A crying shame your daughter crossed his path. I'm very
sorry you suffered that loss.

LOL! We often joke that Ohio is the land of the long vowl. They
pronounce all their cities with long vowls. Lima is L(eye)ma or

Thanks. You are so right. She was killed in a car accident in 1996 when
she was 21. She was between her junior and senior years of college. I
remember thinking at the grave site that there must be something wrong
in the universe.

The DH's 19 year old sister was killed in a car accident while in
college and within months of his older brother having committed
suicide. I simply cannot imagine what he and his parents went through
or what you went through.

I hope you, and everyone else here, never does. When next you see DH's
sister, please give her a hug from me.

Good Lord, how awful for you, Janet. I can't even begin to imagine how
much sorrow this brought to your family. I'm so sorry.


Thank you, Wayne. Even though it's almost 12 years, I still cry easily
when I think about her.

I was very lucky in that I was chosen to be her mother for the brief
time she was with us.

There is a perpetual scholarship at Ramapo College of New Jersey in her
name, so people will know about her long after I am dust.

Here is a link to a pdf of the college magazine that talks about Cara.

http://www.ramapo.edu/news/magazine/...neFall2005.pdf

That was a nice writeup, and she will also be remembered in perpetuity.
You must have been very proud of her.

Absolutely! It's just plain wrong. That type of loss is beyond
sorrow for me, it's absolutely unimaginable heartache.

I remember when a friend's daughter was killed by a drunk driver who
swerved into her lane - it was a head on collision. Her college aged
(and sober) DD was the driver, all the other occupants in the car
survived.


This was an 86 year old man taking his 82 year old sister to the doctor.

Oh, man... that's just pure heartache for all of the families
involved.

One would have thought so. I even sent a condolence card to their
family. The old man was a bachelor with no children but his sister had
grown children who only wanted to make a big lawsuit out of it.

Which illustrates that tragedies attract opportunists (probably fueled

Nice! What little experience I've had watching my kiddoes cook tells me
that Chris is more likely to experiment and Beck is more inclined to
follow the directions. WhatshisnamehisnameisJamie, however, is inclined
to make it up as he goes along --- especially when baking. Not
especially successfully -- and what do I know about baking, anyway? LOL!

The few she has written down that I'd pass along if I *had* anyone to

My grandmother's German potato salad
My grandmother's German red cabbage
My grandmother's chicken noel (chicken baked in mushroom soup with
sherry) My grandmother's roast pork and sauerkraut
My grandmother's German egg pancakes (like crepes)

Okay, so they're all my grandmother's recipes. LOL. Funny thing is
that I only met my grandmother, twice before she died, and I don't
remember it because I was really little. :~)

Wow, Kili, I would love all of those recipes. I love German food!

The only recipe I don't have is the Egg Pancake one; I'm going to have to
call
my mom for it. They're not as sweet as crepes, but you prepare them the
same
way; thin batter in a hot skillet. They're made with lots of eggs & milk
with
flour and a tinge of salt - and I think that's it. I like them because I
can
use them in place of pasta or I can stuff them with jam for a breakfast.

I'll either give my mom a call tonight or drop her an e-mail. I'd like to
have the recipe back, too. :~)

Ah, you mean Palatschinken.

200 grams flour
2 eggs
3/8 litres milk
1 egg yolk
salt
(serves 4)

Mix ingredients together. Cover and let the mass rest for 1/2 an hour.

Now bake them in a hot skillet in butter. Flip once.

Cheers,

Michael Kuettner


Michael, I've got a recipe (below) for palacsinta from a Hungarian woman
that's been 'modernized.'


Palacsinta (Hungarian Dessert Pancakes)

6 eggs beaten
1 cup milk
1-1/2 cups biscuit mix
Butter for frying

Mix eggs, milk and biscuit mix and place bowl in refrigeratior at least
two hours or overnight. Batter has a tendency to thicken on standing. If
necessary, add more milk to thin the batter and beat until smooth.

Use a small frying pan, preferably non-stick. Place a small piece of
butter in pan that has been heated on medium high heat. Swirl pan to
coat bottom and pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter into pan and swirl to coat
bottom of pan. Brown quickly and turn to brown on other side. Quickly
roll up pancake and put on warm platter in oven; cover with foil. Repeat
until batter is gone.

To serve, fill with strawberry or raspberry preserves and top with sour
cream or cover with chocolate sauce and whipping cream.

Notes: Recipe from Minneapolis Star Taste, January 8, 1975.

I wonder what the pronunciation rules are about that, if there is one.
We also have Medina (Med-eye-na) and Edina (Ee-DINE-a). I am acquainted
with a couple local radio guys, one new in town, one been here for a
very long time. The younger told me once how grateful he was for a
short session with the elder statesman wherein he was told the
pronunciations of a lot of the small towns in the state that aren't said
the way one might expect them to be said. :-) (Shakopee is

Thank you; but there are two problems with that recipe :
(a) The biscuit mix.
I won't get it in my part of the world. If you try my version, you'll
see that it keeps in the fridge. Just stir with an egg-whisk before using.
(b) The "strawberry or raspberry preserves" should read :
Melba's jams and marmelades ;-)
