Subject: Chocolate crinkle cookie recipe
Hi,
I used to LOVE to make and eat chocolate crinkle cookies.
Dark chocolate cookie balls, rolled in powered sugar before baking.
They would spread a little making the dark chocolate show through
the powdered sugar, and the sugar would turn sort of like candy.
They were DELICIOUS!
You have that recipe? I lost it!

Subject: Persimmon pulp
Hello,
I have some friends who grow their own orchard and
garden organicly, in Elwood, Indiana. They have been
very successfull and this year they have about 200
pints of persimmon pulp they have grown and made
themselves. I was wondering if you know of
anywhere we might be able to unload our excess for a
reasonable price? Thank you for any help you might be able to
offer us, and I appreciate your time.
Sincerely,
Robert
Hello Robert,
Last year I got several inquiries from people wanting to purchase frozen
persimmon pulp. There used to be a small online farm that sold it and would
ship it anywhere in the U.S. I don't know of a buyer that might buy the
entire 200 pints, but I'd be glad to post on my website if you'd like.

Hello Jo,
The literary and political "Kit-Kat" club was so named because the group
met at the pie-house of a pastry cook named Christopher Cat(Kat - Catt - Katt).
The name "kit-cat" was also given to one of the pies he served in this establishment.
It was a mutton pie.
The club's membership consisted of around four dozen included leading Whig
politicians and London's best young writers. The club was formed in 1688 and
lasted until after 1720.
I could not locate Mr. Cat's exact recipe, but the first recipe below is a
recipe for English mutton pie from the same era. The second recipe below is
a modernization of that recipe.
The two websites below give additional information about the famous Kit-Kat
Club and the "Kit-Kat" portraits that were painted of the club's members as well:
Kit Kat Club
The Spectator
Phaed
Mutton Pie
Steaks of mutton
Salt & pepper
Onion
Pie dough
Gravy
Cut steaks from a loin or neck of mutton that has hung;
beat them, and remove some of the fat. Season with salt,
pepper, and a little onion; put a little water at the
bottom of the dish, and a little paste on the edge; then
cover with a moderately thick paste. Or raise small pies,
and breaking each bone in two to shorten it, season, and
cover it over, pinching the edge. When they come out, pour
into each a spoonful of gravy made of a bit of muton.
------------------------
Mutton Pies
Ingredients:
Hot Water Crust:
8oz. flour
2oz. lard or vegetable fat
2 fl oz. milk
2 fl oz. water
pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
Filling:
12 oz. lean mutton or lamb
6 tablespoons meat stock, gravy or water
salt and pepper
1 Make the filling first. Chop the meat finely and season. Set
aside. Set oven to 375 F. or Mark 5. Sieve the flour and salt
into a bowl. Boil the lard, water and milk together in a saucepan.
Make a well in the flour and pour in the hot mixture: mix well
with a knife and knead until smooth. Roll out two thirds of the
paste on a floured surface, keeping a third for lids. Cut into
6 circles and press into deep patty tins. Spoon the meat into each
tin, moistening each filling with a spoonful of stock, gravy or
water. Cut the remaining dough into 6 smaller circles for lids.
Brush the edges with water and seal. Make a split in each pie lid
to allow steam to escape. Brush with egg yolk. Cook for 30 to 40
minutes. Serve hot or cold.
2 As a variation, add some chopped onion, mushroom and parsley to
the filling.
