Okay maybe I'm wrong, I noticed that someone came on the (SITA Societe Internationale de Telecommunications Aeronautiques) network came off MOL to my omelette page, then I noticed the company is based out of Switzerland, but maybe someone was at the airport....
just curious.... |

Hey, in the last year I've read MOL from China and Germany, among other places...sometimes late at night in a business hotel, it makes a good nightcap! |

Tom, the original recipe request was for a vegetarian chopped liver for my daughter who had just stopped eating meat (gosh, that was over 10 years ago). Didn't even know that there were Jews in Australia (only about 80,000 or so, tho) |

Well, I guess it's time for another public appearance - been a long time since the last one!
Monster, if you feel the need you could post in French and I'd read it even though I'm a long way from French territory: I'm a French citizen as well as an Aussie! And the Australian State of Victoria was almost a French territory except that the Brits got here something like three days before.
LL: Tom didn't know the story of the pareve chopped liver - and Tom: LL didn't know about the haroset request. I guess you're both up to date now...am really eager for the recipes, please Tom, either on list or direct to private e-mail. I bragged to family that I'll bring the haroset this year and it would be good but different. I have a stunning and rich chocolate mousse recipe using no cream that I'm happy to trade. Hey, Sbenois - I've never tasted Matza Charlotte, what should it taste like?? |

Oh no. I lost the sheet of recipes from the Passover festival. I just asked the organizer who printed them out. I'll get one for you.

Joanne G, if I could converse in the French language, I most certainly would, but alas I lack that capability.

Tom, if you would rather have a fax no to get the recipes to me, I can arrange one (it would save retyping). Let me know and I'll send it via PL.
Monster, c'est domage! Strewth! We'll just have to stay with International English coz I guess you don't write fluent Aussie Strine either.
Brett W, I've worked out I'm more a 'bird' than a 'sheila' - most sheilas I know are either in their 80s or are real Jillaroos who love nothing more than a good B&S (Bachelors and Spinsters) Ball - kinda like a Desperate and Dateless Ball but with a country-music theme.
And Sbenois - still no word about what a Matza Charlotte is meant to taste like??? How will I cope???
 to you all from Joanne in very chilly Howlong (along the Murray)where we've had our first frosty night for the year. The parrots outside my window are still chirping happily but the geriatric cat is buried very deep under the heavy quilt. |

Okay. Here is the best way for you to understand just how horrible this "taste treat" really is.
A few weeks ago, NBC announced the cancellation of Fear Factor, the show well known for asking contestants to eat various disgusting things like mealworms, horse rectums and, well, you name it.
So why was it cancelled? Rumor has it that somewhere during the taping of this season's episodes, the constestants were told that they must ingest an entire serving (4 oz) of Matzoh Charlotte. All of the contestants pleaded, begged and generally did whatever they could to avoid eating it. One went so far as to promise to eat the entire bloody placenta from a cow that had just given birth instead of the Matzoh Charlotte. Well NBC, in their never-ending search for ratings, decided that Matzoh Charlotte was about as gross as eating gets so they insisted on using it - although they did agree to reduce the portion to 1 ounce.
So what happened? The contestant died!
Lawsuits were filed, including one that named Libary Lady as a defendant. Obviously, with the bad PR and the threat of a class action suit by nauseated viewers if the episode were ever shown, NBC plugged the plug on the whole show.

Former SO Resident now calling Paris (7thArr) "Home" Check out MOL on a daily basis not that I'm tempted to move back. Property here on Champs d'Mars are less than $1000 per year but yes the TVA is high but my "buying" days are pretty much over and a car ain't in the cards. Best to All and no the riots were nothing compared to Newark in '67. |

US Government has a lot of hits--must be the NSA checking in on the Maztzoh Charlotte--it could be a weapon of mass destruction, the way Sbenois describes it.
Joanne, howlong have you been in howlong? |

JoanneG.- Interesting. As I recall from my nefarious days abroad, sheilas were of the "young and single, love to mingle" variety. Birds were the same but generally from the UK proper rather than the Outands. But then I've been in captivity for two decades so I guess things are subject to change. I surely did not consider you either a spinster or an "80's" girl. In any case, welcome aboard! |

Been in Howlong, almost too-long - in the 6 years we've lived here the town population has doubled to *gasp* nearly 3000 people, last I heard. A bit sad really - we now have a full-time doctor, a supermarket, a branch of a bank as well as the two pubs and the country club that have been here for decades. So much building going on, it's getting too noisy and too busy! (Note we don't have a community gym, a library, a public internet/computer place of any kind, nor a high school)
The town is actually named after a horse race run in the late 1800s, at that time the longest flat horse race in the southern hemisphere. I think the flat was around 20 miles. Go on, ask it! 'How long???' 'Yep, that's what I said - 20 miles!'
Brett W: I think the difference between sheila and bird is more about attitude. I know I'm no spring chook, being over 40; I'm certainly no old boiler!! The sheila tag just doesn't sit right with me, being a middle class girl from Melbourne originally.
Abner A: pls tell us more about how you find living in Paris (my family used to live there until fairlfy recent times and are now scattered around Europe and Israel.)Did you speak French previously? Was it a dream to move there? Has it lived up to expectations?
Dave: Thanks for the stats - they're amazing! Who are the other Aussie lurkers???? |
