Well, I haven't made blintzes in more years than I care to think about,
but I don't recall the recipe I used having the other two cheeses in
it. I'll have to cross index a couple recipes, or just take you up on
your kind offer. But then I'd have to be VERY GOOD, wouldn't I. Hmmmm,
that could be tough.

So what do you know from Polish Rural Jews? Actually, I think my father's
family is a mix of Polish rural and Russian rural. They came from Lodz
(pronounced Woodzsch, for those who don't speak Polish).

You're going to be at Pennsic? Yippee! And there was much rejoicing. Do
you know where you're encamped yet? Come on up to Moritu Horde camp and
I'll give you the Yurts-R-Us tour. We expect to have 24 in camp this
year. If I'm in camp, the Storvik flag will be flying next to the tribal
banner.

In service,
Corun
