I looked up the word for butter in Hungarian, Russian, German, Czech, and Yiddish thinking that it might be from one of those, but no luck.Bretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05983598325944513337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971925694114037421.post-90182700332363355512008-02-25T12:10:00.000-08:002008-02-25T12:10:00.000-08:00Great blog idea! I love it.<BR/><BR/>I also read this as a pinch of salt (as I mentioned by email), and I agree with Erika that the 1 1/2 ____ is referring to butter. I want to read it as "love," but only because in our kitchen, "made with love" means "made with butter." From the actual letters it looks like "bore" -- we have seen her letters b, o, r, and e before. Could that be phonetic for butter? <BR/><BR/>MeetaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971925694114037421.post-77949576439078504042008-02-22T11:40:00.000-08:002008-02-22T11:40:00.000-08:00As usual, Sam beat me to the punch--I was writing to say that a pinch of salt is what Bubbie must have meant. Also I think the 1 1/2 must refer to some kind of butter or shortening--that's the only thing missing from this recipe!<BR/><BR/>ErikaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971925694114037421.post-37105839341267790442008-02-21T13:11:00.000-08:002008-02-21T13:11:00.000-08:00definitely, any idea what the first thing might be?Bretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05983598325944513337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971925694114037421.post-50606476819473475862008-02-21T12:38:00.000-08:002008-02-21T12:38:00.000-08:00"Solt pincz" is definitely "salt pinch," i.e., a pinch of salt.Samnoreply@blogger.com
