[Sca-cooks] Re: casseroles and other stray threads

  Thanks for the input on casseroles, Master A. Looks like any noodle-y
and meatish dishes are going to be well post period. Not a problem.
I'll just have to serve it all up separately.

Not to worry, broc-coli, e-coli, same thing -- I stay well away from it
if all possible. Green beans, on the other hand, deserve onions,
mushrooms, almonds, red peppers and/or water chestnuts.
But they're new world anyway. Besides, this year I'm growing them large
(past the green snap stage) and eating the insides.

Ro-Tel is available up here, too. My pantry shelf is never without at
least one can, usually 3 or more.  There's a large Hispanic population
just across the southern border into MA, so there's a lot of really
interesting things at one of the supermarkets to buy and try. Last
month I got a sugar cone. No, not for ice cream - a cone of sugar,
about 4 in high and 2 across the bottom. Not sure what I'll do with it
yet, but there are possibilities.

Fiddleheads I know; catheads... ?  Only ones I've heard of are either
big sweet rolls or the ones attached to the real owners of the house.

ps  since Pennsic is nearly over, I'll just contribute the bicarb to
the virtual potluck
