Hi Dave,


 RH> This was sometime in the 90s, back when we were in AZ. Steve is a
 RH> sci-fi fan and enjoyed this show.

 DD> I have always considered Star Trek as space opera/fantasy. Along with
 DD> Battlestar Galactica.

Science ficton, with emphasis on the ficton.

 DD> sometimes, in the cold months add a little honey to my cuppa. Never
 DD> sugar.

 RH> We keep both honey and raw sugar on hand for sweetening, no white sugar
 RH> in the house. The raw adds just a hint of a molasses taste.

 DD> I keep sugar for recipes where it's called for. But a pound of C&H
 DD> lasts a looooooooong time. You probably couldn't use my molasses substitute
 DD> which I pick up at the Illinois Products Farmer's Market
 DD> - sorghum. It's a cousin of maize (corn) ans might trigger Steve's allergy.

 RH> Actually we got a pint bottle of it several years ago and he used it in his
 RH> coffee with no apparant side effects. Guess it was a small enough amount at
 RH> any one time so as to not affect him.

 DD> Or the part of corn that causes his problem is not it the sorghum
 DD> syrup.

Probably so. He can handle corn starch and the occaisional times I've
used a small amount of white corn syrup (no hfsc in it) but stays away
from corn on the cob, niblets, corn chops, etc.


 DD>       Title: Baked Apricot Brie w/Sorghum Syrup
 DD>  Categories: Five, Pastry, Cheese, Fruits
 DD>       Yield: 5 Servings

That'll have to be one to try later this year; temps are way too hot to
use the oven, even in a house with central a/c right now. Last night
Steve grilled burgers, we had chips and cucumber slices with them.

Catch you later,
