Hi Dale,

Ed Koon contacted me to say his system has died, a new one
is on order and it should be here Thursday or Friday :)

Thanks for the update. I know that a number of people here depend on
his system, at least in part.

Yes, it's true... and so I am glad he'll be back ASAP :)

Glad to see you back here -- stick around a bit more. We miss you.

Thanks Dale, I do read the echo often (as often as I can at least). Things are
generally going well with Ron's Aunt living here. Last week, the ambulance took her to the ER since she was feeling a bit off. She is over 99 now IIRC, and keeps us busy.

As the attendants were checking her and preparing to transport her to the ER one of them asked her how her appetite was, and was she eating ok? She said, Oh yes, _certainly_ and then said, 'you should see all the amazing things that Janis cooks here!' I smiled at that, it was funny to see her bragging to them about my cooking :)

Oh no.. my favorite Lol... I'll have to try it for sure :)

Here's another one I like - I always have some frozen fruit in the freezer here
for days when I need an ice cream fix <grin>

Frozen Peach Yogurt:

Ingredients
3 cups fresh peaches, approx. 3-4 medium peaches, sliced and pitted
2/3 cup plain greek yogurt
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp raw honey, melted

Instructions
Place the sliced and pitted peaches on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the peaches are separated and not touching each other or it will make them difficult to work with later. Place the peach slices into the freezer and freeze for at least 2-3 hours.

Add the frozen peaches to the food processor and process until they become evenly crumbly, but not pureed. Add in the raw honey, plain greek yogurt, and freshly squeezed lemon juice into the food processor, and process again until a
smooth, creamy consistency appears, about 2-4 minutes. You many need to scrape
down the sides once or twice along the way. (If you don't have a food processor, you could use a a blender.)

Once everything is smooth, taste for sweetness, and add additional honey as needed. You can serve immediately or transfer to air-tight container and freeze
for a couple hours for a harder consistency.

I always have greek yogurt here as well.. I make it in my Instant Pot, it is so
good and so easy.. :) I'll post more about that here in another message.

Janis

Title: Torsk Med Eggesaus *
Categories: Seafood, Eggs, Vegetables, Citrus
Yield: 6 Servings

1/2 c Salt
6 Codfish steaks; fresh,
- sliced 3/4" thick

MMMMM-------------------------EGG SAUCE------------------------------
1/4 lb Butter
1/4 c Hot fish stock (from above)
1 md Tomato; peeled, seeded,
- chopped
2 lg Hard cooked eggs; peeled,
- chopped
1 tb Chives; finely chopped
Salt & pepper

MMMMM---------------------ALTERNATE GARNISH--------------------------
8 tb Butter; melted
1 Lemon; thin sliced
Parsley sprigs

* Poached Codfish Steaks w/Egg Sauce

If you don't have a long, narrow fish poacher, an enamel
roasting pan 5" deep will do just as well. Fill the pan
with water to a depth of 4" and add 1/2 cup salt. Bring
to a boil (over two burners, if necessary), reduce heat
slightly and gently slide the cod slices into the water
with a spatula. Lower the heat until water is bubbling
slightly and simmer for about 5 minutes. Be careful not
to overcook or the fish will disintegrate. Remove the
slices with a slotted spatula and drain them on a linen
napkin or dish towel. Reserve stock for use in the egg
sauce. Arrange cod attractively on a heated platter and
serve with egg sauce.

EGG SAUCE: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from
the heat, beat in 1/4 cup of the stock in which you
poached the fish and stir in chopped egg, tomato, parsley
and chives. Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat almost to
the boiling point, pour into a sauceboat and serve with
the cod. If you prefer, you can simply pour melted butter
over the cod and garnish with lemon slices and parsley.
In Norway, this dish is often accompanied by raw diced
carrots, sprinkled with lemon juice and new potatoes.

Hi Dave,

Ed Koon contacted me to say his system has died, a new one is on order
and it should be here Thursday or Friday :)

Good ro know his absence from the internet machine is equipment related
and not health related.

