Great minds must think alike, PJ = I was looking at KAF's recipe for kringle this past week - Doesn't Wisconsin claim bragging rights to that too? And you're complaining about temps in the high 80's? It's been in the 90's/100's for the last month or more, and no break in sight - and drought conditions now. By the way, I picked some Ginger Golds last week - they arrived 3 weeks early because of the heat. Rather tart, but that should be good in a pie, right? Wow, Ginger golds already?! That is SOME early, Beth... As for the heat - it's been in the 90s every day, "cools" down to the 80s at dusk, to the high 70s at night. And yeah, I'm complaining! Remember, we don't have AC up here - my kitchen has been as hot as 99°F - without the oven or stove on. You have to admit, that's hot! Kringle - is from Racine, Wisconsin. I'd forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder of that holiday treat- PJH
