Hi Dave,


 RH> For years I bought orange juice concentrate, added water and had OJ in
 RH> the morning. Occaisionally I'd buy apple or grape juice concentrate, do
 RH> the same thing. Grape juice is definatly sweet; I liked it as a change
 RH> up from OJ but wouldn't want it every morning. Reason I stopped with
 RH> those juices in the morning was the diabetes diagnosis, dietician told

 DD> My go-to juice is tomato. Sevond place is grapefruit. Both w/no sugar
 DD> added. I also have started doing cranberry juice (not the "cocktail")

I tried V-8 (or knock offs) for a while, favorite was Whole Foods
version. But even that didn't sit right as a morning drink so I gave it
up and now usually have just a mug of tea (British Blend by Tetley) as
my morning drink, sweetened with a packet of stevia.


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

 RH> OK,  prickly pear fruit, 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

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

 DD> I didn't name it so I've no clew. The following recipe should answer
 DD> your quibble about "NM chili powder?"


 DD>       Title: Green Chilies Rellenos (Stuffed Green Chilies)
 DD>  Categories: Latino, Vegetables, Chilies, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 5 Servings

 DD>      10 lg Green chilies; NuMex, Big
 DD>            - Jim or Anaheim, roasted,

They do grow a lot of Anaheims out there. (G) Back in 2006 we drove
cross country from LA (landed there from Honolulu) up to LVNV, then down
to AZ and across. Routed thru Hatch, NM about a week after their big
fall chili fest; the aroma of roasted chilis was still in the air.
