   Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:   
      
   DM>  A kindly Universities gifted me with a tad over   
   DM>  3lbs of milk 3.2%, rump I'm guessing.  Now I am   
   DM>  waiting recommendations on how to cook it.   
      
   DM>  So, if You were to cook it...what would You do?   
      
      
               First, I wondered why Denis was measuring milk in pounds & why...   
   since he seems to be reasonably knowledgeable about cooking... he'd be asking   
   how to cook milk without saying how he was planning to use it.   
      
               Second, I read the kludge lines.  I saw that Denis was apparently   
   practising English by rewording a message from another echo.   
      
               Third, I consulted the source & saw that the original enquiry was   
   about moose meat.  That would explain the use of the word "rump".   
      
               If Denis wants to know how to cook moose meat, that's a different   
   question.  There are deer in Eurasia which some authorities consider to be of   
   the same species.  But unless I hear he has been offered meat he doesn't know   
   what to do with I'll regard this data as solely of academic interest....  :-Q
