Hi Dave,


 DD> OY! Vey ist mir! I just looked at the pricing at Robert's (4th
 DD> generation family-owned). Over U$30/lb. Fortunately that recipe will
 DD> work well with Krab (surimi) @ U$6.99/lb.  Bv)=

 RH> The real thing is expensive even here, closer to the coast. But it's
 RH> worth it for some things, as a splurge.

 DD> My throat has a mind of its own. Yesterday my Sunday breakfast bunch
 DD> went to Hy-Vee for the Easter Brunch. U$19.99 (plus tax). Les and I
 DD> balked at paying that for breakfast. Helen agreed. So we headed for
 DD> the near-by Charlie Parker's Diner .... which proved to be closed for
 DD> the holiday (along with several other favourites we knew to close on
 DD> holidays. Helen suggested "The truck stop is *always* open. It was jam
 DD> packed but service and food  was good and quick.

We went to a local Mexican restaurant on the invitation of one of the
young men in our church. Another one joined up, had a good meal and good
conversation as well--no crowds either. Steve had the pollo crema
(chicken in a chipotle cream sauce; I had the 3 enchiladas (cheese, beef
and chicken) with a green mole sauce--brought the chicken one home and
just enjoyed it for lunch.

 DD> You'll probably want to leave off/substitute the corn in this
 recipe. DD> But, it does look good.

 DD>       Title: Crab Chowder
 DD>  Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Potatoes, Herbs, Dairy
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servings

 RH> It does look good, even without the corn. We tried a new to us
 RH> Guatamalan restaurant last night. Split a mixed grill of chicken, beef
 RH> and pork with sides of black bean, salad and rice with potatoes. Have
 RH> to remember next time to have them hold the cilantro. We both finished
 RH> the salad and beans, had about half the meat (brought the other half
 RH> home) and I also brought some rice home. The meat came with a couple of
 RH> young onions, grilled Roma tomatoes and a big (!) jalapeno
 RH> pepper--Steve thought it was a young zuchinni at first from the size of
 RH> it. When we go back, I'm going to try the elote drink.

 DD> You'll not be able to share with Steve.


 DD>       Title: Atol de Elote (Sweet Corn & Milk Drink)
 DD>  Categories: Five, Vegetables, Dairy, Beverages
 DD>       Yield: 7 servings

Thanks, it looks similar to hortchata but subbing corn for the rice.
