Johnnae llyn Lewis sends greetings.

	My son was on my computer this weekend, so
I am only now getting to the list of messages.

Sonia Uvezian in Recipes and Rememberances from An
Eastern Mediterranean Kitchen [Univ of Texas, 1999]
gives a recipe for "ma'mul". Apparently the spelling
varies, so everyone should remember to try alternative
spellings when searching for recipes. Uvezian says the
 mold is called a "tabi". She says to flour the mold,
knock excess flour out, then mold the cookie. Invert the
mold and tap the cookie out. She gives recipes for nut
filling and a date filling. She also cites a reference
where they were mentioned in the 1840's, so they are at
least that old.

Congrats to the Olwen on her well deserved award.
