I don't know about all that. You would think there would be very little in the way of direct intent or ulterior motives in mexican recipes. Some folks are just more creative than others, then again, A1 may just like ****ing a few people off. I'll be in Austin next week a few days and would have no problem meeting him for lunch if he likes. I would not make hasty judgements about folks on a ng,. some might really surprise you. I once knew the most uncouth, mannerless wealthly old coot. Fact is I got to know him very well. I asked him one time just why he was so offensive. He quitely explained he was old, fat and ulgy, the only thing most people wanted from him was money or "something". This was the truth an I understood it. He said he did it "because he could".... an I understand that. A1 cheerfully refunds our money.:-) Hasty Judgements, A True Story An excellent example of why judging solely by what's on the surface is a bad thing __________________________________________________ _ A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly to the Harvard campus and without an appointment into the president's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president", the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied. For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted to do. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. And he sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple. The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed, and my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus". The president wasn't touched - he was shocked. "Madam," he said gruffy, "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery". "Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard. The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard." For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. And the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded. The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. And Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about. doc |

I make fritters out of sock puppets. It's a joy in the kitchen, drowning them in green sauce and hearing them scream, after a brief resuscitation I deep fry them in grape seed oil........ Presto Chango, crispy Taco's Marionetas del Calcetín con queso..... This is not real Tex-Mex but an old Texican recipe I share with you. Beware, cats love them also which may call for Taco de Gato. My cat who (yes, "who") is, I am convinced, telepathic, is already eyeing me rather suspiciously as I write this. Come to think of it, there is a recipe for cat-sup, but it takes rather a lot of tomatoes. My copy of Larousse suggests that cats be left for emergencies, such as siege and famine. They claim that the creatures are tough and taste like duck. Oh well, something for a genteel enlightened table conversation another time. I hope I have answered your questions. What a way to start the week...... an indication of things to come? A1, interested in lunch Tuesday? doc |

My original post was intended to be a reply to Rich McCormack's post
"Salsa de chile arbor." I guess I pushed the wrong button, and it became a separate post. Oh, the wonders of the computer gods! Froglag asked: > What's that arrangement the tomato is toasting on? It's a little grill that was made for her by her husband who has a welding shop. It's very handy for toasting little things. > I'm going to stop whining about "not enough counter space," too. It looks as if Doņa Martha cooks about 10 times better in a quarter the space. Actually she has quite a lot of counter space in this kitchen. There are some wider views of it in the Tamales story. This is not her kitchen; it belongs to one of her grand daughters. She is living here temporarily while her house is being remodeled. There is a picture story of the remodeling unfolding on my website. There is also a long, detailed picture story of the building of the house she is living/cooking in now. Do a little exploring of the website; you may be surprised by what you find at www.Rollybrook.com |

Do a little exploring of the website; you may >be surprised by what you find at www.Rollybrook.com Just spent a fair amount of time on it this morning. :-) In addition to my first visit. remodel -- it's probably too late (and too early) now, but for us non-construction types, Before and After pics of rooms and features would be awfully interesting. Particularly in the kitchen. I much regret that I have only incidental glimpses in photos of my kitchen before re-do (4.5' of counter space in pink Formica.) |

David Koresh was on tv for the three days I was there and long after. I was conducting research which required reviewing chain of title and deed information for the past 50 years. Waco was an important town in the days of the cattle drives because of the suspension bridge built across the Brazos River in 1870. It was an important town during the Western movement and part of the Chisolm Trail. In 1992 I was involved in large land acquisitions and environmental accessments for the superconducting super collider. Much time was spent in Waco and the surrounding towns over eight months. More recently we have learned of the Baylor Un.Dean/ basketball coach affair and the Carlton Dotson case involving the murder of Patrick Dennehy. If I'm hungry in Waco I'll drive to the near by small town of West and have an official Texas state Czech kolache. There is great BBQ in Taylor, Texas or I can drive on in to Austin and enjoy good Vietnamese, Thai or Salvadorian food. A Salvadorian sampler plate, with a "tamale", "quesadillas", fried plantains and fried yucca. They serve a very good sopao de Mariscos an allow you to have a semi-decent meal without seeing people in bad K-Mart designer polyester fashions. Nuff' said on hasty judgements? Would you like to discuss "Keep Austin Weird"? http://www.keepaustinweird.com/ I find when the going gets weird the weird turn Pro. doc |

Or are you making a judgement yourself? Double standard in > play, I'm betting. So far as I gather David is in San Antonio where I also keep a place, although I'm seldom there. He might have grown up in or around Waco and taken offense at my off hand remark. He assumed I may not have known anything about Waco. In fact when I returned from Southeast Asia in 68' I was in the hospitial at Fort Hood for six months, went to Waco esp. to eat at a fair German place in the old Holiday Inn. I had a contractor who was from Waco working on a couple places I have in the Hill Country. He did dirt work, put in driveways, cleared areas along the river and yacked a lot. That fellow had a lot of stories about growing up in Waco. I travel a great deal both in an out of Texas. The Central region, Coastal planes and Boarder-Plex from Brownsville to Del Rio I know particularly well. What's happened to small towns and regional food is depressing. Fast food has replaced many of the local eateries, Wal-Mart has run many small town stores out of business and the kids leave town after high school. In some towns a prison facility or grocery store may be the largest employer, this is sad. Of one thing you can be sure, doc can always find the nearest good place to eat be it a taco shack. I might go on to say; an a few places, in this ever increasing cut'-n-dried state, where a little magic exist. What the Hell, I just wanted to know a little more about lingua. :-) doc |

There was another person around here who knew Waco from years back and even knew the one-block-long street my family's house was on.

Hey, did you ever meet Bonnie & Clyde? I heard some of those old stories around Italy and Ennis county. David, Waco wasn't wacky back then.

[snip] Fifteen years earlier and they'd've still been using natural pigments and cave walls along some river to record those times. (Or so my Father-unit once stated to my gasp at learning when he was born.) <EG> ObMexicanFood: From < http://www.thatsmyhome.com/texmex/main/verdes.htm ENCHILADAS VERDES INGREDIENTS: Green Tomatillo Sauce: 1 pound tomatillos 2 garlic cloves 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 onion, finely chopped Salt, to taste Pepper, to taste Enchiladas: Vegetable oil for frying 12 corn tortillas, homemade or store bought 2 cups shredded cooked chicken or shredded queso (Chihuahua or Monterey Jack cheese) 3/4 cup sour cream Chopped cilantro METHOD: To make the sauce, soak the tomatillos in a bowl of cold water to loosen the husks. Drain, and peel off the husks. Place the tomatillos and garlic in a saucepan with water to cover the tomatillos halfway and bring to a boil. Boil until the tomatillos are soft, about 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer the tomatillos and garlic to a blender and blend to a purée. Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the puréed tomatillos and the onion, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour 1/2 inch of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until hot. One at a time, dip the tortillas into the hot oil to soften them, just a few seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Fill the center of the tortillas with the chicken or cheese and fold over the sides. Place seam side down on individual plates and top with the warm sauce. Garnish with the sour cream and cilantro. Note: You can also use the sauce as a dipping sauce for tortilla chips or as a salsa in other dishes: Add 1 serrano chile, finely chopped, and 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, to taste. Makes 6 servings. Source: 'Los Barrios Family Cookbook The Ranger [NOTES: I would substitute Canola Oil for the Vegetable Oil and Creme Fraiche for the Sour Cream.] |
