Well, and possibly also that people are >annoyed by having to hold something covered on every surface by >confectioners' sugar :-P Better than having to hold onto it *without* the confectioner's sugar. That stuff is *sticky* in its unpowdered state. Karen Anderson (in pace requiescat) once did a Zimiamvian dinner to celebrate the date on which the main character supposedly left this tawdry world to return to the legendary one. All the food (there were several courses) came from mentions in one or another of Eddison's novels. Astrid and I were the serving wenches, and Hal was the wine* steward. Karen made TD, under its proper name Rahad Lokoum, with rosewater and, IIRC, without powdered sugar because it would've covered up the gold leaf. _____ *Strictly speaking, wine-and-alternative steward, because Fritz Leiber was one of the guests and he was on the wagon. -- Dorothy J.
