==============================
 ML> The alcohol should have a preservative effect if anything.
 GJ> So Kevincorpse should last forever.

As long as the stuff exists in sufficient concentration in
his tissues. For him, of course, that might be indefinitely.

 GJ> Hmmm  A bit difficult if that man is facing you all the time.  Turn to
 GJ> one side...
 ML> In front of me???
 GJ> Isn't that where your conductor stands?  He needs to be in the right
 GJ> place to watch your bow and get his cues from it.

1. He's not facing me.
2. In orchestra, we get back to the old oboe situation, which
we were talking about before. Anyhow, tuning is done before the
conductor appears on the scene.
3. The cue thing is one of the most correct statements you have
ever made, though you made it in jest.

 GJ> It does my soul good to hear this morning that USA is reaching out the
 GJ> hand of friendship to Cuba.  Soon you should be able to legally savour
 GJ> the fine rum from there.

I'm not sure that friendship is the operative term, but let that
pass. As I've had Cohibas and Cuban rum, this isn't going to be
of major import to me anyhow, unless United starts running cheap
flights to and from Habana.

 -=> Glen Jamieson said to Dave Drum <=-

 GJ>   GRAHAM CRACKERS.................DIGESTIVE OVALS [*]
 GJ> Hmmm.  Not sure about that, as I don't know either of the above.

I've seen digestives in Australia. They are sweetened wholemeal
bickies (crackers, cookies) that go well with whisky and badly
with everything else. Hence the name "digestive."

 GJ>   GRANULATED SUGAR................CASTOR SUGAR
 GJ> Castor sugar is very fine - your confectioners' sugar.

Neither. Caster (castor) sugar is superfine sugar. Confectioners'
sugar is superfine sugar adulterated with 3% cornstarch.

 GJ>   KARO............................GOLDEN SYRUP [*]
 GJ> We have no Karo or HFCS (shudder) here.  All ours is from cane.

Karo is ordinary FCS. 

 GJ>   SALT............................Weaker in Australia (Salt is Salt -
 DD> NaCL)
 GJ> Agreed.  They are nuts.  All of ours comes from the sea.

Ours might be more refined, though I didn't taste any difference.

 GJ>   SHALLOTS........................SPRING ONIONS (Spring onions are baby  
 DD> onions - shallots are a different deal altogether ... like leeks
 GJ> Not here.  Spring onions are like very small leeks or large chives.
 GJ> (g)  Sometimes called shallots, but the real shallots are different
 GJ> again, rather like garlic sized onions.
 GJ>   SPRING ONIONS...................SHALLOTS (see above)
 GJ> Obviously the writer doesn't know, either...

Glen is correct.

 GJ>   TOMATO PASTE....................TOMATO PURÉE[*]
 GJ> Is it?  Here tomato paste is a thick, concentrated form of tomato
 GJ> puree.  Usually labelled "triplo concentrato".

No. Paste is paste; puree is puree.

      Title: Hungarian Listys Cookies  (Csoroge)
 Categories: Hungarian, June meyer, Cookies
      Yield: 24 servings

      3    Egg yolks
      1 tb Sour cream
      1 tb Granulated sugar
      1 tb Rum or whiskey
        pn Salt
  1 1/2 c  Sifted all purpose flour

  Place in the center of a bread board one cup of flour.
  Make a dent or well in the center.

  Add the whole yolks, sour cream, sugar, rum and salt.
  With a fork mix until the liquids are well combined.
  Gradually work into the flour.

  The dough should be of the consistency of a noodle dough.
  Knead for a few minutes to make the dough smooth.

  Split the dough into 2 portions.

  On a lightly floured board roll out each section until paper
  thin. If you have a pie crimping wheel, use it to cut the dough
  into squares of 3 1/2 inches or a rectangle of 3 1/2 by 2 1/2
  inches. They will have beautiful serrated edges.

  With a paring knife make three or four gashes about 2 to 2 1/2
  inches evenly spaced. Fry in a deep fat (Lard preferred, Crisco
  OK) until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with
  sifted confectioners sugar.

  Listys are those wonderful crispy, light as a feather fried dough
  cookies always made for Weddings. They look so beautiful when
  piled high in a pyramid on a cut crystal platter. These pastries
  would also be made for a Sunday dinner and served with coffee
  after a meal of Beef Gulyas or Chicken Paprikas. It always left
  traces of powdered sugar on your upper lip, and sometimes on the
  tip of your nose.

  Regards, June Meyer.
