Mischaracterized as spyware? Funny, everytime I ran adaware, the one thing that it picked up fragments of all over my system was Comet Cutsor.

Thanks for all the tips from Hell...I can use them in setting up the new machine.

I cannot ketchup after three weeks of downtime, so I'll just say, "Hi, and great to see you guys, again."

Cheers, everyone.

Mmmmmmm! Looks deeeelicious. We're having salmon tonight, though. Welcome back, FRiend.

[restornu]

There are a lot of us who are happy you are around!

I was trying to find a recipe on Menudo the Salvation for the hung over! (Even if I don't drink!)

I now I know what Tripe is that white stuff that look like fat. For over 30 years I wondered what it was. Now I know with ingriedence you can use other meat or veg.

Is it hot I like hot and spicy! I like to know the things that give body, heat, spicy! I don't like sweet!

Menudo(meh-noo-doh)Tripe and Hominy Soup

Menuedo is a soup of tripe and corn in some form, usually nixtamal made from dried corn. Canned hominy makes a good substitute.
The soup traditionally is served on Christmas or New Year's eve-or any other evening when over-celebration might cause that morning-after feeling. Some Mexican men out on the town stop at all-night cafes for a Menudo nightcap, because a bowlful is said to be good preventative medicine for hangovers.

Menudo Seasoning

makes approximately 7 cups
1 cup chili Powder

1 cup Italian seasoning

1 cup garlic granules

1 cup dried onion flakes

½ cup chopped dried orange peel

½ cup ground cumin

½ cup dry powdered mustard

½ cup dry cilantro flakes

½ cup Mexican oregano flakes

½ cup salt

½ cup sugar

¼ cup crushed cinnamon flakes *

¼ cup crushed nutmeg *

¼ cup cumin seeds


Mix all ingredients together and store in a jar with a tight lid. You probably won’t find either crushed cinnamon or nutmeg. Break cinnamon sticks up with a hammer and if they are still to large, pulse them in the blender. You can wrap whole nutmegs in a cloth and crush them with a hammer as well.

Midnight Christmas Eve Supper menu includes this dish(see Menu to follow).
5 lbs. tripe
1 large veal knuckle
4 cloves garlic
1 Tblsp. salt
2 cups of chopped onions
1 tsp. of minced cilantro(also called fresh coriander or Chinese parsley), optional
1 Tblsp. chile powder(or to taste) or 1 can(4oz.) California green chiles, seeded and chopped
1 gallon water
1 large can(1 lb. 13 oz.) whole hominy
2 Tblsp. lemon juice
2 cups chopped green onions
1 1/2 cups chopped cilantro or fresh mint (or 1 cup dry mint leaves)
Cut tripe in oblong pieces or slivers. Put in a large ot along with the veal, garlic, salt and bulb onion, cilantro, chile powder and water. Cover and simmer for about 6 hours, or until tripe is tender, adding more water if necessary.
Add hominy and heat; then add lemon juice and serve with chopped green onions and cilantro or mint. Serves 6 to 8.

Just what I wanted thank!

[westmex]

Is it hot I like hot and spicy!

I have no idea Resty...Never have tried it and it's been years since I've had a hangover....lol...

.....Westy.....

[lodwick]

What mad cow?

Nice choice with all those Omega3's going on in your salmon.

Cheers out to the coast.

[westmex]

They are threatening more snow here tonight....I did get to the drug store to pick up a prescription and the espresso joint for a caffeine fix...The roads just get icy and slick at night.....

.....Westy......

[.38sw]

It's wild salmon, not the farm raised stuff. Yum. And we're not worried 'bout no mad cow. We had skirt steak with a shallot and wine sauce last night. Also Yum.

[restornu]

I would like to know the spicy tha that give heat the ones that give body, and spicy.

Like buffalo wings or chili, salsa a lot a time it will be very hot and I like hot but if it has no body or taste and a good blend of spices.

It has to have balance and than if need be one can make it hoter!

[westmex]

I'm no cook...All I know is some Mexican food can burn a Gringo's mouth if they arn't careful...
I thought Tabasco sauce was suppose to be hot....

.....Westy.....
