Hi Dave,


 DD> That's where I got the shrimp for the recipe in the previous post.

 RH> I know we have some on hand but I'm not quite sure what I want to do
 RH> with it yet, maybe a shrimp scampi with extra garlic.

 DD> Remember - there is no such thing as too much garlic.  Bv)=

I know, and I don't stint with it. Keeps the vampires away.


 DD> Found some skinned, boned chicken thighs which will become tonight's
 DD> supper. I'll make the can of diced tomatoes be w/chopped green
 DD> chilies. Should add just a bit of a wake-up call. And I've got it in
 DD> stock.

 RH> Sounds good to me.

 DD> 'Twas. And found some more shrimp. Time for a nice pot of file gumbo

 DD> The recipe says 6 servings. I'm feeding my brother, his wife and the
 DD> wife's oldest girl (and me). Doubt there will be any leftovers. I'll
 DD> substitute orzo for the rice because Phil has a thing asbout rice ever
 DD> since his Vietnam service.

My dad was Navy, WWII Pacific theater. My FIL was Army, Occupied
Germany/Austria post WWII. Neither of them were very fond of rice but
did eat it from time to time. Do recall one letter from my mom telling
us of one Sunday when she realised she was out of potatoes for dinner.
She and dad went to (IIRC) 4 or 5 stores in/around their small town
before they found one with potatoes. Dad would not have settled for rice
with his roast beef.
