Another thing to try, Toni is--- press down the cap lock and hold it while you punch the double quotation marks, then let both keys go and then press the o or O and see if that will do it for you. Let me know, please.
Toni... to get o with the dots... try this: Hold down the "Alt" key. And on your numeric keypad - looks like a calculator - (not the usual numbers on the top row of your keyboard) type in 0247.
Sjoerd, nope that way didn't work. Cheryl, that type of symbol creating only works if you are using Windows as your operating system. I have Linux as my operating system so none of the Windows specific programs or systems will work for me anymore.
Okay folks, here's what we'll do. When Toni posts about gløgg, or glögg, we all get out our little marking pens and make two dots or a crosshatch on the o. My husband is going to be thrilled with all the little marks on our monitor!
Funny you should say that because when I first realized I couldn't make the two dots, my brain time-warped back several years and for a split nano-second I thought.....well, I can put them there with a pencil.
When our boys were growing up we had fish every Christmas for dinner. I would get most of the dinner prepared and dr and the boys would trek down to the Washington Island Fish Market and buy fish already cooked and fries, etc. The man was Icelandic and always had a big kettle of glogg on a heater for all the customers to try. He had these little glasses and with dr's permission would let the boys have a "taste." I think that's what they always wanted on Christmas eve was a visit to the fish market. When they were older they would buy ingredients and we would make our own. It's been a good many years since I have had any but it's a fond memory. dooley
I think I have had Glogg before. A friend of mine is Lithuanian and always had some around the holidays. It was served in very small glasses and was thick and very sweet. Does this sound like Glogg?
Not like my kind of gløgg, Cheryl. It's not thick, sweet but not very, and could be compared to heated, dark red lemonade with cinnamon. We drink it from mugs or tall glasses.
Droopy... it must not have been Gloog that I had. Now I'm going to drive myself crazy trying to remember the name of it. Guess I could always give her a phone call and ask, huh?
It could be gløgg, made the Lithuanian way. There are probably dozens of recipes floating about. Literally.
