Xopher, it's the taste of the mayonnaise, not the egg in it; I eat scrambled eggs all the time. Sour cream might work.

Marilee, ricotta sounds like the perfect thing. I'll have to try that.

I stayed away from eggplant for a long time, because my mother used to make a dip from it that I thought looked really weird. (Not quite babaganoush--just roasted eggplant and garlic). One day I was visiting an aunt, and she talked me into trying her eggplant dip, and I admitted that it was quite tasty, and she then pointed out that this was exactly the same dip that my mother had been making all these years.

Teresa's recipe sounded wonderful until she added mayonnaise, because, for me, mayonnaise induces retching. What would you suggest as a replacement for mayonnaise?

I love cilantro. When I want to eat potato salad, I make a recipe from one of my Chinese cookbooks that has a dressing made out of sesame oil, vinegar, cilantro, and scallions. Hmm, maybe I'll make that for dinner tonight.

I have no particular fondness for sweet potatoes, and, Kylee, thank you for not liking mangoes. I grew up in south Florida, and we had a mango tree in our backyard, so I know very well that I don't like the taste of mangoes, but for years, people kept trying to get me to eat them.

Oh, and count me as one of the people who likes raw onion. One of my favorite childhood snacks was a slice of bread, buttered, with thin slices of onion and/or radish. Yum!

No, I don't see pictures when I read, but I often dream books. I'm reading a book, and then I'm in it and everything's happening the same way, and I know what's going to happen and sometimes I can prevent the bad things.

Sigh. I miss Tara.

Teresa, when you added that bit of verse by Virge, you forgot to put in a close-italics tag, so most of the rest of the page is now italicized.

Oops. Sorry about the double post; Opera wasn't responding, and I thought I hadn't really clicked on the post button.

Teresa,

I was visiting links, and discovered that Bill Altreuter's blog has moved: he's now at http://outsidethelaw.blogspot.com/

Xopher,

King Arthur Flour carries a really good black cocoa powder (I've never used it straight, but even mixed half-and-half with regular it made my chocolate cake impressively dark.)
