Dear Susan,

I too wondered at the 'dead air" after my posting--no bother, you can`t win 
'em all.
For those of us who MIGHT be interested, the painting which appeared in the 
Sept. 2007 issue of "Smithsonian" mag. on page 79, is by a Dutch artist, 
Albert Ecckhout, c. 1641 (!!!!!!), and is of a Brazilian Yapua "Indian" 
woman.
Good Growing,

Julius

Here is his recipe- yikes~!
Julius, what was the name of the painting?

Aha!    A NEW recipe comes to mind!---
           ''Soup/calaloo of immature Xanthosoma leaves, cooked together
with neighbor`s arm and fingers, and boiled with 'chubas' of Xanthosoma,
with roasted and peeled Montrichardia 'nuts' floated on the side".
Desert --- a calabash-bowl of ripened and "river-chilled" Monstera deliciosa
fruit,  mixed with sun-ripened 'pois doux',  a-la-cart." !!!
NEXT year`s I.A.S. banquet in Miami can`t come around fast enough!!  "Bon
appitite" to all!

Good Growing,

Julius
