maenglak is a sweet Thai basil. If unavailable normal
European basil may be used.

Jean Auel is 'Clan of the Cave Bear'. Girl then woman in the stone age. She's a rebel who trys to be normal. A medicine woman/Doctor who domesticates a wolf and a horse but it all grows in bits that are sensible as they happen.

Clan of the Cave Bear is on my to-read list ever since i read that Ayla,
my favorite character in the SNES RPG "Chrono Trigger", was inspired by
that book.

You will like the Clan books I bet! She;s as accurate as possible on what was known of the times with only some additions to flesh out Neanderthals.

I had that series read to me when i was a kid, and later read a couple of
them myself.

I am fortunate that i can tolerate ebooks pretty well, and there is a wealth
of free ebooks online.

Thanks for the recommendation, i'll bump it up higher on my to-read list.

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

Title: Old-Fashioned Farmer Boy Ice Cream
Categories: Icecream
Yield: 1 Batch

3 lg Eggs
1 c Whole milk
1 c Granulated sugar
3 c Heavy whipping cream;
-divided
2 Lemons
5 lb Ice cubes; up to 7
2 lb Rock salt (ice cream salt);
-up to 3

Separate the eggs into two small bowls, yolks in one and whites in the
second. Beat the yolks for about a minute, until lighter in color and
smooth.

Pour the milk into a small saucepan and turn the heat up to medium
high and heat until simmering. Make sure not to scald the milk.

Add in the sugar and stir until dissolved, about 1-1/2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium low. Add in the egg yolks and stir until
the custard thickens enough to coat your wooden spoon with a milky
film.

Pour the custard into a jar and place in the fridge for later use.

In the bowl of a stand mixer or of a hand mixer, beat the egg whites
until some stiff peaks form. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and beat
for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining cream and stir
gently. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Squeeze
lemons and strain juice to add in later.

Fill a very large wide-mouthed bowl about halfway with ice. Sprinkle
on the salt and create a well in the center of the bowl. Take the
custard and whipped egg mixture out of the fridge. (Fun fact: The
salt will lower the freezing point and produce a solution colder than
32°F.)

Pour the custard into the bowl with the whipped egg mixture. Place
the bowl in the ice and pile ice up on the sides.

Stir for 5 to 10 minutes and cover with a dish towel. Let sit for 10
minutes, then repeat scraping and stirring; repeat this process 3 to 4
times, or until ice cream reaches soft-serve consistency. Add in the
lemon juice.

Continue stirring and resting until the ice cream is too stiff to
move. This will take about an hour. Let the ice cream sit undisturbed
for 30 minutes.

To serve, scoop into bowls and top with desired toppings.

Hi Carol,

I enjoy a lot of fiction but not much on short stories. I like to be enveloped in a fully fleshed out world of it's own. Stephen R Donaldson Mercedes Lacky, Marion Zimmer Bradley, JRR Tolkin, Anne Rice, Jack Londo Issac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Jean Auel, among others like Shakesphere Xenophon.

Nice! I have enjoyed all of those authors except for Jean Auel and Xenophon It's been a while since i immerse myself like that in fantasy. I remember
a promotion where they were giving away the first half of the first book of The Wheel of Time. I read that, and later checked out the rest of the serie from the library. Light reading :}

I learned to read and have been pretty voracious ever since! It hurt
my heart when I had to sell 2,000 books as I joined the Navy. I had
only a pinto to stuff with everything I owned including 2 seabags of uniforms that were not optional. I made room for 750 or so in the
car.

I've also been a voracious reader since I mastered the Dick and Jane
series back in first grade. (G) Favorite genre is historic fiction,
least favorite is romance and science ficton. Bought most of my books in paperback when Steve was active duty but now do more hardback and Nook.

Jean Auel is 'Clan of the Cave Bear'. Girl then woman in the stone
age. She's a rebel who trys to be normal. A medicine woman/Doctor
who domesticates a wolf and a horse but it all grows in bits that

are CS> sensible as they happen.

That's been one of my favorite series since a friend introduced me to it
back when we were in Frankfurt (1986-89). Another friend in that time
frame introduced me to Tom Clancy. Other favorite authors include James Michener (he always has at least general instructions for a recipe in
all of his books), Barbara Taylor Bradford, Alison Weir, Ken Follett,
R.F. Delderfeld and Philippa Gergory

Lots of differences but lots of similar too. Meantime, still chewing down the last of Lion of Senet. Not sure what next from my own library.

