[lace-chat] Reese's peanut butter cups
I haven't found them in Australia either, apparently you can get them in a store somewhere in Sydney, but it is a 2-3 hr drive from here for me with the traffic, so I have learned to make my own, melt some chocolate into one of those make at home chocolate trays, swirl it around, I do one cup at a time, when cool add peanut butter (I have peanuts ground fresh at the health food store so I don't get the sugar and salt - but for true authentic taste get the cheap peanut butter as it has lots of both) then I pour more melted chocolate on top. Pop the tray in the fridge then consume at will - not quite the same, but a reasonable substitute.

[lace-chat] Bombings
Yes, please relax. The chances of being involved in a terrorist attack are very small. The chances of being murdered are very small. The chances of being in a car accident are quite high. By their very nature, terrorists aren't recognisable - your next door neighbour could be a terrorist and you wouldn't know. Outwardly, they live perfectly normal lives, don't wear uniforms and don't have a sign round their neck saying "terrorist". If you worried about it, you'd be suspicious of absolutely everyone, and that would make for a very miserable life. I laugh each time I hear George Bush talk abut the "war on terror" and "defeating terrorism" - can't be done. If it was that easy, we wouldn't have had so many years (nearly 200) of terrorism from the IRA, there'd have been no 9/11, Israel would be totally safe and so on.

[lace-chat] Reese's peanut butter cups
I know that Woolworths in the UK has sold these things at some point, certainly when I was younger. At the time it was probably the only chocolate-y thing I didn't like :o) In London there's also a couple of shops that import American and Canadian foods so if you find one of the shops you should be able to buy the peanut butter cups there.

[lace-chat] fried food
Hello Helene, While there are some Americans who fry a great deal of their food, others do not. Having eaten among friends, I have seen both. American dinners are quite often baked in ovens. As for myself, I only fry eggrolls, which I make a few times per year. Because they are more work to make than other foods and I know that all the oil is not healthy, we just don't eat them more often. Having been raised in a very health conscious manner, I have continued to run my kitchen in the same way. In fact my sons say, "Mom is has her leaves again," when they notice all of the salad greens and large variety of herbs. What are some of the most common ways that food is prepared in Australia?

RE: [lace-chat] Reese's peanut butter cups
>not quite the same, but a reasonable substitute. The trick to make them taste more like a reeses is to add some peanut butter in with the melted chocolate. This changes the consistency slightly and makes the chocolate a bit softer like a reeses. There is a good recipe at http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/home.asp Then add 1/5th of the peanut butter mixture to the chocolate to make them perfect. Yum!

Re: [lace-chat] green tomatoes
it's true! we fry everything. we also boil, bake, microwave and barbecue a lot. frying and barbecuing tastes the best of all types of cooking if it is done right. nowadays after they fry something they recommend you set it on a towel or papertowel to absorb grease. you can also put it in a strainer with a bowl or plate underneath it to catch the grease. america's most favorite foods are fried like fried chicken, french fries, onion rings, potatoe chips, fried fish and hush puppies, hamburgers, pork chops, etc. we do try to get rid of fatty ways to cook. i put my meatloaf on a try inside a large baking pan, put water in the bottom of the pan to keep the grease from the hamberger catching on fire, and then put a lid on top. i also do this to my hamburgers sometimes. i put a pan on the stove top, put a spatter shield on top of the pan, put my hamburgers on top of the spatter shield, and put a lid on top of the spatter shield and it cooks a nice hamburger, but it takes forever to cook. we do a lot of stove top cooking and the best way to do that is by frying. nothing tastes good unless you fry it for most foods. we also eat a lot of soups and stews, but the meat is floured and fried before it is put in the stew. it costs too much to bake in the stove by electricity or gas. it is cheaper and quicker to cook on top of the stove. if you work a lot of odd hours with a lot of nights like most jobs that i have had, then you don't have too much time to cook. i have heard that in england and europe they have to add fat to their meat. our animals are naturally fatter, so we don't have to do that. i have also heard that they are much more thinner than most americans. the french are said to be very thin. i am not sure why that is, but it is true we are fried food finatics. --- Helene Gannac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Susan wrote: > >just out of curiosity, has anyone in the uk or anyone overseas ever > cooked or ate fried green tomatoes? it seems to be more of an > american > southern type of food, so probably not even some of the northern > americans have tried it. all you do is slice a green tomatoe, roll it > in corn meal and then fry them until they are dark brown. salt them > after you pull them out of the hot oil and they are really good > > I've never tried fried green tomatoes, but I always remember my best > friend's > grandmother's green tomato jam.

