Very sad, but the SBC has honored her by naming its annual Christmas offering to support foreign missionaries (outside North America) for her. She was able to make friends with the Chinese, especially

children, > with her home made sugar cookies.
Not that that retroactively made her sufferings
more bearable.

True, but it honors the work she did and helps support those carrying it
on.

Not being a fan of tributes, that kind of thing
isn't for me, but if it encourages others to do
good things, all the better. Same with a lot of
customs, birthday parties among them.

I probably would have done as my parents wished when I was younger.

Tolerate, sure. Endorse, no.

Kids can get away with it easier than adults, but the line has to be firmly drawn for them as well.

In my opinion it should be drawn early and
definitively.

Quite so, cute isn't so after the first time.

To me, as I'm showing my puritanical side today,
it never is cute - the question is how long it
should or can be tolerated.

Almond macaroons
categories: cookies, American
yield: 16

1 c whole almonds (preferably blanched)
2/3 c granulated sugar
1 lg egg white
1/4 ts almond extract
confectioners' sugar for dusting
16 whole almonds

Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a baking sheet.

In a food processor pulse almonds with granulated
sugar until ground fine. Add egg white, almond
extract, salt and pulse until combined. Roll mixture
into 16 1" balls and arrange 2" apart on baking
sheets. Slightly flatten balls and dust lightly
with confectioners' sugar. Gently press 1 almond
into each cookie.

Bake macaroons in middle of oven 10 min, or until
pale golden. Alternatively, for a chewier texture,
turn off oven after 7 to 8 min and let sit for 2 to
3 min. Transfer macaroons to a rack and cool
completely. Macaroons keep 4 days in an airtight
container at room temperature.

Hi Michael,

isn't for me, but if it encourages others to do

customs, birthday parties among them.

Some things are worth it, others not so. We pick and choose carefully
where we want our money to go to--a group can sound good but if it
spends too much for overhead or isn't a recognisable charity.......our
money doesn't go there.

No, we all make our own decisions, good or bad.

Very much so from what I understand. We've yet to get over to the
restaurant but maybe one of these days.........................

A waste of time and money as far as I'm concerned.

There are numerous certifying authorities,
the Orthodox Union being one of the most
common. Where I was growing up the K in a
circle was prevalent (Organized Kashrut

I've heard that about 2 rabbis/3 answers. There are so many ins and outs
to the rules of Kosher certification that it must be a full time job
keeping track of it all.

Some things are cute, a kid playing with food/separating it out like
that isn't one of them.

Not always easy to find that information out, but worth looking for.
The two major charity/recycling stores in our area are Salvation Army
and Goodwill. I think that both are reputable. SA is not for profit.
Goodwill is a for profit organization but does good work. What really
raises my hackles is when we get phone calls soliciting donations for
AmVets. There used to be AmVets stores in the area, but there are none
in the entire state anymore. Those donations go to junky thrift stores
that are (IMO) for profit stores.

Hi Dale,

Steve just did a job for somebody, told them to make a donation to the
USO in his name. A military connected charity is usually (but not
always) a good choice. Some, tho are scams.

raises my hackles is when we get phone calls soliciting donations for AmVets. There used to be AmVets stores in the area, but there are
none in the entire state anymore. Those donations go to junky thrift stores that are (IMO) for profit stores.

We're getting a lot of junk calls from out of state (even tho we're on
the cell phone DNC registry). Steve got one today from Idaho, asking
about issues in NC--he hung up and asked me "what does Idaho know about
NC issues?". In a word, nothing.