Today Charlotte and I had a little fun going to CHKD (local place to donate stuff with tax deduction that helps defray costs for children of low income families with serious condions, a local hospital and famous for stellar care and childrens spinal surgery). I picked a nice coleman cooler with built in handle to whell it around, 2 cook nooks and a dvd with 25 John Wayne movies. Oh, 2 pretty dishes. Charlotte found a cute shirt. Then on to Denny's.

Dennny's is just simple good food that doesn't break the piggy bank. Charlotte had a sald with salmon topper. Came with a generous slab of salmon (6-7oz) on a bed of lettuce, tomtatos, and cucumbers with a honey mustard dressing. I had a big bacon cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles on a toasted bun served with onion rings. Doggy bags followed us home (grin). Then gas using my Harris Teeters point got me 60cents off a gallon.

She went off to game stop after and got Don the last PS2 they had then found a nice hand held game she can use when the ship is in EMCON (no wifi allowed).

Tommorrow is the last day then off at 6am for the airport on Sunday.

There's usually something calling your name. A while back at ReStore
they had a treadle sewing machine, in cabinet, and the cabinet drawers
were stuffed full of sewing odds & ends (thread, tape measure, scissors,
etc) for $45. We've no room to put it in the house or I would have
snatched it up.

When we were stationed at Fort Huachua, I used to go to the local
Denny's a lot with a friend--until it burned down a year or so before we
moved to Hawaii. We've gone back to the FH/Sierra Vista area several
times and saw that the Denny's was rebuilt. I don't think my friend goes
there very much any more, age and health issues keep her pretty well housebound.

She went off to game stop after and got Don the last PS2 they had then found a nice hand held game she can use when the ship is in EMCON (no

Something to keep her busy in down times. I'd probably grab a book from
the ship's library if they had one or have my Nook loaded with new
reads.

Tommorrow is the last day then off at 6am for the airport on Sunday.

I know you've enjoyed having her home. I don't think we'll be getting
out west to see our daughters and grandkids this year, still waiting on
the camper to be fixed and just have a couple of trips planned, Tennesee
and western NC.

End of 3rd grade, was at 5th grade as I entered 4th grade. Not amazing really, all 4 of us were waiting for 'next library day' and checking out max books allowed.

Ah well, making stir fry veggies and a pasta alfredo dish with kielbasa. I do that one often but we both like it a lot! Later, I'll make a pasta salad for munchies or lunch uses.

I think I was a grade or 2 ahead of my reading after first grade. Don't
know how it was measured in grade school but sophomore year of high
school we (class) took a standardised test and the teachers gave us
results individually. In just about all areas I was reading, etc at a
college level sophomore (highest grading they went). I had unrestricted
library priviledges as a 2nd grader, also took advantage of the town
public library and bookmobile. We didn't get tv until I was in 4th
grade, then only one channel, which probably contributed to reading so
much.

Ah well, making stir fry veggies and a pasta alfredo dish with
kielbasa. I do that one often but we both like it a lot! Later, I'll make a pasta salad for munchies or lunch uses.

We're going to do another pita based pizza for supper, use up the pitas
and do it on the grill. I like pasta salad but Steve doesn't so will
make some for me if I have to take a meal somewhere (like our now
deceased quilting group). Had a high protein lunch--scrambled eggs with
cut up hot dogs and cheese, sort of an omelette--so supper doesn't need
to have as much protein.

We have a small hearth but don't use the fireplace that often, even in

camper stove if our power goes out. It's a 3 burner top with a small
oven so we could do quite a bit of cooking, just can't use the microwave
unless we run the generator.

Once I got help with the dyslexia, I hit my stance on reading and progressed rapidly but still had kid interests as expected. I showed up for 3rd grade suddenly reading and at 3rd grade level. End of 3rd grade, was at 5th grade as I entered 4th grade. Not amazing really, all 4 of us were waiting for 'next library day' and checking out max books allowed.

I think I was a grade or 2 ahead of my reading after first grade. Don't
know how it was measured in grade school but sophomore year of high
school we (class) took a standardised test and the teachers gave us
results individually. In just about all areas I was reading, etc at a college level sophomore (highest grading they went). I had unrestricted library priviledges as a 2nd grader, also took advantage of the town
public library and bookmobile. We didn't get tv until I was in 4th
grade, then only one channel, which probably contributed to reading so
much.

Ah well, making stir fry veggies and a pasta alfredo dish with kielbasa. I do that one often but we both like it a lot! Later, I'll make a pasta salad for munchies or lunch uses.

