Subj : Leftovers To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Wed Dec 18 2024 15:15:23 Hi Dave, RH> I've used Bragg's and other unfiltered cider vinegar. I keep some on RH> hand for things like salad dressing and such like, when I want to kick RH> it up a bit from the regular cider vinegar. DD> I'm not a fan of vinegar bsased slad dressing. Much prefer my salads DD> and/or cole slaw with a creamy sauce as a dressing. I prefer 1,000 Islands but Steve's mom has always done a home made Italian-ish--just oil, vinegar and seasonings. I've done it myself quite a bit because it is Steve's favorite. Just pour everything on the salad (guess-timate amounts) and mix. RH> of Tammy Duckworth when we were in HI; she had some connection to the RH> state and used the first name Lada. Don't remember details tho. DD> I think she may have been born in Hawaii. She certainly is a champion DD> for Vets causes. And she abhors Cadet Bone Spurs. RH> She does have a lot going for her. Good to see that the vets have a RH> voice from somebody who served on active duty on their side. DD> And it only cost her both legs and partial use of the right arm. She DD> doest not suffer fools gladly. And has no use for draft dodgers. RH> And was the first senator to bring her baby on the floor with her so RH> she could nurse. DD> Which isn't too surprising considering that not many senators are DD> ladies and few of those of child-baring years. Time was, the government had no ladies in it. Glad that has changed but I'm not a fan of a number of women now serving. DD> My store is having a Christmas Party on 16 December. I'll be taking DD> this as my "covered dish": RH> Looks like it should fill a few bellies. (G) DD> There will, no doubt be lots of other stuff as well. RH> Not surprising. It's always interesting to see the assortment at a pot RH> luck. Our Legion post and Auxiliary always do a pot luck in late RH> January or early February--too much going on in December so it's nice RH> to have a joint dinner when things have calmed down a bit. There's a RH> group of vets over at the post today watching the Army-Navy game but we RH> took a pass on that gathering. DD> For breakfast on the 25th I'm sponsoring any of my family/extended DD> family to the Interfaith Breakfast held annually at Temple B'rith DD> Sholom. Then off to brother's with the roast. Bv)= DD> I'll miss the green chile that my recently deceased friend Les used to DD> provie to put over the scrambled eggs. RH> Did he leave the recipe with his widow? DD> Dunno. But. I have it in my database. It's a pretty standard Verde DD> that used ground poultry instead of the ore usual pork - which ain't DD> no way "Kosher" and the event is at a Jewsh facility. RH> So make up a batch, bring it and label it "in memory of Les". DD> Won't have to. Les' kid brother Larry will be in town taking care of DD> some things for the estate. And he'll be making the Verde. And he is DD> the ICS World Champion this year in Verde. OK, so it is covered. Good. DD> I had something very much like this in my first experience with chile DD> verde. I was in Inglewood, Californa at a Mexican sit-down restaurant. DD> My mind told me that rojo meant red and indicated "hot". While verde DD> was green and should be mild. Hoooo Boy! was I wrong!!!! Lit me up. Steve and I went to a little place in Las Cruces,NM, once on our way back to AZ from a trip to El Paso. I ordered something green, thinking it would be mild; Steve ordered something red, thinking it to be on the warm side. Somebody mixed up the heat level--mine was hot but Steve's was mild. They were both good tho. (G) --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 .... Are you sure you really want to know that? --- PPoint 3.01 * Origin: Sew!
