Hi Michael,

 RH> I'm looking forward to reading the write ups. Steve was pleased that
 RH> the trifle with home made almond milk was such a hit, not only with
 RH> you, but everybody else as well.

 ML> It was a good trifle to begin with (lack of booze notwithstanding),
 ML> and one did not miss dairy in the cream filling.

The lack of booze never bothered me. The lack of dairy in the pastry
cream was a non issue. IMO, the fruit and cake are the best parts of the
dessert. (G) We've not tried making the cake with Stevia for Baking
instead of (some of) the powdered sugar, that would lower the carb count
and make it friendlier for diabetics. Hmmmmmmm, have to suggest to Steve
that we do a trial one.

 ML> I'm glad you had a safe trip. Hope it was enjoyable.
 RH> Most of it was enjoyable. Not so good moments seeing how my parents
 RH> are doing. Of all the time we spent with my mom, she was awake/aware
 RH> maybe 10 minutes, total. We spent probably 3 hours over 5 days with
 RH> her. It doesn't sound like much time but given her environment, it is.

 ML> Best of luck on this - more for your equanimity than any notion
 ML> that your parents will take a health U-turn and become young
 ML> again, which is apparently not in the order of things.

It's going to be interesting going thru the final stages of life with my
parents and seeing how different siblings react to each stage. I know
Mom & Dad will never be what they were, even a few years ago but I'm
glad they've had as long a life as they have. Both have lived longer
than either of their parents or siblings--all have passed away except
for a younger sister to my mother.


 ML> Do you have any details on this - correlation between old
 ML> and new terminology, for example?
 RH> I'd have to do some searching. The woman we got the syrup from
 RH> mentioned the various ones but I don't recall the compairison off the
 RH> top of my head.

 ML> Report back when you find out - this was a most interesting
 ML> tidbit.

OK, I'll check out NY State Department of Agriculture's web site.

 RH> Use maple sugar in it for a real maple hit. Trouble is, much as I
 RH> would like it, my blood glucose would take a major hit.

 ML> We're offering these recipes for inspection only. Use at
 ML> your own risk!

I know, I have to use a lot less of any kind of sugar now, sigh!