We're going to do another pita based pizza for supper, use up the pitas
and do it on the grill. I like pasta salad but Steve doesn't so will
make some for me if I have to take a meal somewhere (like our now
deceased quilting group). Had a high protein lunch--scrambled eggs with
cut up hot dogs and cheese, sort of an omelette--so supper doesn't need
to have as much protein.

Grin, we had a test at the end of each year from 2nd grade on until HS (multiple states). They were used to assess the school I think.

When we moved to VA, my old records caused a problem as the dyslexia (mom hid it from me) lamded me in remedial finger paintin english. It was a great year as the teacher realized day 2 I was way past that! (1/2 the class couldn't read). She set me free in the library with projects. Wonderful year!

Love the pita pizza idea! I learned to make pitas but I still don't get much of a center hole. I'll keep trying!

Hi Carol,

Ah well, making stir fry veggies and a pasta alfredo dish with kielbasa. I do that one often but we both like it a lot! Later, I'll make a pasta salad for munchies or lunch uses.

We're going to do another pita based pizza for supper, use up the pitas
and do it on the grill. I like pasta salad but Steve doesn't so will
make some for me if I have to take a meal somewhere (like our now
deceased quilting group). Had a high protein lunch--scrambled eggs with
cut up hot dogs and cheese, sort of an omelette--so supper doesn't need
to have as much protein.

Grin, we had a test at the end of each year from 2nd grade on until HS (multiple states). They were used to assess the school I think.

We had various tests over the years, Iowa Test of Basic Skills in 3rd
thru 8th grades are the only ones I remember specific name for. The
English test in 10th grade was a one time test, probably to predict who
would be good college material. Regents Scholarship exam was senior
year, for money from state for college.

When we moved to VA, my old records caused a problem as the

dyslexia CS> (mom hid it from me) lamded me in remedial finger paintin
english. It CS> was a great year as the teacher realized day 2 I was
way past that! CS> (1/2 the class couldn't read). She set me free in
the library with CS> projects. Wonderful year!

We only had graded English classes my senior year, but they weren't
called such. Only 14 of us in the "honors" level; we read books the
other 3 classes didn't. We concentrated on British authors so read (only
one) Shakespear, Thomas Hardy and George Orwell, among others.

Love the pita pizza idea! I learned to make pitas but I still don't
get much of a center hole. I'll keep trying!

We've yet to try making pitas. These were some that were given to
us,supposed to be good for wraps as they didn't have a center hole. They
do make a good pizza but you have to use the double thickness, and even
then, the crust is a much thinner one than we usually make. They bake on
a grill (we have a small pizza oven, with a stone, grill topper) easily
but best to have a peel that's big enough to hold the whole pita, no
flopping over the edges, especially if the pizza is loaded. The pita
also makes a good toaster oven size pizza, good for hot days that you
don't want to heat up the big oven or the grill.

We read a lot of sooks in AP english. Unfortunately the teacher hated me. I had the audacity to date a black student..... I barely survived with a C but locked in 780 SAT in English. A lot was early American authors but many other things. 20 books over summertime break before class started. She thought the sun rose over his ass or something.

On pita breads, give it a shot! Here's 2 recipes more inline with your style baking.

Title: Easy Pita Bread
Categories: Breads
Yield: 16 Pockets

2 c Warm water
1 ts Sugar
1 pk Dry yeast (or 1 tb)
5 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Vegetable oil
2 ts Salt

In mixing bowl, combine water and sugar; sprinkle yeast and let stand
for 10 minutes or until dissolved and creamy. Using electric mixer,
beat in 2 c. of the flour, oil and salt; beat for about 3 minutes or
until smooth, scraping down side of bowl from time to time. With
wooden spoon, beat in enough of the remaining flour to make stiff
dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead for about 10
minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in lightly greased
bowl, turning to grease all over. Cover with plastic wrap and let
rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk. Divide dough into
16 or 32 pieces. On lightly floured surface, roll each piece into 7"
or 4" rounds. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes or until slightly

degree oven (240 C). Using floured metal spatula, quickly transfer 2
or 3 pita rounds to heated baking sheet; bake for 3 or 4 minutes or
until puffed and light golden around edges. Repeat with remaining
pita rounds. Let cool between damp tea towels. Pitas will collapse
and soften slightly, but pocket will remain. (Alternatively, if crisp
pitas are desired, let cool on racks) Pitas can be stored in plastic
bags in freezer for up to 1 month. Makes 16 7" pitas or 32 4" pitas.

I don'r watch the boob tube (as I've said many times) so reading is
my form of infotainment. The last physical book I bought was a copy
of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" a non-fiction tome.

Sounds interesting. I'll source my books any and every where, for
hard copy I try to get from thrift shops, ReStore, and so on.

