 HN> Parents are notable for not listening to

Mine would pretend to prize what I was saying and then almost
invariably do the opposite. Of course, kids do that kind of
thing to their parents as well, minus the prize part.

 HN> Too bad you can't put his share into

That has been discussed and would involve having a court make
a decision that would be hurtful to him and might cause worse
damage than it prevented. Anyhow, that sort of suggestion
might hold for me as well.

 -> He's come close. Lucky for society there's the paralysis

Luckily, the time for that was most likely when he started
taking this medication he's relying on, and that was several
years ago.

Pooh, but better than nothing.

It's pretty easy to tell a Pinot Noir - you just have to have
more experience, or perhaps pay more attention.

 I could however

It is said that many so-called experts can't tell red from
white when both are served at room temperature.

Whoa, you should have saved one for me to try. And one
for Dirty Dave, and one for Jim, ... .

Will try to remember that.

Double pooh. Those Sox are beginning to live up to the
nickname they had for many years in the mid-20th -
the Dead Sox.

RAVA - MAIDA DOSAI
cat: snacks, vegetarian
servings: 12

2 c Rice flour
1 c All purpose flour (maida)
1/2 c Cream of wheat (rava)
1/2 c Yogurt
1/2 ts Asafoetida
2 ts Salt
2 ts Cumin seeds - OR
1 md Onion, chopped finely (opt)
1/2 Tb Ginger, minced
4 Green chiles, diced
6 c Water
6 Curry leaves, cut in pieces

Mix rice flour, maida, rava, yogurt, asafoetida, salt with water
in a large vessel. The batter should be as thick as buttermilk.
Add more water as necessary.

Add cumin seeds (if not using onion), green chillies, curry leaves,
ginger, onion (do not add onion if using cumin seeds). Mix well.

Pour 1/2 cup of batter in the pan, spreading while pouring. This
batter has to be poured all over the pan since it is a thin batter
(can't spread it like regular dosai batter). Cook both sides of
the dosai on medium heat.

This dosai can be eaten without any chutney as it has onion,
ginger, etc.
