    Quoting Michael Loo to Ruth Haffly <=-

    "XYZ for Dummies".
    I never bought any ...

    I've seen the series prominently at times displayed in
    bookstores, which struck me amusing as the customers
    of bookstores generally aren't dummies and don't
    perceive themselves as dummies.

    I have bought several over the years including the very first one,
    "DOS for Dummies". They are extremely well organized, written and
    indexed with clear and concise jargon-free language. I found them
    to be much more useful than more technical books, unless one is a
    real boffin.

    Another beef treatment ...

    beef sirloin in cream sauce

    Svickova na smetane or beef sirloin in cream sauce is a typical
    Czech dish and one of the most popular Czech meals. It is sirloin
    steak marinated overnight and prepared with vegetables (carrots,
    parsley root, celeriac and onion), spiced with black pepper,
    juniper, allspice, bay leaf and thyme, and boiled with double cream.
    It is generally served with houskove knedloky (bread dumplings)

    In most restaurants and canteens the staff actually boils the beef,
    instead of baking it.

    It is served with a cream (smetana) topping and usually with
    cranberry sauce and a slice of lemon in many restaurants around the
    Czech Republic.

    Svickova made by the descendents of Bohemian immigrant in the
    Chicago area rarely includes vegetables in its final presentation,
    but instead incorporates them into a vinegar-based marinade suffused
    with crushed allspice and bay leaves.
