Here is a hint for a better "cured" stone... Rub a light coating of pure peanut oil on all sides of the stone... and then wipe as much oil off as you can and then put stone in a 210 deg F oven for a couple hours... do this few times , and - as you use it it will develop a nice carbon nonstick coating.

LOL, thanks - I am on the warpath to find the "perfect" rendition - I have multiple versions by Juha Tapio, Club For Five, Joel Hallikainen, YL Voice Choir, Larui Tahka, etc.

I also find the Finnish practice of visiting family graves and lighting candles on Christmas Eve absolutely beautiful and poignant.

"Never seen anybody so in love like Cosmo back then! He’d stand outside the house all day and look in the windows. I never told you this cause it’s not really a story. But one time I woke up in the middle of the night cause this bright Light was in my face. Like a flashlight. I couldn’t think a what it was. I looked out the window, and it was the moon! Big as a house! I never seen the moon so big before or since. I was almost scared, like it was gonna crush the house. And I looked down, and standing there in the street was Cosmo, looking up at the windows. This is the funny part. I got mad at you, Cosmo! I thought you brought this big moon over to my house cause you were so in love and woke me up with it. I was half asleep I guess" - Moonstruck 1987
