    Hmmmm. I've heard of Ninja Polo ponies, but never about the Shetland ones.

    Man, you ain't lying. San antonio is the breakfast taco capital (seems to be a specialized thing here. Other places have breakfast burritos. You can get breakfast tacos EVERYWHERE here, all day.) Some chorizo, bacon and egg tacos, couple of barbacoa tacos, some habanero salsa or verde sauce, a red eye (starbucks house coffee, black, w/ two shots of espresso added in) and I'm ready for work man.

    Crash wants to know when we should expect the habanero poppers to arrive.

    I'm still refining the recipe. Last ones I made were, uh, a little to much for just about everyone, except me, but I've been a chili head since I learned to cook around age 6. Kinda tried to tell them I didn't make them for anyone but me, but did they listen? Noooooooooo... Heh. Wasn't nothing compared to the habanero candy I made though. Had to put that WAY up to keep the kiddo's from finding it.

    OOOF!!! Well, it would make pretty good trout bait! My Grandfather used to keep raw shrimp in a glass jar out in the sun. When the shrimp were good and spoiled they were ready to be used as bait. He always caught fish, but the STINK!!

    That's the point: What will it taste like?

    1. Cook up the gumbo. No messin' around, here!

    2. Freeze the required sample.

    3. Ship it refrigerated express overnight with plenty of dry ice.

    4. Crash and I will perform our analysis and post our review.

    Simple, huh?

    I will have to see if I can duplicate my Grandmothers freshwater chowder. Leaks, potatos, freshwater mussels from the Oswegatchie River, crawdaddies from the same river, and fresh caught perch, bass, pike, walleye, whatever the fish of the day was. Add some fresh cream (Gram had dairy cows), and play with the spices...that was good stuff!! Or I could just figure out how to send out some of the BBQ beef and beans that I have going in the crockpot right now... Man, I am getting hungry! Is it lunch time yet?

    Sometimes it is tough to agonize over difficult decisions. Ken and I hate to see our friends have to go through such a difficult time. Therefore, in order to spare you the task of having to decide.....send both!

    A thought on dried beans. ( This probably should go to another thread...) The dried beans take a really LONG time to cook. They also require a fair amount of water to soften up in. For anyone who is newly supplying themselves for long term survival, they might want to take into consideration the amount of water required for cooking before they go loading themselves up with a couple tons of beans. However if you have an unlimited water supply , then you should be in good shape. Just a thought.

    That's not the point here, Beetle. This is a public service that Crash and I provide. We are not motivated by selfish interests. We're here to help YOU!
