7. Cous cous is wonderful.

I make a Moroccan lamb dish with prunes that makes a yummy sauce for the couscous. Now you've got me thinking about the next time I'll make it.

I'll bring the margaritas and chips .

[yellerpup]

11. Veggie curry with kale, lentils prepared with shallots and carrots in mushroom broth, minted beets

in yogurt, sweet potatoes in garam masala butter. Brownies and vietnamese coffee for dessert.

Leftovers for a few days!

[yellerpup]

14. I have all those ingredients in my refrigerator.

But I hadn't been thinking of doing them like that--but I am now! That menu sounds killer. Is Vietnamese coffee and product or a method?

[msanthrope]

15. You take a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk in the bottom of a coffee cup and pour

very, very strong coffee--a finely ground blend, over it. Stir, and add hot water if you need it.

[yellerpup]

16. Thanks!

This sounds like the sort of special treat that guests would like. I am allergic to cow's milk, but I could have the coffee!

[jackbenimble]

17. Sweetened consensed almond milk maybe?

There are recipes out there if you google it. Never tried them though I have been considering it to try to come up with something to replace the half and half I use in my coffee every day.

msanthrope your meal sounds great. I may have to try making a veggie curry.

Tonight I had a big salad and a few toasted cheese ravioli w/ sauce.

[yellerpup]

18. Thanks for the tip.

Because diabetes is rampant in my family tree, I wasn't allowed to drink coffee until I could drink it black so I have never added anything like sugar or milk/cream/etc. to coffee. Your big salad and cheese ravioli sounds like a healthy meal that I'm sure you enjoyed to the max.
