Exactly!

I too have recently moved. My present premises have insufficient bookshelf
space, so my books are double-parked & cartonned till I make more. Mind you,
in the packing I made reacquaintance with many that I thought I'd lost
forever---.

Just off the subject, and back on the 'Delectables' string, my grandmother
was a compulsive cook, & something of a scholar of recipes of all nations.
One of her American cookbooks, which inevitably had little use in this
country, used to give us kids fits of hystirics. Elsie might resonate to
this, with her knowledge of our Onderkaaps Mense & their annual occasions:
The recipe was for 'Imperial Ranger's 'Coon Pie'. It started with this
memorable instruction; 'Take one well-dressed coon ---'. Just what will you
do with his green velveteen clawhammer coat & top-hat?

Groete,
Mark

Hi, Elsie

Subject: LL-L delectables

> Mark, only raisins and apricots? Van wa gehasie?

>>>But in our family we know only appelkoos en rosyntjies.

Moet ek diit dan toeskryf aan die kleinspan se kies en keur? Miskien.
Perskes byvoorbeeld het hare, pruime is te skerp, peere is eenders sand in
die mond, en die appels wat jy in ons (bosveld) kontrei kan kry smaak nader
hout as soet.

> But Gabrielle, even Marie biscuits taste good with Advocaat!

Gabriele, everything tastes good it advokaat, & if it doesen't, it doesn't
matter. Mind you, it's best of all if your mother made it - with stuff your
father distilled.

Ron, dankie vir die Rødgrød resep!

Groete,
Mark

Dag, Mark!

> Ron, dankie vir die Rødgrød resep!

Dis 'n plesier, liewe Mark.

I was thinking ... you could make this with other sorts of berries and even 
stone fruit, as long as you don't call it by the same name or, if you do, 
don't let Wolfgang hear it, because he's a purist, and we want to get some 
other recipes from him, don't we?

I think I figured out why it's so good.  Its flavor is fruitier than usual, 
because it's more concentrated and doesn't get muffled by the usual addition 
of semolina.  I think you can make this with sweetener too, especially with 
Splenda, which tastes to most like sugar.  But of course that's not the same 
a brown sugar ...

Tata!
