    OK, will probably check it out at some point.

    If nothing else it's an interesting read and an historical trip. The things I have tried from it have worked well. There is a bizarre one, using cayenne pepper for some eye ailments, which I've never been
    ready to try - preferring to eat my chilies rather than stick them in
    my eye.

    I think I'd rather eat chilis than stick them in my eye also. It's bad enough when you rub your eyes after cutting up chilis--no, I usually
    don't wear gloves and yes--, I'm good about remembering not to rub my
    eyes for the most part........but those times I forget, I've paid for forgetting.

    I have never contemplated chilis in my eye -- but then it has happened.
    Is there anyone who has not at least once forgotten to either wear
    gloves or have a good hand washing afterwards.


    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

    Title: Dukka From the Complete Book of Spices
    Categories: Spices, Egypt, Middle east, Nuts, Dips
    Yield: 1 Servings

    125 g Spice- sesame seeds
    75 g Nuts- hazelnuts -or-
    75 g Pulses- chickpeas
    ;roasted
    50 g Spice- coriander seeds
    25 g Spice- cumin seeds
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Spice- black peppercorns
    1 ts Herb- wild thyme, dried-or-
    1 ts Herb- mint, dried

    Dry roast the sesame seeds until lightly browned. Remove from the pan.
    Roast the hazelnuts for about 5 minutes and remove their skins [the
    chickpeas do not need roasting further], then roast the coriander and
    cumin seeds until they darken. When everything has cooled, combine
    all the ingredients and pound or process to a coarse powder. The
    mixture will keep for 3 months stored in an airtight jar in a cool
    place.

    ** This blend of spices with ground hazelnuts or roasted chickpeas
    comes from Egypt. Serve with bread: dip this in olive oil and then in
    the dukka.

    Hi Dale,

    ready to try - preferring to eat my chilies rather than stick them in
    my eye.

    I think I'd rather eat chilis than stick them in my eye also. It's bad enough when you rub your eyes after cutting up chilis--no, I usually
    don't wear gloves and yes--, I'm good about remembering not to rub my
    eyes for the most part........but those times I forget, I've paid for forgetting.

    I have never contemplated chilis in my eye -- but then it has
    happened. Is there anyone who has not at least once forgotten to
    either wear
    gloves or have a good hand washing afterwards.

    It's one of those things you don't think about--until after you've
    rubbed your eyes while cutting up chili peppers. Then it's "rats; I just
    made a big mistake". (G)