I'm more likely to send books to the "op shop" than to buy from them.
My shelves are full - plus.

Did I tell you about Book Bub? I get at least on email a day listing
"free and reduced price" offerings. Here's the link:

I do get their e-mails; IIRC, you mentioned it when I got the Nook back
in 2012. I usually peruse the list for what may look interesting enough
to check into further before making a decision.

I thought I had. Got an updated "categories" listing from them a few
days ago. But, I'm sticking with my current mix of cozy mysteries,
crime fiction (detective stories), historical fiction, history, and
cooking is what I'm sticking with.

I read the brief description in the e-mail and, if interested, click
the link and check out the fuller description on the web page. I
remember plots and story lines better than titles - so sometimes
I'll click on a book that sounds like it's up my street on to be
informed that I already own it when I get to the Amazon page. Bv)=

I've not encountered an "oh, I already own it" experience yet. (G)

usually get an OK. (G)

I sometimes get recipes is some of my "cozy mysteries" which are/can be intriguing. Those I will pound in to my Meal Monster software. But I've
also got on-line feeds from Taste of Home, New York Times, Cookpad (UK), Woolworth's TASTE (Australia) and Copycat Recipes (Stephanie Manley)

He does/did great historical novels and since his day job was as a script writer in Hollywood - many of his yarns have been made into movies and babble-box shows. Some great like King Rat and Shogun and some eminently forgettable like Tai Pan which was adapted by someone not Clavell. They

You were right, i liked Clan of the Cavebear quite a bit. Interesting that it was pretty high up on the banned books list in the 90's. I loved the themes of survival in the outdoors and shamanism. Ayla makes a good hero. Now i have a new genre of book to seek out: Prehistoric Fiction.

Was it the shamanism that got it on the list?

If one has to add sauce to make it interesting/edible it probably isn't

I'll caramelize the BBQ sauce routinely. If doing it in a smoker (which
I don't have any longer) I'll serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

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

Title: Mustard Chicken
Categories: Oriental, Poultry, Vegetables, Rice, Citrus
Yield: 6 Servings

1 lb Chicken in bite-size pieces
1/2 ts Salt; opt
1/4 ts Black pepper
2 ts Softened butter or oil
1 c Onion; chopped
1 cl Garlic; minced
1 1/4 c Chicken broth
2 tb Mild honey
2 tb Lemon juice
1/4 ts Salt; to taste (opt)
1 1/2 c Cauliflower florets
1 lg Carrot; scraped, thin sliced
1/4 c Water
1 tb Cornstarch
2 tb Dijon-style mustard
1 1/4 c Long-grain white rice; raw

Cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with
1/2 ts salt, if desired, and pepper. In large nonstick,
spray-coated skillet, cook chicken pieces over medium
heat, turning frequently with large wooden or plastic
spoon, 7-10 minutes or until they begin to brown and
are cooked through. Remove and set aside in medium bowl.

In same skillet, combine butter, onion, garlic, and 3
tb broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently,
6-7 minutes or until onion is tender. If liquid begins
to evaporate, add a bit more broth.

Add honey and lemon juice to pan with onions, and stir
to combine well. Stir in remaining chicken broth and
salt, if desired. Stir in reserved chicken, cauliflower,
and carrot. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and
simmer 20 minutes or until flavors are blended. *

Meanwhile, cook rice according to package directions.

Combine water and cornstarch. Stir into simmering sauce
and cook, stirring, until thickened. Stir in mustard.
Simmer an additional 1 or 2 minutes. Arrange rice on
large serving platter. Top with chicken and sauce.
Or serve individual portions over rice.

Judi's Notes: I have not tried this dish but cooking
cauliflower for 20 minutes is just too long. I would
advise 10 minutes tops to keep it's bright color and
not become mushy.

* UDD's note: I steam the cauliflower and carrot in my
rice steamer before steaming the rice. Hold the veggies
aside to add back into the mix with the chicken just
long enough to let the flavours marry.

Also noted: a wok will work well in place of the non-
stick skillet. This is an oriental dish, after all.

That's the way I was thinking when I first started with the echo but
got to the point where I was saving a lot more than I was making. Did incorporate some things I'd read about into our way of eating, use of balsamic vinegar for one.

If nothing else it's a good research tool. I have to search the
database before banging a newly interesting recipe into MM format lest
I wind up with dupes.

That probably takes some time. (G)

I'm not a huge fan of ketchup - not even on my French fries. I'm more likely to use mayo or tartar sauce if I use anything ... which is not
very often.

