Unfortunately, bell peppers of any variety taste nasty to us. The problem
with the alliums is that one person had just gotten a new job, and
unfortunately, alliums cause major gas problems, which we don't want to
expose the new coworkers to quite yet ;-) A wee tiny bit is OK, but basicly
alliums are out any day except Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday being the days
off.

I have been enjoying the suggestions, though- I like the idea of trying, for
example, capers and olives, and Adamantius' suggested sauce might just work,
particularly if I say that it came from Adamantius, because person who has
these dining difficulties is VERY conservative about comfort food
preferences, and gets cranky when I experiment too much. I added pineable
(leftover) and tomato (ditto) to a basic beef stew, and got griped at, for
example. So, I'm running a rather odd balancing act- if it isn't seen to be
in there, then I can likely get away with it, as long as it doesn't include
the alliums, bell peppers, or mushrooms (real, life-threatening allergy).

But, thanks so far, all- I'm listening and thinking.

Don't like getting old? Beats the Hel out of the alternative.

The purpose of life is not to arrive at the grave, a beautiful corpse,
pretty and well-preserved, but to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, proclaiming, "Wow! What a ride!"
