<p>Alton Brown had a good recipe. I tried it, I liked it. </p>

<p>NYMom. I had to laugh when i realized it took you almost 8 months from your last post to try them. Now that’s cautious.</p>
<p>Will try the recipe. Ate them as a kid and loved them but the thought of revisiting them makes me a bit queasy. Maybe in 8 months or so. hahaha</p>
<p>mousegray: thanks for that link. Very sad for the people involved. Sounds like a great company to have had a job with.</p>
<p>Okay, NYMom, you have now inspired me to give them a try. Thanks for reporting back.</p>
<p>The cannery story is more than sad, it is an economic disaster in a place like that. There simply are no jobs for those people.</p>
<p>Well, to my surprise, this thread is actually about sardines.</p>
<p>I thought it was going to be about students living in dorm doubles that have been changed into triples or triples that have been changed into quads.</p>
<p>Haha^^ When S spent a couple of weeks at camp at Ohio State U., I thought the dorm rooms packed them in like sardines. 4 boys in an itty bitty space.</p>
<p>But back to the fishy kind…love sardines straight from the can, in mustard sauce, tomato sauce, on crackers, and in gumbo. If you don’t eat crayfish, they are a lovely way to add fish to gumbo! :)</p>
<p>And yes, the spines provide calcium. I learned to eat them as a child…lucky me!</p>
<p>Love sardines–eat them with good rye bread. I like the crunch from the spines. I buy Gallego sardines in olive oil, which are from Spain. I buy them from a specialty market–I’ve never seen these in the grocery store. I have a friend from Morocco who goes on about the delicious fresh sardines that he ate as a child. Once in a while, he’ll get fresh sardines and invite friends over to share. I have to say that the sardines he prepared for us were extremely wonderful.</p>
<p>sax, It took me about 5 months to order the sardines, and another 2 months to actually open two cans and make the recipe! I’ve made it 3 times in the last month…</p>
<p>I admit to being slow.</p>
<p>lol, that’s great.</p>
<p>I love sardines straight out of the can on rye with onion. I am intrigued by the recipes with Mayo, never thought of that. When I was little I removed the spine, but now I need all the calcium I can get.</p>
<p>Love them! Used to have them for a Saturday lunch as a kid.</p>
<p>This thread is so timely/funny. Two weeks ago our family was on “spring break” in FL – just happened that college senior D and college freshman S had the same week off. S was the king of sleeping late every morning, which meant he was then up til who knows when at night. One night he watched a whole program on the health benefits of sardines. That’s all he could talk about for the next several days. We’ll be seeing him on Sunday, and of course I’m putting a couple cans of sardines and a box of crackers in his Easter “basket!”</p>
<p>^^^ Sardines in the Easter basket! I am laughing!</p>
<p>NYMom, I bought all the ingredients for your sardine recipe at the gro. store today.
I’ll let you know how it goes over.
It took three diff. store employees to locate capers for me. Guess people don’t ask for that one very often!</p>
<p>Actually, it was 1moremom’s recipe - but I think I beat her to making it! Let us know how you like it…</p>
<p>I can relate to sardines in the Easter basket. In our house, Santa leaves assorted flavors of beef jerky in DS’s stocking every year. He loves it.</p>
<p>Amazon sells canned fish now?</p>
<p>Where have I been?</p>
<p>Amazon sells all kinds of grocery items. For example, they sell this incredible pasta made in MI:</p>
<p>[Al</a> Dente Spicy Sesame Linguine, 12-Ounce Bag (Pack of 6): Amazon.com: Grocery](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Al-Dente-Sesame-Linguine-12-Ounce/dp/B000FZWSI2/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1269973942&sr=8-10]Al”>http://www.amazon.com/Al-Dente-Sesame-Linguine-12-Ounce/dp/B000FZWSI2/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1269973942&sr=8-10)</p>
<p>This company makes many varieties; the only downside of ordering from Amazon is that they come in boxes of 6. My relatives in MI were raving about a recipe on the bag of spicy sesame linguine, so I ordered it and made the recipe - everyone loved it. I’ve made it 3 times so far, so I’ve gone through half of the bags of pasta that I ordered.</p>
<p>Amazon’s prices are low, too. This pasta sells for almost $4/bag in gourmet stores. Amazon’s price is $2.xx/bag, and if you sign up for regular shipments you get 15% off and free shipping. The regular shipments can be very infrequent, and you can cancel at any time. </p>
<p>I’ve ordered other grocery items from Amazon too, mostly specialty items. The trick is to look for things that are “Prime eligible” - otherwise the item is provided by a different seller, and shipping charges will kill you.</p>
<p>NYMom, do you have to make the sesame linguine with that particular brand? And would you post the recipe? :)</p>
<p>Whole wheat toast, lettuce, mustard, and onions! yay!</p>
<p>I have checked the original article

and it looks like the only two thins we are not eating regulary in our house are pomegranate juice and canned pumpkin. The rest is shows up quite regularly on my table.</p>
<p>Tips for turmeric - I now keep it close to salt and pepper and whenever making eggs I simply sprinkle some . Eggs will become a little more yellow, but the taste is not affected at all.</p>
<p>And I love sardines. Also sprats, but these are very difficult to get where I live.
The other day I visited and Asian Market and saw dried sprouts. How to approach them?</p>