I don't put ketchup on fries either, prefer them plain. Hamburger (hold the cheese) will get tomato (or ketchup), sometimes onion and or
lettuce, pickle (or pickle relish). But, like Michael, I like most
meats unsauced.

If one has to add sauce to make it interesting/edible it probably
isn't very tasty to begin with. Although if doing "BBQ" chicken on the grill
I'll caramelize the BBQ sauce routinely. If doing it in a smoker
(which I don't have any longer) I'll serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

We like what's called the Cornell recipe marinade, salad oil, egg,
vinegar, salt (some people add pepper) and poultry seasoning. Marinade,
then grill. A restaurant in central NY has become regionally famous specialising in chicken done this way. Recently talked with somebody
from the Albany area; he said his family used to go there quite often
(probably an hour or so's drive away).

The Shogun series has 6 books--Shogun,Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, King Rat, Noble House and Whirlwind. I've read/own them all, didn't really care for
King Rat but some of the characters showed up in Noble House. Never did watch the series.

They're all connected. King Rat is semi-autobiographical as Clavell
was a P.O.W. in WWII.

I know they're connected but just didn't care for King Rat as much. Whirlwind was quite interesting, whole different setting than Asia.

Sadly, there won't be any more as Clavell felloff his twig in 1994.

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

Title: Buttermilk Fried Chicken
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Dairy, Chilies, Herbs
Yield: 4 servings

MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
2 c Buttermilk or plain yogurt
- thinned with a little milk
1 lg Onion; sliced
1/4 c Mixed fresh herbs; chopped
1/2 ts Paprika
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
3 lb Chicken thighs & drumsticks,
- bone-in, skin-on

MMMMM---------------------TO FRY THE CHICKEN--------------------------
2 c Cooking oil
2 c A-P flour
1/2 ts Garlic salt
1/2 ts Onion salt
1 ts Cayenne pepper
Salt & fresh ground pepper

MARINATE THE CHICKEN IN BUTTERMILK MIXTURE: Combine the
buttermilk, sliced onion, herbs, paprika, and cayenne in
a large bowl. Place the chicken pieces in the buttermilk
mixture and coat completely. Cover and marinate
overnight (at least 8 hours).

DRAIN THE CHICKEN: Place chicken pieces in a colander
and drain the excess buttermilk mixture.

COAT THE CHICKEN PIECES WITH FLOUR: In a large sturdy
paper or plastic bag, mix flour with garlic salt, onion
salt, cayenne, salt and pepper. Place chicken pieces
into bag with flour mixture and shake until thoroughly
coated.

HEAT THE OIL IN THICK-BOTTOMED PAN: Heat 2 cups of oil
in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron, stainless
steel, or anodized aluminum-something that can take the
heat) on medium high heat until a pinch of flour starts
to sizzle when dropped in the hot oil (but not so hot
that the pan is smoking), about 350oF/175oC. Remember
when working with hot oil, always have a pan lid close
by.

FRY THE CHICKEN: Working in batches, add the chicken
pieces to the hot oil in the pan and fry on one side for
10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown, and then use metal
tongs to turn the pieces over and fry for another 10 to
12 minutes, until golden brown. Cook about 5 pieces at a
time, making sure not to crowd the pan. Repeat until all
the pieces are cooked.

Be careful to keep the oil hot enough to cook the
chicken thoroughly, but not so high that it burns the
batter.

PLACE CHICKEN ON RACK TO DRAIN EXCESS OIL: Use tongs to
remove chicken from pan. Place on a rack over a cookie
sheet or broiling pan for the excess oil to drain. Add
more salt and pepper to taste. Let cool about 10 to 15
minutes before serving.

2 ts Kosher salt
1/2 ts Fresh ground black pepper
Cayenne pepper
1/4 c Scallions; fine sliced,
- garnish
1/4 c Cilantro leaves; chopped,

Recipe Courtesy: Guy Fieri

PREPARE MOLE NEGRO: In a large saute pan over medium heat,
toast the chilies on both sides until they soften and
become fragrant, for 20 to 30 seconds, being careful not
to scorch them.

Add 1 cup of hot water just to cover and set aside to
reconstitute for 30 minutes.

Add the chilies and soaking water, toasted sesame seeds,
almonds, raisins, onion, garlic, cinnamon, oregano,
cloves, piloncillo Mexican cane sugar and 1/2 cup of
chicken broth to a blender or food processor. Puree the
ingredients until very smooth adding a little more broth,
if too thick.

COOK THE MOLE NEGRO: In a 6 quart Dutch oven over
medium-high heat, add the lard and pureed mole mixture,
and cook, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid
has evaporated and it becomes shiny, for 6 to 8 minutes.

