I got A's in science and math, but English was a real struggle for me. Never above a B. I didn't finish college, but I took a lot of speech and business communications classes. I always got A's for my speeches, but there was always something wrong with my notes. So my grades were usually B+ or A-. I just don't have whatever it takes. All it took was one typo in my speech outline and it pulled me down. I seem to have done pretty well in life in spite of that. Lou |

Recipe for Pineapple
a nonny mus wrote:
> Can someone give me a recipe for fresh pineapple please. One of my favourites is Fraises Sarah Bernhardt. (for 8 - 10 people) Using about 3 - 4 pounds of fresh strawberries, remove the stems and put 2/3 of the nicest ones in a bowl, lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar, add 5 - 6 wine glasses of white wine (or sweet wine of choice) and chill. Puree the rest of the strawberries and mix with about a cup of sugar (depending on sweetness of strawberries and taste) and add to the whole wine and strawberry mixture. Take a whole small pineapple and peel and core and then slice, then prepare a pulp of pineapple by roughly chopping or using a fork to pull apart or shred, canned pineapple in water can be used. Sprinkle this shredded pineapple with about a cup of sugar and reserve in the refrigerator. Prepare about 3 cups of cream chantilly or ordinary whipped cream and have on hand (if not making fresh) 8 - 10 cups of a good vanilla ice cream. to serve; Place a serving of vanilla ice cream in a bowl, flatten the ice cream then, using a slotted spoon, place over this some of the whole strawberries. Cover this with a few tbs. of the shredded pineapple. Top with the whipped cream that has had the strawberry puree lightly folded in, the strawberry puree should be folded into the whipped cream in such a way as to produce an obvious mix of cream and strawberry. Originally this dish had a lace of spun sugar over it and the original recipe suggests the whipped cream and strawberry puree should resemble, or "give the illusion of a beautiful sunset." -- JL |

Recipe for Pineapple
"a nonny mus" > wrote in news:5v9j73F1ld56gU1
@mid.individual.net: > Can someone give me a recipe for fresh pineapple please. First off peel and core pineapple and cut into loverly rings. Make up a sauce of brown sugar, butter and some dark rum, usually equal parts brown sugar and butter and say 1 oz of rum. Irish whiskey or burbon works well if you don't have dark rum. But rum and butter were made for each other. Now grill the pineapple over high heat on your bbq grill rings, you are looking here for nice grill marks as well as cooking the rings. Baste and serve with sauce. Easy, tasty, fast. Fresh pineapple used in stirfries is nice...also add some cashews. -- The house of the burning beet-Alan It'll be a sunny day in August, when the Moon will shine that night- Elbonian Folklore |

As an aside, we've always eaten the cores as well. The circles came in cans and they are very pretty, but try a piece of the core some time. When I was young, I had teenage friends who during the summer, canned "Pine". They said the machine needed to grab the rings so the company removed the cores to fit a sleeve. Granted the cores are more fibrous but if it is a good pineapple, the center is great too. We eat all of the pineapples that we grow here, but then we have selected the very best to grow  .Yes grilled pineapples are very tasty! aloha, Cea roast beans to kona to email farmers of Pure Kona |

It is only worth doing if the kid/adult who can't write/doesn't know the correct usage is going to be responsive to learning. Unlikley to ever work on usenet. In real life, maybe, but that is also situationally dependant and also person dependant. |

But, every now and then, he'll bring my attention to the way a word is used in something he's reading, if it's something he's never seen before. Perhaps the key concept is laziness, or lack thereof. |

I can't deal with alcohol in any form, and there is no way all of the alcohol evaporates during cooking. Thanks, Jimson |

McCormick brand contains 29% and 35% alcohol, respectively Pineapple smoothies are a normal thing in Hawaii. I think it is just pineapple, ice and some thing like yogurt or ice cream all blended up. aloha, Cea roast beans to kona to email farmers of Pure Kona |

Being curious about everything is a great motivator to learn and those who are curious and get off their arses will continue to learn through life. Your son is doing that it seems. |
