Hello Cindy,

>bk>If not, we can grill Lee about it. If he doesn't reply we'll
>bk>make hamburger out of him. With dehydrated onions.

>CH>I'd rather have grilled swiss with red peppers and a dab of
>CH>honey mustard. Or better: NYS style bagel; a toasted sesame
>CH>seed bagel with sweet red peppers, aged a bit of cheddar
>CH>and minced garlic toasted on top...  (HAS to be a sesame
>CH>bagel...)

>bk>See, Cindy...

CH>Lee and I like good food. We're Southerners. By dog. Hey I've been in
CH>the South for 8 years now so I think I can call m'self a Southern
CH>Dixie Cup by now. 

All Cajuns love good food.  Spicy, but not really "hot".  Southerners
usually prefer food a bit more bland, but even Elvis knew good Southern
food when he tasted it.  Such as banana and peanut butter sandwiches...

>LL>Ce doit avoir ‚t‚ ce gallon fran‡ais qui m'a obtenu perdu.
>LL>Mais maintenant j'ai ‚t‚ trouv‚.  :)

>LL>La meilleure m‚thode est d'imbiber les oignons d‚shydrat‚s
>LL>en jus de choucroute pendant quinze minutes, pour placer
>LL>alors sure le gril, ajoutant les pƒt‚s d'hamburger, et le
>LL>cuisinier jusqu'… fait.

>bk>lost> perdue

CH>perdue means "lost" really? So that means the chicken guy is lost.
CH>Now the University in Ithaca is PUrdue... I used to get those two
CH>mixed up. (A relative once taught there.)

Per due - which is why the french never pay their dues on time.

>bk>found> trouve

CH>AH that's in the Jabberwacky I think.

>bk>5 minutes> quinze minutes

CH>good scrabble word that one. quinze

5 minutes would be cinq, not quinze.
15 minutes would be quinze.

>bk>grill> gril

CH>that's easy enough.

>bk>hamburger> Pates d'hamburger
>bk>dehydrated onions> Oignons deshydrates

CH>I'll just stick to the English.

Over 60 percent of all English words ending in -tion are French.
Sometimes with a different meaning, but always with the same spelling.

>bk>My French was high school, over 40 years ago. But the only part

CH>You've got a good memory for it. A niece took it recently and says it
CH>makes her think backwards. (YOu know, transposing subject/object and
CH>all that.)

>bk>of that I didn't get, I believe, was the Jus de choucroute.
>bk>Juice of something. Knowing Lee it might be Juice of Crawfish.

CH>LOL. I know the de jour, soup de jour (soup of the day).
CH>Some restaurants think if they use fancy words the food will somehow
CH>taste better. Maybe it does sometimes. A psychological trick.

Jus de choucroute is sauerkraut juice.  :)

CH>speaking of psychology remember the Heinz ketchup campaign to sell
CH>purple/green/orange ketchup? Didn't go too well. Even it the taste
CH>is not  altered, people like their ketchup red. Period.

The purple ketchup was better than the green ketchup.  But it still
looked funky, giving it a somewhat different taste than red ketchup.

CH>If you beat a tablespoon of dish washing liquid with two cups of
CH>water... you'll get what looks like whipped egg whites. Very pretty!
CH>Use it to clean upholstery fabric. This reminded me that in Food ADS
CH>they use shaving cream for whipped cream because it holds up under the
CH>hot stage lights.

CH>Mix veg oil and sugar together (for banana bread). Looks like
CH>applesauce.

Ever tried to make pearsauce?

>bk>Nah... even he wouldn't do that... would he?

CH>Re juice of crawfish. Yes. lee would do that. :)

Depends on the crawfish recipe.  Crawfish "juice" would be crawfish fat.
Widely used in making crawfish etouffee.  But never in crawfish stew.

>bk>Let's see how I did, Lee can score it.

CH>Scored crawfish ...

I'd like to see that fellow who set a world record 59 and a half hot
dogs in 12 minutes try to out-eat crawfish-loving Cajuns.  :)

>bk>He had a french recipe that he had lost, but now he has found
>bk>it.

Not quite, but close enough.  :)

>bk>The (meillure) classic? best? preferred? method is to soak the
>bk>dehydrated onions in the choucroute juice, whatever that is, for
>bk>about 5 minutes. Then place them with the hamburger patties on
>bk>the grill. And the cuisine is complete.

Soak dehydrated onions in sauerkraut juice, for 15 minutes.

>bk>IOWA, it appears he is a purist when it comes to hamburgers. As
>bk>am I.

CH>I am too. Same with chocolate.

Wha'?  You no like chocolate with mixed-in cranberries and nuts?

CH>Y'all won't believe this but a friend of the daughter won't eat a
CH>cookie without a glass of milk.

The only way to eat an Oreo.  :)
