Hi Dave,

 RH> can be subbed for it so I don't have to buy lots of it. (G) Steve used
 RH> a splash of white wine in the scallops done scampi style (no real
 RH> recipe) the other night but it was unnoticeable as such. He also used
 RH> about 15 cloves of garlic--kept the vampires away but good.

 SD> Wine, to me, tastes like rotten grape juice and I have never used it
 SD> for anything.  Garlic is great.  Can't get enough of it.

 RH> So far we've not come across any that give us that reaction/taste. We
 RH> just started using it within probably the last 5 years or so, and not
 RH> that much at any time.

 DD> Grape juice is far sweeter (even the "no sugar added") than even the
 DD> sweetest of wines. If I am buying wine to sip I prefer a "dry" red
 DD> like a Merlot or Chianti.

For years I bought orange juice concentrate, added water and had OJ in
the morning. Occaisionally I'd buy apple or grape juice concentrate, do
the same thing. Grape juice is definatly sweet; I liked it as a change
up from OJ but wouldn't want it every morning. Reason I stopped with
those juices in the morning was the diabetes diagnosis, dietician told
me no more morning juice. Things stabilised, got off insulin and have an
occaisional glass of juice in the morning, usually when travelling. It's
usually orange juice, grape juice is now only when we do Lord's Supper
at church. Side note to all that--when I was growing up, my mom would
(rarely) buy grape juuice for our breakfasts. We'd have to drink it
right away, then she would scoop up the glasses (plastic) and wash them
right away because she was paranoid about grape juice stains.

 SD>       Title: Cactus Pear Breakfast Shake SD>  Categories:
 Beverages, Fruits, Breakfast SD>       Yield: 2 Servings

 RH> OK,  prickly pear fruuit, AKA tunas. When we were in AZ, one of our
 RH> neighbors had a nice prickly pear patch in the side yard. One fall
 RH> Steve picked some (using bbq tongs) and made jelly from the juice. I
 RH> don't remember the taste but the color was a nice rich ruby red.

 DD> No actual cacti were harmed in the m aking of this recipe:


 DD>       Title: Cactus Chicken-Fried Steak
 DD>  Categories: Beef, Dairy, Chilies, Poultry
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servings

So, why name it cactus CFS? (G) I'd definatly modifly this if I were to
make it--cut way down on the salt for sure. Also, NM chili powder?
Possibly ancho chilis?
