I think DOCs may be having problems .... or maybe it's FIDO. I posted
a packet of 20 recipes via Janis' BBS. Normally those show up at Doc's
in a half-hour or less. Here it is 90 minutes later and they still
aren't showing up at Ed's board. They are, however, on Sean's Outpost, Shawn's Tiny's BBS and Marc Lewis' Waldo's BBS.

Perhaps he is just not polling as often. I am getting your messages
that you post in two other echos and Ed and I get our mail from the
same sorce (Janis). I don't see them on Docs because I rarely look at anything there other than Cooking echo.

I post 20 per day (10 each in Home Cooking and Recipes) via Doc's. And
a varying amount (10 or more) to each of those two echoes from one of a rotating selection of four BBSes that I frequent. None of those I posted yesterday or today showed up on Ed's BBS. The 20 I posted last night on
Doc's didn't go anywhere I check. And this morning's packet from there
was all posts from Nancy and MLoo - posted on Doc's directly. I suspect
Ed may get his stuff from Marc Lewis' SESTAR. And that may be where the constipation occurs. The 20 posts I dropped in the pot there at 03:35
central have not appeared anywhere (yet) and normally they would be
tossed and filed within 30 to 45 minutes. I've e-mailed Marc about my suspicions.

Probably need to get the net cops on the case. Bv)=

Not clear -- but if you think that there is a problem, feel free to
talk to him via email and/or area 2 on his BBS. I see nothing wrong
-- just that Cooking seems to be going through a few days of light
mail.

See above. I've also left a note on area 2 @ Doc's. This ain't just a
matter of light mail in Cooking.

Shifting gears - I have noticed that the recipe sources that I use
seem to have abandoned chicken breast as their default chicken meat and gone over to thighs/legs. In the past 60 days all of the recipes I have read for chicken have specified thighs/legs with nary a mention of
breasts unless referencing parting out a whole bird.

Makes no difference -- folks would substitute whichever preference they have anyhow.

Well, yes, we always do. I just thought it neat that they're coming
around to the taste side of things rather than the "automatic" entry
practice. Now, if I can just get them to call out a "rib" of celery or
a "stick" when that is the meaning instead of "stalk" which is actually
a bunch or "head" for celery - and a lot of darned crunchy greenish
stuff.

They're all still in love with Kosher salt as their default salt
unless they are specifying "sea salt". Seldom see just plain ol' "salt" mentioned. If there is no quantity measure on the call for salt the "Kosher" part somehow gets lost in the shuffle when I pound it into my Meal Master. BV/=

The difference between regular salt and the other two is that regular
salt has iodine added. Kosher is also a larger granule, which has some effect on things like rubs but little to none used when cooking in a liquid recipe.

Sea Salt has naturally occurring iodine. As does some Kosher salt - if
made from evaporating sea water as the "original" Kosher salt was. I do
know that most of the Kosher salt sold in USA is actually large crystal
(plain) salt.

I buy both iodised and non-iodised table salt. Not all "regular" salt
has iodine in it. I'm not in the least concerned about missing the
0.002 to 0.004% iodine in my table salt. There is enough iodised salt
in the processed food I ingest regularly that my worries about goiter
and other thyroid problems from its lack are nil.

If I am making a batch of my Yaaahhh Hoooaaa Aahhh Hot Sauce I make sure
the salt is non-iodised as the potassium iodide/iodate turn the garlic
cloves a particularly vile shade of pale blue-violet much like a bruise.

directly. I suspect Ed may get his stuff from Marc Lewis' SESTAR. And
that may be where the constipation occurs. The 20 posts I dropped in

My QWK packet tonight had twenty with title Five 4671 to 4710 in each of
two echos. All were posted at Doc's. All went from Doc's to Janis to
me. There were also ten other messages with title St. Alban which were
posted at SEStar, and then to me via Janis. Ed may get some stuff from
Marc, I cannot speak to that -- but your messages did not go up to Marc
but went up to Janis.

I'm not seeing any problem -- other than things are not moving as fast
as you might like them to.

Annnnnnndddd it turns out there was a combination of problems - both at
Doc's and at SESTAR. I may not know the exact net architecture and flow
charts. But I *DO* know when there is a problem

I upgraded my network to Windows 10 recently. Wanted to keep this box
on W7 but MS removed the homegroup making networking my weekly backup inoperative. Was forced to update the bbs machine to W10, but to my
surprise the BBS came right up with no errors. BUT W10 notified me with
a popup an update was needed. That popup interrupted the mail tosser.

All should be well.. for now anyway.. :)

To: me

turns out that was a local problem here... we had a power outage
yesterday... when i brought the system back up, i forgot to cd to the
proper directory for the mailer to run from... as a result, it couldn't
find the outbound pkt files to send... made a real mess of things when
the flo files that list the pkts were deleted... had to do some fancy
command line stuffs to figure out which of the thousands of pkts where
destined to which system and to then recreate the flo files... got that
all finished, though... was quite happy to not have to do all that by
hand... i'd probably be still working on it tomorrow and that would have
been even more complicated by the new mail arriving and being processed
at the same time...

Title: Globe & Mail's Just Right Burger

Yield: 4 Servings

375 g (12 oz) chuck; in 1" pcs
375 g (12 oz) sirloin; in 1" pcs
1 ts Kosher salt
1/2 ts Fresh ground pepper

This recipe requires you to grind the meat yourself.

Place meat in a food processor and pulse about 10 times or
until meat looks coarsely ground. Season with salt and
pepper. Preheat barbecue to high. Form into 4 (1"thick)
patties and grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side or until
desired degree of doneness.

For the All Canadian Version, serve with sliced red onions,
sliced tomatoes, Dijon mustard, pickles and cole slaw.

Onion rings and sautéed mushrooms are my favourite sides.

As I'd finally gotten back home and could post (and subsequently, got
behind again, what with reading and other stuff needing to be taken care of)....

I suspect Ed may get his stuff from Marc Lewis' SESTAR. And
that may be where the constipation occurs. The 20 posts I dropped in
the pot there at 03:35 central have not appeared anywhere (yet) and normally they would be tossed and filed within 30 to 45 minutes. I've e-mailed Marc about my suspicions.

Title: Docpepr's New World Spamanero Salad
Categories: Pork, Chilies, Fruits, Salads
Yield: 1 Servings

12 oz Tin Spam
2 lg Hard-boiled eggs
1/4 sm Onion
2 Seeded, stemmed habaneros
1/4 c Crushed pineapple
Salad dressing (NOT mayo)
+=OR=+
Aioli; Greek-style garlic/
- egg /olive oil mayonnaise

Chop Spam (after pouring off the slime), onions, eggs
and habaneros in a blender, food processor, Spam, -uh
I mean- Meat grinder. I recommend fine/puree or when
Spam is unrecognizeable. Mix in the pineapple (can use
small chunks for crunchiness, or sweet pickle relish
for those who don't care for pineapple). Add Salad
Dressing until a smooth consistency is reached (aioli
can be used for those who like a hint of garlic)

Eat as dip, or as a center piece in a bed of lettuce or
perhaps serve with a Tuna Salad version and see which
one receives the greater number of ..umm.. remarks.

Serves 6-8 (or two Texans*)
