That's probably just as well. My good intentions and resolutions tend to
last a week or two at most. [G]

 RW> Besides, 'borderline' doesn't mean I don't indulge in

This echo has pork eating vegetarians and now flesh eating vegans. I'm
getting all confused. My brain hurts!

RW> I'm just choosy in what that flesh will be.

I'd like to think we're all that way here but then you've read Dace Sac's
junk food reviews and Michael Loo's leftover reports so you know that's
not true. [G]

I know several semi-vegetarians here in the north who will not eat
farm raised and factory slaughtered meat or poultry or commercially
caught seafood but will occasionally indulge in modest amounts of wild
fish and game as it is additive free, organic, free range, ethically
killed and sustainably harvested.

     Title: Newfoundland Lassy Mogs
Categories: Canadian, Cakes, Info

           molasses cakes

Lassy and lasses are common short forms for molasses on the island. Mogs
are small cakes made of flour, baking powder, butter, salt, etc. When
sweetened with molasses instead of sugar, they are, of course, lassy
mogs. Mog may derive from a British dialect verb that meant "to go
slowly" because the little cakes rose slowly when baked. But Mog and
Moggy were also dialect nicknames for Margaret in certain rural areas of
the British Isles, so these cakes may simply be lassy Margarets.

Or the origin I think most likely: mogs may have been made at first by
stamping out the dough with a cutter consisting of an empty mug turned
upside down.

A few years after I introduced the term "lassy mogs" to Canadians "from
away" in my book Canadian Food Words, the President's Choice folks came
up with a commercial version of these cookies. Here is some of the ad
copy written by President's Choice copywriters: "In an earlier era in
Atlantic Canada, the "lassy mog" was a classic home-baked treat. Its
charming name is derived from the local dialect for the region's widely
used sweetener, molasses ("lass") and small, low-rising cake ("mog").
Intrigued by the name and inspired by the wholesome ingredients used, we
created the PC Lassy Mog cookie - a soft, irresistible treat with a
rich, homemade taste. Made with butter, dates, raisins, molasses, pecans
and a blend of spices.
