Jo, you are right. I did look at a couple recipes after the Mennonite recipe

was posted, and they were all different, and they were in Mexican cook

books. I only took what I tasted and looked at when Marta ate it at s and

made my version of it. I liked it, and that was who I was making it for in the

first place. We all have such varied taste buds. I love hot, hot, hot, but I

can't fix it that way for my daughter, so I have to just add tons of Tabasco

later. I use Tabasco like some people use salt and pepper. I seem to think it

has to go on everything. I came home from my DS and had scrambled eggs with

Tabasco. My brother was concerned, I said, I am not going to get these things

down if I don't have something on them. It didn't cause me any problems, so

for some I know it would have probably made them think they were dying. Of

course they probably would not have handled it before surgery like I do. I love

jalapenos, but hate cilantro. My sister eats cilantro by the handful. She will

actually take a handful of it and put it in a tortilla and eat it. Grosses

me out. I love Mexican food, just leave the cilantro out. I love the shrimp

cocktails, which you got me hooked on, but again, no cilantro. Lots of avocado.

I have one brother that claims avocado is slimy, now how anyone can think

that I have no idea. I know you like it too.

I learned about the cilantro and cumin thing from Ray and mentioned

it to my sister and she acted like I was dumb for not knowing it all along. I

learned several little things from Ray. For one thing she calls a

mixture that is between a stew and a soup a stoop, which I was calling it that

way before she was even born. My kids were raised up hearing me call it that. I

thought I made up the word. I had never heard it. I wonder where she got it

from. I know I made it up for my kids benefit. My kids are all older than she

is. My baby is 41 and knows she has never known it to be called anything

else. It was not something I had heard anyone else say until one day I turned

her

show on and heard her use.I about fell out of my chair. She even described

it the way I did. I like the fact she doesn't measure exactly. I don't. I know

that each of us has to season to suit our own taste buds. Also I like soups

and stews really thick. I like to get a spoonful of something, not just

broth, so I add more than recipes call for. I have a jillion cookbooks, and

don't

use them. I just like to read them.

When is the auction and let us know how much your son went for. I am sure it

will be for a lot less than it should be. He just sounded like he would be a

fun date. I still love his song.
