[Sca-cooks] OOP ethnic silly question...and holiday greetings!

[Elaine Koogler]

But it wasn't Lainie...it was me.  Elaine is my modern name.  And I just
sent off the recipe.  And I'd LOVE some of your wine.  Share it with
me...I'll bake one of these cakes, soak it in your wine and send you a small
one.
