 -> On another subject; over Christmas, while my dentist was unavailable,
 -> I suffered a tooth abcess which became quite painful.  I treated it
 -> with non-chewable food, Nurofen and occasional mouthwash of rum, and
 -> it has subsided considerably.

 DS> I ate very little of anything, because simply swallowing caused me so
 DS> much pain.  On Thanksgiving, I had some dressing and a bit of mashed
 DS> potatoes, both diluted with gravy.  I stayed medicated with a 
 DS> variety of whatever was on hand - finished off a bottle of Metaxa that
 DS> Michael had left here, killed another litre of Canadian whiskey, and
 DS> the remains (about half a liter) of a bottle of Bundy.  Also used 
 DS> Ambesol, a benzocaine preparation, to help numb the area between 
 DS> drinks and swishes, and Tylenol.  I called it my OL Treatment:  
 DS> AmbesOL, TylenOL, and AlcohOL.  Worked pretty well; by the time my
 DS> dentist was available again the swelling was almost back to normal.

I am lucky to live in a small town where I am well known and
there are a lot of people who, having been well taken care
of by me in the past, feel a need to be helpful. Once I broke a
tooth on a shotgun pellet hidden in a wild duck breast; I was able
to call my dentist at home on a Sunday and see him in half an hour!
And the bill waited until Monday when the rest of the staff was in;
they mailed it to me later. (He got a bottle of wine that Christmas
as well as his regular 25% surcharge over and above my Blue Cross
coverage.)

 DS> Gonna need a root canal pretty soon, though.

They are not painful these days, what with all the new and improved
equipment and techniques, just tediously long.

      Title: Raisin Bread
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 2 loaves
 
      1 c  Milk
    3/4 c  Water
    1/3 c  Butter or margarine
  6 1/2 c  Flour; to 7-1/2 cups
      6 TB Sugar
  1 1/2 ts Salt
      2 pk Dry yeast
      3    Eggs; room temp
    1/2 c  Sugar
      2 ts Cinnamon
           Butter or margarine;
           melted
     12 oz Dark raisins
  
  Combine milk, water, and 1/3 c. margarine in a saucepan. Heat
  until liquids are very warm (120-130). Margarine doesn't need to
  melt. Place 6 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast in Bowl. Mix for
  about 1 minute, then gradually add eggs, then warm liquid. Mix
  until smooth. Add remaining flour until dough clings to dough hook
  (or becomes unmanageable for your mixer). Remove from bowl and
  knead for 10 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place
  in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm
  place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 35 minutes.

  Meanwhile, combine 1/2 c. sugar and cinnamon. Punch dough down.
  Little by little, knead in those raisins until distributed evenly.
  Divide dough in half; roll each half to a 14x9" rectangle. Brush
  lightly with melted margarine. Sprinkle each with half
  cinnamon-sugar mixture. Beginning at the 9" end, tightly roll
  dough and shape into loaves. Place in 2 greased 9" loaf pans.
  Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in
  bulk, about 35 minutes. Take the loaves AND the towel out of your
  oven (towel flambe just ain't that chic, folks). Place oven rack
  on lowest position. Loosely "tent" aluminum foil over top of each
  loaf. Preheat oven to 375~. Bake for about 40 minutes; remove foil
  "tents" and brush tops of loaves with margarine. Bake 5 minutes
  longer.  Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
  
  NOTE: Best to toast this in a toaster oven inasmuch as the
  cinnamon swirls tend to "separate" a bit.
