Vicente regaled us with his wonderful successful competition and
tormented us with his delectable recipes. And i extend my
congratulations to him for honor!

Ah, hah! The "odd character" phenomenon returns. I don't know what
*you* see, but i'm seeing some non-alphanumeric characters here...
How much is "less than or equal to" oz date?

How much is "lower case pi" oz cinnamon?
How much is "upper case pi" oz sugar?
Please - i mentioned this recently. I'm not on a PC and i'm sure i'm
not the only one who often sees odd characters instead of fractions -
please set your e-mail client to NOT replace those fractions written
in multiple characters with single characters that i and others
cannot read.
Pleased, very pleased with your success. Cranky about not being able
to read the recipe. Drool, drool.
