looking for an old recipe

I was looking for a recipe for peanut dumplings. My great grandmother used
to make them. She used a yeast dough. Ground peanuts, sugar & ?? for the
filling then after she boiled them would sprinkle them with more ground
peanuts & sugar.

It's GGma recipe. Googling does not yield a recipe. Does anyone know of this
recipe?

Thanks for any assistance you may give.

I've changed the posting to include rec.food.historic. There are a
bunch of folks there who know a lot about old time recipes.

Questions, if you know: Where was this and did others in the area do
anything like it? Was it a regional dish? Have you ever seen anything
else like it?

Anybody heard of anything like this?

I really dislike crossposting. As a reader of both groups, it is a pain in
the ass. It is not a nice thing to do. Please restrain yourself.

I'm sorry you have such difficulty with crossposting and I'm sorry you
think trying to help somebody with a problem is a pain in the ass.

I think little preachy notes like yours are a pain in the ass. PLease
restrain yourself. See how silly it sounds?

Now, anybody know anything about peanut dumplings? Yeast dough wrapped
around a peanut and other things filling and boiled.

Looking at the message I sent, I can understand why it doesn't make as
much sense as it could. Someone in rec.food.cooking is looking for a
recipe for peanut dumplings like her great-grandmother used to make
and I crossposted her question here because I couldn't imagine who
else might know. In the process, I somehow deleted the notes at the
top of the post so, as it appeared here, it didn't even make sense to
me. The questions above were directed at the original poster.

Once worked for a guy who said, "Don't write it so they can understand
it; write it so they can't misunderstand it." I failed rather
emphatically with this one.

Thanks for these. I'll forward them to the questioner for her dining

Thanks.

What do you need bitten?

No difficulty. Don't like it.

I never said that. I said your crossposting is a pain in the ass.

> I think little preachy notes like yours are a pain in the ass.

I'm glad you found my note to be peachy.

PLease
> restrain yourself. See how silly it sounds?

Nope. Can't say I do Bob.

Yes, it is silly, Charlie, and your claiming that posting to several 'food'
groups in search of or to relay information is anything but appropriate
labels you as a (not uniquely, of couse) silly ass.

The cross posting was minimal, limited to appropriate groups and on point.
It also provided information which otherwise might not have been available.

So, in the interest of good order and discipline, bugger off to Buffalo or
somewhere wher your pedantic tiresomeness might be appreciated.

One can avoid this whole "crossposting" nastiness by adding a "followup-to"

an invitation to the other groups to join in the discussion. Notice that I
put a warning at the top of this message to so anyone not in r.f.h who
replies without being familiar with "followup-to" will be able to find
their post. Perhaps the warning should be at the top of my comments? I dunno.

I've noticed that. Odd.

Not needed. I can find others to perform that action for me.

This is my first whine in many months on r.f.c. and the first in years on
r.f.h. Your ability to withstand tiresomeness is quite low. I am guilty of
being pedantic more often - I was trained in the art of pedagogy. I have
never been to Buffalo nor do I have a special desire to visit that location.
BTW, what do you know about my buggery? Are you trying draw me out on the
subject? Nevertheless, I almost always enjoy your posts so I will continue
to read them.

How about restraining your criticism? I think adding rec.food.historic
was an entirely appropriate use of the crossposting feature -- the
original poster said it was his great-grandma's recipe. He didn't
crosspost to alt.mobilehomes or alt.barney.die-die-die, for Pete's sake.
