The legality of gay marriage comes up in Parliament regularly.  At
present it is complicated by one of the lady members being about to
become a "father", as her female partner is about to give birth (with
a little cooperation from a male friend).  We didn't get any
hurricane, but on the contrary, lots of lovely winter rains and a
record wheat crop forecast.

      Title: Hungarian Egg Coffee
 Categories: Hungarian, June meyer, Beverages
      Yield: 40 Servings
 
      1 lb Medium ground coffee
      1    Raw egg, washed
    1/8 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Cold water
           Fresh whipped cream
           (optional)
 
  Mix into one pound of coffee, the egg yolk, white and crushed egg
  shell. Add the salt and 1/2 cup of cold water, and mix everything
  together well. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. Use
  coffee mixture as you need it.
  
  Do not keep coffee mix longer than a week in refrigerator.
  
  Bring the required amount of water to a rolling boil, and spoon in
  your usual amount of coffee grinds (with the egg mix).
  
  Stir rapidly to distribute the grounds in the boiling water. Let it
  come to a boil, and have a cup of cold water handy to throw into the
  pot to keep it from boiling over.
  
  Turn off heat and let coffee settle to bottom of pot. Keep hot, but
  do not re boil.
  
  Serve "mit Schlag" (with whip cream).
  
  Coffee was first introduced by the Turks in the early 1500's.
  Hungarians have been enjoying it ever since. Where ever Hungarians
  mingle you will find coffee and Kipfels. Coffee for a large crowd was
  made in a large pot of boiling water over a hot fire. The coffee
  would be freshly roasted and then ground, mixed with raw eggs
  including the shells and salt and then dumped into the hot boiling
  water. It would be quickly stirred around and then the coffee would
  foam up. An amount of cold water would be thrown into the pot to
  sooth the foam and let the coffee settle down. All the egg particles
  and egg shells will collect with the grounds at the bottom of the pot
  and the coffee then is poured off into smaller coffee pots to serve.
  Such wonderful tasting and clear coffee you can only imagine. The
  aroma is mouth watering.
  
  You can make Hungarian Coffee if you do not use a modern automatic
  coffee maker. The coffee makers water is just not hot enough to make
  the egg coagulate with the grounds. But if you use a perculator
  method, where the water is brought to a rapid boil, or if you use a
  Chemix hourglass pot where you boil the water, or if you use a plain
  old coffee pot where you set the pot on the fire to boil and then
  throw in the grounds, you too can make Hungarian Coffee.
