Been cooking for almost 30 years now.
Recently remembered that Usenet has more than just binary groups.

Enjoys trying to come up with good Eastern European dishes but am probably
really ignorant on the subject.
Potatoes are always my back up (part Irish, so it's not my fault).

Hope to stay around and learn and share with everyone.

Thanks!

Hi ya

It's a great group from the few months I read and posted here.

I wish I could keep up with all the great messages.

Welcome.

"Hey There" from Georgia.
Have you seen the RFC webpage that ChattyCathy organizes?
http://www.recfoodcooking.org/index.html

Goomba

Not yet. I basically got back into Usenet after years of leaching from the
web interface with EasyNews. Felt like it was time to give something back.

I honestly don't remember how I stumbled across RFC. I'm glad I did,
though.

One suggestion though- top posting is not the norm here in RFC.

I honestly thought that I had been trimming in my replies, I guess when you
post at the top it's not as apparent.

Nope, my lurking habits have nothing to do with it. :^P
In short, Glass Walker is from a role-playing game I used to run for some
friends of mine years ago. A tribe of werewolves that deal more with, and
have an affinity for technology.

Honestly, I don't really know off the top of my head (sorry, been a long
day). I've tried making mititei before. Wasn't too bad, but I think it
could have been better. I made a recipe (I'll post it as soon as I can find
the paper it was scrawled on while cooking it) that uses pirogi, kielbasa,
peppers and the kitchen sink. I also recall trying to make something that
was like polenta, but turned out rather horrid. 'Authentic' stroganoff
using buckwheat kasha wasn't a hit, but I enjoyed it.

It's just one of those areas that you find yourself attracted to it in most
every way, but there's no good reason for it.

You're right! IMO: not trimming sticks out like a sore thumb when
you're a bottom poster because you make readers scroll down too far
for your response. Please understand, I'm not accusing *you* of
it.... but poor trimming is a common bottom poster's mistake.

With top posting, it doesn't matter if you trim or not - readers who
are familiar with the thread can see the reply without searching for
it and readers who aren't familiar with the thread can continue down
to familiarize themselves with it.

That's why I don't care how you post, but please be judicious if you
choose to bottom post.

That's the odd part of it. As far as I know, there's nothing even close to
that part of the world in my family. Irish, Welsh, Bohemian, Cherokee,
typical American I guess.

Just always liked the feel of that part of the world.

No they don't. "Walk on glass" isn't the right term and those words
gave me a different mental image from "walk on *broken* glass".

Hunh. Learn something new every day. However, when growing up, and being
told by my mother that there was Bohemian blood in the line she was not
meaning it this way. She meant from the Bahamas, and there was a
possibility that one of our ancestors had land down there.

So I guess Bahamian, maybe? (Not enough coffee, yet.) She was also known
to butcher words, and not even realize it.

So have you been attempting to make food from Eastern Europe without
knowing it wasn't in the Bahamas? LOL It is time to research some
island recipes

Sidenote: Bohemia, was a forest rich area which could provide the heat
that was required to make the gorgeous Bohemian crystal and glassware
that region is well known for.

Nah. I came up with two mental images -- trying not to slip and
trying not get cut to shreds. The latter seems more appropriate
to RFC, hence my clarification...

Actually, as odd as it sounds, I never have cared for 'island' or 'tropical'
