10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Did you just say you added pineapple to
beef stew? Please tell me this turned out better than it sounds… as it sounds
truly bizarre to me. (‘Course, the only way I really like pineapple is grilled
with cinnamon, ala the local Brazillian steakhouse, so that may be why…)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>As to the sauce, the last time I made a
big batch of spaghetti sauce (I tend to make it and freeze it in 2 person
ziplocks), I was feeling experimental and did a mixture of meats (ground beef,
pork, and lamb), along with standard tomatoes, onions,etc. The interesting
thing about the recipe was the addition of nutmeg, which gave it a really nifty
flavor. Just a thought.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
