Hi Dave,
RH> Guess it probably is partly where you (and the rabbi) live as to what
RH> symbol is used.
DD> That's true with many things not just Kosher symbols.
RH> Agreed, and then there are some that are so universal that there's no
RH> need for an interpreter.
DD> In this country anyway. What we see/expect as commonplace may be
DD> thought exotic in other parts of the world
And what they view as commonplace may be exotic to us.
DD> 8<----- SHORTEN ----->8
RH> Heigh Ho, It's Off To Work We Go is the one tat comes to mind right
RH> away.
DD> Brothers Grimm in 1812 for the story of Snow White. Churchill and
DD> Morey for the song and movie music.
RH> And, probably different versions of the original story in different
RH> parts of the world.
DD> Certainly. Look at how many different versions of a supreme being
DD> there are. Some of make no sense to those from "away".
And many cultures have versions of a catastrophic flood.
DD> I just remember the Mickey Mouse Club from when I was just a school
DD> boy and was ga-ga over Doreen rather than Annette. Bv)=
RH> I saw it in mid 60s reruns, didn't get our first tv until fall of '62
RH> and only one channel. Some years later, my dad tweaked the line in and
RH> we got two channels. Went to college and came home on Easter break
RH> freshman year to find my folks had tied into the cable that brought a
RH> lot of stations from NYC, and one local. Plus, they upgraded to a color
RH> tv set.
DD> Our 1st boob tube had a 4" picture tube that projected onto a mirror
DD> which reflected the programming onto the viewing screen. And the room
DD> had to be darkened to see the programs. That was in 1950. We got four
That was quite the set up! Our black and white set had belonged to my
grandparents. When my grandmother (g'father had passed away) got a color
set, the b&w set came home with us. It wasn't as an involved set up as
you had.
I do remember, on school breaks, watching "The Galloping Gourmet" on the
b&w set. Us kids always got a giggle out of his starting most recipies
with "first you take a short slurp". He brought down the house and a
quick cut to a commercial by starting one recipe with "first you take a
leek.............".
DD> channels - DD> one from an Illinois pioneering Station and three
from St. Louis. The DD> networks were CBS (St. Louis & Champaign), NBC
(St. Louis), and Dumont DD> (St. Louis). All VHF band. UHF stations
didn't begin to appear until DD> '52.
Our first station was out of Albany, 2nd out of Binghamton. NBC and CBS
so we could first watch "The Addams Family", then turn over to "The
Munsters"Thrusday nights before bedtime.
DD> All B&W - no colour untilthe late 1950s.
Steve and I started with a 10" screen b&w in 1975, upgraded to color in
1983 when he went into the Army and got sent to Montery for language
school.
DD> Bread is bread. And you are the cook.
RH> xactly!
DD> A recipe is just a guideline. My usual practice is to make a recipe
DD> strictly to the lists and directios (or as close as possible) the
DD> first go - and then build on that in subsequent versions. And some
DD> Imake up
DD> as I go - like my "Unique Apple Pie" or my hot sauce recipe.
That's basically how I do it, unless I know it's one I can do changes
on. Of course one automatic change is whole wheat flour (either
"regular" or pastry) for the white flour.
DD> Just as a note - you can use regular table salt when making this.But
DD> the iodine will give the garlic a bluish/purplish tine. Won't affect
DD> the flavour ...but it can make things look weird before it'sall
DD> blended together. I've begun using Kosher salt (with the thumbprint)
DD> to avoid
DD> the bruised appearance of the garlic. Remember to adjust the quantity
DD> betwwen table and Kosher salts.
I don't use iodised salt; generally sea salt is on the pantry shelf.
