Nautikos, this sounds absolutely scrumptious. I think I might fix that for Thanksgiving instead of Turkey and dressing. Wow. It must be beautiful to look at.

I'm not sure which is worse, Nautikos, watching the pot boil or stirring it
I'm linking to your recipe here for my birthday menu, if you don't mind. If you do, let me know, and I'll remove it. Come by for cake later.

Nautikos, yes to skimming, and yes to avoiding poltiics, when one can
although that particular stew pot is heating up for day after tomorrow. I'll have to buy some rice vinegar.

As far as 'getting into politics' is concerned, you may have noticed that I keep my comments on US politics to a minimum, I am even bored with our Canadian version, for the most part...

I saw the comment, Naut, he's at work, and I'll turn the computer over to
him in the evening, as I usually do. Olive oil does not sound very Japanese, the canola might work better, be more bland, I suppose, what do you think of rice vinegar, in keeping with the Japanese vinaigrrette theme.
And, yes, I'lll get back into politics, I'm having fun right now, good, clean fun, but fun all the same. You should join us, punning is fun.

Blanche,
you might try canola oil Actually, you can also try olive oil, although I have never used it in this recipe. But I think canola would be a good substitute.
BTW, I looked at the Prof's blog. Good post! I also left a comment, of course...

Naut, I am saving this, and since it's my birthday tomorrow, I'm splurging.
What can I use in place of peanut oil, though, the Professor is allergic.

That's good to know, Nautikos, I won't say "I'd never snitch", (never say
never, is another motto of mine), but I'd think long and hard about it, say if they were cheating or about to.

So, if you feel you must, Nautikos, tell MG anything you like, I have
nothing to hide from him, he knows me pretty well, and, although we have our moments when, like all couples we have a difference of opiinion, we're pretty solid. Here's his link:

I haven't priced them recently, Naut, probably $1 or $2 each.
it's not really in the budget right now, although occasionally I splurge. As a core concept, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", while not technically in the Bible, seems to be another good core concept.

I live by the words, "As you do unto the least of mine, so you do unto me"
I do live it, not merely mouth it, or at least I do my very best. Justice and mercy are the two core concepts of JudeoChrisitanity.

O.K. so when are you making this? I even had to go look up avocado see, I didn't know what one was even. Awright, so when you come to visit I learn best by watching. I was that kid in the very back of the class you know? Great post though, but I do a Kraft dinner superbly

I do appreciate the instructions on slicing a mango...I get confused too...and I'll have to smell for motor oil next time. Thanks for the recipe!! Didn't have any avocado tonight at our dinner out!
Thanks for the recipe!!!
