Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

sarameg, will you come and visit and make posole for me?

Sure!

Actually, do you want my halfassed green posole recipe? I think I can come up with it even while not in the middle of making it.

Now you have me wanting it. It actually makes a good summer food if you make the broth thin except for the whole running the stove for a few hours bit.

OK, Kat. Mind you, this is green chile & chicken (not pork) and I might forget something. So add stuff as appropriate. And the measurements are handwavy or nonexistant- ie to taste.

3 or so raw chicken breasts, chopped as small as you can manage.

1 medium large onion, chopped up

A big can of chicken stock (or 2 regular)

a couple or three cans of hominy broken up because it is clumpy (I'm sure you could use frozen)

A 1 lb tub of chopped roasted green chile (or equivalent of such) Or more, if it is plentiful!

Olive oil or butter or some fat- for sauteeing.

garlic, chopped and oregano. Buttloads.

limejuice.

I marinate chopped up chicken with lime, garlic a spoonful of the chile and a little salt for a day or so.

In HUGE pot, in goes stock, some garlic, some oregano, pepper and maybe a little chile powder if so inclined towards color. I add water to the total volume is about 4 qts. Add hominy, bring to low boil.

Saute up chicken. Dump in boiling pot.

In same pan, lightly do onions until just slightly tender, toss in pot.

Toss chile in pot last.

Burbleburble (low simmery boil.) Add a couple or three of shredded corn tortillas (this thicken it up and adds a nice corny taste)

I usually let it burble until the thickness is what I want and the chicken is falling apart nicely. I'm thinking 45 minutes.

Mmmm.

eta:

also, you can probably go lighter on the chicken and hominy, I just like the lumps. The broth flavor comes from the chile, oregano, corn and onions with the stock being the base.

Yummy! We could manage that, one of these days.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, I love recipes in Natter.

And I was totally almost a victim of the gay agenda just the other day -- my friend comes up to me, tells me she has someone she wants to set me up with. She starts telling me about the person and says, "This girl -- GUY! I mean guy! It's a guy!" I was like, yeah right, you want to trick me into being gay like you!

Anyway. My semester is done and may I say? YAY.

YAY! And go team gay agenda!
