    Sufficient to the moment that we're both still here. You can pick your friends, and you can pick your mate. But you can't pick your ancestors without a really good PR firm. Bv)=

    My mother has researched her geneology back 18 generations and has a
    list of 50+ famous people we're related to. Fascinating to look at. I need to work on my own personal geneology as my birth father's lineage dies off with me since I have no children. It's something I should do
    for my nieces and nephew so they know their full family history.

    My sister, Georgia, cares about stuff like that. I know who my nears
    and dears are and that's sufficient for my purposes. Had my DNA sampled
    once - to eliminate me as a "Daddy" in a paternity case. Phew! Because
    my name was certainly in the hat. Bv)=

    Other than that - nothing. I did raise a girl - but she wasn't from me.
    Must have done a decent job of it. When she married I was invited to
    the ceremony and her birth father very pointedly was not.

    When both of my (now ex-) mothers-in-law asked me if I had any children,
    both times I said "not that I know of". Both then-wives turned white as a sheet. :D

    Like my stepfather; he's been my dad for 41 years now. While I do talk to
    my birth father, I consider my stepfather to be my dad.

    My sister-in-law refers to her 1st husband a "The Sperm Donor". Lexi is
    a vary astute young lady.

    Hard to find a "Burton" for this without getting "gross". There are
    lots of semen recipes and cookbooks out there. Itsa minefield. Bv)=

    Sadly, I understand exactly what Raine means as I feel the same way in my situation.

    I was thinking about you when I MM'd this recipe the other day. I'll split this into two messages with two recipes...

    Categories: Korean, Asian, Cookies, Desserts, Seandennis
    Yield: 28 Servings

    MMMMM------------------------OMIJA DASIK-----------------------------
    1/4 c Glutinous rice flour
    2 T Dried omija
    1/2 c Water
    1 T Plus 1 t honey

    MMMMM----------------------GREEN PEA DASIK---------------------------
    1/4 c Dried split green peas
    2 T Honey

    MMMMM---------------------PINE POLLEN DASIK--------------------------
    1/4 c Pine pollen powder
    2 T Honey

    MMMMM------------------BLACK SESAME SEED DASIK-----------------------
    1/4 c Toasted (roasted) black
    -- sesame seeds
    1 T Honey

    *** Omija dasik:

    1. Combine the dried omija and the water in a container and let it
    sit for 24 hours until the water turns red.

    2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the glutinous rice flour.
    Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until it turns to light creamy and
    smells a little toasty and nutty. Remove from the heat and transfer
    to a small bowl.

    3. Add the omija water and the honey. Mix it well with a small wooden
    spoon and then knead it by hand until it sticks into one lump of
    dough.

    4. Divide the dough into 7 equal size portions and insert them into
    the top frame of the mold (you may need to do in batches if your mold
    holds less than 7). Gently and firmly press and smooth each cookie
    into the mold by hand.

    5. Gently lift the bottom frame of the mold so that the cookies pop
    out the top.

    6. Remove each cookie and set on a plate, patterned part up. Serve
    with tea.

    *** Green pea dasik:

    1. Wash the peas and drain the water. Heat a skillet over medium heat
    and add the peas.

    2. Cook the peas, stirring with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes
    until light brown. Remove from the heat.

    3. Transfer the peas into a spice grinder (or a coffee grinder) and
    grind into a fine powder.

    4. Combine the ground peas and the honey in a small bowl and mix well
    with a small wooden spoon. Then knead it by hand until it all sticks
    into one lump of dough.

    5. Divide the dough into 7 equal size portions and insert them into
    the top frame of the mold (you may need to do in batches if your mold
    holds less than 7). Gently and firmly press and smooth each cookie
    into the mold by hand.

    6. Gently lift the bottom frame of the mold so that the cookies pop
    out the top.

    *** Pine pollen dasik:

    1. Combine the powder and the honey in a small bowl and mix well with
    a small wooden spoon. Then knead it by hand until it all sticks into
    one lump of dough.

    2. Divide the dough into 7 equal size portions and insert them into
    the top frame of the mold (you may need to do in batches if your mold
    holds less than 7). Gently and firmly press and smooth each cookie
    into the mold by hand.

    3. Gently lift the bottom frame of the mold so that the cookies pop
    out the top.

    4. Remove each cookie and set on a plate, patterned part up. Serve
    with tea.

    *** Black sesame seed dasik:

    1. Wash the black sesame seeds in a strainer under running water.
    Drain well.

    2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Cook the
    seeds, stirring with a wooden spoon for about 7 to 8 minutes until
    they turn crunchy and smell nutty.

    3. Remove from the heat. Transfer the seeds into a spice grinder (or a
    coffee grinder) and grind into a fine powder and a little sticky.

    4. Sift through a fine stainless-steel strainer to get a powder. Use a
    spoon to press as much of the powder through as you can. Discard the
    leftover stuff caught by the strainer.

    5. Combine the sesame seeds powder and the honey in a small bowl. Mix
    it well with a small wooden spoon until it all sticks into one lump
    of dough. You don't have to knead it.
