Thanks Kat. The recipe sounds likely. I obviously have a problem with spelling Finnish words correctly, but heck ... who doesn't! Years ago when my Father and I were taking language lessons from a recent Finnish transplant, the teacher and Father got into arguments about proper spelling and usage. It turned out that Father's language was the 'old Finn' that came with his Mother into America in 1896. Back to viili. My daughter loved it when she was a kritter, but she often ate it all without replenishing the pot. She liked it with strawberry jam. Yum yum! ... Bob