Add the remaining broth and chocolate. Bring to a boil
for about 5 minutes then reduce to a simmer, uncovered,
until it is a thick consistency, for about 15 minutes.
Season with salt, to taste. Remove from heat, cover and
keep warm.

Preheat the oven to 350ºF/175ºC. Preheat grill to high.

PREPARE THE CHICKEN: In a small bowl, add the ancho,
chipotle, cumin, garlic, salt, pepper and cayenne. Mix
well to combine and set aside.

Season the chicken pieces all over with spice mixture and
set aside to briefly marinate while you set up grill.

Set grill to high and wipe down grates with an oil blotted
paper towel to clean and create a non-stick surface.

Place chicken pieces on grill skin side down first to
char. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes (moving the chicken if you
have any flare ups) on the first side then turn and cook
on the second side for another 3 to 4 minutes.

Once chicken is marked off well, transfer to a roasting
tray and finish cooking in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

TO SERVE, ladle the mole sauce on the bottom of a large
platter and arrange chicken pieces on the top so the
chicken skin stays nice and crispy. Garnish with scallions
and cilantro. Serve with extra mole sauce on the side.

Yield: serves 4 to 6

Title: Air Fryer Fried Chicken
Categories: Poultry, Dairy, Herbs
Yield: 5 servings

MMMMM--------------------------CHICKEN-------------------------------
4 lb Drumsticks or leg quarters;
- split
1 ts Kosher salt
1 ts Ground black pepper
2 c Buttermilk

MMMMM--------------------------COATING-------------------------------
2 c A-P flour
1 tb Lawry's season salt
1 ts Kosher salt
1 ts Ground black pepper
1 tb Garlic powder
1 tb Paprika
Spray olive oil for cooking

MARINATE THE CHICKEN: Season the chicken well with salt
and pepper and then add it to a bowl with buttermilk.
Chicken pieces should be covered with the buttermilk.
Let it sit for at least an hour or up to overnight.

BREAD THE CHICKEN: To prepare the breading mixture, stir
together flour, seasoned salt, salt, pepper, garlic
powder, and paprika.

Remove chicken pieces from buttermilk and shake off any
excess; then dip in the flour mix and coat well.
Transfer breaded chicken pieces to a clean plate or wire
rack to rest.

AIR-FRY THE CHICKEN: You will need to work in two
batches if you are doing a full chicken. Spray the
basket of your air fryer with nonstick spray. Place half
of the pieces in the basket of your air fryer. Try to
ensure the pieces don’t touch. Air needs to circulate
around them.

Spray the chicken pieces lightly with spray oil. Place
the basket in the air fryer and turn the air fryer to
350ºFF/175ºC. Cook for 14 minutes, then flip the fried
chicken with tongs, spray lightly with oil a second time
on the bottom side of the chicken, and cook for another
10 to 12 minutes, until chicken reaches 175ºF/80ºC.

SIMPLE TIP! During the air frying process, if you pull
out the chicken and notice any dry flour spots on the
chicken, spray those spots lightly with oil. The
breading will never crisp up if it doesn’t have a tiny
bit of oil to hydrate it. It will just burn.

SERVE: When the fried chicken is ready, let it rest on a
plate for a few minutes before serving. Serve
immediately with salad, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or
your favorite fried chicken sides!

Cooked fried chicken can be stored in the fridge for 5
days and reheated in a 300ºF/150ºC oven for 8 to 10
minutes.

I would do likewise - if I had the counter space. My toaster oven is
also a convection oven (air fryer). I may toss my house-mates collection
of plastic food containers - or at least condense it down to a reasonable
size. He's badly infected with packrat-itis.

Then I'd have a spot for the toaster oven.

copy of this to someone I don't know....

I've got commodore hardware in storage, but I don't want
to use vintage equipment that hasn't been serviced in 40 years
because again... This is the only copy of the floppy.

Hi Dave,

Michener did great, if exhaustive, travelogues.

He'd concentrate on one place, from prehistory up to the time he was
there researching it.

I especially like Hawaii, Chesapeake, and Iberia. Ad he wrote "The
Bridges at Toko Ri" which was made into a pretty good movie.

A Reader's Digest condensation of Hawaii got me intrigued, Centennial
got me hooked. (G)

True; some of my "savings" are on the old 5" floppies; I started with
the echo when we had the C-64. Don't know if Steve still has them or we tossed them out with one of our moves after we went with PCs.

