    Okay it's just not popular here then. :) I'll try some of the discount places when I'm in next.

    I don't know if this helps but I found this:

    Title: Queen Elizabeth Cake
    Categories: Canadian, Cakes
    Yield: 1 servings

    1 c -Boiling water
    1 c Dates;chopped
    1 ts Baking soda
    1/2 c Butter
    1 c Sugar,granulated
    1 Egg
    1 ts Vanilla
    1 1/2 c Flour,all purpose
    1 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts -Salt

    MMMMM----------------------BROILED TOPPING---------------------------
    1/4 c Butter
    1/2 c Brown sugar;packed
    1/4 c Light cream
    3/4 c Coconut;shredded;half nuts
    -if desired

    "This date and nut cake always included a broiled topping. Lazy Daisy
    was a plain cake with the same topping. ... Queen Elizabeth cakes
    have appeared in cook books coast to coast for many years. Some claim
    that the recipe was a favorite of the Queen Mother and given to
    worthy groups as a fund raiser during World War II. One from Quebec's
    Eastern Townships includes the footnote that says that, "This is not
    to be passed on but must be sold for charitable purposes for 15 cents."

    In a reply to our query about the name of this recipe, the Queen
    Mother's Lady-in-Waiting writes: "I fear I have to tell you that,
    although we have known about this recipe for many years, it did not
    originate from either Buckingham Palace or Clarence House...However
    as Her Majesty always made it a rule, due to the number of requests
    receieved, never to give "favorite recipes", I fear that I have to
    tell you that you that should you wish to include this recipe in any
    cookbook, it should only be called a 'date and walnut cake' with no
    reference to the Queen Mother."

    Pour water over dates and soda; let stand until lukewarm. In bowl,
    cream butter with sugar; beat in egg and vanilla. Mix together flour,
    baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with date
    mixture. Spread in a greased and floured 9 inch square cake pan. Bake
    in 350F oven for 40 minutes or until tester comes out clean.

    Broiled Topping: In a small heavy saucepan, combine butter, packed
    brown sugar, light cream and coconut (half nuts if desired). Bring to
    a boil, stirring; boil gently for 1 minute. Spread over warm baked
    cake; broil until bubbly and lightly browned, watching carefully.

    Try asking at the service desk. And ask your friends to ask. If they sense
    a demand they may begin stocking it. But, then, this is Walmart we're
    talking about. There's a reason I don't do business with them.

    Title: Carrigan's Grill Shrimp Burgers
    Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies, Breads
    Yield: 8 Patties

    1 tb Butter
    3/4 c Fine chopped yellow onion
    1/4 c Fine chopped celery
    1/4 c Fine chopped bell pepper
    1 1/2 ts Salt
    3/4 ts Cayenne pepper
    2 lb Shrimp; peeled, deveined,
    - chopped or ground *
    2 ts Chopped garlic
    1/4 c Sliced scallion greens
    2 lg Eggs; beaten
    +=PLUS=+
    1 lg Egg; beaten, divided use
    2 c Fine dried bread crumbs;
    - divided use
    1/2 c A-P flour
    2 ts Dirty Dave's Seasoning
    - (recipe follows)
    2 tb Water
    1/4 c Oil

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add
    the onions, celery, bell pepper, salt, and cayenne. Cook,
    stirring, until soft for about 6 minutes.

    Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.

    Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool
    slightly. Add the garlic, green onions, 2 of the eggs,
    and 1 cup of the bread crumbs. Stir to mix well. Divide
    into 8 equal portions and form into patties. Set aside.

    Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season with 1
    teaspoon of the Dirty Dave's seasoning. Put the remaining
    1 cup bread crumbs in another shallow bowl and season
    with the remaining 1 teaspoon Dirty Dave's seasoning. Put
    the beaten egg in yet another shallow bowl, add the water
    and beat lightly.

    Heat the oil in 2 large skillets over medium heat. Dredge
    each patty first in the flour, then in the egg mixture,
    then in the bread crumbs, turning to coat completely and
    shaking off any excess. Cook 4 patties at a time in each
    skillet, until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes on each
    side. Drain on paper towels.

    * Depending on time, energy and inclination I sometimes
    chopped the shrimp, sometimes ran through the meat
    grinder using the medium plate.

    Serve on toasted buns with the usual condiments.

    Makes 8 patties/sandwiches

    Can you do protein shakes and such like? Sometimes something like that
    is an easier way to get protein than trying to eat more. But, then you
    probably have to watch the carb/calorie/etc count.

