Headerinos, I've been doing battle with Netscape crashes lately and unable to keep running long enough to read a few of my digests, but trying to catch up now. Anywheres, Gareth, my dear Knight, the bananas are portable and HIGHLY effective <sigh, grin>. (That's a psygrin, Myron). Gareth wrote: <<You must understand, however, that it will never replace Deb's "portable and effective banana.">> green, Marie Sharp's is a good sauce but $6/bottle isn't so good, I'm afraid. I think it is often found priced in the El Yuc area (under $2) at several grocery chains...look around in yours. (I haven't had the mild version, though, assuming it is same without the heat). Yes, I am here again finally, Doug in BC. And, yes, everyone, you should try steamed cauliflower with turmeric, salt, pepper, butter and Calvin's mythical powder sometime. Interesting combo of flavors, all "complement" each other very well. Another one of Doug's many winner recipes. Doug wrote: <<with a turmeric cauliflower, ya there Deb in Houston? It does work, does it not?>> Dave, perhaps Monsanto is in the process of buying that company that the Kemist mentioned? I didn't read what he wrote to say that they already own it as you did...maybe you didn't need to be so fast on the discount-all-data trigger after all? But I don't follow that stuff, so he may have still been incorrect with that tid bit, I don't know. Maybe Rael knows, he keeps track of them thar genetic meddlin' varmits and what they are up to alot....Rael?

It is using Monsanto genes, but it is not owned by Monsanto. When you haven't verified your statements you do a disservice to all and make the internet a rumor mill instead of an educational tool.>> after KB, the mad Kemist wrote: <<There is Asgrow Seeds being bought by Monsanto that introduced virus resistant squash.>> I think that pretty much catches me up. If a long period passes without word from me y'all will know I've taken the baseball bat to my 'puter for the crashing (I think it is Netscape) to fix it once and for all... Deb in Houston
