Dale, two words: Paris Brest.
Sure, you'll have to fly Ariane, but I'll just say "baked, almond-topped, choux pastry ring filled with buttercream" (the local patisserie mixes expresso in their cream...mmmmmmmmmm). Also, being French, you just know that they won't compromise on cuisine (""Space food sticks"? Are you mad?"). Of course, there's always jelly donuts. Here in Oz, we've really just got the Lamington, and that coconut's going to go just everywhere. Besides, we've got enough space just heading sideways to worry about any space heading up...looks like it might be time for me to catch a sand-ship to the interior (bonus points awarded for catching the reference ![]() Cheers, Marc |

![]() I read a number of the Dumarest books, but lost track of the series. Tubb did a good job of invention is the various cultures his protagonist encountered while trying to find his way back to Earth. At some point, I'll find a copy of the last book, and confirm whether my suspicions about the ending were on target. ______ Dennis Last edited by DMcCunney; 02-20-2008 at 01:07 PM. |

But I'm originally a southern gal and there's no such thing as too sweet.

Is it still a prediction if the subject has been in regular use for thousands of years? Cooking using geothermal steam is commonplace wherever the steam is found near people.
