A man walks into a docs office with a Flamingo on his head. Startled, the doctor asks Can I help you? The Flamingo says, "You can get the MAN out from under my feet."
Well, the OP has gone silent so: Batic art is a dying process where you "paint" a design on fabric with melted wax the "release" and then hand dye the garment. The dye dosen't reach the waxed part which hopefully remain the base color. The wax is then removed and the process can be repeated with different waxing & coloring on the undyed surfaces of the garment. Like I said it's time consuming and can be very messy when you are working with dyes & melted wax.
Absolutely especially if the new one is better looking or actually loves you.
My advice to get over a woman who dumped you is not to dwell on the good times you had but think about all the times she stood you up or lied to you or cheated on you and all her flaws.
Click on 1968 for a trip down memory lane to a simpler time before Terrorists. The Twin Towers were still standing, people were going to San Francisco to wear flowers in their hair, free love was the mantra of the day, People were waking up to the fact that we didn't belong in Viet Nam dropping bombs on people.
This is an issue that should be resolved through "binding arbitration" under the authority of the UN. They husbanded this conflict in the first place back in the late 40's!
Any war between Pak & India would ensnare China as they have a common border with Kashmir and India.
England and the United States would be sucked into this conflict also because we both have interests and relations with both sides. Add to that Russia and the whole Muslim world not to mention countries around the globe with interests in India.
Are you starting to get the picture "Handsome"? What you have here is the same situation that preceded the start of the first world war. Hopefully we've learned something from that!
I envy people who have gotten clobbered with snow. I only wish this winter we get a nice 24" snowstorm. That would end this damn drought we've been having for the last 2 years.
This may be my last entry in this thread because it doesn't seem to be generating any interest.
NOODLES WITH NUTS Hungarian
One of the unusual things about Hungarian cooking is the strange combination of ingredients which at first glance would seem absurd. Noodles with nuts is a classic example of this. Whenever my mother made this dish there were never any left-overs!
1 lb Wide Noodles 1 C finely chopped Walnuts 1/3 C Confectioners Sugar 2 tbls melted Butter 1 tsp Lemon Juice 1/2 tsp grated Lemon Peel
Cook the noodles. While the noodles are cooking mix the chopped walnuts and powdered sugar and set aside. Blend in a large bowl the noodles, Lemon Juice, Lemon peel & butter. Top each serving with some of the walnut sugar mixture. Or, just mix everything together and serve. An alternative to Walnuts is Poppy seeds. Increase Butter to 1/4 C and use 2/3 C Poppy seeds in place of walnuts.
Ever been to Budapest Conrad? If so you know how good Hungarian cooking is.
Here's another one though again it's not Hungarian but it is an awesome dish and so easy to make.
ZUCCHINI COMPOTE
1 medium (about 8" by 2" ) Zucchini un peeled. 1 large Onion. 1 large Tomato. 1 can red Kidney Beans. 1 tbsp. oil or butter. Salt & Pepper.
Slice Zucchini into 1/4 " thick slices. Slice Onion and Tomato. Put Zucchini, Onion and Tomatoes in a large skillet with shortening. Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Cook covered over low heat until Zucchini has lost it's white color (acquired a watery appearance). Add Kidney Beans. Remove from heat let stand a minute to allow Kidney Beans to absorb heat. Serve.
4 LBS. BEEF, CHUCK, RUMP, OR ROUND VINEGAR AND WATER SALT AND PEPPER 1/4 CUP SUGAR 1 ONION, SLICED 1/4 CUP RAISINS 3 BAY LEAVES 4 TO 6 GINGER SNAPS 1 TSP. PEPPERCORNS 1 CUP THICK SOUR CREAM
Sprinkle meat well with salt and pepper and rub in thoroughly. Place with onions, bay leaves and peppercorns in a deep earthen dish. Add water to vinegar, (equal parts if vinegar is very strong) and add salt and sugar to taste (better without the sugar ed). Pour hot over the meat to cover. Cover dish well, put in a cool place, let stand 8 days (3 days is more than enough ed). After marinating; Put meat in Kettle (Roasting Pan ed) add onion and a little of the spiced vinegar, place in a hot (400ø ed) oven (Uncovered ed) to brown all over, then, put on tight fitting cover and let cook slowly about 3 hours or until tender. Add more of the vinegar if necessary. Take out the meat, slice for serving and keep hot. Strain liquid in kettle, skim off fat. Let sugar melt in an iron Spider, (large skillet ed) add very gradually the strained liquid, then the raisins and ginger snaps, cook until thickened and smooth and pour while hot over meat. Add 1 cup of thick sour cream to gravy if desired.
This recipe is from "The Settlement Cookbook" circa 1920 I've edited it somewhat so people today will understand what they're talking about ie most people today wouldn't know what a spider is. Also back in those days vinegar was not as consistant as it is today. Personally I believe sauerbraten was originally intended to be made from venison and I have made it using venison a few times and it is outrageous.
Ok this isn't exactly Hungarian but it's good enough to be. LOL
BREAD PUDDING
3 Eggs lightly beaten 4 C Milk 2 tsp Vanilla 1 tsp Cinnamon 1/2 tsp Salt 4 C cubed Bread 1 C Brown Sugar 1/2 C Golden Raisins
Combine Eggs, Milk, Brown Sugar, Vanilla and Salt. Put Bread cubes into a 9" cake pan or cassarol. Pour mixture on Bread cubes making sure they are soaked through. Sprinkle Cinnamon on top. Place in oven. (Optional step: Place in larger pan and carefully add 1" of HOT water.) This will produce a more custard-like result. Bake for an hour at 350 deg.
1 Medium (about 5") head of Cabbage 1 Large Onion 1 Pound of "Wide" Egg Noodles Butter 1/4 tsp. Salt 1/2 tsp. ground Black Pepper
Grate Cabbage and Onion and place with about 1 tbsp. of Butter, Salt and Pepper in a large skillet. Cook over low heat until mixture is greatly reduced in volume and has a light tan color. While the cabbage is cooking boil a Lb. of wide noodles, Combine drained Egg noodles with Cabbage-Onion mixture and serve. Can be used as a main coarse or side dish.
1 CUP FLOUR 1/2 TEAS. SALT 3 EGGS WELL BEATEN 1 1/2 CUP MILK 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
Sift flour and salt, add milk and eggs, beat all together very well. The batter will be very thin. Pour a little batter in a large hot skillet spray some Pam over pan, tilt pan so batter will spread all over the bottom, when brown (happens quickly) Turn and brown on other side. A good crepe maker can handle 2 pans simultaneously. Spread each pancake with jelly and roll up and dust with powdered sugar. serve hot. While the above is perfectly valid for French pancakes, the Hungarians who are world renown for their expertise with pastry have taken the idea for a rolled up, pancake type desert to an art form. Below are some variations on the theme which are peculiarly Hungarian.
In place of jelly, Hungarians use an ingredient known as LEKVAR which is Prune Jam. While this doesn't sound as good as jelly it is in fact surprisingly delicious. The second filling favored by Hungarians is a cheese filling made with cottage cheese.
I'll post the cheese filling later when I type it up also a walnut filling.
Phil (Detente) was a very intelligent guy with killer good looks, I always thought he was one of the best looking guys on here with a very quick wit and sharp as a tack. He seemed to be very well educated.
Constanza could you fill us in on what took him, I remember reading something a while back he was not well.
If you were close to him, as it seems I am truly sorry but whatever he was suffering from is paining him no more. At least there is that.
