Greetings, Burt,

 ML> From: Recipes of the Stars: Eating like Hollywood Royalty
 ML> by Leo Pearlstein
 
 gj-> Do republicans have such a deep, inner psychological craving for a
 gj-> monarchy that they have to create their own to replace the one they
 gj-> have lost?

 BF> Nah, it's just a term used loosely to indicate 'royalty' of celebrity,
 BF> not blood.

Derived from "Roi".  The usual way of becoming a king these days is by
blood line.  Personally leading winning armies is no longer
fashionable.   Dunno where this leaves the Hollywood pretenders...

An interesting snippet I found, from the kingdom of Denmark...

"Danish retailers aren't supposed to sell you stuff that's past its
use-by date, so if you happen to come across something that's expired,
they offer bribes to keep you happy: a bottle of wine, a packet of
coffee, a box of chocolates or even the same item, non-expired, free.

"And so we have Denmark's Taenk+Test magazine reporting on Siegfried
Jurgensen, a quasi-professional 'date hunter', who hasn't paid for
groceries or wine in 10 yuears.  At the supermarkets where they offer
'new for old', Siegfried simply fills up one trolley with expired
goodies and another with the same but non-expired items, then wheels
them up to the cashier for his free haul.   And then it's off to other
supermarkets for some wine, coffee and chocolates.

"And they say there is no such thing as a free lunch."

      Title: Special Date-Nut Bread
 Categories: Newsgroups, May.rec
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 md Orange
           ;wash skin
      1 c  Soft pitted dates
      2 tb Margarine
           ;melted
      1 ts Pure vanilla extract
      1 lg Egg
           ;fork beaten
      2 c  Flour
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Baking soda
      1 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Chopped walnuts

  Grate the rind from the orange . Squeeze juice into a measure cup
  adding boiling water to measure 1 cup. Chop dates in a food processor
  into small bite size pieces. Combine dates, rind and liquid. Stir in
  melted margarine,vanilla, egg and blend well. Combine flour, salt,
  baking powder and soda and beat well into
  
  date mixture. Stir in nuts. Bake in a greased and floured and wax
  paper lined pan ( 9 x 5 loaf ) and bake 350F 45 minutes or tested
  done with wooden toothpick. Remove from pan and cool well. Wrap and
  let sit overnight. Slice the
  
  next day. Note: I've been told my recipe is outstanding. Even date
  haters enjoy this! We eat it plain for breakfast but adding a cream
  cheese spread makes it even more special. I often bake many of my
  quickbreads in those disposable French style wood bread pans found at
  specialized kitchen stores..Bread  freezes well.