His system and mine finally did connect last night :) as he mentioned, he did have a HUGE pile of mail awaiting his return <vbg>

problems are somehow hardware-computer related, and not related to
personal illness...

Wouldn't it be nice if we could pop in a new power supply or MoBo for
our bodies at need - without all the hassles currently involved. Admiral
Bob wrote a novel (I Will Fear No Evil - 1970) about that very subject.

Heh.. yes, that would be nice... :) Plugin-aid.. <g>

Mark Lewis has been off the air since Florence hit the southeast. I

suspect he's probably treading water as his area (Wilmington) got
hammered pretty badly.

He's reported in with some damage from all the flooding... 10Ft. covering some things there, some of that drained away AFAIK, I'm sure it's still not easy going over there. He said he has some drives that won't initialize, he's got a lot to do there... but at least he would seem to be ok!

=======Instant Pot Greel Yogurt - from Pressure Luck :) === http://pressureluckcooking.com/recipe.

Ingredients:

52 oz bottle of any whole or 2% Fairlife milk (or any ULTRA-PASTEURIZED milk ONLY - YOU CANNOT use regular milk when doing this method. But that's fine because Fairlife is super high in protein and calcium!). Canadians - use Natrel
Lactose Free milk (OR any Ultra-Pasteurized milk) since Fairlife isn't regularly available there!

(jk note, we definitely like 2% fairlife for Greek yogurt!)

2 Tablespoons of any PLAIN yogurt that has milk and live cultures in it.

An Instant Pot DUO, DUO Plus or Ultra model (the Lux model does not support yogurt making)

Jeff suggests using 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk, for sweetening for regular yogurt (eek <grin>)...

The Euro Cuisine strainer to strain the yogurt to make Greek Yogurt, so much easier than cheese cloth, etc.. I bought one of these on Amazon, it's GREAT!!! :)

(This text abreviated from the text on Jeffrey's site)

Step 1: The Incubating:
Place the Fairlife and yogurt (and condensed milk if using - which I suggest only for Regular/unstrained yogurt) in the Instant Pot and whisk together.
Secure the lid, hit the "Yogurt" button and Adjust so it's on the "Normal" or "Med" setting (it MUST be on this setting or it won't become proper yogurt).
The time should display 8 hours. If you want it more tangy in flavor, adjust the time up to 10 hours. (Note: the yogurt incubates and therefore will NOT come to pressure. That's how this works!)
Once done, the display will read "Yogt". Remove the lid (remember, there won't be any quick or natural releasing as it wasn't pressure cooked)

Step 2, Option 1: Regular (Unstrained) Yogurt If you want your yogurt to have that thick, smoother, creamy texture, there is no need to strain it.

Remove the liner pot from the Instant Pot (it won't be hot when you remove it), DO NOT MIX, cover the pot with tin foil and set in the fridge to chill from 4-8 hours (the longer, the better)
When ready to serve, you can place in individual containers/jars or leave it in one big bowl provided they all have nice, protective covers as yogurt must always remain covered to retain its state
Serve with fresh fruit, honey, granola or however you like it! (The yogurt will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge so long as it's securely covered)
Enjoy!

Step 2, Option 2: Greek (Strained) Yogurt If you want your yogurt to have that SUPER thick consistency almost like a cream cheese, we're going to strain it and do it Greek-style.

Take a Euro Cuisine (the best) yogurt strainer (or a colander lined with coffee filters), and once the liner pot is removed from the Instant Pot, pour it into the strainer and allow the whey (liquid) to separate from the yogurt. This is what's going to make it super thick (and will also make a magnificent base for dips like a Tzatziki)
Allow it to strain in the fridge for 4-8 hours (the longer, the better) with the top covered
When ready to serve, you can either save the whey (the drippings) for whatever you'd like (some love to make bread with it) OR you can discard it! Serve with fresh fruit, honey, granola or however you like it! You can also use
the Greek yogurt to make my awesome Tzatziki dip! (The yogurt will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge so long as it's securely covered)

Janis

I got a Dell certified refurbished Optiplex 980 from Amazon. Pricey at $166 plus tax, but with my Prime act shipping was free. It's as fast as a Ferrari! Look showroom new inside and out. Most of the Dell off lease factory refurbished units are from corporate offices etc in a controlled environment!

