Thanks for the recipe, Martha. (I was really intrigued by the recipes 
from Jacquelyn Kuehn in the Summer Pomona, too. I drool just thinking 
about the Strawberry-Rhubarb Coffee Cake.)

Although I don't usually cook, and I don't really want to start,... I 
also hate to waste anything. If I'm growing something, I want to eat it! 
(One reason why summer gardening is such a good thing for me, because I 
never even look at the vegetables in the grocery store - but I'll eat 
them, and greatly enjoy them, if I grow them myself.)

And when it comes to currants, I'm apparently going to have to cook them 
- or at least add sugar. So far, I've just stuck them in the freezer, 
but I'm making a note of all these recipes and maybe I'll try some this 
winter.

Thanks again,

Bill
