Spiders, Thanks to the many of you who responded to my mystification with regard to "dsps." I now know that this is a "dessert spoon" and that it is roughly two teaspoons, half a tablespoon. This sounds like a "vintage" measure, yet none of my 100-year-old cookbooks have it.
Now I can make the sweet shortcrust pastry dough I need for the tarts, and make use of the two dozen strawberries I picked from the garden yesterday. I finally "planted" a dish of beer amidst the strawberries yesterday -- I'm told this will help greatly in keeping the slugs away from MY strawberries. I don't like "prior usage" on my berries.
