Howdy! ALL!,

Here in the United States we observe Thanksgiving Day in November,
so I thought I would say "THANK YOU!" to the people who Run, Read and
Enter messages on BBS's.

In the 30+ Years I've used BBS's ran on Commodore, Apple ][,
PC Compatiable and Other computers, I have learned a lot from Reading,
Making Comments, Asking Questions and also seeing what Others write about
in BBS Echo Conferences about various topics they know about or want to
know (more) about.

Mostly about how to use my computer(s) to make my life easier.

THANKS for the many HINTS and SHORTCUTS about how to use my computer(s)
to make life easier here.

And THANKS! for all of the GOOD non-computer IDEAS I've found in other
Echo's that I read, such as: Amateur Radio, Bible, Doctor Who, Space, etc.

I enjoy being able to learn and share what I read in BBS Messages.

THANKS!

73 de Ed W9ODR . .

Howdy! ALL!,

Hi Ed!

I don't get in here as much as I used to, but often enough.

In the 30+ Years I've used BBS's ran on Commodore, Apple ][,
PC Compatiable and Other computers, I have learned a lot from Reading, Making Comments, Asking Questions and also seeing what Others write about in BBS Echo Conferences about various topics they know about or want to know (more) about.

Same here. I think the folks here had a fine time when I was 'beebopping to the beat of the bream' (when I was in Japan on 2 consecutive ships the bream would run into the sides of the hull and make a sort of beebopp sound that you could hear in the female CPO berthing). I'd regale them with ship's meals and places we pulled into.

Have fun!

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Xxcarol's Japan Thanksgiving
Categories: Xxcarol, Holiday, Cornish hen
Yield: 3 Servings

2 c Stuffing-baked
1 ea Cornish hen
1 lg Japanese sweet yam
2 c Rice- medium calrose
1/4 c Saki
1/4 c Smashed japanese grapes-red
3 sm Carrots- sliced pretty
2 md Japanese cucumbers
3 sl Bitter melon
4 ea Green onions- whole
1 c Red beans- sweet

Ok, whaddaya do when you get in port at 6pm day the day before
Thanksgiving?

You start by defrosting the only 'bird' ya got! That was a cornish
hen. Split 3 ways, it's not alot of meat but we have the other stuff
to makeup for that. Make up stuffing (I used bagged pepperidge farm)
and stuff the hen as much as reasonably possible. The rest goes in a
baking dish to the side.

Make a batch of rice in the ricemaker and in the steamer above, add
the red beans (pre-cooked) and the bitter melon slices.

Slice the sweet yam and add to it the saki and mashed grapes. Add
sufficient water to cover and taste test for sweetness once the yams
are done. Add molasses or light karo syrup to taste.

Baste the hen with the sauces from the yam pot (add more to yam pot as
needed).

Steam or blanche the carrots lightly then add the fresh cucumber. A
dab of sugared ginger atop makes it perfect! No dressing neededbut
if you insist, make it a sweet-vinigary one.

5 mins before the hen is done, lace the green onions into a chain and
ring them around the bird.

When all is done, put the hen on a platter with the yams to the side
and use an ice-cream scoop to ball up stuffing on the other side.
Place green onion ring around it all and the carrots/cucumbers
towards the feet. In this case, a lazy-susan dish is perfect if
large! I added rice and sweet beans to the head portion of mine
(extra at the stove) and put a slice of bitter melon on each plate.

Dessert? We were too stuffed! But we had on the ready, fresh
tangerines and vanilla ice-cream. Line the dish with the tangerine
slices then add a scoop of ice-cream. Drizzle with chocolate syrup.
