[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	I made this a day early, but it was really good (though I made a few tweaks here and there). The salsa was incredible. In fact, it was so good, I'm making tacos tonight just so I can use it up. The tweaks: 1) Added the juice of a lime to the salsa. 2) Added cumin, coriander, garlic powder and onion powder to the shrimp. Chipotle Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Salsa Verde http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/chipotle-shrimp-taco-with-avocado-salsa-verde-recipe/index.html Ingredients Avocado Salsa 1 small onion, quartered 1 jalapeno, quartered, seeds optional 1 garlic clove, smashed 4 medium tomatillos, (about 8 ounces) husked, rinsed, and coarsely chopped 1/2 Hass avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped Shrimp 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon chipotle or blended chili powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 pound medium shrimp (about 20), peeled and deveined 8 corn tortillas 8 sprigs cilantro for garnish 2 limes, cut into wedges Directions Put the onion, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor and finely chop. Add the tomatillos, avocado, and salt and pulse until chopped but still chunky. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro. Heat a stovetop or outdoor grill to medium-high. Mix the olive oil, chipotle or chili powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Grill the shrimp until translucent, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side. Grill tortillas, until slightly charred and pliable, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and heat in a microwave.) Spoon sauce on the tortilla, then top with about 2 or 3 shrimp and a sprig of cilantro. Serve 2 tacos per person, with a lime wedge on the side. -----signature----- http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/ "It's crazy that the board newbies think I am a Liberal and B_T is a neo-con." - Gustaive_MT "God left a very clear instruction to Adam.
