Dear Ed,
You have nicely re-hashed nostalgic memories.
Just to set you right:
Canjee is boiled in a 'budkudó' but put on the table in
a 'podgó' also an earthen pot that has a clay circle/bangle
at the bottom that makes it settle well on the table/ground.
Served in bidkuddó its soot would smear table, hands, etc.
Don't mind, we should bring up these words that will soon
disappear if we not hold on to them. That is why we should
thus complement each other's konkni writings.
Hav'nt heard from Domnic for quite a long while! Perhaps, is
taking his 'retirement' a wee bit to seriously.
Moi Mogan,
Alfred
