Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'm good! A little crazed at work, but that's life, I guess. My husband whipped up some pierogies for us when I got home last night (at 9:30, argh!) and guess what he did? He was inspired all by himself to add diced tomato and yellow bell pepper to them b/c there was only a little bit of onion in the fridge. He usually just uses an insane amount of onion when he makes them. (He's not much of a cook, but that is one of " his " dishes to make when I'm coming home late.) I told him that I had just read about adding various veggies to the pierogies in my veg group, but I was impressed that he thought that up all by himself because I definitely had not mentioned it to him that I'd read it here. I had actually thought that he wouldn't go for adding anything but his precious onions, heh. Although he loves his onions, he cries like crazy when he cuts them. He had the notion recently to put on ski goggles while cutting them up. I will post a pic I took of him wearing them. What a goofball! Now to find barley.... I'll probably have to go to the big grocery store to find that. -Craige On 11/2/05, purplepassion <thelilacflower wrote: > > Hey how are you Craige? Now I'm honored. > Yes, this is a good one. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I bought the pearl barley, but if I had it to do again I would have bought it pot, or hulled, I read this : most of this grain is consumed by humans in two forms. The most common is the white, highly processed " pearl " barley that has had most of its bran and germ milled off along with its hull. It is the least nutritious form of barley. The second form it's found in is called " pot " or " hulled " barley and it has been subjected to the same milling process as pearled, but with fewer trips through the polisher. Because of this, it retains more of the nutritious germ and bran. by the way, I tried Donna's " coffee " with the barley and it rocks! hugs, Chanda - Craige Moore Wednesday, November 02, 2005 10:34 AM Re: Re: Hi Craige I'm good!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Can I laugh any harder? I can't wait to see the ski googles, just imagining himin them while chopping onions is a riot. You better get him into our group if he's willing to change his recipe around and add veggies, that's great news. There's still no perogi's where I can find them. I tried last weekend. Barley is very easy to find. It's in a little plastic one pond bag next to beans in the market. Donna Craige Moore <craige.moore wrote: I'm good! A little crazed at work, but that's life, I guess.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 The pic is up. Check now! I also posted one of him and me (no goggles in that one) and one of our cat eating her favorite vegetable. ;-) On 11/2/05, purplepassion <thelilacflower wrote: > Can I laugh any harder?

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks, Donna! Also, Chanda, I will keep an eye out for those different types of barley when I go shopping for it. I didn't realize there were so many varieties. -Craige On 11/2/05, purplepassion <thelilacflower wrote: > > I'm rolling at that picture of the goggles.
