Quoting Michael Loo to Ruth Haffly on 03-31-19 16:20 <=-

Thanks. I figure that there are a few of us who
through our participation, habits, and rituals
keep this echo going. Most of the time I think
it's worth it.

I'd miss it if we had to fold--would have to come up with an alternative
way to keep up with each other.

Yeah, that's kind of the way I feel too. We've
had people offer to turn us into a mailing list,
but that's private private and doesn't offer even
the hope of fresh blood.

Not something that I'd like, either... it's much better this way...

I've made a repectable facsimile of galaktoboureko
using CoW, cream, and eggs.

Not sure if I'd try it or not.

Beware, you might find a potful of it in
your kitchen, unless you absolutely banish
it to the backyard with the beer.

That actually sounds decent... :) (the facsimile, not the beer or the banishment...) You probably wouldn't have thought much of it, but I
used to do something similar with Wheatena, stirring raw eggs into the cereal... cream might have been even more helpful... :)

Well out of my epertise - I have them, mostly
the miniatures, when at friends' houses, such
as Gail and Dale's.

We've bought them for trick or treaters and ended up with left overs but usually not bought them for ourselves. Used to buy the Hershey's mini assortments--Steve would tell the girls to save the special darks for
me. (G)

They have bags full of Special Dark, which are
of course the best of their offerings, but guess
what - they have milk in them! Not enough to
bother me now, but plenty to cause me distress
when I was at my most intolerant.

We get the Special Dark assortment bags... but I don't think they had
them back in the days when the Haffly girls were little... just a few
Special Dark thrown in with the regular chocolate, peanut and rice
varieties... now there's peanut and rice types in the dark chocolate,
too... :)