I still have a Commode Door 64 w/floppy. My 1702 moitor is at the
fixit shop. I've been going through my floppies and e-mailing anything
I want to save to myself on the "big" confuser. That way i can have it
on hard disk or USB drive.

TBH, I've got a huge enough collection of recipies that I don't really care if these are salvageable or not. Some, maybe but not the vast majority.

Aw, jeez. I had a senior moment there. I can't locate my old 300 baud modem for the 64. And I no longer have an Am,iga or Windoze box that
can be used to read *any* floppy discs.

And I realised that we don't have a disc drive any more.

We had a Brook's Drive In (no relation I'm sure) in the town where I
was born. We used to go there about once a week and eat in the car -
they actually had car-hops back then. Even as a 6 y-o I could put
away an order of fries, burger and MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

I could do a regular burger, small fries, small drink at McD's when
they first came to our area. Whole thing cost me 45 cents. (G) I still don't eat more than that but usually sub out chicken for the beef and salad for the fries. Cost is a lot more tho.

I remember those days well. When Mickey's D's came here burgers were
8c, w/cheese - 10c. Fries were 5c and a milkshake 15c. And the minimum wage back then was 90c/hr.

My basic rates for babysitting were 75c/hour, $1./hour after midnight.

Title: Buttermilk Fried Chicken
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Dairy, Chilies, Herbs
Yield: 4 servings

That looks good but the way we do it keeps the kitchen cleaner and
cooler. (G)

My stove is well enough insulated that usig the oven does not heat the house substantially. Although when my furnase quit last winter setting
the thermostat to 350ºF and leaving the door of the oven ajar while
the fan on the air handler was set to "RUN" kept it liveable if not toasty.

Ours is fairly well insulated and we have central a/c but the kitchen
does get on the warm side. We use the toaster oven for small bake jobs, like the chicken casserole I made last night or the raspberry scones
Steve made earlier in the week (from a mix).

Easier just to buy a bag of sweet potato fries. That's what we do as I'm
not especially fond of sweet potatoes. My mom's mom used to do the
candied, with marshmallows every year for Thanksgiving and every year my parents made us take some. It was always the consistancy of baby food
and overly sweet; to this day I don't know if any of my siblings can
look at a sweet potato civilly. I can look at it, bake it, serve it, but
not eat it.

I was looking for a "Joy of Cooking" recipe in my Meal Monster and this
popp[ed up. Since I know you are also a fan of Jeopardy ...

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

Title: Jeopardy! Borscht
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Soups
Yield: 8 Servings

4 lg Beets; peeled, chopped
4 lg Carrots; peeled, chopped
1 lg Yellow onion; peeled,
- chopped
1 Beef soup bone
10 c Beef stock
1 lg White potato; peeled,
- chopped (opt)

Last year our terrific pal Tommy (who was such a delight
to hang out with this Christmas, btw) brought his nice
friend Ethan over for dinner and Catchphrase; we ate
this soup and Ethan went on to be a guest on Jeopardy!.

Peel and chop beets, carrots and onion; simmer in a rich
beef stock. Also throw in the pot some type of flavorful
soup-bone if you want. A cross-cut bone-in beef shank
slice would be ideal, but one time I used pigs feet,
which is completely non-traditional but lends a nice
thick heartiness to the soup which otherwise is thinner
and brothy.

One thing to do alternatively is start the soup by
sauteeing the chopped onion in the pot until it is
transparent, then add half or more of the broth and
the bone and simmer for awhile, THEN add the beets and,
about twenty minutes later, the carrots.

The beets will take at least a half an hour or so to
become tender, so allow time for them to get mostly
there before you add the carrots (and a potato if you
want to), then let it go another 5 minutes or so and
add 1-2 cups of chopped cabbage. Let all the veggies
cook until tender.

Periodically scrape off gross scum that collects on the
surface of the soup from having the bone in there (you
should start this early, but only have to do it a couple
of times).

Add: salt and pepper to taste; red-wine or another
vinegar to taste which I recommend as 3 tablespoons
or more depending how tangy you like it and I like it
quite tangy (but remember, you can always add more later,
or people can add splashes to individual servings, too).
Now is also the time to add fresh dill if you like fresh
dill. Russians like a lot of fresh dill on everything
and keep a large bunch of it in foil in the the freezer
for such occasions.

Serve hot with big dollops of sour cream or cold with
big dollops of yogurt and garnish with dill! Or mix and
match!

Or compare to a real recipe from an online resource!
Makes good eatin'! Take out the bone before serving!
Nice with pancakes, black bread or piroshki! Okay let
me know how it goes!

