Funny you should mention it, Hon, First time I ever ate it, I wasn't
much impressed, either. At all, in fact. Second time was better. The
stuff that Mary sent us home with in August was wonderful. Maybe it had
more schmaltz in it. Maybe it's batch specific and if you catch the
cooker on an off day, well, you know. . . the stuff I made needed some
butter and salt added when I re-heated it to finish it off.

AFA being raised with it -- I'm a'liking noodles of all kinds - and I
WAS raised with them. Halushky. Egg knoodles. And, by virtue of
halushky with kapusta, I'm accustomed to having something that's not a
sauce mixed in with them.

And do we WANT to know about pancakes with mushroom gravy? Jesus, Mary,
and Joseph!! I think NOT!
