Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!
Turned out that when the recipe called for "lady fingers" she assumed they meant what people in her area of India called "lady fingers". Okra.
Oh, EW. But that's pretty funny.
Yes, she made it ... it came out ... lumpy. And green.
Eww. That would not be appetizing tiramisu! Could I get someone to fax me a random page? I'm trying to see if it's my printer/fax that's being weird or my fax receipt (which is supposed to go to email). Driving me nuts. Anyone wanna fax a random page to 512-685-7299? That would be super helpful.
Yay, cycles.
Unironic yay, Mirena!
Sad to display my culinary ignornace, but what are "lady fingers" if not okra, then? I mean, I never knew okra to be called that, but in my little world, ladyfingers are a delicious baked good, which seems unlikely to be an ingredient in another baked good.
Ladyfingers are a delicious baked good! Which you then smother in like, coffee and amaretto and mascarpone or something? I forget what goes in a tiramisu. Stuff that is yummy?
For most of us they are a nice - sometimes delicious - baked good. However, she was from ... rural India, I believe, where that's what they called them.
I remember my mother - fresh from Kentucky - trying to find out where the N.J. grocery kept their (as she pronounced it) "yayams". She ended up settling for sweet potatoes.
Meara, did any one fax you yet? Cause I could do it now
At least she didn't think they were fingers from actual ladies!
