Digs is outstanding.

Gave us all we needed, and no more. Which was good, since this was to
give a student a good start in researching the topic. We'd give a rip
if we could afford it. The initial $10 was "not in the budget," so to
speak.

Thankyou Digsalot,
                    Your answer was great and  most interesting but
figured that I would have to save one star to be awarded to Chromedome
given he came up with what appears to be the quintessential Grandma
recipe of early last century.  I may in fact try recipe provided by
you in full as I am a man who cooks  to live and lives to cook. I may
have alredy done something similar in regards whatI have sampled from
my Morrocan cookbook, ( Morrocan food is wonderful and extremely
colourful on presentation to the table).  One of the reecipes from
that,  once I got past  the semi-sweet stews known as tangines, was to
try Morroccan Cigars. Shaped like a cigar this is basically minced and
spiced lamb wrapped in a Morrocacan style pastry. I also went to the
trouble of trying to make Texas-style chili on supply of a recipe via
another question I put through GA answered by a lady researcher whose
name I forget for the minute.

WOW, Digs!

No wonder you are considered the Master of your Craft.

An adept, no less.

In earlier times, you would have been a Magician, for sure.

Have a very small piece of Chocolate Raspberry Thingy Cake on me.

Thank you for the follow-up information!  I appreciate your speed.

Good job by the researcher.

Excellent response time, answer, and clarification. Thanks.

Thanks... exactly what I was looking for.

Great answer! Now I need to find out *why* the great color shift
occurred around WWII. Your citations should help get me started on
this question.

thanks, I'll let you know what I find . . .

Thanks, digsalot. It is somewhat incomprehensible how such miniature
sculpture is possible. The fellow in prison who did such remarkable
work must have had magnifiers and special tools...hard to believe
SingSing would provide amenities in the 19th century. Anyhow, you
clarified the issue. Being cynical, I thought most of these items were
hoaxes.

Excellent, answered the part I was stuck on very well.

thanks -- I had found the same URL myself LOL

The effort put in by digsalot-ga was very excellent and encouraging.
Looking forward to make use of this wonderful service in near future.

thank-you for your quick response and all of your insight.

More than I expected!

My cup runneth over! I don't know how we managed in the BGE (before
Google era). The question is not central to a paper I am writing, but
as a bit of post-modern decoration, to embellish my argument, the
information is exactly what I need. Thank you.

Thank you for responding to my clarifications.  I made the call to
Rose Petal Nautical Gifts and they will get back to me concerning a
custom made charm.  Your research helped!!

The essence of my query was fulfilled ... and it was very QUICKLY and
clearly fulfilled, which I appreciated.  I appreciated, as well, that
digsalot-ga has a sense of humor ... though it began to wear thin for
me, the SECOND time "D" referred to double-spacing to make up for not
having more material, which - even though merely a joke - casts me in
the position of being the childlike, gullible client, so easily fooled
by the cheap trick of spacing.  (By the way, D, the double-spacing
doesn't even come through when Google forwards your answer.)  I was
headed toward a 3-star rating, when D forwarded a clarification, with
enough integrity to credit MostlyPink with the impetus to send it,
that made me feel more thoroughly and conscientiously answered. Which
raised my rating to 4 stars ... and, let me say again, a reflection of
my genuine appreciation for a fast and, indeed, thorough answer.  Not
"exceptional", to quote the next line of this feedback form, but truly
welcome nonetheless. THANKS. mike

Great suggestion! I hate to just dig it up and throw it out, it's so pretty!

Now, about my crop of iceberg lettuce... ;-)
