Hi Michael,

 ML> As of an hour ago, it looks like Adelaide, Australia, and
 RH> Sounds like an exciting time. We never did get over to Australia while
 RH> we were in Hawaii. We'd thought about it but ended up going to AZ
 RH> several times, especially after the first grand kid arrived.

 ML> In any case it's pretty expensive (not to mention a 10 hour flight).

We've had 10 hour (and longer) flights, even within the USA. Going from
the George H W Bush International Airport in Houston to Honolulu was 10
hours. Overnight flights from USA to Germany were about that long, don't
recall how long our trip to/from Israel was. I'm thinking it was abotu
14 hours but could be mistaken. Still, a long time to be sitting on an
airplane.

 ML> in a day. This will make choice of wardrobe problematic.
 RH> Just remember, there might be some chilly nights (and possibly days)
 RH> up at the pond, tho it won't be dead of winter cold. Cold enough that
 RH> my morning cuppa tea will be nice for a warm up.

 ML> I will probably have a couple flannel shirts for the evening
 ML> and a couple short-sleeved ones for the daytime.

You will survive; we will just crank the heat up a bit for you. (G)


 ML> I think a thinnish cumin-and-cayenne-laced sauce might be
 ML> of benefit to a dryer barbecue, but if there's enough smoke
 ML> and enough fat no adulterant is necessary.
 RH> Agreed on that one! I might not go as heavy for the fat, but some is
 RH> nice to round out the flavor.

 ML> Yes - I understand that I am way off on one end of the spectrum
 ML> in the fat appreciation department.

I'm not totally off the other end, but do consume a good bit less than
you do.

 ML> a sprinkle of dry white cheese, sort of the way Italians
 ML> use Parmesan. The cheese is coarse enough so I can scrape
 ML> it off and eat around it. American Mexican seems to be
 ML> drowned in Jack or Cheddaroid or mozz. Or multiples:
 RH> The latter is more of the Tex-Mex/Taco Bell variety of Mexican than
 RH> real Mexican.

 ML> I often wondered what a real Mexican family would think of such
 ML> dishes - would they be appalled, or would they enjoy.

Demepnds, some may enjoy it, others would shudder and think "loco
Americanos. (G)


 ML>       3 c  Sharp Cheddar cheese
 ML>       3 c  Shredded mozzarella cheese
 RH> Way too much cheese there--and mozzarella?

 ML> That recipe was included because of the context.

A bit off the wall tho.


 ML> Phad See Hiew Moo
 ML> categories: pasta, Thai, Singaporean, main
 ML> servings: 1 or 2

 ML> 1 c fresh kway teow

What's this; it wasn't clarified in the instructions?
