Good morning to those who give blood to people who need it, to those who miss veterans including me (thanks guys, you make me blush), to those who kindly give me tips and addresses for my Texas trip next month, to those who iron shirts and to those who make cookies, and to other friends.
Emmanuel
PS : Does anyone knows the ROCOR parish in Dallas ? Is it nice ? I’m asking because, according to orthodoxyinamerica website, it’s the closest to my friends house.
I’ll have to go to St Seraphim Cathedral anyway, at least 3 people here and on OC told me it how great it is.
And, yes, it’s my first time in America.
Emmanuel-A,
I don't know how much time you'll have to spend at different services, but if you're going to be here from March 16th on, we're having Pan-Orthodox Vespers at different parishes in the area at 6:00p on Sundays.
Will you be here March 16th? If so, you're in for a treat. Three different heirarchs (from 3 of the jurisdictions) are going to celebrate DL at St. Seraphim in the morning, then everyone will be at the Vespers at Holy Trinity Greek parish that evening.
I hope I see you there!

I hope you enjoyed it.
And, yes, its my first time in America.
I'm sure you will be fine Marina
Rosewater cookies? They are YUM. They taste like turkish delight!
Everyone and their dog seem to want these cookies, so here's the recipe - and because I (and my cookbook) are awesome, it's in metric/standard/imperial measurementsDO NOT mix measurements, the conversions are not exact!
Rosewater Thins
Ingredients:
225g/8oz/1cup slightly salted butter
225/8oz/1cup caster sugar
1 egg
15ml/1tbsp single cream
300g/11oz/2 1/2 cups plain flour (gluten free flour works well in this recipe, for those that need it - my sister's coeliac)
pinch of salt
5ml/1tsp baking powder
15ml/1tbsp rosewater
caster sugar for sprinkling
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 190*C/375*F/Gas 5. Line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
2. Soften the butter and mix with all the other ingredients until you have a firm dough. Mould the mixture into an even roll and wrap in greaseproof paper. Chill until it is firm enough to slice very thinly. This will take 1-1.5 hours.
3. Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets with enough space for them to spread. Sprinkle with a little caster sugar and bake for about 10 minutes until they are just turning brown at the edges.
These are YUMMY, and good to freeze - make the rolls up, freeze them, and when you need cookies just pull out a roll, slice it and cook it.
Caster sugarWhat is caster sugar? Can one substitute regular sugar?
hmmm - let's try this for descriptions of sugar as used in the UK - it might help
Granulated sugar - can be white , golden etc - tiny crystals of sugar which are regular in shape. It dissolves fairly easily in water. Boiled in water it will make a sugar syrup. In this form it is also used for adding to drinks - eg tea and coffeeThis is the normal everyday useage sugar.
Castor sugar - much finer - used in jam making and baking in general. It is still granular
Icing sugar - much finer still - actually in powder form , used for cake decoration .
Ain't language wonderful
