If you are going to be in a town and want to avoid argument, you
might pronounce the name like the locals. Watch out for Des

The concept you can spell a name Smith and pronounce it BugleAndDrumCorps
is not outside my comprehension....English isn't the most commonly spoken
language on the planet. AFAIK Mandrin is. So how's your chinese
pronunciation?

Again my story about my cousin (d. age 105) who told me that she was born in
Puerto Rico. It was years before I got onto it that it was Puerto Rico, WV.
Another I like and there are many in WV, is Berlin.

But the one I like best is a town in VA,"Rio." Pronounce it Rye-oh.

We have a plethora of interestingly pronounced names hereabouts:

Sequim (Skwim), home of the Lavender Festival
Tulalip (Tu-LAY-lip)
Puyallup (PEW-wallup)
Cheney (Chee-ney), NOT named for the VP

OB Food: The Puyallup Fair in September is going trans-fat-free. Folks
can eat funnel cakes, deep-fried Snickers bars, and corn dogs with

No, it's pronounced croppie back East as well. Maybe it was a way to
dignify a rather commonplace fish.

I will let you know that this is a terrible, totally inexcusable grammar
mistake! Praha is feminine, ergo Nova Praha. Ha!

ObFood in Praha: Bramborová polévka. The recipe is from Time-Life
_Recipes: The Cooking of Vienna's Empire_, compiled by Joseph Wechsberg.

Bubba


Bramborová Polévka
Potato Soup

To serve 4 to 6

2 pounds (about 4 medium-sized) boiling potatoes
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup diced parsnips (1/2-inch dice)
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup diced carrots (1/2-inch dice)
2 tablespoons flour
1 quart chicken stock, fresh or canned
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 chopped mushrooms, fresh or dried (dried mushrooms should be soaked
and drained)

Cook the unpeeled potatoes for 6 to 8 minutes in boiling water to cover,
then peel and dice them into 1/2-inch chunks. Melt the butter in a
heavy 4-quart saucepan or a soup kettle over medium heat. Add the
potatoes, celery, parsnips, onions and carrots. Let the vegetables
cook, uncovered, in the butter, stirring them occasionally, for about 10
minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Sprinkle the flour evenly
over the vegetables, then stir them until they are all well coated.

Add the stock, marjoram, salt, a few grindings of pepper and mushrooms.
Bring the soup to a boil on high heat, stirring almost constantly.
Reduce the heat to very low and partially cover the pot. Simmer for 25
to 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Taste for seasoning.

Serve in individual soup bowls or in a heated soup tureen.

Well, don't blame me! Inasmuch as the area was settled by Czechs and
Bohemian immigrants, I think it's interesting that it's pronounced that
way ‹ I mean, I'm thinkin' that the immigrants' first language would be
Czech and they'd say Novy Praha ‹ and that it would have stuck. Yet
another of life's mysteries that I don't care all that much about.

I live in southern Ontario. My mother preferred Miracle Whip. I preder
mayonnaise, especially freshly made.

Here's what I came up with. It's very close to that Recipezaar link
someone posted. (Thanks, btw)

Salad Dressing

2 egg yolks
3 Tbsp bottled lemon juice
1/2 tsp celery salt
1 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

3/4 cups water
2 Tbsp cornstarch
5 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp white vinegar

Mix water, cornstach, sugar, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Whisk and
heat to boiling to make a thin paste. Set aside to cool.

Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, celery salt, mustard, and paprika in a
tall skinny bowl. Add half of the salad oil and mix with handheld
blender to make a mayonnaise. Add the remaining oil slowly and blend
that in too. Don't worry too much if you add the oil too fast and it
separates a little. Add the warm cornstarch paste and blend until
smooth and thick. It will get even thicker in the refrigerator.

Notes: Good but doesn't quite taste right. Probably celery is the
wrong spice. Try white pepper next time.

That looks truly disgusting. It is, however, funny that they specify
"bottled lemon juice," as if using fresh just wouldn't be right.

That's my recipe, and I specified bottled lemon juice because that's
what I used. You can substitute fresh if you want and it will probably
turn out just fine. But if it doesn't, don't blame me.

Ditto here. And February here often has days that feel like late May.
It's been a very mild summer here in NorCal. Far fewer stinkin'

So you claim credit for messing up perfectly decent mayo with your
"paste."

Homemade Miracle Whip
Recipe #417815 ratings
I found this recipe for homemade Miracle Whip in the local paper.
Miracle Whip is not available where I live, so it's nice to have a jar
of this in the fridge.

Using a blender or electric mixer, blend egg yolks, salt, sugar and 1
tablespoons of the lemon juice.
Slowly pour in 1 cup oil, a few drops at a time, mixing thoroughly.
Add remaining 1/2 cup oil a little faster, carefully blending in each
bit before adding the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
Mix the flour, mustard, boiling water and vinegar together until
smooth.
Pour into a small saucepan and cook until smooth and paste-like (but
not too thick).
Slowly add this hot mixture to the mayonnaise and blend well.
Pour in a container and cool in the refrigerator.

I have a recipe for corny dogshit.

Feed you dog a can of corn. Check after every defecation. Eventually
there will appear corny dogshit. Goes well with Miracle Whip.
