Hi Dave,


 DD> I regularly stock garlic in cloves/heads, minced (in a jar), granules

 RH> I just have the heads and granules.

 DD> I've not figured out a reliable ratio between the granules and the
 DD> powder. So, I stock both. Big Spice Islands containers of the granules
 DD> and smaller McCormick's jars (w/shaker top) of the powder

I  just use the granules when a recipe calls for garlic powder. Haven't
been disappointed yet.

 DD>      8<----- WHACK ----->8

 DD> Phil tells me it's just a mental thing with him. But he can't seem to
 DD> beat it. Cous cous, orzo and rosmarina all look like rice but are
 DD> pasta and he can get them past his lips.

 RH> Would he know the difference if he were blindfolded?

 DD> Probably. The rosmarina is much bigger than a grain of rice. And the
 DD> texture is different - the pasta is softer if properly cooked al
 DD> dente.

OK, just wondering. (G)

 DD> One of the things I'm going to use the rotisserie (U$3 per) for:

 DD>       Title: Hank's Avgolemono Soup
 DD>  Categories: Soups, Poultry, Citrus, Rice, Eggs
 DD>       Yield: 7 Servings

 RH> I'm going to toss the rest of a rotisserie chicken into water and
 RH> seasonings, don't know how much will then go into soup. What I don't
 RH> make into soup will be a casserole. The latter included Pepperidge Farm
 RH> herb dressing, cream of mushroom soup and chicken stock. Original
 RH> recipe came from a friend years ago in New Bern, don't know how many
 RH> times I've made it over the years since.

 DD> Good recipes get made on repeat.

 DD> Here's one of my repeaters ...


 DD>       Title: Easy Caprese
 DD>  Categories: Pasta, Poultry, Vegetables, Chicken, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

Looks good. The new to us pizza/pasta place we tried a couple of weeks
ago has a simple but good caprese salad--just tomatoes, basil and
mozzarella, with a light Italian dressing.
