Hi Dale,

 DS> Good point.  We ran into that when we had tour to the "Italian
 DS> Riviera" on the Mediterranean.  The tap water in the hotel was pumped
 DS> straight
 DS> out of the Med -- salty and brown.

 RH> So you went with soft drinks or the local wine after seeing the water.
 RH> Smart move. Steve said the water in Seoul was so bad (came straight
 RH> from the Han river) that he used a lot of bottled water. He'd fill up a
 RH> 5 gallon container of water on post and take it home (apartment off
 RH> post) to use for cooking, etc. The water on post was treated so it was
 RH> much better than the local, untreated water.

 DS> We did several things.  In the dining area, the wait staff would put
 DS> your bottle aside with your name on it and bring it out at the next
 DS> meal -- whether it was their wine or your water.  We also quickly
 DS> found out
 DS> that everyday at noon a truck came down from the mountains with fresh
 DS> water and you could walk to town center and fill your bottles there.

Always a way around the problem. At least they had some easy fixes, not
like the folks in W/VA had a couple of weeks ago. Makes you realise how
much you use water/how much water you use in a day.

 DS>       Title: Barry's Dark Chocolate Pudding
 DS>  Categories: Dessert, Chocolate, Pudding
 DS>       Yield: 4 servings

 DS>       3 c  Milk
 DS>     3/4 c  Hershey's European Style
 DS>            Cocoa
 DS>     3/4 c  Sugar
 DS>       4 tb Cornstarch
 DS>       1 ts Vanilla
 DS>     1/8 ts Salt
 DS>       3 tb Butter or Margarine

I suspect it would work with stevia as well. I need to do some
experimenting with using it for other than baking. I've used it in small
amounts like for salad dressings and large amounts (half the sugar in
baking) but nothing like cooking in a pudding.
