Hi Dave,

RH>  DD> According to Jorge Patino (another Mexican-heritage friend)

RH> So maybe if you had it cooked according to the proper Mexican way,
RH> you might like it? Doubt it, but worth a try, but I suspect you

 DD> Ah, but I will - even if it's only to prove to myself that I have

I've not had corn nuts in years! Once we found out Steve has a problem
with corn, we stopped buying a lot of things with corn in them. Not that
we ever bought a lot of corn nuts but did do so occaisionally.


RH>  DD> I hereby bequeath whatever grits allocated to me that I don't
RH>  DD> use as wallboard spackle.   Bv)=

RH> OK, I'll take them, as well as all the okra you feel like tossing my
RH> way. In exchange, I'll send you all the coffee and coconut I don't
RH> consume, saving the peanut butter and lima beans for Steve.

 DD> Dang! I was hoping for the lima beans.   Bv)=  They are one of my
 DD> favourites - from the little green baby limas to the big, tan butter
 DD> beans.

OK, I'll let you have the lima beans and I'll take back the coconut for
Steve. He's using a lot of coconut oil instead of butter now so I think
he'd like having it back. I still use butter blend (butter & oilve oil),
butter, canola oil and olive oil as my main fats for cooking.


RH>  DD> BTW - the recipe is one I have adapted and adopted. The
RH>  DD> quantity in the header is from the original recipe - but,
RH>  DD> that's a guesstimate at best. I had my best friend, Dennis, and
RH>  DD> his son Stephan over and there were no left overs.   Bv)=

RH>  DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

RH>  DD>       Title: Shrimp Gumbo
RH>  DD>  Categories: Cajun, Seafood, Vegetables, Chilies, Herbs
RH>  DD>       Yield: 6 servings

RH> Looks pretty good to me. Lowe's had shrimp from Argentina on sale
RH> last week but I'd rather have local shrimp so took a pass. Maybe
RH> next time they have a sale, it'll be NC shrimp.

 DD> Freshwater or saltwater? They do both in the Carolinas I have learned.

Salt water, I believe. Caught along the Outer Banks. I didn't look for
shrimp today, just did a quick in and out for a few things I needed.


 DD>       Title: Butter Bean Soup
 DD>  Categories: Soups, Vegetables, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 4 servings

You can have my serving, thank you very much. (G)
