Dinah, you have a bunch of odd signs in your recipe. Please translate.

>2 ‡ cups Sugar
>2 ‡ cups Water
>1 1/3 to 1 ‡ lbs. Semolina, Fine Grain

I don't know what others see, but i'm seeing
2 "capitol omega" cups sugar
2 "capitol omega" cups water
1 1/3 to 1 "capitol omega" lbs. Semolina, Fine Grain

The problem has to do with the mapping of 
characters in fonts and the fact that not all 
fonts contain the same characters. This is why 
it's better to write out fractions - i prefer, 
for example, "2-1/2 cups". The half is three 
characters, not a single character which is 
usually mapped as some other character in other 
fonts. So it's better not to just cut-and-paste 
from a word processing program into e-mail.
