Runner, the mango pickle is an aside that has taken on a life of its own. A couple of months ago I made the mistake <g> of telling the board that I practice JIT grocery shopping--I go to the Safeway meal by meal. Later when the board was discussing how much food to store for Y2K, I said that I thought most people had a few weeks of food stored even if it wasn't planned. Bearcub challenged me to inventory my pantry to see how long someone with my shopping habits could last in a crisis and it came out at 32 days. In the course of reporting my results, I added as an aside that my stores included 3 jars of mango pickle. It's become something of a touchstone between daffodil and me. For anyone who might be interested, I use the mango pickle in making carrot curry. I found the recipe many years ago in the Small Planet cook book. You can't buy it at the Safeway. Over the years, I've had to change brands a number of times because the little ethnic grocery stores tend to come and go so the supply is not reliable--hence my three jars, all different brands. Now aren't you glad you asked?? <g> Karen

>> Now I understand about the poetry but would you please explain the "mango pickle"? << Ah yes, the famous mango pickle. The saga began when bearcub challenged kholt to inventory her pantry to determine how long she could survive without reinforcements. She replies: Message 11028111 kholt then amends her response to add the all-important pickle: techstocks.com Shocked at the state of her pantry, I invite kholt to my house come Y2K: Message 11033118 kholt accepts my invitation: techstocks.com Thus it has come to pass that a large part of my recipe planning for Y2K has been focused on the mystical mangle pickle :) }=>--------->>>>
