Put a wire fence around that squash and everyone will know it is claimed!

did you try dunking the dill in warm water with a bit of dish soap in? provided the pot is not too big, of course. needs to be done every day for a couple of weeks. I have one bougainvillea full of bloom and the other sitting right next to it with not one. side by side all summer, same watering, same fertilizer, same everything. not one bloom. huh.

AH! Now I get it. That was from the NYC trip and we were eating at an Indian restaurant. The thing in the picture is a paper dosa and we tore off pieces and ate it with the curries and other dishes we ordered. It was very tasty!

Sorry, on Adolfo’s photos, his brother and girlfriend were in the picture, so I thought it had to do with the trip you are writing about.

What is the huge tortilla or crepe? How was that to be used? Was that in NY or GDL?

I’ll have to ask, I know she boiled it for a while first with an onion a carrot and a couple bay leaves, until she decided it was done. Then she cooled it and sliced it (maybe a quarter of an inch thick?) and cooked it some more with tomato sauce and some of the broth, a sliced carrot, some onion, and maybe some other things… just before she turned it off she added some green olives, capers and would have added a roasted red pepper, but I didn’t have one.
Em – you have to come visit so we can take you on a tongue-tasting-tour!

OK, I’m psyched! We just had a cow butchered and I asked for the organ meats (you have to take all) and included was a tongue! I’ve looked on line and found some suggestions. Will she share her recipe?
