Hi Dave,
RH> I'll not go into other theological discussions here, just pointing out
RH> a few common misinterpretations.
DD> Much of that book was oral history before being written down. And
DD> people tend to take a good story and "make it better".
RH> I'll not say anything more but my theology is somewhat different.
DD> One god. A gazillion versions.
According to some folks, everything is a god.
DD> There are many ways to celebrate Three Kings Day, including
DD> exchanging gifts and cooking traditional foods such as entremeses
DD> appetizers, cochinillo asado (roasted sucking pig), fresh seafood
DD> and Cava, a traditionally Spanish champagne."
RH> Sounds good to me, especially the seafood.
DD> That paragraph was lifted in its entirety from the e-mail I took the
DD> recipe from. Hence the quotation marks. MMMMM----- Recipe via
DD> Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
RH> So I question theirs, not yours.
DD> Make the Coloured Sugars: Squeeze a dot of green paste in
DD> palm of hand. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over the paste
DD> and rub together quickly. Place this mixture on wax paper
DD> and wash hands to remove color. Repeat process for other 2
RH> Easier just to buy the colored sugar; I've seen it for sale.
DD> But nice to know if you've none on hand and it's a long trudge to the
DD> market. Just remember not to use Red Dye #3 as it has been declared
DD> a carcinogen and is to be banned in USA.
True, especially if bad weather is set to move in. We were out picking
up some groceries (and supplies to cook for the Legion tomorrow) this
afternoon. Weather is supposed to move in (not sure if it will be snow,
ice, rain or what) on Friday so everybody is out stocking up.
DD> Mr? I'm more likely to have multi-coloured "sprinkles" on hand.
I don't really keep much of anything like that on hand.
