I find that I have little need to be terrorised by stuff on a screen. There is
quite enough of that going on in real life. As for hiking ... why? Unless one
*needs* to be somewhere that is accessible only by foot I can see no reason to
ignore the devices that Henry popularised.  Bv)=

Is Yoo Hoo doing the scariest thing because we are now into October and they
are revving things up to take advantage of the All Hallow's Eve festivities? Or
do they just want to drop you into the soup? So to speak.

  * Use two cans of chicken broth w/a little water or 1 paper

  Heat the Avocado oil or two tablespoons of the olive oil in
  a saucepan and add chopped onion. Saute for 5 minutes and
  add garlic, ginger and 2 of the peppers. Saute for another 5
  minutes. Add the stock, simmer for 10 minutes and remove
  from heat. While the stock and vegetables are simmering, cut
  the Avocados in half and seed and peel them. Chop the
  Avocados, toss them with the juice of 1 lime and place about
  half the Avocado in a blender container. Add hot stock and
  vegetables until container is about 3/4 full and process
  until the mixture is smooth and liquid. Chill the soup
  thoroughly, preferably for several hours.

  To make the cilantro cream, stir the sour cream and
  half-and-half together, add the chopped cilantro, the
  remaining chili pepper, the ground coriander and salt to
  taste. Chill until you are ready to use it. Cut the radishes
  in small julienne and toss with the walnut oil or the
  remaining olive oil, the juice of 1/2 lime and salt to
  taste. Chill until you are ready to use them.

  Taste the chilled soup and add salt and more lime juice to
  taste. Ladle it into chilled soup bowls. Top each serving
  with a tablespoon of cilantro cream and a tablespoon of
  julienned radishes.
 
  Variation: This soup is also delicious when served hot and
  is an ideal opening to a hearty Mexican meal.
