The shrimp remoulade is outstanding. Have fun, I'm envious.

Jane that's an interesting thought. I'll bet Bob will weigh in on it soon. When I was growing up, my grandmother used to boil water, and pour spoonfuls over the coffee grinds and they would drip into the pot. I think that if you're curious about the result you ought to try this method first, because...

I love all of those, cstoehr.... Ruth Rendell is a good author, very Brit. I'm pretty sure I've read all of Mary Higgins Clark. Have you tried Barbara Michaels? Good stuff.

It was funny trying to fold the tortillas in half though.... do these look all right? They sure were good, but I fried them a lot longer than five seconds. http://img382....

ratcheese.... SMOOCH SMOOCH SMOOCH! (I'm forward, what can I say?) lol Ok, my mouth is absolutely watering. I'm off to the store today to buy the ingredients. I've read and reread your instructions... hahaha... I'll let you know how many tortillas go to the circular file along the way. Actually, it ...
