Seems to be called wax gourd here. I don't think I've ever seen it but I can buy the seeds on ebay

Ah, my people. It's off to bed. I bid you adieu with this fantastic win.

Back home but about $350 poorer than when I left.

Too many jokes. Must sleep.

My polov had no gourd. This one had carrot, chick pea, and vegetarian beef substitute. (And a bunch of spices.) The recipe I had vvas from Tajikistan. It can vary some by region.

Being contrary --- volop is Dutch for

• abundant, plentiful, in abundance
• thoroughly, strongly, very much

Top of the morning to y'all.

Who ever came up with the idea that rasins steeped overnight in brandy, honey and strong black tea make a wonderful loaf when mixed with bread flower, brown sugar and marmalade. A rousing cheer for Yorkshire tea loaf

Good evening. I'm not a fan of raisins so I'll leave the tea loaf for you.

You laugh at my imminent bankruptcy

Thank you.

You'll miss all the fun again.

I have plenty of fun while I'm awake so I'll leave it to you guys to play with

You give me too much credit. I wasn't going that direction.

The stuff that gets invented by people that have steeped overnight in brandy. It does sound interesting and I'm not the biggest fan of raisins either. I'd try it.

Raisins steeped in brandy (or cognac) and Yorkshire tea are pretty damn good ;-)

So, you recommend Yorkshire tea as the brand for black tea?

I found this recipe online. I'm definitely interested in trying it. That recipe reminds me of fruitcake. And I like fruitcake.

Stupidly hot tonight and I can't sleep even with the ceiling fan on cyclone setting. I'm too lazy to get up, shut up the house and turn on the air.

Just do it.

Just do it.

Agreed. But easier said than done when you are lying there wanting only to sleep.
