Dear Lowlanders,

I've been back from the hospital for two days, minus my left kidney, a 
cancerous tumour and lots of hemoglobine, plus two giant scars, oodles of 
pain and a new lease on life. I sincerely hope that this particular monster 
will never raise its ugly head again.

And then I came across this link... it nearly killed me because I laughed so 
hard that I thought my scar had burst in two, and my husband had to close 
the browser window just so I wouldn't look at it again, hee hee... it was 
sooo painful!

It's a website featuring Turkish recipes which was obviously first 
translated into English, then into German, both by machine translation 
(Babelfish). This resulted in highlights such as "KunstiErwürgt-Salat" 
(ArtiChoke - this was the one that almost got me!), "Blutgeschwür-Reis" 
(boiled rice) and "Klaps-Wasser" (tap water).

Here it is, enjoy!

Mit een vrundelike groet uut Stellingwarf (Fryslân),
