Hello Cate,

The only "rag cake" that I can find is Irish, not Greek, and it does not have the syrup. Do you know the Greek name for the cake you tried?

Dear Phaedrus

I had the most delicious peanut butter cookie at the Finale, Brookline, Ma 
and would you be able to obtain the recipe.  The other cookie that was equally 
delicious was their sugar cookie.  These cookies are light, not greasy and the 
best I've ever eater.  Please see what you can do.  Thank you.

Hi Judy,

Sorry, I had no success locating any recipes for any of Finale's products.

Chinese  Barbecued  Spare  Ribs


4 lbs. spare ribs
1 c. dark soy sauce
1/2 c. light soy sauce
2 tbsp. red wine
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. maple syrup
1 tsp. salt
1 clove mashed garlic

Slash the meat between the ribs but not all the way through. 
Place the meat in a bowl, mixing the remaining ingredients 
and pour over the ribs.  Let sit in the marinade for 1 1/2 hours, 
turning every 30 minutes.  Remove the meat and save the liquid. 
Place the ribs on a hibachi or grill over low coals for about 
1 1/2 hours, turning frequently and basting continually. 
Cut with a poultry scissor.  Can also be cooked in the oven in 
a roasting pan, turning and basting.

Pour marinade over ribs in roasting pan.  Let stand for 1 hour, 
turning frequently.  Roast in marinade in 350 degree oven for 
about 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and broil or grill slowly

"On the table between them was what was left of a hearty Dorset cream tea. Dorset dumplings filled with a rum-and-apple mixture and flavored with ginger, a pile of butter-drenched scones, jam, tea, and of course a bowl of heaped, clotted cream, as sweet and thick as ice cream."
