Only parents can get copies of their children.I was told that the practice was changed by the Pope's order to prevent baptizing of the dead.I was told that they would only make copies if I had my Bishop write to them.

From going to various halls in California, some of which are more of one island than another.. Malassadas is more what the people from Sao Miguel and Madeira call them.

I'm a southern California galwe have nicknames or shortened names for things, so I call them mallys but that's probably my own invention.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Dessert called Rosas do Egipto [Rosas do Egito] or Egyptian Roses?
It sounds like you are talking about rosettes which my Mom used to make for special events. You make a thin batter and dip the rosette iron into the batter and then place the rosette iron with the batter into the hot oil. It cooks quickly because it is very thin. It comes out looking very much like a doilie. When they are cold you dust them with powdered sugar. They are very flaky and delicious. Different islands call the recipes by different names so I can see where it would be called rosas de egito. There are various rose molds (hearts too). I have my Mom's rosette iron but have never made them. helen santa maria From: Joaquin Mendonca ftw...@sbcglobal.net To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Sun, August 14, 2011 9:52:35 AM Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Dessert called Rosas do Egipto [Rosas do Egito] or Egyptian Roses?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Dessert called Rosas do Egipto [Rosas do Egito] or Egyptian Roses?
Muito obrigada para todos!!! (Thank you very much, everyone) The novel I'm translating takes place in Nordeste, São Miguel, although as someone whose father was ¾ Florentino, I appreciate Debbie's information as well, from a personal viewpoint -- since I know so little re my family's hidden Portuguese ancestry (such a huge, forbidden secret), and this adds another clue to my search for my own destroyed roots. Also, I find it interesting how some traditions are universal throughout the Azorean archipelago, while others can be unique even within a region of just one island! The fried-in-oil dough described by Gayle, Margaret, Cheri, Linda and Donna is surely what the novelist is referring to. Allegedly, malassadas in the eastern Azorean islands are the same as what are called filhós in the central and western groups. Is that correct? I also sent an email with this inquiry to an immigrant friend originally from near Nordeste, and he said his mother loved them, made them, and used a dough-cutter to give them their characteristic shape. I replied a little while ago asking if that was a rosette shape, since I've yet to find any pictures of Rosas do Egipto online, but have yet to receive a reply. Will keep you posted if I learn more. I left my native Bay Area for back East long ago (long before I knew of my Portuguese heritage). Where we live in the diaspora, I literally do not know a single Azorean-American -- NOT ONE :-( If, like some of you lucky ones, I lived near a Portuguese bakery, I'd be one of their steadiest customers -- and probably one of their plumpest ones as well!!!
