 SH> I have a big basket of the old figures that used to come in the
 SH> tea as well.  They were played with by many kids and currently at
 SH> the trailer for Vincent.

Yeah, I came across some of them when I was cleaning up my mom's
house for the estate sale. I grabbed a few of them and passed them
on to my granddaughter Neekha when she was a kid. Now my great
grandson has them.

 SH> Rasberry twister is my current favorite.

I'm not familiar with it. Did you mean Celestrial Raspberry Zinger
by chance?  I too like their series of Zinger teas and currently
have the "wildberry" one.

To the others: the main flavour that predominates those blends is
hibiscus flowers.

Another cauliflower thing:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Karnabeet Makly (Deep-Fried Cauliflower)
 Categories: Appetizers, Middle east, Snacks, Vegetables
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      1 lg Cauliflower
      1 ts Salt
           Oil for deep fat frying
           Taratoor Sauce
 
  Cut away the thick stem at the base of the cauliflower and remove
  the green leaves.  Break the florets off the center core and cut
  the core into 1" cubes.  Wash the florets and cubes under cold
  running water. In a 3 to 4 qt enameled or stainless steel
  saucepan, bring 1 qt of water and the salt to a boil over high
  heat. Drop in the cauliflower and cook briskly, uncovered, for 10
  minutes, or until the pieces are tender but still somewhat
  resistant to the point of a small, sharp knife. Drain in a sieve
  or colander. In a heavy 10" to 12" skillet with a deep frying
  thermometer or in an electric skillet, heat 2" of oil until
  it reaches a temperature of 375F. Pat the cauliflower completely
  dry with paper towels, and a dozen or so pieces at a time, fry
  them in the hot oil for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown on
  all sides. As they brown, remove them with a slotted spoon and
  drain them on paper towels. They may be served hot or at room
  temperature covered with taratoor.
 
  Taratoor is an Arabic tahini, lemon juice and garlic sauce - JW

MMMMM


Cheers
