human babies, this is the perfect solution. But if you are still paranoid, you can substitute pork butt. 5 lb. lean chuck roast 3 lb. prime baby butt 2 tablespoons each: salt black, white and cayenne peppers celery salt garlic powder parsley flakes brown sugar 1 teaspoon sage 2 onions 6 cloves garlic bunch green onions, chopped Cut the children?s butts and the beef roast into pieces that will fit in the grinder. Run the meat through using a 3/16 grinding plate. Add garlic, onions and seasoning then mix well. Add just enough water for a smooth consistency, then mix again. Form the sausage mixture into patties or stuff into natural casings. Stillborn Stew By definition, this meat cannot be had altogether fresh, but have the lifeless unfortunate available immediately after delivery, or use high quality beef or pork roasts (it is cheaper and better to cut up a whole roast than to buy stew meat). 1 stillbirth, de-boned and cubed ¼ cup vegetable oil 2 large onions bell pepper celery garlic ½ cup red wine 3 Irish potatoes 2 large carrots This is a simple classic stew that makes natural gravy, thus it does not have to be thickened. Brown the meat quickly in very hot oil, remove and set aside. Brown the onions, celery, pepper and garlic. De-glaze with wine, return meat to the pan and season well. Stew on low fire adding small amounts of water and seasoning as necessary. After at least half an hour, add the carrots and potatoes, and simmer till root vegetables break with a fork. Cook a fresh pot of long grained white rice. Pre-mie Pot Pie When working with prematurely delivered newborns (or chicken) use sherry; red wine with beef (buy stea |

The real plural, from its Latin root is, "antennae".
The Latin word meant a yardarm for a sail, but in those days sails were not square rigged but lateen types. Hence it seemed a good analogy to use the word for feelers of insects. (The etymological entymological derivation is thus not the original) Those who are ignorant about the English Language and its etymology, especially the Yanks and nerdy types, have introduced the erroneous plural, "antennas". Language changes, but where an obvious error has been introduced by the ignoramuses of this World, there is no harm in correcting the error and using, "antennae" henceforth. Let those who are CBers and CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams identify themselves by continuing with the use of the uneducated errneous plural! "Jim" wrote in message ... From Kraus' 'Antennas', first edition, footnote on page 1: In its zoological sense, and antenna is the feeler, or organ of touch, of an insect. According to usage in the United States the plural of "insect antenna" is "antennae," but the plural of "radio antenna" is "antennas". However, the usage in England makes no distinction, the plural of both "insect" antenna" and "radio antenna" being "antennae." ************************ So for those not native to the USA or England, it depends on where your English teaher came from, I guess. |

etc.
Tomato gravy (see index) Fresh or at least freshly cooked spaghetti or other pasta Mix the ground meats together in a large bowl, then mix each of the other ingredients. Make balls about the size of a baby?s fist (there should be one lying around for reference). Bake at 400°for about 25 minutes - or you could fry them in olive oil. Place the meatballs in the tomato gravy, and simmer for several hours. Serve on spaghetti. Accompany with green salad, garlic bread and red wine. Newborn Parmesan This classic Sicilian cuisine can easily be turned into Eggplant Parmesan If you are planning a vegetarian meal. Or you could just as well use veal - after all, you have to be careful - Sicilians are touchy about their young family members... 6 newborn or veal cutlets Tomato gravy (see index) 4 cups mozzarella, 1cup parmesan, 1cup romano Seasoned bread crumbs mixed with parmesan romano salt pepper oregano garlic powder chopped parsley Flour eggwash (eggs and milk) Peanut oil for frying. Pound the cutlets. Dredge in flour, eggs, then the bread crumb mixture. Fry till g |

You need to discuss Ancient Greek and not Modern Greek.
AIUI, "Antennae" is not a word in the Greek style. What was the word from which you say a translation occurred? "Richard Clark" wrote in message ... On Sat, 25 Dec 2004 13:30:36 -0000, "Airy R.

So you cannot substantiate your assertion.
Most Greek words that I have encountered can be expressed phonetically in English. "Richard Clark" wrote in message ... On Sat, 25 Dec 2004 17:14:06 -0000, "Airy R.
