You know, that's probably true.
From now on, I'm a first generation family trad witch.
And since I don't have any kids, my dogs must be second generation.
And since the retarded one carries a toy lizard in her mouth all day
long and grooms it because she seems to think it's a puppy, I'm pretty
sure that makes it a third generation family trad witch.
Perhaps it'll be willing to look at 'riah willow's claims a little
later on.
Actually, the third generation lizard toy is pretty sure "riah willow"
sounds a little to close to "real willow", and parse/ren watches a lot
of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

All Traditions have to start somewhere. Now this I could stomach as it
makes sense.

Whomever it is, they look to be purposely making Trads look stupid. A
Wiccan with a Grudge? The other option is just too sad.

Okay but, you could just as well claim 13th generation fam trad and beat RW
by one generation.

As long as you trained the toy lizard in wiccery, you've got yourself a fam
trad, flase.

Look at the posting history for hints too - that's sometimes a hoot.

Yes, all traditions started somewhere but, not all were created equally.
For some, the paint is still wet, no matter how 'ancient' the claimed
lineage.

Do you mean like d. brown's absurd posts seem to be intended to give other

Clever woman, aine! I wonder if Willow is as clever? I wonder if she
understands the hidden message within this post.

I doubt Willow can teleport to fields, but she may understand saying
things out loud comes with a price. (muttley laugh)

23rd level allows you Freemasonry or Knights Templar membership. You
can trade those in for 2 Hotels on Broadway but you cannot pass Go!

About as smart as the writers scripted her to be ... what "real Willow"?

the quotes.
I was referring to the scripted character of Willow Rosenberg, of
course... and how it wasn't really that close a comparison because this
Riah Willow doesn't seem to be very bright.

Looked like flase was comparing them phoentically, rather than literally,
(or, literarily). That's for him to say though.

True, and didn't the fictional Willow go Mercurially from light to darkside?

Voodoo Shrimp anyone?
Voodoo Shrimp
----------------------
10-12 medium (21/25 per lb.) peeled and de-veined shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon blackening seasoning
1 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Add olive oil to a sauté pan (i used canola). Turn on medium to high
heat and allow oil to heat for 20-30 seconds. Add the shrimp into the
sauté pan. Lightly sprinkle the garlic powder and blackening seasoning
over the shrimp. Cook the shrimp briefly on one side (approximately
half-way) then flip them over and add the sweet chili sauce (inexpensive
& widely available at Asian markets). Bring the shrimp and sweet chili
sauce mixture to a boil and turn off the heat. Add the unsalted butter
(preferably unsalted butter, as the garlic powder and blackening
seasoning provide plenty of salt) and serve. This dish is excellent
served with rice.
Note: if the chili sauce is too thick just add a bit of chicken stock or
water and simmer a bit. Also, there are some versions of "chili sauce"
such as the Heinz 57 version that are little more than spicy ketchup, i
recommend an Asian version, "Pat Chun" garlic chili sauce is, IMO, very
good for a commercially available product as well as what is commonly
called "Banana Sauce" (i know, but trust me on this one:)
Serving size: One
With a pot of rice the above was easily enough for the 2 of us, and made
a very pretty presentation with the rice heaped up in the middle of a
platter and the shrimp and sauce poured around the edge of the rice,
easy to serve and get both rice and shrimp in a single serving with a
large serving spoon or ladle.
In some versions of the voodoo shrimp coconut is used to coat the shrimp
and as often as not fresh roasted chilies are used instead of a chili sauce.
Below is a local BBQ joints Blackening seasoning, when i make it up for
myself i cut way back on the salt, no more than 1/4 tsp. and i use
garlic "granules" rather than the "powder", and many versions of the
blackening mix use red or cayenne pepper instead of white pepper, i have
a particular liking for the "whole leaf sage" but powdered versions will
probly work well.
BLACKENED SEASONING MIX
1 tbsp. sweet paprika
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp. white pepper
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
Mix all ingredients. We use this to coat chicken breasts, steaks or fish
before grilling.
Here's a NOLA "House of Blues" version of the recipe, a lot more complex
and i haven't tried it yet.
3 3/4 cups Blackened Voodoo Lager beer (see note)
2 1/2 bay leaves
5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon each finely ground black pepper and cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon each dried basil and dried oregano
1/4 tablespoon each shrimp base and chicken base (see note)
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
16 ounces heavy cream
6 medium to large peeled, deveined shrimp, with tail left on
1 ounce butter
2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes
Corn bread (see note)
Cut chives
Rosemary sprig for garnish
In a large sauce pot, combine beer, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce,
black pepper, cayenne pepper, basil, oregano, shrimp and chicken bases,
sugar and cream. Let the mixture simmer until the mixture coats the back
of spoon.
Season shrimp to taste and saute? in oil. Ladle 4 ounces of the simmered
sauce into the pan. When the mixture begins to thicken, add 1 ounce of
butter to the pan. Add tomatoes.
To serve, cut a wedge of corn bread in half. Toast halves if desired.
Place bottom half in a shallow serving bowl and top with shrimp and some
of the sauce. Add chives. Place remaining wedge of corn bread on top and
garnish with rosemary.
Recipe note: Blackened Voodoo Lager beer is sold at large, full-service
liquor stores and some larger supermarkets. Shrimp base is a paste-like
flavoring agent sold in specialty stores and larger supermarkets. At the
House of Blues, this shrimp is served with their signature rosemary corn
bread.
