I have made jelly with some autumn-olive berries which occur around here in the fall, and I was surprised at the quantity of sugar it required. But worth it . . . <br /><br />Thanks a lot for the dumpling recipies, and for converting from the gram measure (although turns out my girl Virginia has a scale which can measure in grams which she uses for making soap, so that measure was not a problem) -- I shall try each. I wonder what the difference self rising flour makes? I didn't use that with the first recipie and the dumlings incorporated into little bits in the soup.<br />I shall practice on. <br />goatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317617928368945316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-24103257613136430152012-10-26T06:34:20.076-07:002012-10-26T06:34:20.076-07:00Well, Cosmo...the weekend is nigh; it's time f...Well, Cosmo...the weekend is nigh; it's time for you to make a pie!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-79685002023367935422012-10-26T02:39:12.265-07:002012-10-26T02:39:12.265-07:00Those pies sound good...Those pies sound good...J Cosmo Newberyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459976320205444628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-12006367232464471432012-10-25T12:59:39.268-07:002012-10-25T12:59:39.268-07:00Hi there, Pat.

After the initial hiccups, when at first, I lost every comment that my blogger mates, such as yourself...but when I removed the Disqus widget that I'd added, the lost comments all returned. I'm not sure why I added that widget in the first place! I won't do it again, that's for sure! <br /><br />Thanks for your comment, Pat...and thanks for popping in...it's always nice to see you.

Congrats on your writing and hope you will give us a small snippy to enjoy. Unfortunately those Smug Self Righteous People are all over the earth. We have one in our Art Ventures Group and everyone scrambles to not sit beside her. LOL I have failed on several occasions. I have a tendency to call them "Uninformed Experts" or at least in their mind they are experts. LOL Peace and have a grand weekend.
