Those recipes look absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a buncha!

I have tested them all on  many a backpacking trip.  They're  tasty and filling.

Emphasis on "many a backpacking trip". You lucky dog, you. (Eunomia is soooo jealous.)

Where ya going this fall?

The Native Plant Society of Texas is holding its fall symposium in Big Bend, I'm one of the speakers so I "have" to go there.  I've just about got my family talked into doing Thanksgiving in the Guadalupe Mtns.  And I'm thinking about dragging krommos out of his cave to do a Big Bend transect this winter.  Plus I was invited for a fall kayak trip on the Devil's River, which I hope I can do.  It has also been a while since I headed out to the Gila Wilderness, so that is a possibility.  I'll probably spend a little time down in Seminole Canyon.  And maybe celebrate the solistace at Chaco.  I also need to head down to Mexico to brush up on my Spanish.  Any other suggestions?

You're hilarious, smart ass. Looks like you're pretty well booked.

Spanish, on the other hand, I can help with. Are you fluent?

Actually, I'll probably add a few more locations before it gets to hot to hike around.  I can get by fairly well in Spanish, but I like the total emersion to stay that way.

Yes, total immersion is definitely the way to go. My ex is from Mascota in Jalisco.

That is the only way that I have ever been able to pick up a language.  I've never been to Mascota, isn't that near Talpa de Allende, sorta by Puerto Vallarta.  Sounds like a nice place to visit.  I usually hang out around Santa Clara in Chihuahua.  But I'm a desert rat.

I don't know where the "html" capability is today in replies,
in fact, everything is screwy with Mindsay right now.

Anyway, it's halfway between Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta.

My ex used to ride his bike to Puerto Vallarta and back for the day!

What a lunatic!

I just wanted to tell you, I love your picture. I love that movie. heheh

What movie?

goddesseunomia's picture is from the movie The Secretary. Hilarious.

Okay, somehow I missed out on that one.

Well, it's not the most famous movie in the world, but good none-the-less, in my opinion.

If you say its good, then I'll have to find it.

I'm not sure what your taste is in movies, but it's about a sadomasochistic* girl who gets a job as a secretary for a man who is also such. My sense of humor is different than most, and I'm not even sure it was meant to be a comedy, but I found it funny. My kind of movie . . . but then again, I'm also a fan of Alice In Wonderland and the Airplane movies, if that tells you anything. lol

You love DrunkenOso's picture? Or mine?

I think your's.

Yeah, smart one, (me), read on and found that the conversational thread was indeed obvious. Oopsie!

I was confused at first, as well.  That's why I asked for the clarification.

These sound fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing. When I get the stuff to make em and give em a try, I'll let you know how it turned out. You're awesome. Thanks again!

My husband on the other hand wont eat anything veggie, so looking for recipes that don't use soy by-products. Natural ingredienst are fine though.  So thanks ahead of time

What types of cuisine do ya'll like?

And what dietaty restrictions?

I'm an avid chef, and krommos has be bugging me to do a least a weekly post on a recipe, but I didn't think that any one would be interested, so I haven't really considered it.  If enough people would like it, I'd be more thatn happy to oblige.

**the 10th word should read "dietary"**

Damn my poor tyoing skills.

italian, mexican, and I would love to try cajun

oh almost forgot, no pork of shellfish, ( but these were going to be vegan recipes, so that wont matter.  However, if you have other recipes that arn't vegan...  Thanks, we love new recipeis here.

I have  a great possum etoufee recipe.

send it on.

Possum Etoufee

• One possum (4-5 lbs) cut into pieces (you can also use alligator, rabbit or chicken)
  
• Salt
  
• Cayenne pepper
  
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  
• 3/4 cup flour
  
• 1 cup finely diced yellow onion
  
• 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  
• 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
  
• 2 bay leaves
  
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 1 bottle dark lager or amber beer
  
• 1 quart cold chicken stock
  
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  
• 1/4 cup Tabasco sauce
  
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  

Season the possum pieces with salt and cayenne pepper.
 
Heat a large dutch oven over medium high heat and sear possum pieces on both sides until golden brown. Remove to a platter and reserve.
 
Add butter to pan and when melted, add flour and stir to combine well. Continue to cook roux, stirring constantly, until chocolate brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Immediately add onion, celery, bell pepper and bay leaves and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes, then add the beer and stir well to loosen any brown bits from pan bottom. Add the stock, brown sugar, Tabasco Sauce and Worcestershire Sauce and stir to combine well. Bring to a boil, return possum pieces to the pot, and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until meat is very tender. Remove possum pieces to a platter and when cool enough to handle, remove meat from the bones. Return meat to etouffee and continue to cook another 30 minutes, until sauce is thickened and flavorful. Add chopped parsley and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary and serve immediately over rice.

ok, now thats alot of tabasco, is this real spicy, and no I want to reduce the hot, for my sweetie, who is very cautious of spicy food?

It sounds good though, I think its going on the menu for tnext week.

Most good cajun has some kick to it. You can adjust the tabasco to taste

ok, cause , what my oldest son and I can eat is differant than what the others eat, I'll go easy the first time, then adjust up if we like it.

ok, all that sounds good and all....

but what's up with the intro?

Esta prohibido urinarse aqui.... would be more appropriate..

Making water feels like a more formal request to me. 

I just re-read that sentence and it frieghtens me.

but it isn't.....

Se prohibe hacer agua aqui
