Possibly so, and other spices added to keep with the sort of southwest

None of these things would bother me - I can go
a month without pork stroganoff, but what do you
think the kibbutzim did with the flayed carcasses
after they made the pigskin things.

Fried pork rinds? (G)

That would be literally eating the profits.

Nup. And if one took away the zucchini, it
wouldn't be calabaza any more.

Either way, probably something neither of us will encounter in a
reasonable lifetime unless we decide to live south of the border.

Hard to tell, but I'd be actively avoidant,

Zucchini Stroganoff

Grilled veggies with a garlic, salt & pepper garnish. No where near stroganoff in my book.

Nowhere near food in mine!

Cookie's Chili Powder
categories: spice
yield: 1 batch

1 Tb cayenne pepper
5 Tb cumin powder
1 Tb oregano
2 Tb basil
1 Tb salt
1 Tb garlic powder

Mix all well. Keep in glass container with seal.

Hi Michael,

are tempting enough.

Sorry, meant to say cans, not paper. I'm not firing on all cylinders
right now. We've not had many dealings with mice, thankfully, over the
years and places we've lived, so I'm just going on thoughts, not
experience.

Quite possibly so.

Pluto will return, mark my words.

My mom was in early grade school when it was named a planet so she tells
on herself--teacher asked the class what Pluto was. Mom piped up "Mickey Mouse's dog".

which was the polite term when we were growing up,

Except for the organisation United Negro College Fund. But yes, in the
last 50 or so years, that term has been very much oblitereated from the American vocabulary.

The drones/worker bees are too busy doing their own thing to be too
concerned with the correct terminology.

Yes, but it would be interesting to see if the meat is offered in other flavorings. I might, for instance, want an Italian flavored meat pouch,
to use instead of southwestern.

I have some in the fridge right now. Steve doesn't care for it but it's
an alternative higher protein/lower carb easy grab for me.

Depends on how it's prepared--as a in a quick bread/muffin, its presence
isn't that obvious. As a pasta sub, it's all over the place, but a good
sauce will make it edible. One bbq place in town hat we liked would
slice it, drege it in a seasoned flour (spicy) and fry it--good stuff.

Cookie's Chili Powder
categories: spice
yield: 1 batch

1 Tb cayenne pepper
5 Tb cumin powder
1 Tb oregano
2 Tb basil
1 Tb salt

I'd probably mix up a smaller amount to try, then do a larger quantity.
