Sharon said:You should try reading their recipes sometimes. First time I tried making gingerbread I ran across this:

1Classes

It isn't the sound of what they said that drives me nuts, it's the writing. I couldn't figure out what a Classes was and why it would go in gingerbread. So I had to take my memories back about 50+ years and go through an entire gingerbread making scene in order to understand. I usually watched the whole process because I got to use the scraps of dough to make my own gingerbread man.

1Classes = 1 cup of molasses

And I know all about rumatiz!!

Thanks about the clover; you did good with the city manager. And so right about the honey.

I told someone yesterday that growing up, I spoke two languages -- English and Hillbilly. I knew all about warshers and overhalls and heldicopters and rumatiz, etc. But I have to say, Sharon - I might speak it but I don't think I could read/write it. I'd have never gotten "cup of molasses" from that.