This is the 2nd machine i ordered. Bought my gf a Dell certified refurbished Optiplex 780 last summer. Went to my orders on Amazon and clicked buy it
again. I received a thilthy beat up old pos that was not from my original seller (Amazon FBA) but from some other banana republic seller. It was shipped back yesterday. Raised holy-hell with Amazon support for misrepresentation using their Buy It Again option. They covered the return shipping!

Ordered a SATA to USB adaptor cable to get Bap Stats and a couple other things that was not backed up on the other harddrive.

Very glad to hear that, and I'm sure that others will be as well.
There are people in this echo who depend on your BBS for their
fidonet fix, plus others who use you as a back up.

Just downloaded a slew of mail from Janis.

Do you know if you missed any mail from when you were down? Or lost
any during the crash?

From what I've seen, there was only potentially the one day's worth... I
saw a couple messages from MLoo to me (put up on Doc's earlier in the
day, presumably on the day it crashed) that showed up on TIny's, but
that weren't in my large packet I got from Doc's when he came back...
there may have been a few others from Doc's similarly, but they went out
just fine.... And otherwise, I think everything made it from Janis to
Ed.... :)

Mark Lewis has been off the air since Florence hit the southeast. I
suspect he's probably treading water as his area (Wilmington) got
hammered pretty badly.

ummm... Wilmington is on the coast whereas my location is in the center of the state... in fact, one track projection, on Wednesday before Florence made landfall, had the center of circulation right over this tri-county corner on Friday...

i was thinking about hightailing to Atlanta but slept on it and woke to find a new projection taking her directly to Atlanta... at that point, i decided to stay and tough it out... plus the really really major thing was what to do with my 23 Tolouse geese, 16 chickens, 6 cats (4 mine plus 2 strays), 2 Guinea Fowl, 1 fiesty game/bantam rooster and an English Fox Hound named Brody...

none of the cats or dog have been in a vehicle since they arrived here years ago... none of them are house trained... they're all outside critters and while they are all outside together, the cats and Brody are not especially friendly toward each other... the cats have the world and Brody has his, i guess the size, quarter acre pen to run around in...

so yeah, we decided to stay... our driveway is i guess 400 or 500 feet long and we're on top of a hill 30 or 40 feet higher than the road... it is a walk uphill that can take your breath... there was still a long ways to go for the water to get to the buildings... the day it started receeding, i marked where it was at 0730 and then again at 0930... in that time, the water had risen 4 inches and was still rising...

i walked out through the back woods and went to the corner where some friends live and the bridge across the Deep River is being replaced... the river was a lot higher than it was with Hurricane Fran back in 1996... we were using marks on the road to keep up with the flood level and about 1100 we noticed that the water was receeding from the RR crossing X painted on the road...

i came back home around 1630 and marked the driveway level again... i don't think it got any higher than that point while i was gone... so in an hour i could tell the water had pulled back maybe an inch... probably 1/8th of an inch drop in level... in two hours, the level had definitely dropped 1/2 an inch... in the morning, i drove my truck out and went to get something to eat that someone else had cooked! hahaha...

oh, that RR crossing X on the road? half way from there to the tracks the water was chest high on the road... so say 4 feet deep... i haven't gone down and measured how deep it got from the normal river level, though... i'd guess it was 30 feet or so...

the water on our property all came from the creek backing up... this creek starts at the neighbor's pond, runs across our property in the bottom behind the house and curves around to run parallel with our driveway all the way to the road... about a mile or so as the creek wanders, it joins with the Deep River in a swamp/marsh area... the rising water backed that creek up all the way back to the old logging road i walked out on... the only reason my feet got wet was because of the dew on the grass in our walnut tree field as i headed across it to the road and then to the corner to meet my friends...

