Welcome
Hi Everybody!Are You Looking Forward To Fall?
I hope you had a really great summer. It was certainly a hot one depending on where you live -- a great summer for enjoying ice cream and frozen treats!Now that summer is almost over, we are looking forward to some beautiful fall weather. Here in the Kawarthas, the leaves on the trees will soon be turning into gorgeous shades of color -- bronze, gold, red. Truly, it's a marvelous season of the year.
At this time, let us think of the unfortunate victims of Hurricane Katrina. The television news images are heartbreaking, and the need is so great. It is likely that some of those affected by the hurricane are regular visitors to my website. To those who are, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
As a Canadian, I am pleased that our government responded so quickly by filling three Royal Canadian Navy warships and a huge Canadian Coast Guard supply ship with hundreds of tons of needed relief supplies, huge electrical generators, and over 1000 Canadian Forces members, including navy divers and skilled military engineers who hope to restore power and generate electricity for New Orleans.
The naval task force is now approaching New Orleans. It includes the destroyer HMCS Athabasca, the frigates HMCS Ville de Quebec and HMCS Toronto, and the Canadian Coast Guard ship Sir William Alexander. The Canadian naval ships will work alongside the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard in bringing needed relief to this devastated region. Please pray for the health and safety of the crews and rescue personnel.
Prime Minister Paul Martin and U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins watched from dockside this week as the vessels set sail from Halifax for New Orleans. "Just as we were four years ago, after 9/11, my country is hurting, hurting deeply," Ambassador Wilkins told the crowd. "Once again, Canada is coming to our rescue early and eagerly."
Also, the Royal Canadian Air Force is busy flying hundreds of Canadian Red Cross workers and medical supplies to needy areas in the South.
Canada offered to help within hours of the disaster, but President Bush surprisingly said help was not needed. However, after 5 days of repeated offers by Ottawa, the White House finally relented and accepted aid from other countries, including Canada. Let's hope and pray the time wasted did not needlessly cost lives!
Sincerely,
Don

Old-Fashioned Dessert Recipe
Naples, Or Duke of Cambridge Pudding Recipe, With Candied Peel
This old-fashioned recipe is taken from the book "Dr. Chase's Third, Last and Complete Receipt Book, Memorial Edition" by Dr. Alvin Wood Chase, M.D., published by F. B. Dickerson Company, Detroit and Windsor, in 1891.Candied lemon, orange and citron, each, 1 ounce; butter and pulverized sugar, each, 6 ounces; yolks of 4 eggs; rich puff paste, or well-buttered bread, to line the dish.
Directions: Chop the candied peel finely, put the rich crust or paste into the dish, else line it with bread well buttered on both sites; then put in the chopped mixture; warm the butter and sugar together, adding the well-beaten yolks, stirring over the fire until it boils; then pour this over the other and bake in a slow oven 1 hour; or, in place of the butter, beat the whites of the eggs also with the yolk, and make a custard with milk, 1 quart; sugar the same, and pour over, and bake 3/4 hour.
This makes you two puddings for variety's sake -- make one way at one time, and the other way next time.
