    No, but you can get a lot of your veggies and meats locally. I didn't
    mean to say buy everything local, just what you can, and look for the
    best value in what has to be brought in, otherwise.

    Title: Khao Neeo Durian

    Yield: 4 Servings

    You could buy the fruit locally if you lived in some Asian regions. (G)

    I could buy it at the Asian Foods Store until the tornadoes did a job
    on it and the Mr. Battery next door. They found batteries as much as a
    mile from the site of the (former) building. And there were reports of
    the odd durian with its spiky husk being found in some back yards.

    I could buy it at the Asian Foods Store until the tornadoes did a job

    About as local as you could get, plus the shipping in from several
    thousand miles away. Tornadoes do put an end to so many places like
    that; usually the owners have no or insufficient insurance to rebuild or
    just don't want to rebuild.

    on it and the Mr. Battery next door. They found batteries as much as a mile from the site of the (former) building. And there were reports of

    No surprise. We've not been thru tornadoes--had some close calls but the pictures I've seen of the aftermath, even relatively near us, is enough
    to scare you.

    I've made a similar one we call Hot Fudge Pudding Cake, have also seen
    it called Ice Cream Sundae Cake. We make the base layer, sprinkle on the
    mix of brown sugar and cocoa, then pour water over the whole thing &
    bake. Whatever it's called, it was a family favorite when I was growing
    up and our girls enjoyed it when they were home.

    I've been near enough to tornadoes - one took a path through the back
    yard of my house .... amd didn't disturb a shingle. Didn't do the next
    door neighbour's garage a world of good, thought. Our school sports
    teams were called the "Tornadoes".

    The tornadoes that took out the Asian Supply criss crossed Springfield
    within two hours of each other. I was livig in a mobile home at the time.

    All jokes to the contrary about trailer parks being tornado magnets - we
    didn't even lose any branches off of the trees. The Path of the storms
    though looked like pictures I have seen of war zones after heavy bombing.

    I sort of thought of it as Mother Nature's urban renewal.

    Title: The Urban Peasant's Cauliflower Cheese
    Categories: Vegetables, Dairy, Cheese
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 Cauliflower
    2 tb (30 mL) butter
    2 tb (30 mL) all-purpose flour
    1 c (250 mL) Milk
    1/2 ts (ea) salt & pepper
    2 Egg yolks beaten
    1 ts (5 mL) paprika
    1 ts (5 mL) grated lemon zest
    1/2 c (125 mL) shredded Canadian
    - Cheddar cheese

    Set the oven @ 400ºF/200ºC.

    Break the cauliflower into florets and boil until just
    tender. Drain and place in a 9" (23 cm) square baking
    dish.

    Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in
    the flour to form a paste. Slowly add the milk, stirring
    constantly as you bring it to a boil. Add the salt,
    pepper, egg yolks, paprika and lemon zest, stirring
    quickly so that the yolks do not curdle. Add half of the
    Canadian Cheddar and mix until it melts.

    Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and top with the
    rest of the cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 min or until
    lightly browned.

    Just a bit too far to make a casual, drop in, shopping trip. On our way
    home from the Outer Banks yesterday we took a route that would take us
    by a quilt shop we'd stopped at before. So, we stopped--and shopped. We
    also, since we had it with us, pulled the sewing machine that we keep in
    the camper out and turned it in for servicing. It had never been
    serviced in the 15 year history of owning it (Deborah owned it for a
    while but never got it serviced.) so we figured it was about time to get
    it cleaned, etc. We'll pick it up next week, and probably do more
    shopping.

    The "after" pictures always do look pretty awesome in the amount of destruction. Some friends of ours moved out to OK from NC about 10
    years ago, to a town that had just been hit by a major storm. They are
    now back in NC, still subject to tornadoes.

    I sort of thought of it as Mother Nature's urban renewal.

    Sort of, yes.

    Looks good. Steve doesn't like caulifower that much if it's plain but is
    more willing to eat it if I put a cheese sauce on it. Even some grated
    Parm will make a difference; I did it that way when the girls were still
    living at home and every bit was eaten.

    Any excuse to get back for more fresh seafood, right?

    No surprise. We've not been thru tornadoes--had some close calls but

    Nor have we. We have been through multiple hurricanes, and even an
    earthquake -- but the thought of a tornadoe is the most scary. Even
    though a hurricane does damage over a wider area, the fact that it is
    coming is predicable days in advance. For a tornado, the time frame is
    only minutes.

    Hi Dale,

    Just a bit too far to make a casual, drop in, shopping trip. On our
    way home from the Outer Banks yesterday we took a route that would take
    us by a quilt shop we'd stopped at before. So, we stopped--and shopped.
    We also, since we had it with us, pulled the sewing machine that we
    keep in the camper out and turned it in for servicing. It had never
    been serviced in the 15 year history of owning it (Deborah owned it for
    a while but never got it serviced.) so we figured it was about time to
    get it cleaned, etc. We'll pick it up next week, and probably do more shopping.

    Any excuse to get back for more fresh seafood, right?

    No, the shop is only about half an hour from Wake Forest so any seafood
    in that area is probably about as fresh as we'd get. Actually, since
    we're a bit closer to Raleigh, we might get it fresher, especially if
    it's flown in from the coast. (G)


    No surprise. We've not been thru tornadoes--had some close calls but

    Nor have we. We have been through multiple hurricanes, and even an earthquake -- but the thought of a tornadoe is the most scary. Even though a hurricane does damage over a wider area, the fact that it is coming is predicable days in advance. For a tornado, the time frame
    is only minutes.

    At least now we have weather radios and other warning systems. If the
    spotters can catch the formation in time, it's possible to minimise the
    loss of life--but not damage control otherwise. We have a weather radio;
    when it goes off and lets us know of a watch or warning in this area,
    we'll turn on the tv for more information--and keep it on until the "all
    clear" is given.

    The pizza was ok for what it was but nothing I'd order or buy at a
    grocery store. As for a sub for mashed potatoes, I'd rather have it as cauliflower and get another vegetable. I'll eat mashed potatoes, but not
    nearly as often as I did when I was growing up. (My dad insisted on them
    almost every night.)
