Nice tasty "croissant" rolls with raisins and other goodly stuff. I've had variants called the same name... but you never know what my grandmother will change next time. She calls them all Boterkoeken, but I don;t know if she is right or not. I don't speak any version of Dutch. There are a couple of bakeries that sell only "real" stuff, one in Overisel and one in Vriesland, both connected to homes. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
