Good morning.  I am trying my best to get this damnable flu thing out of
my system.  Some folks say it took them 3 weeks to get over it.  I??™ll kill
something LONG before then.

I??™ve received some very supportive emails regarding the publisher fiasco
mentioned in yesterday??™s issue.  Thanks.  Of special note is one from the
???offended??? publisher extending a pseudo-apology.  At this late date, all I
can say is ???whatever!???  I have heard from several of you and I want you to
know that I appreciate your thoughtful words of encouragement.  Let me
share an email and  ???recipe??? that I received yesterday from a reader:

???Here is an original recipe which was created that expresses
my views on the "offended" party:

Recipe for Righteous Indignation

4 heaping cups of ego
3 cups of jealousy
3 cups of boredom
1 personal computer

Preparation
Mix first three ingredients thoroughly.  Do not let mixture rest.
Immediately put on personal computer and send out.

Maggie, please take heart that we appreciate you.

CJ, AL???

If you haven??™t already done so, would you please be kind enough to
place your vote of confidence for a2z?  The links are everywhere.
Since I spend so much time on it, I would appreciate a visit to the
website as well.  The few who have read the issues there say it is
the ONLY way to go.  I agree, that??™s why I take so much time making
it possible.  It is a far more tedious task than ???cut & paste???, folks.
Unless there is some noticeable increase in traffic there, I may save
myself some time and discontinue the website for a2z subscribers.
On a final note, you must know how much time and work goes into each
issue.  My question is: do you care?  Yes, there are some of you that
are extremely kind in voting, sending in recipes, visiting my ads, etc.
Placing a vote, visiting an advertiser??™s site, sending a recipe is FREE.
It doesn??™t take a penny out of your pocket to be a participant in a2z.
However, the VAST majority give me only the time they use to read
an issue, cut & paste what recipes, jokes, etc, they desire and delete.
If you are part of the group I described last, maybe you should go to
a newsletter that doesn??™t care or matter.  It is with proud distinction
that A to Z Recipes remains a publication that cares and matters.

Our Current Monthly Theme: "Gifts from the Kitchen"
The theme for the month of November (to be posted on the first Sunday
in December) is "Gifts from the Kitchen".  A gift from the kitchen is twice
blessed; it gives pleasure to the giver as well as to the receiver.  We're looking
for recipes for gifts that are homemade in your own kitchen, whether they are
edible or not (maybe even soaps or bath/shower additives?).  Some cookie or
brownie in a jar recipes (don't forget the instructions for the cards to be
included inside the jar!) or perhaps homemade candy recipes?  Do you have a
recipe for a biscuit mix (make ahead biscuits where all the recipient does is
add water and bake) or a multi-purpose cake or muffin mix?  Some tried-and-
true recipes would certainly be appropriate as we would want to offer our
friends and family only the finest.  Please read the rules for recipe submissions
and sent to the correct email address.

Monthly Theme: "Gifts from the Kitchen"
A to Z Recipes continues with its popular Theme Issues.  We
will share theme recipes and post them on the first Sunday of
each month.  Send your recipes no later than the last Friday
of each month to have them posted in the next monthly theme
issue.  You may send in as many recipes in each email as your
little heart desires.  If the number of recipes exceeds those
needed in the issue, the publisher will post as many from every
submitter as possible and save the remaining recipes for regular,
daily issues.  The rules for recipe submissions for the monthly
theme issues are the same as ALL recipes submitted for posting.

The rules are as follows:
As a service to your fellow readers, please send only recipes
that are in a form that others could easily copy and save for
their own use.  Recipes that would require a lot of editing or
cleaning up or use non-standard measurements should not be
submitted.  This would include recipes with traces from forwarding,
those in ALL caps (or NO caps), and recipes that do not contain
the standards for recipes (title, ingredient list, and instructions).
Recipes without a name/location of sender will NOT be posted.  
There will be NO recipes posted that are from other recipe-zines.
A to Z Recipes protects the privacy of its readers and does NOT
publish email addresses.  There will be no exceptions.  Send recipes
you'd like to share to: a2zrecipes@fastmail.fm
(Use the theme name as subject.)

The deadline for next month's theme issue is Friday, November 28th.

Theme recipes must have subject: "Gifts from the Kitchen"
and will be posted on Sunday, December 7th.

~*~ RAMBLINGS ~*~



Thanksgiving Poem

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
and your pies take the prize,
and may your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off your thighs!

~*~ DID YOU KNOW ? ~*~



Let's Talk Turkey

Age is a determining factor in taste. Old, large males are preferable
to young toms (males) as tom meat is stringy. The opposite is true for
females: old hens are tougher birds.

A turkey under sixteen weeks of age is called a fryer, while a young
roaster is five to seven months old.

Turkeys are the only breed of poultry native to the Western Hemisphere.

Turkeys have great hearing, but no external ears. They can also see in
color, and have excellent visual acuity and a wide field of vision (about
270 degrees), which makes sneaking up on them difficult. However, turkeys
have a poor sense of smell (what's cooking?), but an excellent sense of taste.

Domesticated turkeys cannot fly. Wild turkeys, however, can fly for short
distances at speeds up to 55 miles per hour. They can also reach speeds of
25 miles per hour on the ground.

Turkeys sometimes spend the night in trees.

Turkeys can drown if they look up when it is raining. They can also have heart
attacks: turkeys in fields near the Air Force test areas over which the sound
barrier was broken were known to drop dead from the shock of passing jets.

The ballroom dance known as the Turkey Trot was named for the short, jerky
steps a turkey makes.

~*~ TODAY'S MENU ~*~



In this menu we snag up some tried and true recipes for
a meal that is so much more than a ???hamburger???.  We dress
up these burgers with a sun-dried-tomato mayonnaise you
can whip up in no time.  Add a potato salad that is anything
but boring and prepare yourself for a dessert cake that is
so simple it makes you wonder why you hadn??™t tried it this
way before.  No heavy icing for this rich, dense cake that
starts out with a store-bought mix!  Enjoy!
(See menus at: http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Menus.html)

FINGERLING POTATO SALAD WITH GREEN CHILE-CILANTRO SALSA
http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Sides029.html

2 cups fresh cilantro sprigs, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 shallots, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch, then simmer until just
tender, 10 to 15 minutes. (Potatoes will continue to cook after draining;
do not overcook or they will break apart.)

wise and while still warm gently toss with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Cool potatoes
to room temperature, then season with salt and pepper.

While potatoes cook, coarsely chop jalape?±os and pulse in a food processor
with cilantro, shallots, garlic, oil, and remaining 3 tablespoons vinegar until
finely chopped.

Toss potatoes with salsa.

Note:
Cool the potatoes before tossing them with the salsa so the herbs won't
