horseback rides. I suppose that being on a horse
makes one notice the iguanas less. Or perhaps
the rum was the cause of the really big lizards,
as with Duke in the Doonesbury cartoon?

I remember about her and Hawaii, we had talked about my youngest

brother being

born there also. I'd forgotten about Gitmo tho.

It was apparently an uneventful tour.

No, the slizards were there. I/we spent a lot of time at the

Acey-Deucey Club

feeding them (they liked fried chicken, but the cheese on the pizza was difficult for them). Not a lot to do there other than go to the club, then again some of the more responsible guys saved up a lot of money. The

female

population consisted of children, wives, and nurses. No way off the

base, we

were told it was mine fields/machine guns, a tall fence, then repeat on

their

side of the fence. Which put the dampers on my desire to slip off the

base and

Her dad, being a colonel, went off base quite
a lot - totalled a jeep once, too, and nobody
said anything.

covers my proficiency in 3 or 4 languages.

That's all you really need to know anyway.

Iguana
1 lb meat, Iguana (especially black spin-tailed)
1 lime
1 bunch cilantro
salt
pepper
The meat will taste a little like, yes, chicken. However it has the

texture

of crab.
Makes a nice meat filling for tacos. Use all the other fillers you

like in

your tacos.

Lose the cilantro, at least half of it.

BTW, FWIW, the one with the biggest torso I saw in Cuba...was missing it's tail. Go figger.

Human intervention?

Title: Chicken Tikka
Categories: Chicken
Yield: 6 Servings

1 lb Boneless chicken, skinned
-and cubed
1 ts Ginger pulp
1 ts Garlic pulp
1 ts Chili powder
1/4 ts Ground turmeric
1 ts Salt
1/4 pt (2/3 cup) natural low fat
-yogurt
4 tb Lemon juice
1 tb Chopped fresh coriander
1 tb Oil

----------------------------------GARNISH----------------------------------
1 sm Onion, cut into rings
Mixed salad leaves
Lime wedge
Fresh coriander

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken pieces, ginger, garlic,
chili powder, turmeric, salt, yogurt, lemon juice and fresh coriander and
leave to marinate at least 2 hours. [I used an herb mill to finely mince
the fresh coriander.]

2. Place in a grill pan or in a flameproof dish lined with foil and
baste
with the oil. [The first time I threaded the chicken pieces on metal
skewers before placing on my grill. This is the best method of
preparation, IMHO.)

3. Preheat the grill to medium. Grill the chicken for 15 - 20 minutes
until cooked, turning and basting several times. Serve on a bed of mixed
salad leaves, garnished with onion rings, lime wedges and coriander.

John's Note: Odd thing about this dish. The picture shows the chicken
having a red tint. Won't happen with this ingredient list. Turns out to
be
a yellowish color.

Bon Appetit, John
