Hi Dale,

 RH> Somewhat so--pineapple, banana, strawberry and apple, if I'm
 RH> remembering rightly.

 NB> Pineapple's the only one there that strikes me as being very
 NB> Hawaiian...

 RH> Banana is--we had a banana bush (trying to become a tree) outside of
 RH> our front door.

 DS> I remember having a banana tree at the house Mom & Dad rented when I
 DS> was a pre-teen.  I don't recall it ever having full sized fruit --
 DS> perhaps
 DS> only little finger sized fruit.

There are very small apple bananas, about finger size. It could have
been one of those.


 DS> You'll need to make some obvious adjustments to this recipe, but it
 DS> looked like it was worth sending anyhow.

 DS> What about corn oil?   Can you use it?  If not any other oil (peanut,
 DS> canola) should be same.

We mainly use canola and olive oils. Years ago, before we figured out
Steve's corn problems, I bought corn oil but then canola hit the market
and I've bought that ever since. Haven't tried to see how corn oil might
affect him.


 DS> White wine -> apple juice?

 DS> BTW -- Gail and I got to talking and were wondering about hominy for
 DS> Stephen.  It is (or was) corn.   Ditto question for grits.

He avoids both, since they are corn. Working on the "better safe than
sorry" theory or in this case, migraine or no migraine.

 DS>       Title: Rio Rib-Eye Steak With Yellow-Pepper Sauce
 DS>  Categories: Mexican, Meat
 DS>       Yield: 4 Servings

 DS> MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
 DS>       2 tb Corn oil
 DS>       3 md Yellow bell peppers, thinly
 DS>            Sliced
 DS>       1 sm Onion, thinly sliced
 DS>       3    Cloves garlic, sliced
 DS>     1/3 c  Dry white wine
 DS>       1    Canned chipotle chile in
 DS>            Adobo sauce, seeded
 DS>       2 ts Worcestershire sauce
 DS>     1/2 ts Salt

 DS> MMMMM----------------------------BEEF---------------------------------
 DS>       6    Boneless rib-eye steaks (6
 DS>         oz Each), fat trimmed
 DS>       3 tb Adobo sauce (from canned
 DS>            Chipotle chile)
 DS>     1/2 ts Salt

 DS> MMMMM-------------------------BEAN SALAD------------------------------
 DS>      15 oz Pinto beans, rinsed,
 DS>            Drained
 DS>       1 lg Tomato, diced
 DS>     2/3 c  Thinly sliced celery
 DS>       2 tb Chopped fresh cilantro
 DS>     1/4 ts Each salt and pepper
 DS>       1 tb Each olive oil and cider
 DS>            Vinegar


This would work with sub outs for some ingredients. We'd probably omit
the cilantro as well, or cut it down to a (very) light dusting. (G)
