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.
