Mary07,...Thanks Cheryl, happy holidays to you too.<br /><br />Mary07, you can make the tacos as spicy or mild as you like them. The fish isn't especially spicy; you can use as little salsa as you want; the red peppers are sweet <i>poivrons</i>; and the hot pepper vinegar is optional.<br /><br />OFG, we've been seeing reports about the weird U.S. weather. Mexican food seems to be more and more popular here in France. It's true though that French people in general don't like, or they fear, spicy food. I guess they don't have harissa with their couscous.<br /><br />Tim, we've grown tomatillos here in Saint-Aignan too. The reseed themselves and come back like weeds, as do cherry tomatoes. I'm not sure that the tomatillos really ripened well in this climate, however.<br /><br />Virginia, H.Peter, Starman, Judy, Lynn, Nadège, and Mary in Oregon, hope you enjoy the holiday. Happy Christmas Eve to all.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-21537992696342855432013-12-24T05:36:47.995+01:002013-12-24T05:36:47.995+01:00Good stuff, as usual!Good stuff, as usual!Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1435350404133244522013-12-24T03:49:47.234+01:002013-12-24T03:49:47.234+01:00I have some cole slaw in the fridge.

Also, we like finely shredded cabbage. Good stuff!
