Hi Janis,

 JK> > No problem; it seems I'm in a perpetual catch up mode.

 JK> Really.. life gets crazy sometimes, that's for sure.

Me too; I've been cutting pieces for a scrappy 4 patch quilt top for the
new grand baby. The 4 patch blocks will each have 2 pinks, a green and a
blue square, alternating with a pink gingham block.  The squares are
from 12 different pinks & 6 each green & blue--to be pieced by random
selection. That will be my take along project to work on for our trip so
you may see it in pieces. (G)

 JK> So library paste is an acurate description :) :)  If you're talking

In a sense, yes.  It's not very appealing to look at and doesn't last
more than a day or so. Some Hawaiians (the older folks) like it when
it's sour but it's bad enough (IMO) fresh.

JK> about that stuff we used to use in grade school, I do know some people
 JK> who LOVED that stuff Lol

I never tried it--nor dog biscuits. (G)

>> Hmm.. I'll have to look for it.. never had reason to :)

 JK> > Should be fairly easy to find,especailly in Asian grocery stores.

 JK> Yes, that would be the first place I'd look..

If you didn't find it there, I'd be surprised. A bigger Wegmans, if
they're in your area, might have it as well.

 JK> Sure.. normal 1-2-3-4 egg cake would it, I think.. you know the type I

I think most cakes use at least 2 cups of sugar--at least by the recipe.
Some of us cut that amount by half or so.

 JK> Ah ... NYC had some great drum corps, could be why.. the NY Skyliners
 JK> were incredibly famous and one of the Sr. drum corps. we kept track

I think I've heard of them but can't really say for sure. It's not in my
general area of being aware of--but might come in handy for "Jeopardy"
some time. (G)

Wait until your grand kids get old enough to appreciate it. (G)

I know; we've seen some rather "interesting" ones from time to time.
Helps if you have the movie channels like HBO & Showtime but we don't.

 JK> > With or without nuts?

 JK> Always without nuts.. too many people just didn't like them :)  I
 JK> loved pecans, but understood that not everyone was like me :)

I'd just as soon have them without--more chocolatey goodness to them.

>> ====we didn't bother with the whipped cream :) :) ===

 JK> > Why bother? (G)

 JK> Really.. maybe some gooey chocolate icing.. :)

Leave any icing in the sun or a warm place and it'll get gooey on it's
own.
