suppose...?

17 years ago

I have a package of dried chili mango slices from Trader Joe's.

Suppose I sliced up a big sweet onion and cooked it, with about 1/2 a diced red bell pepper until soft.....

And suppose I chopped that package of chili mango slices and added it to the onions and peppers and added about 2/3 cup of vinegar....and 1/2 cup brown sugar....and cooked it a while...

Do you suppose that would be good with lamb as an altermative to mint jelly?...or should I save that idea for a pork roast?

Sounds good, but I think that combination would be better with pork. Might it over power the lamb?

It sounds like it would be a mango chutney, so I am thinking poultry for this. But is sure does sound good.

UPDATE: - So today they came to address some fabrication issues. Specifically markings (made with some sort of white-out marker) made during the fabrication process. They didn't indicate how they were going to get them out (and then reseal with a 25 year sealer (is there even is such a thing?)). They were supposed to address oddly cut corners on a narrow (bar shelf for lack of a better description) that should have been straight on the sides and the demi-bull across the face. What they did was attempt to wrap the demi-bull edge around to the flat sides. Needless to say it looks crappy. They were to address an poorly cut notched corner. 1) Markings.. - HOLY C...!!! What a horrible job they did. I wasn't here but my wife said they used steel wool to get the marks out. One set of marks (looks like the stain from the bottom of quart size can and some words like "Saturday" (or delivery day). What happened was they ruined the factory polishing in those areas. It looks really bad. Apparently the used the same method for the rest of the smaller markings. I don't know what they sealed it with but the previous sealer actually looked good. It had a nice shine to it. This is much duller and you can see even more swirl marks than before. 2) They said there was nothing they could to about the oddly cut edging on the bar shelf. They didn't have any more material to make a new shelf. 3) The other poorly cut corner was actual done well. Lastly, their customer relation skills for this crew (of 3 and different than the other 2 crews sent previously) were horrendous. They were rude and condescending to my wife. So tomorrow I have the job of contacting the fabricator and conveying our displeasure. *I* really want to tell them to issue a full refund and come get the counter tops. Hopefully they will cooperate since they have botched this from the get go.

Siegler heater - is burner supposed to modulate?
Q
Comments (3)
From your description of the furnace operation, it sounds like your gas valve is a modulating design and is likely operating properly. Regarding the different opinions of the HVAC companies, I find it is quite normal, and bothersome to me, for people to shoot out opinions from the hip without any experience with a particular model of equipment.

Barn 😎 I have seen those pleated pants IRL and they hang just right because of the double pleats on both sides of the zipper. They aren’t as lantern shaped as the pose would suggest with the model’s hand in one pocket. I didn’t get the pleated pants from BB although I would like a pair of white ones, because the fabric is 100% man made, no cotton or wool or linen, and that usually means they jist never hang right after the first washing or dry cleaning. I love these 100% cotton straight leg pants from Toteme: I’d buy them at 50% off, but at $440 they are way more than I’d pay at full price. I’ve been looking for a dupe for these but nothing , not even RL is as well made.

These tiles have a green cast to them but are suppose to be silver
Q
Comments (3)
Most glass tiles have a green cast to them once installed. If you search on the forums for "my glass tiles turned green" you will find many examples. We don't see the problem that often now, as the trendy glass tile mosaics of 2010-2019 are now considered dated. Re-grouting won't change the look.

I never understood the mint jelly thing. Makes even less sense to me than cranberry sauce with turkey.

What about the mint sauce that the English make? I prefer that to mint jelly anyway. I think it's just chopped mint in vinegar with a little sugar.

"Certain members of my family" "NEED" mint jelly with lamb....so that's a given.
I was just trying to think of something else to serve for those who don't "NEED" the mint jelly.

Linda,Does it have to be JELLY? Could it be a mint sauce? We like a mint sauce with lamb, but not mint jelly. Just chop up some fresh mint, add a little honey and some vinegar. Or you can made a more savory mint sauce by sauting chopped shallots, and adding a little beef broth (or chicken) lots of fresh chopped mint, salt and pepper and a little bit of vinegar. If you like a sweet sauce add a little honey. You can also thicken this sauce with a little cornstarch if you want.

I have an older friend from England and she taught me to harvest mint, chopped it up and cover with honey and keep it in the fridge. Then when I want a mint sauce it is easy to just take a couple of spoons of the honey and mint and add vinegar and a little water if needed.

I actually like raita with lamb. I add both cilantro and mint, seeded diced cucumber, and a touch of cayenne to Greek style or well drained yogurt. A little minced garlic is good too. A greek/Indian touch.

Nope......jelly....mint jelly. Preferably Cross and Blackwell's...
That's OK....I NEED cranberry Jezabel with turkey, so I understand.
Thinking the rest of us will just enjoy it with a wedge of lemon and the pan juices....but a grilled leg doesn't offer a lot of juice...
But the cream cheese frosting is good.....I got to lick the beaters.....well since I am the only one in the house....that's a given!