Hi Mark,

stay and tough it out... plus the really really major thing was what to do wit >my 23 Tolouse geese, 16 chickens, 6 cats (4 mine plus 2 strays), 2 Guinea Fowl
1 fiesty game/bantam rooster and an English Fox Hound named Brody...

I understand that one... Not a group you can just pack up in your car easily :)
I know when we moved to Louisville from NY what a nightmare THAT was taking the whole fandamily in the car, (cats, dogs, everybody)... Stops for dog walks Lol.. Just once we did that.. flew after that for any and everything haha

none of the cats or dog have been in a vehicle since they arrived here years
ago... none of them are house trained... they're all outside critters and whil
they are all outside together, the cats and Brody are not especially friendly toward each other... the cats have the world and Brody has his, i guess the size, quarter acre pen to run around in...

Ha.. they sound like my 2 cats and our two dogs.. they are mostly fine when they are in different rooms or outside in their fenced area... but if the cats get too close to the dog, or if the cat decides to sniff the dog's food - war ensues.. We have vet appointments for the two dogs this week... so we'll take Sophie tomorrow, Indy the next day.. and the cats eh.. sometime later.. the ride in the car (25 min. drive to the vet) ought to be fun.. but I think 20-25 min. ride is about all I could take with any one of them these days <grin>. I wouldn't want to have to evacuate an area in a car with them :)

so yeah, we decided to stay... our driveway is i guess 400 or 500 feet long an
we're on top of a hill 30 or 40 feet higher than the road... it is a walk uphill that can take your breath... there was still a long ways to go for the water to get to the buildings... the day it started receeding, i marked where it was at 0730 and then again at 0930... in that time, the water had risen 4 inches and was still rising...

Scarey crap there... but I understand the decision.

drop in level... in two hours, the level had definitely dropped 1/2 an inch...
in the morning, i drove my truck out and went to get something to eat that someone else had cooked! hahaha...

Heh couldn't blame you there :)

I'm glad you and Brody and all the rest are good :)

Take care,
Janis

Sorry about moving you from the hills to the beach. Wilmington, Del and Wilmington, Cal are both on/near their coasts. Makes sense that the
North Carolina version wouldn't be in the mountains.

My experiences with North Carolina, other than a side trip to the (now abandoned) speedway that was the birthplace of NASCAR when picking up
a load of water heaters from Lowes in N. Wilkesboro and an excursion to
Level Cross and the Petty compound, have been on the Interstate system emulating that Russian chauffeur, Pikup Andropov. Bv)=

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Boris & Natasha's Print Russian Katleti Recipe
Categories: Poultry, Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Breads
Yield: 9 servings

1 lb Ground pork
1 lb Ground turkey
1 md Onion graded
1/2 c White bread crumbs
1 Egg
2 tb Fine chopped parsley
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Garlic powder
1/4 ts Ground pepper
1 tb Mayo
Olive Oil

Grate onion and chop parsley.

Use mixer bowl to combine meat, 1/2 cup of bread crumbs,
spices (1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp
ground pepper), 1 egg, 1 Tbsp of mayo, onion and
parsley. Mix everything well on a lower speed setting
(#3), or combine ingredients by hand if no mixer is
available.

Form patties using ice cream scoop to make even
portions. Makes approx. 20 patties. (don't try to
flatten them once they are on the skillet or juices will
seep out).

Heat about 4 Tbsp of olive oil over medium/high heat and
saute the patties (adding more oil if necessary) until
browned on both sides ( approx. 3 min on per site),
flipping twice so they don't burn. Set your oven to
400°F/205°C.

Remove patties of the skillet and place them in a glass
baking dish. Cover dish with foil and bake for 10
minutes.

Enjoy!

Servings: 8 - 10