P.S. A few more things I would like to say about this
soup before you ream me about it:

1a. There are MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF BORSCH.

1b. From what I understand traditional Russian borshch
is spelled with no "t" and is really more like meat soup
that happens to have a few beets thrown in. Some recipes
call for mushrooms, garlic, navy beans and many other
ingredients not included in Jeopardy! Borscht.

2. This "recipe" has its roots in The Joy of Cooking,
I didn't just totally make it up.

3. I believe the spelling with a "t" comes from Germany,
or from second-generation German-Americans who passed
recipes to Irma Rombauer early last century. Please
comment if you happen to know about the etymology of
"borscht."

4. PLEASE comment if this soup gets you on Jeopardy!.

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

I've got some take out stuff that gets recycled into home use--for a
bit as it's a convenient size. Had to take a meal to a couple in need
of a few months ago; one of them worked well for a small meat loaf with carrots and potatoes on the side. The couple was able to toss it, not
be concerned with getting a dish back to us.

I do use some of his containers to parcel out chilli for others to
take with. Or to take something with me to work. Where the container bravely jumps into the bin when it's empty. Bv)=

We use them for give away also.

Great minds think alike. Bv)=

I'm shopping for a self-defrosting upright freezer. And checking my budget. Bv)= Best Buy has a nice 13 cu ft for about $450. Time to
get out the tape measure and do some measuring. Bv)=

Sounds good. We got ours on sale; it had a (small) dent in it and
Lowe's marked it down, also gave us the military discount.

Just checked with B.B. yesterday and they had an "open box" going for U$360 delivered. It will be here Tuesday.

Sounds like a winner to me. Just make sure there's nothing holding the
door even slightly open. A melt down is no fun to deal with. (G)

Here's another pickle recipe. This one shows the mustard seed rather
than hiding it in the spice mix.

From the Pennsylvania Dutch chapter of the United States
Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago,
1947. By Molly Paul

That would be an interesting book to get hold of now.

Check the Internet Archives. They may have something you can download.
I'm a contributing ($$$) member.

Something like that I'd rather have hard copy so I can curl up with it
in my chair.

I'll bet you'd like this one: "THE UNITED STATES REGIONAL COOK BOOK
(10 Cook Books in 1: New England, Southern, Pennsylvania Dutch,
Creole,
Michigan Dutch, Mississippi Valley, Wisconsin Dutch, Minnesota Scandinavian, Southwestern, Western, plus Cosmopolitan America)
Hardcover – January 1, 1947"

https://www.amazon.com/UNITED-STATES-REGIONAL-COOK-Books/dp/B000BRPEOO

That sounds good but Steve would probably make me get rid of some other
cook books if I went out and bought the set. I do need to sort thru
them, once I can easily access them.

My grandmother made a lot of these - my job was to horse the
stoneware crock over to the floor drain and discard the previous day's brine. Then wrestle to crock back into it's home.

Grandmother was smart to take advantage of youn muscles. (G)

We all had our "chores". If you don't work then you don't eat. Or so
they threatened. I never tested that, though.

Not worth testing.

I'm not fond of sweet potatoes either. I've been somewhat set on never making >them. Too sweet by far for me.

I don't much care for them, either, at least not the way we Americans make them. I have had sweet potatoes in an Indian dish or two and they are not
bad the way they prepare them... they don't really seem too sweet at all.

Hi Carol,

I'm not fond of sweet potatoes either. I've been somewhat set on
never making them. Too sweet by far for me.

Same here, but I will bake one now and then for Steve, as long as
there's an Irish (white) potato to bake for myself.

How's your breadmaking going these days? I've gotten better and
better at it.

I've not done too much of it lately, need to clear away some of the
stuff that's accumulated in the corner of the counter where I keep my
mixer. Thought we had a lot more stowage in this kitchen than the rental
house, but really don't, so odds and ends that have no other place wind
up there, until I find a nook or cranny for them. Maybe try now, so that
when the weather cools off/drys out, I'll be able to access the mixer
easier.

Debby took a turn to the west so we're getting the dirty (as one

(since midnight) about 3.5" of rain, flash flood warnings for several
days but rain is supposed to end tomorrow afternoon. We're watching
closly as we don't have the camper right now.

Sweet potatoes, I find, are not as sweet (without addtions in cooking) as carrots. Carrots have a *lot* of sugar. Bv)=

Back 20 years ago or so, a co-worker was trying to get me involved in the juicing craze. He may have been selling juicers as part of some scheme, I don't recall. I did watch a video or two about it and the pitchman
mentioned using either carrots or apples in your juice recipes in order to
add sweetness.
