Pete and Jeff,
Thanks for the comments. I am new to this bulletin board thing, it is sorta fun!
Jeff, Ennis made me swear on a stack of bibles that I would never make Crab Mongol again. All I remember is that it had a can of tomato soup, a can of pea soup and a can of crab. Maybe some worcestershire sauce? I served it on rice and Ennis spit it out at the table. That from a man who things fried spam sandwiches are a delicacy!
Pete, thanks for the variations. Turkey is good, I've actually done that. What bad associations have I had with turkey?? And heart healthy, yeah, I know that is something I should worry about but Ennis loves real eggs and I just can't bring myself to use that substitute. Try as I might...
Cabbage, hm, interesting. Ain't ever tried that.
If any of you guys are into dropping hints, the 75th anniversary edition of The Joy of Cooking will be published this year. Might make a good Christmas present for a certain blue-eyed, black haired (well, gray now) cowboy y'all know who lives in Quanah, TX...pass that message along to Ennis, willya?
Your pal,
Jack