No Helene, you can get BBQ, flame grilled, smoked, char broiled - whatever your heart desires. Just like in any other country.

[lace-chat] Re: dangers of giving address
i'm not paranoid about it. there are about 3000 or more people with my exact name all over the united states. i also did what another arachne member did and put my last name in where it kept printing up in my email. i had no idea my last name came up everytime i sent an email. but it would not be very responsible to encourage someone to put their first and last name in any email. in the u.s. we hear of children getting raped and people getting murdered all the time from people they met on the internet. i'm not trying to be gory, but i'm originally from detroit, michigan, u.s.a. which at one time was the murder capital of the u.s.a., so i think it was correct to keep citizens there warned and cautious, but not paranoid. even the best police officers in detroit would tell you it is not any better to hide in your house and be paranoid. unfortunately we had one incident when i was in 6th grade where our paperboy came up missing. i am not liing, and you could look this up in the detroit news newspaper archives in either 1981 or 1982 about the incident or the detroit news television news casts archives. the paper boy's name was Kurt Cizio, he was a student at saint cundagunda catholic school that was about 6 to 7 blocks from where i lived. his body was found 2 houses down from my grandmother's house and one city block and 2 houses down from where i lived inside one of the neighbor's house. the man had strangeled the kid, raped his body, bathed him, wrapped his body in a sheet, and put his body in the wall of his attic. the whole time the police were searching for this boy by those houses they heard him hammering away upstairs in his attic trying to close the wall in to hide the body. the police brought dogs in and and they smelled out the boys footprints leading right to the man's front door where he dropped his newspaper off and into the man's house from the backdoor where he dragged the strangled boy in. this wasn't caused from the internet, but things like this happended all the time. detroit city had about 1 million people in it at the time, and there was always something terrible going on. we lived 4 or 5 blocks from where the prostitutes used to sell themselves at on michigan avenue. our neighborhood was close to the railroad tracks and darker lit with street lights than other streets, so the hookers would park in the cars with their johns, do their job, and get out of the car and walk back to michigan avenue for another one. one day my brother was standing in the front of my mother's house and a cop walked up out of no where and asked to borrow his bicycle. my brother agreed, and watched him ride by a parked van where he peeked into the window, then radioed his partner and made an arrest right there. apparently a hooker had brought her john there and was caught. both people were arrested. i think most of this list is from small towns because you wouldn't ask for information like full names of names of cities in new york city, or chicago and not get an argument about how unsafe it could be. not that anyone has asked for anyones last name because they haven't. i'm not trying to scare anyone, but why leave opportunity for anything when you can be safe with knowing already what is already known and no more. the u.s.a. is not a safe place to live and even in small towns there are horrible crimes. england must be a very safe place to live because everyone seems to sherk and overlook the possibilities for a horrible crime to happen. that says a lot of good things about it, but the u.s.a is not a good place to live and if you looked closer at the crime rate in each city, you would see it is not a good place to take any chance with your safety. not trying to scare anyone, and i know this is going to tick a lot of people off, but you should talk to your local police stations and then type the reaction and comments the police had to the suggestion to give any information to anyone on the internet. --- Helene Gannac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Susan wrote: > >i would especially be scared after the bombings both in the u.s.a. > and > london to put a name anywhere. the way things are going we are going > to all be walking around with gas masks in our pocket books next to > pills that clean dirty water, foldable axes to cut out debree of > fallen > building matter, and a cyanide pill to kill ourselves with if we are > taken captive . > > Dear Susan, > > please relax, I don't think anyone in the lacemaking world has got > time to go > and plant bombs around, we are too busy making lace :-).

