• 155 travel was was overf / was crusty

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to BILL SWISHER on Thursday, March 28, 2019 11:04:10
    Every now and again I try to remember what my
    first airline was and sometimes figure it out and
    promptly forget. Ozark or National or something.
    Sometime late in 1961, USAF MATS Super Constellation (L-1049), Honolulu
    to San
    Francisco.

    Webbed in, or did you actually get a seat?

    I've never had to travel in one of those but have
    toured various of the aircraft. Didn't make me want
    to try to go back in time and try to change my
    ineligibility for service.

    Ceps Brimaud
    categories: French, starter, side, IMH
    Yield: 6 servings

    12 md fine cepes
    2 md shallots
    2 cloves garlic
    1 ts curry powder
    3 Tb olive oil
    1 bn parsley
    3 Tb breadcrumbs
    8 lg tomatoes; more if smaller
    50 g butter
    4 Tb olive oil
    4 Tb breadcrumbs
    salt and pepper

    Concasser the tomatoes as usual (peel, seed and
    disgorge) - alternatively, peel, halve, seed and
    disgorge, then cut each half in two pieces.

    Carefully clean the cepes. Skin and chop the
    shallot and garlic, wash and chop the parsley.

    Fry the tomatoes in the butter until they have
    lost their moisture and reduced somewhat.

    Chop the stalks of the cepes finely. Put the
    smaller quantity of oil in a frying pan, and
    fry the chopped stalks with the shallot and
    garlic. Cook on highish heat 5 min and then
    add the chopped parsley, salt, pepper and
    curry powder. Now add the smaller quantity of
    breadcrumbs (1) and continue frying until
    lightly coloured.

    Heat the oven to a moderate temperature 165C/325F.

    Layer the tomatoes in the base of an oven proof
    dish, large enough to hold the c˙pes in one layer.
    Divide the stuffing mixture between the cepe
    caps, and sprinkle 1 ts oil over each cap. Now
    arrange caps on the tomatoes in the pan,
    sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs over and bake
    until the caps are tender, about 15 min or a bit
    longer if they are very large. Serve very hot.

    Quoting Michael Loo to Bill Swisher <=-

    A real seat, plane was set up for transporting people. Not only a real seat...but my dad, even though he was a lowly enlisted type guy (he was one of the crew chiefs for the mechanics when one of the C-124's came into Hickam, finagled us seats right over the wing, this being the age of low slow bumpy flying.

    Went to Food City today and found Dr. Pepper made with real sugar, in the US. Gotta bottle cooling right now. It's 11:30 and 82F, temps will go up to probably 90F, according to my thermometer. So it'll be welcomed this afternoon.
