[NTLK] [OT] for other Newtonians of the Tryzub, greetings

[Matt Howe]

Ahhh, but you misunderstand, probably because I wasn't clear, I wasn't
offering recipes I am offering to share with you some of the things my wife
makes. Bakery and breads and egg dishes, I know what you mean, a lot of the
time it is less about measurements than how a dough feels or looks. So
describe what you miss and I will see if there is a Slovak equivalent and
I'll have some set aside for you.

I have most of the recipes -- as far as a recipe can be said to represent
accurately how something is actually made -- even the one for kutia.  But
some of these things are *monsters* to try and carry out correctly.  Baba
would *say* "1 cup of ____" but the few times I watched her in action "1
cup" seemed capable of being anything between 6 oz and 10 oz, depending upon
which ingredient and which recipe is in question.

But the real problem is adequate technique, and that's something I don't
seem to have.  Several of these things, besides taking a lot of time to
prepare (unless you're well-practised at them all), require a certain knack.
It depresses me even remembering previous attempts at some things.