[lace-chat] 3 Cs to think about
From: J.O. THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT IN 2005: COWS, CONSTITUTION, AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. COWS Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington. And they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow. CONSTITUTION They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore. TEN COMMANDMENTS The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse: You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery," and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians!

Yesterday I went up and down the bread aisle muttering "If I wanted to to eat cake, I'd buy cake!" *Everything* in America has sugar in it. Including *pickles* :) I buy pickled herring (can't find any fresh, from a barrel), ditch its brine, make new brine, then let the herring sit in it for a few days before I eat it... You also use *salt* in everything, including cakes - that's why you need so much sugar :) As to who doesn't have what... Poland doesn't have peanut butter (though you may now be able to buy it, imported). It's an acquired taste, and since I never acquired it, I don't care what the stores here carry. Poland doesn't have salted butter. Since I'm able to find unsalted here, I'm happy. Salted butter is another taste I never acquired :) Unseasoned (hamburger) or over-seasoned (hot-dogs) meat is another thing I never miss. We have our own versions of both, and I pig out on them whenever I visit (just as I do on all other things I can't get in US). DH loves green tomatoes, but he bakes, not fries, them. He indulges in them when the season is almpost over, and frost threatens to kill hte plants. I love the red ones from the garden (he just brought in the first two, today. One for each of us. Yum ) Poland doesn't have sour-mash bourbon - a taste I acquired very fast, so I take a half-gallon with me every time I go :) Poland doesn't *grow* a lot of fruits that are available here - we don't have enough sun - but we have them all; imported. So I knew watermelon from childhood. The list of "t'other way 'round" is mammoth - very few comfort foods from my childhood are available here (esp in a small town like mine). So I either make them myself, or pig-out while in Poland, or settle on half measures while visiting DS in Northern CA (San Francisco has a very good Polish deli) Martha Krieg wrote: I grew up having bread with supper every night, and potatoes every night we didn't have something like chop suey that takes rice - but I don't put bread on the table for dinner, and we often don't have a starchy food with it, either. My mother's mantra had always been: "we are not as poor as the Russians, so we do not have to have bread *and* potatoes (or rice, or pasta) together". The aim was to have a piece of meat (or fish), a starch (potato, rice, pasta, *or* bread, if she didn't feel much like cooking), a raw veg and a cooked veg (the cooked being a soup, as often as not. Otherwise, the raw veg became a piece of fruit). Imagine my surprise, when I came here - to *rich* America - and was offered bread with my dinner, which had a starch on the plate already! I never told my mother about it, because I could hardly wait till she came to visit and was offered same :) Also from Martha: More of a problem even than eating fried food is the non-walkability of American suburbs. And I think that's really the crux of the matter - the lack of exercise. A lot of Polish food *is* fried and, while I no longer cook that way for DH, I still indulge myself once in a while. Not *deep fried* - nobody but a commercial establishment can afford it, and not many Polish foods call for such cooking - but fat does improve the taste (if you eat it right away; let it cool off and its hateful ) to an extent. And, while the restaurant portions here are about twice the size of those I remember from Poland (we didn't have "doggie bags"; you were still hungry, you ordered another dish), at home, they weren't all that small, either - they were sized to suit. My father "ate enough for a legion" and I not much less (once I started eating normally, at about 12), while my mother "pecked around the edges". But. She hardly moved, once she retired and didn't have her daily dose of the walk to and from the tram-stop (ca 3/4 of a mile), while I still had to (and, half of the time, it was simpler to just walk to school or U, than wait for the - crowded - bus to take me the measly 3 stops), and my father had made a fetish of exercising. So, she looked, *almost* like what's now known as "an American whale" in Poland. Though Poland is now getting more and more whales of its own. The food habits are changing, but not much. OTOH, more and more people - of all ages - are spending more and more time sittting (many, many, reasons)... -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
