Missionaries I'm not so sure about, but there
weren't many of them before the war, with the
biggest presence from Russia.

Possibly some, I know one Southern Baptist one died in Tokyo on
Christmas day in the 18 ( think) 80s. She'd been a missionary to China
and was on her way home but died of starvation.

Sad story but tends to make my point
about people not wanting to subject their
loved ones to that kind of hardship.

Unless the family was particularly adventuresome.

And suicidal!

foolish enough to subject it to the difficulties.

He looked pretty Semitic (being of mixed Jewish

I'm not sure if he was oblivious, defiant, or
just practically going about his business without
regard to potential difficulties. He was possibly
an advisor (the proper spelling of that word,
"adviser" being a word that stinks to my eye, to
misquote Eduard Hanslick's review of a Tchaikovsky
piece) to the government (which would have possibly
made him immune to normal suspicions); his sister
intimated as much to me, but the time frame is
unclear regarding that.

Amusing - perhaps you should bring it to a
picnic. Perhaps we can have a nonfood activity
where we all bring pictures of ourselves in
incongruous settings.

Right now I've no idea where it is, except in one of many boxes.

Therein lies the benefit of the 21st century
custom of digitizing everything, but there are
risks to that as well.

Phyllo (Fillo) Dough
categories: vegan, g/f, possibly KfP
yield: 1 batch
3 1/2 c all-purpose gluten-free flour, plus
- more for sprinkling (I used Better Batter)
3/4 c Expandex modified tapioca starch
1 ts kosher salt
1/4 c extra-virgin olive oil
1 md lemon, juice only
1 1/2 c lukewarm water

Looks like it would be KFP; I don't see any leavening in it.

There are lots of things that will make something
not KfP, starting with the method of processing of
the g/f flour and the Expandex and continuing with
the certification (I've heard that some g/f flours
are KfP but have seen no mention of Expandex being so).

Hi Michael,

Missionaries I'm not so sure about, but there
weren't many of them before the war, with the
biggest presence from Russia.

Possibly some, I know one Southern Baptist one died in Tokyo on Christmas day in the 18 ( think) 80s. She'd been a missionary to

China > and was on her way home but died of starvation.

Sad story but tends to make my point
about people not wanting to subject their
loved ones to that kind of hardship.

This was a single lady who'd spent most of her adult life as a
missionary to China. Even gave up a lot of her food allotment in her
later years so others would have the food.

exchange, and as far as I am aware, there was
no incentive for a trader to bring family to
raise, especially in Japan.

Unless the family was particularly adventuresome.

And suicidal!

Or crazy.

Maybe so, but don't tell them.

He looked pretty Semitic (being of mixed Jewish
heritage).

I imagine there were a few (mentally) raised eyebrows then among his fellow passengers.

I'm not sure if he was oblivious, defiant, or
just practically going about his business without

misquote Eduard Hanslick's review of a Tchaikovsky
piece) to the government (which would have possibly
made him immune to normal suspicions); his sister
intimated as much to me, but the time frame is
unclear regarding that.

But he wasn't taken off the flight, as might happen today.

Amusing - perhaps you should bring it to a
picnic. Perhaps we can have a nonfood activity
where we all bring pictures of ourselves in

True, this was taken, IIRC, about 2005. We could have scanned/saved it
that way then but.................

I've never heard of Expandex before--sounds like something to use in a waistband. (G)

Make pork steaks with a side of pasta with an al fredo sauce--much
simpler. (G)
