      Title: Pesto
 Categories: Foods, Sauces, Lacto, Magic & med
      Yield: 1 Recipe
      2 c  Fresh basil leaves
    2/3 c  Olive oil
      3    Cloves garlic, coarsely
           ...chopped
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 c  Pine nuts or chopped walnuts
    1/3 c  Grated Parmesan cheese
    1/4 c  Grated Romano cheese
  Toss pesto with hot pasta for a first course, mix a small amount of
  it with a vinegar and oil dressing for salad, or stuff hollowed-out
  cherry tomatoes with it for a delicious appetizer.
  Pack basil leaves loosely in the container of a blender or food
  processor. Add the oil, garlic, and salt; blend a few seconds at a
  time at low speed until the leaves are chopped and coated with the
  oil. Continue to blend at high speed until smooth.  Add remaining
  ingredients; blend for another few seconds.  If the paste seems too
  thick for pasta, add a little more oil. Makes enough sauce for 1
  pound of cooked pasta.
  If you want to freeze the pesto, omit the cheese; add it to the thawed
  mixture before serving.

      Title: Elaine's Dolmas
 Categories: Vegetarian
      Yield: 48 Servings
     48    Grape leaves (about 1 jar)
    1/2 c  Long grain brown rice;cooked
      2 c  Onion; finely chopped
      2 tb Parsley; finely chopped
      2 tb Mint leaves; finely chopped
      2 ts Dill weed
    1/4 c  Pine nuts
    1/4 c  Currants
    1/4 ts Black pepper
      1 c  Tofu TVP (optional)
   Place grape leves briefly in a pan of warm water to separate them,
  then drain on paper towels. Combine all other ingredients. Place
  grape leaf vein side up, with the stem toward you. Put a mound of
  rice mixture in the middle of the leaf (about 1 rounded tsp to 1
  rounded tbsp, depending on the size of the leaf). Fold over sides and
  roll up leaf. Layer the rolled leaves in a large saucepan (3 quart)
  placing them side by side and close together. Press with a heavy heat
  proof plate that fits inside the pan. Add enough boiling water to
  cover leaves. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
   Hints: Dolmas may be served warm or chilled. If warm, try serving
  them with lemon sauce. If cold, serve them with garbanzo puree or
  eggplant. Tabouli is also a good dish to serve at the same meal.
  Dolmas are easy to take to a potluck dinner and they also make a very
  special "company meal." Recipe for making tofu TVP follows. The use
  of the tofu in this recipe is entirely optional; they are delicious
  both ways.

      Yield: 1 Servings
      1 oz Butter
      2    Spring Onions, Green And
           White Parts, Chopped
      1 t  Grated Orange Peel
      1 t  Grated Lemon Peel
    1/2 t  Ground Coriander (more
           To taste)
      6 oz Single (Light) Cream
      3 T  Plain Yoghurt
           Salt And Freshly Ground
           Black Pepper - to taste
           2 To 3 Avocados
  Melt butter in a saucepan, add spring onions and stir-fry 1 minute.
  Then add orange and lemon peel and coriander. Remove from the heat
  while you prepare cream and yoghurt. Pour cream into a small bowl and
  add yoghurt, salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Peel, stone and
  chop avocados (the size you chop the pieces is personal preference,
  but we usually chop into about 1.5 cm cubes).  Add the avocado to the
  ingredients in the pan, pour yoghurt mixture over and very gently
  heat through. DO NOT BOIL or avocados will become soggy and sauce
  will curdle. Pour over pasta, toss and serve at once.
  Note:  This sauce can be started in advance but the avocados should
  not be added until the last minute.
  For the two of us for dinner, we halve all of the ingredients, and
  use one medium to large sized avocado.

  The octopus must be very carefully washed and dried, and the mouth
  removed. Cover the bottom of a saucepan with oil; add the rosemary,
  bay leaf oregano, cumin seeds, parley, chili pepper, tomatoes and
  chopped garlic. Place the octopus on top of this mixture and season

  and cheaper!

      Title: Curried rice
 Categories: Grains
      Yield: 4 Servings
  2 1/2 t  Butter
      1 c  Onion, chopped
    1/4 t  Garlic, minced
      1 c  Rice
      1 T  Curry powder,
           -vary to taste
  1 1/2 c  Chicken broth (or
           -chicken bouillon,
           -or water)
      2    Parsley sprigs
      1    Bay leaf
  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Obtain casserole or heavy ovenproof
  saucepan with a close-fitting lid.
  Over a burner on moderate heat, melt half the butter in the casserole
  and cook the onion and garlic, stirring constantly, until the onion is
  translucent.
  Add the rice and stir until well-coated with butter.  Add the curry
  powder and stir until well-blended. Add the broth and stir to make
  sure there are no lumps. Add the parsley and bay leaf on top.
  Cover and bake in the oven for 17 minutes (Franey says exactly 17
  minutes, but basically "cook until done.") Discard parsley and bay
  leaf and stir in remaining butter.
  NOTES:
  *  Baked rice with a mild curry flavor -- This is a slight
  modification of the "Riz a l'Indienne" from the 60-Minute Gourmet
  (Pierre Franey). It's more French than Indian, and goes well with,
  say, sauteed chicken in cream.
  *  This basic recipe may be varied by modifying quantities (for
  example, less onion) or adding ingredients (for example, pine nuts or
  apple chunks).
  : Difficulty:  easy
  : Time:  15 minutes preparation, 25 minutes cooking.
  : Precision:  Measure the rice and broth.

Perhaps you should ascertain exactly where the tomatos are grown. Here
in Hillsborough County, Florida, is the town of Ruskin, the Winter
tomato Capitol of the USA. They produce 3 crops per year and almost
allof the crop is exported to other states including tenn. These tomatos
are "ground-grown" certainly not greenhouse grown. There are not enough
greenhouses in the US to support growing tomatos for large scale
production let alone the space in them to do so.

  How about this one....
 ooooooooh that looks good.   I tried the USENET and got a lot of
