Title: Orange Macaroon Drink
Categories: Beverages, Alcohol-no
2 c Orange juice
1/2 c Coconut cream
3/4 ts Almond extract

There's all sorts of cocktails that contain those three
ingredients too. It's a flavour combination that seems to be
popular. And here's a non-beverage incorporating the same three
flavours together.

Title: Coconut Almond Granola
Categories: Breakfast, Grains, Fruit, Nuts
Yield: 2 Servings

3 tb Firmly packed light brown
-sugar
3 tb Unsalted butter
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Vanilla
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Freshly grated orange zest
1/2 c Sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 c Sliced almond
1 c Old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 c Wheat germ

In a small saucepan combine the brown sugar, the butter, the
cinnamon, the vanilla, the salt, and the zest and cook the mixture
over moderately low heat, stirring, until the brown sugar is
dissolved. In a bowl stir together the coconut, the almonds, the
oats, and the wheat germ, add the brown sugar mixture,and toss the
mixture until it is combined well. Spread the granola in a
jelly-roll pan, bake it in the middle of a preheated 350F. oven,
stirring every 5 minutes, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is
golden, and let it cool. The granola keeps in an airtight
container for 1 week.

Suggestion: Serve the granola as a topping for fruit salad.

Makes about 2 cups.

Title: Green Tomatillo Sauce
Categories: Sauce, Tex mex
Yield: 4 Servings

6 Tomatillos (depending on
Size)
1 sm Onion, cut into quarters
1 Clove garlic
Enough chicken broth (NOT
Stock) to cover
2 Serrano chiles, seeded and
Diced
1/4 c Cilantro
Salt to taste

Husk the tomatillos and wash them to remove the sticky sap that covers
them. Place in a small saucepan with onion and garlic. Cover with
chicken broth (again, do NOT use stock, it will be too heavy and
spoil the taste of the finished sauce) to cover.

Simmer over low heat until tomatillos are quite soft, and onions and
garlic are cooked.

Place cooked vegetable and the cooking liquid into the bowl of a food
processor or blender. Add peppers and cilantro, and process until
quite smooth.

Return to the saucepan, and simmer until the mixture is reduced
slightly (it should be thick enough to lightly coat a spoon). Salt
to taste.

This makes an excellent sauce for rellanos, but is equally good over
an omlette, leftover pork roast, or as a topping for grilled chicken
breasts. If you double the recipe, it also makes a killer sauce
for green chile enchiladas.

Source: My attempt to recreate the excellent rellano sauce served
by the El Napolito restaurant in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA. Not quite
it, but good, nontheless.

I opened my secondary bank account at a local credit union three years
ago. I still have not gone through the first pad of 25 cheques. Deposit
slips - those are in short supply. I had to stop and get a supply of
blanks this week. Same for my primary bank - deposit slips are the big
use items.

Regular household bills electric, gas, trash service, internet, Part D,
etc. are all on "level pay" and deducted from one or the other of my
checking accounts - except the internet and Part D. The utilities and
trash have a "convenience fee" for using plastic.

I put recurring bills that don't whack one extra for plastic on one or
the other of my credit cards - all of which have some sort of "rewards" attached to their use.

Thinking about it - taxes and licence plates are about all I write a
cheque for any more. And I have found a way to pay my taxes by direct
debit and avoid the "convenience fee".

I get the feeling that if the internet ever blows up a lot of us will
be in mega-dookey land.

There are lots like you... but I write many more than that a year...
although I'll use my debit/ATM card to avoid using checks when I'm out,
and I'll use the pay-by-phone to direct debit from the account for my
three major credit card payments, most bills are paid by check from the account(s) as are most charitable donations... I don't like automatic
debits from the accounts, and I like to have the bank book's record of
anything medical or charitable... And I prefer not to run up the credit
card accounts by auto charges, as the card that gives better rebates
isn't one that I pay off in full each month... :)

Everything seems to be working OK. I was incommunicado from about the 1st of last month until the 24th(?). Traveling the first part, my fault the last part. But the QWK packets were stacking up at my ISP. I was watching via web mail.

Things are mostly calm, computer wise. In Anchorage there was a power glitch so I know at least one is sitting there patiently waiting for someone to press the F1 key so it can boot. I'm waiting until folks up there have a chance to catch their breath before I start bugging them for a favor. Here things are fairly calm. I'm waiting on what will be my new computer in Anchorage. Order here, deliver here, most places want $'s to ship to Anchorage. Then it's load it up, and reload this one. Ship it back as luggage, big hardsided suitcases work well (it's what I brought this one down in) and they're dirt cheap in thrift stores.

In Anchorage I was told I had a photo fall off of a coffee table onto the carpet, and 2 lamps fall off of the nightstands, one broken bulb.

What was glossed over was a 5.7 about a week earlier that was down by Homer (there's a web site earthquake.alaska.edu/earthquakes, if anybody cares, showing all the seismic activity). My RV parked at the lake is halfway there.
Last time they had a good shaker down that way I lost a TV, and had some minor damage to things. I'll see in the spring. Another time, back when the cat was
around...we were sitting there, me reading and listening to music, the cat doing feline things...and all of a sudden the RV was bouncing one way and the building was bouncing another. Slamming into each other on the shared wall, normally about a 2" gap. The cat glared at me with an expression that said "Very funny! Now stop it!" No cracks in the drywall or anything else, so all was well.
