Well, the one thng I do remember about Tasha Tudor..she had her nephew or great nephew (or someone) helping her in the garden and he was clearing the paths and when he mentioned all of the seedlings, she asked him where he 'put' them..because each was to be planted elsewhere, not 'weeded'. I'm sure she ate mayo and Brussels sprouts, each in their place..lol.
Mike, you are the only person I've encountered who does not like olive oil...tell me how you feel about fried eggplant...lol.
Bex, I tried the tinkyada fettuccine noodles last night and those I was not happy with...they did clump. I'd made cacciatore and we usually have spaghetti with that also. It's possible that the noodles would work in another use, I'd thought of doing tetrazzini with them,but wasn't sure how they would be with baking. Perhaps will not try them again in any use. Like the lasagna noodles, not the fettuccine and will try the small shells today for pasta salad and pick up the spaghetti ones today to try. When I make spaghetti, I make pasta for Jer, but have fried eggplant wth the spaghetti sauce for myself....he has both. Love fried eggplant. Wish I were there to go to Brookings also. I would eat pie. I did bring home some of the GF piecrust mix this week. Silly, I have the ingreds to make my own....and a really great GF cookbook with every cake, bread, cookie, etc. possible and I fully intend to start doing some baking. Need to pick up some non-stick pans this a.m. as that is something I didn't use before.
Mike, I wouldn't eat those fish either. We pretty much eat no fish now.
