=======================
 NB> I'm inclined to think that humor has a pure form and a corrupted form,

Perhaps, but I'm not willing to say whether the plus cruelty
version is pure or corrupt. I can see humor's origins perhaps in
Ug having a leg of lamb and Og not having one, and Og hits Ug
over the head and says, oueh oueh oueh, Cro-Magnonese for
joke's on you, while Ug says ouch ouch ouch, Neanderthalese
for ouch ouch ouch.

 NB> with what you see as historical as more of a perversion of what it
 NB> should be...

Exactly. What it should be. There should be world peace,
sufficient foie gras for all, and no bullying or cruelty.
As opposed to what it is.

 The ability to laugh at oneself, and to find the good in
 NB> things is a good gift...  Using it to belittle others is a perversion.

According to our ethics, us who have ethics.

 NB> Perhaps, given where we now stand...  But I think it still useful to

 NB> it being healthful...  :)

I don't think I said - certainly didn't mean even to imply -
that humor is a bad thing or that I don't appreciate/believe in/
practice it. There's no doubt a continuum, and I'm focusing on
the one end (why, I'm not sure, but perhaps some event triggered
this), and you all are focusing and trying to bring me to the
other end.

I'll bet yours were per serving. Any dairy product, unless it's
been lab purified, is going to have lactose, and that's a carb.

 NB>> Happy birthday...  :)
 ML> It wasn't really my birthday but rather a substitute birthday.
 ML> Thanks anyway.
 NB> Ah... more an un-birthday...  ;)  or a celebration after/before the
 NB> fact...

It was reasonably close to the fact but not exact.

   :)  I don't pretend to keep atop of when the real dates
 NB> are... gave up on that for much of my own family, even, big as it is...

I sort of know that I'm a Taurus, but on the day Bob or Deb
said, we have to go out and celebrate, and I said, why, is
it your birthday? and was told, no, it's yours. And so it
was. I don't recall ever telling them, but they swore up and
down that it was in their phone.

Pitn' Cuse

h - Dough 
5 ts sugar
6 eggs
5 ts baking powder
1/2 c cooking oil
1/2 c red wine
1/2 ts cinnamon
1/2 ts ground cloves
4 c flour (more as needed)
h - Filling
1/4 c sugar
2 lb raisins
2 lb walnuts chopped
1 ts cinnamon
1 ts nutmeg
1/4 c cooking oil
honey

Prepare dough ahead and refrigerate overnight.

Mix all ingredients except flour. Add flour a little
at a time until very soft but still sticky.
Refrigerate overnight.

Separate just enough dough to line bottom and sides
of deep dish pie pan (straight edge pan works best).

Roll out remaining dough very thin. Brush with oil.
Cut into 2" strips w/pizza cutter.

Drizzle honey lightly over entire dough (not too much).
[M is not sure whether this means the dough that is
lining the pie pan or the dough in 2" strips. Suspects
the former.]

Spread raisins and walnuts. Sprinkle with cinnamon,
nutmeg, sugar. Roll up each strip tightly to hold nuts
and raisins, but not too tight. Take largest roll and
place in middle of dough-lined pie dish, standing
upright, continue to place rolls around center roll
edge sides up.

Bake at 350F for 30 min.

Remove and drizzle with honey

Bake additional 30 min or until golden brown.

Let sit overnight in pie pan.
