The shopping list
Sent hubby to the store with a shopping list. Nothing hard to find, I thought. He couldn't find canelli beans or black eyed peas beans in a can. OK, I get it about black eyed peas, but canelli beans??? That's two off the list for New Years. -- I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond.

But when I do, I tell him not to come home until he has found everything on the list. He hasn't failed yet, but has sometimes gone to four supermarkets or other stores to get them. <g> -- Wayne Boatwright (correct the spelling of "geemail" to reply) ************************************************** ********************** Date: Wednesday, 12(XII)/31(XXXI)/08(MMVIII) ************************************************** ********************** ************************************************** ********************** The fewer clear facts you have in support of an opinion, the stronger your emotional attachment to that opinion. ************************************************** ********************** |

Down South, New Year's Day dinner is collard or turnip greens and black
eyed peas. Every "green" is a dollar and every "pea" is a quarter you will have for the upcoming year. Me, Im not having either one. Lass |

My other half will go but only if the list doesn't exceed 5 or 6 items - wants to use the express lines and not spend the whole day searching. |

Om > > Use an Indian recipe for Moong Dal and substitute the blackeye peas for > the prescribed Dal. Definitely use the pressure cooker. The Indians do. > You wouldn't believe the difference from down home American blackeye > pea recipies. Ok, I'll google for that. I'm always game to re-try foods I don't generally like prepared in a different way. I'm still trying to work up the courage to re-try brussel sprouts, roasted instead of steamed. <g> I liked them as a kid but they have no appeal now. Last time dad bought a package, they rotted in the 'frige and I felt guilty about that. :-( Okay, Moong Dal: (From <http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Moong-Dal/Detail.aspx>) Looks like other variations are made with lentils or mung beans based on the google results. I'd also probably substitute stock for the water. INGREDIENTS * 2 1/2 cups dried yellow split peas * 2 1/2 cups water * 1 1/2 teaspoons salt * 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root * 1 teaspoon diced jalapeno chile pepper * 1/2 cup diced tomatoes * 3 teaspoons lemon juice * 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric * 2 teaspoons vegetable oil * 1 teaspoon cumin seed * 1/2 dried red chile pepper * 1 pinch Asafoetida * 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped * 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro * add to recipe box Add to Recipe Box My folders: * add to shopping list Add to Shopping List * Customize Recipe * add a personal note Add a Personal Note DIRECTIONS 1. Rinse split peas; soak in 2 1/2 cups water for 30 minutes. 2. Heat split peas and water, with salt, until boiling. Reduce heat to medium and cook 15 to 20 minutes, until tender and thickened. Add more water, if necessary, to prevent drying out. To the cooked split peas add ginger, jalapeno pepper, tomato, lemon juice and turmeric. 3. Heat oil in a small saucepan and add cumin seed and red chile pepper. When pepper is heated add Asafoetida and garlic. Stir mixture into split peas and add cilantro; mix well. -- Peace!
