assistant: By the time anyone sees this, it WILL be Saturday,so what the heck.<G>
The problem with this area is that the people are from literally everywhere!
Typical includes Chinese, Indian, French [esp. Canadian French], Italian,
Polish, German, Ashkenazi Jewish, and Vietnamese.  Pick a few.:-)
How do we eat here?  Typical locals do the microwave thing, when they're
rushed they'll do take-out......    Pitiful really.
But if you insist, this is something that seems to jump cultural gaps with
great ease and relative rapidity.  Traditional American cookie jar cookies:
Snickerdoodles [aka "the Lobsterfest Cookies"]
Mix together thoroughly:
1 cup soft shortening [vegetable shortening]
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
Sift together and stir in:
2 3/4 cups sifted flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda [sodium bicarbonate]
1/2 tsp. salt
Chill dough.  Roll into balls the size of small walnuts.  Roll in mixture of
2 TB sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking
sheet.  Bake until lightly browned, but still soft. (These cookies puff up at
first, then flatten out with crinkled tops.)
Temperature: 400F (mod. hot oven)
Time: Bake 8 to 10 minutes
Yield: about 5 dozen 2-inch cookies

assistant: Hello Kevin,
As you have asked me so nicely, I will tell you what I ate tonight
(Saturday)
Nothing at all special.
Stir fried beef and basil (except I used some nice 'roo fillet steak
instead of beef), with sweet potato leaves cooked with a spoonful of
water, just brought to the boil, stirred a bit, then turned off and a ts
of bagoong shrimp paste mixed in, and some oven baked vegies - snake
gourd, potatoes and small eggplants.   A synthesis of Australian,
Melanesian and S E Asian.
All washed down with a few glasses of a chateau cardboard Berri
Riesling.
So what did *you* have?
	Cheers from Glen in Darwin

old-fashioned recipes to make things stiff.  It's still used in egg whites,
when making meringue, in frostings, and in candies.  My German dictionary
doesn't list the word, and my French one uses "tartre" instead - same word as

assistant: It's potassium bitartrate, according to my American Heritage Dictionary.
It's a natural product of wine-making, though I'm not sure how they prepare
the modern commercial product.
Actually, I AM a chemist, but since all my good reference books were at the
University lab where I work, I had to resort to the common reference source!

Hell folks..cream of tartar...it help the meringues hold stiff

without it..but here goes
Its actually known as Potassium Bitartrate...KHC4 H4 O6   . Its found
in wine..it forms a deposit  either red or white in wine casks..Hence
the Winestone reference!!....in its purified form..its called Cream Of
Tartar......a slightly different formof it is used in medicine..Tartar
Enetic...causes people to expectoration(vomiting)....and another form
of it..Tartaric Acid  is used as a fixing agent in dyeing..
well thats all from me...I still dont know what exactly it does on a
molecular level....
So where are all the people gone....RECIPIES??
