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                                   --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: Wits' End, Vancouver CANADA (1:153/716)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 120 123 16/0 18/0 19/10 90/1 105/81 116/116 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/0 25 35 40 50 130 131 150 170 180 190 755 135/300 138/146       SEEN-BY: 153/250 757 7715 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 275 424 426 664 1016 240/1120 2100 5138 5411       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 5853 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 317/3 320/119 219       SEEN-BY: 320/319 322/0 757 342/200 423/81 460/58 640/1138 1321 1384       SEEN-BY: 712/848 2454/119 3634/0 12 15 27 50       PATH: 153/7715 3634/12 640/1384 221/1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
