It didn't sound like you were jumping down my throat at all, Kathy. I laughed when I read your original post. I had to look up what halva is, however. You learn something new every day.
Thanks, Barry.
Maybe I was remembering wrong. I've been so swamped lately that I probably shouldn't even be posting anything on here. I just sent the wrong file to a publisher for typesetting, and luckily the error was caught, although not by me.
Ugh, halva! I have gamely tried many German/Russian foods here and have not like any of them, but just the sound of it makes my throat close up.
I tend to get defensive about North Dakota; I don't fit in here very well. I could go on and on about that, but I'll spare you all.
