    Nice for you and your preferences to be
    recognized.

    They may fall down in some departments but must
    be doing something right in others.
    And eventually fall down & can't get up.

    That goes for all of us.

    Let's rule out November for the foreseeable ever.
    Agreed, unless we all decide to move to a location where the weather
    is > good in November. Shall we all move to Oahu and have a luau

    Well, we did live there for 5.5 years...................(G)

    None of the rest of us did, to my knowledge.
    It would take a pretty penny to get people over
    there. If we were to do a fly-in, I'd suggest
    someplace we can get cheap or mileage tickets
    and where accommodations are affordable.

    Bisquick is easily knock-offable, and if
    you use fresh instead of stablilzed
    ingredients, you get a better result for
    not much expenditure of time and hardly
    any of money.
    The main ingredient in it is the flour; we grind our own. Other stuff I
    have to rely on getting it as fresh as I can. It uses salt (not a lot),
    dry milk, baking powder and oil or some sort of solid fat.

    All easily gettable, though, and who knows
    where that Bisquick has been, and for how long.

    Simple Chabad-Style Charoset
    Can't get much easier than this.
    Leave out the wine, and it'd be simpler.
    And taste just as good, just a bit different.
    I suspect that the wine improves the flavor; there'
    s no liturgical reason for its being there.
    Probably a flavor booster then.

    Oh, for sure. Almost every recipe uses it.
    The recipe is supposed to take its inspiration
    from the Song of Songs, which references all
    the traditional ingredients (including wine)
    but does not give guidance on how they are to
    be combined.

    Nona Silvia Bassano of Livorno˙s Italian Charoset
    cats: Passover, condiment, alkoholfrei
    yield: 1 batch

    1 1/2 kg Apples, finely grated
    1 kg Dates, pitted and mashed
    750 g (3 c) sugar
    300 g Almond meal (from blanched almonds)
    1 c water
    2 to 3 ts Cinnamon powder *

    The author says this is the only charoset
    recipe she has seen that doesn't have wine.

    Boil the water and sugar to make a syrup. Add
    the almonds and continue cooking. Add the grated
    apples and continue cooking, stirring constantly
    to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot. If
    too watery continue cooking for more reduction;
    if too dry, add a little more water. Add the
    cinnamon, and cook until the mixture starts
    bubbling and puffing.

    * For a more Yemeni-style Charoset, you may add
    some ground cloves and cardamom, to taste.

    I'm glad someone got that. At least there are
    societies dedicated to the work of G&S; it's

    My dad liked G&S--one summer he spent a lot of his spare time putting my (maternal) grandfather's 78 records onto reel to reel tape. A LOT(!) of
    G&S that got played afterward.


    much harder to find aficionados of Flanders
    and Swann (F&S), my favorite British comedy
    songwriters - the site that offered all of
    their lyrics was taken down a year or two
    ago, and I miss it.

    Any chance of a revival?

    Yes, plus whatever money they won (depending on where they

    That last goes without saying.
    Some people don't consider that part.

    They find out sooner or later.

    Soon as the show ends! Wheel of Fortune is doing open try outs today in Raleigh, tomorrow in Durham. I've no interest in being part of a mob
    where the chances of my application being pulled for a try out are about
    nil.

    I started with the shop when he first opened about 18 months after we
    moved to WF. He worked on my first machine, told me when he could no
    longer get vital parts. Sold me the replacement, didn't know at the time
    that line had problems. I'm on my 3rd Pfaff now; it'll probably be the
    last one I'll need to buy.

    That's very true. BTW, older daughter told me she now knows how to make
    good biscuits without B.... When we were out in 2016, Steve left her
    some sourdough starter. She left it for a while, then started
    experimenting. Told me last night that she finally started using it a
    bit ago, now can make a good "from scratch" biscuit. One small step....

    Ahem...4 years...1957-1961. As I've told other people, I lived in Alaska when it was a territory, I lived in Hawaii when it was a territory (and later while it was a state), now I live in the state of Alaska...and I've been to the territory of Puerto Rico, but only for a month or so, I didn't live there. But
    then again I spent many weeks at Guantanamo Bay, oddly enough I can't remember how many (shakedown cruise on a new ship), all I remember is REALLY BIG Iguanas
    and rum & cokes. :-)
