*Very* different. We speak clearly and you can understand the English we
speak.

So you *could* be related to the old "Hero of the Two Worlds" Giuseppe
Garibaldi!!!

He had a *very* interesting and *very* busy life :-)

offro fame, sete, marce forzate, battaglie e morte. Chi ama la Patria mi
segua.

If you don't want to, don't. You convey what you want to say, well enough :-)

you have been measured,

Ehy, Wayne, I Am translating recipe and I need some info:
1) Can I use butter instead of Crisco vegetable shortening? I don't want to
use Margarine.
2) How much is 1/8 of inch of thickness for the pastry?
3) When you say (at the end of the recipe)..."and set when pie is shaken
sligtly", what do you mean?
cheers and TIA
Pandora

Ps: For the meringue I will use icing sugar (zucchero a velo). Am I right?

Do you live far from Trento?


I'd be interested to see if my friend still lives there.