    I think the after effects of Hurricane/tropical storm/depression Debby
    knocked out my Fido for a few days. We had about 4" of rain here but a
    lot more in other parts of the state, with flooding and several
    tornadoes, including a couple in one of the counties next to us. Steve
    was working at the Emergency Operations Center in that county, same town
    as where one touched down, but was unaffected. Glad that system is gone,
    but keeping an eye on thr tropics for the next couple of months until
    hurricane season is officially over.

    I tried those and my gut didn't like them. I suspect I now have Crohn's disease from all the weird antibiotics that got pumped into me afdter my
    heart attacks for eight months. I'm going to a VA gasteroenterologist in a coulple of weeks. A local VSO told me that is they put in my record that

    Yeah, she was a sneaky one. We didn't feel any effects here--some rain

    I did get an additive that I used to use, it's a flavourless powder.
    I sprinkle / mix it into what I'm having and it boosts the protein.

    I needed to make a decision quick as I've been having issues
    moving. After only a day my pain is down a bit in the legs, so
    see if you can get the VA to write a script for it? That's what I

    Hash has been going up faster than other foods for tha past few years.
    Dunno the cause. But it used to be about the same price as a can of
    Campbell's Cream of (whatever) soup. Currently it's give-or-take about
    double. And while the soup goes on sale from time to time the hash
    never does.

    Sounds like no fun all around. Antibiotics can really tear up your

    my primary doctor) in my lungs. I always have yogurt with active
    cultures as part of breakfast but still had a bit of trouble with side
    effects from the antibiotics. It didn't last long but no fun for the
    time they kicked in.

    I think the after effects of Hurricane/tropical storm/depression
    Debby RH> knocked out my Fido for a few days.

    Yeah, she was a sneaky one. We didn't feel any effects here--some
    rain would be appreciated--but I think Newfoundland, PEI, and Nova
    Scotia are in her path now.

    This is the time of year I really pay attention to the weather reports.
    At one point, Debby was supposed to go right thru the Raleigh area. She
    turned slightly to the west, just enough so that we were on the right
    side of it, got wind, rain, tornadoes out of it.


    Here's a recipe from our late friend, Michael.


    Title: "Southern Chili Georgia Style"
    Categories: Loo, Chili, Beef, Chilies, Southern
    Yield: 1 Servings

    Brown meat and add to chili pot along with broths, tomato sauce, and
    green chiles. Add 2/3 of the spices. Cook for 2 hr. Add remaining
    spices. Cook 1 hr or until meat is tender. Add salt to taste.

    30th Annual World's Championship Recipe -adapted Georgia Weller,
    Bloomfield, Hills MI http://www.chilicookoff.com/1996.htm From:
    mloo@juno.com (Michael Loo)

    Quite an interesting assortment of spices. I'll usually use a variety of peppers (whatever I have on hand/can find in the produce section) in my
    chili. For the "competition style" I'll also use tomatoes and onions;
    the family style is usually much milder with ground beef, tomatoes,
    onios, corn and (usually) bell peppers.

    Title: Corned Beef Hash Brown Casserole
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Potatoes, Cheese, Dairy
    Yield: 9 Servings

    3 tb Oil; more for greasing
    6 c Tater Tots; from a 32-ounce
    - bag (about 28 ounces)
    1 sm Yellow onion; fine chopped
    1 Red bell pepper; fine chop'd
    1 Bell pepper; fine chopped
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    1/2 lb Sliced deli corned beef; in
    - 1/2" pieces
    8 lg Eggs
    1 1/2 c Milk
    3/4 ts Dry mustard
    4 ds Hot sauce; to taste
    1 1/2 c Shredded Cheddar

    Recipe courtesy Food Network Kitchen

    Set the oven @ 450°F/232°C.

    Grease a 9" X 13" baking dish with oil. Fill the bottom
    of the dish with one layer of the potatoes (about 4
    cups). Drizzle the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the
    oil. Bake until hot and crisp, about 20 minutes. Let
    cool for 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a
    large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and
    red and green peppers. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and
    a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring
    occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and
    started to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the corned beef,
    and cook for 2 minutes more. Let cool.

    Whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard, hot sauce, 1/2
    teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper in a
    large bowl.

    Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the Cheddar over the potatoes in the
    casserole dish. Layer the vegetable-beef mixture over
    the Cheddar. Pour the egg mixture into the dish and top
    with the remaining cup of Cheddar. (The casserole can be
    assembled up to this point and refrigerated overnight.
    Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.)

    Set the oven @ 350°F/175°C.

    Top the casserole with the remaining potatoes (about 2
    cups). Bake until the egg mixture is set and the top is
    lightly golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool for 15
    minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

    Yield: 8 to 10 servings

    Title: Granny Twichell's Secret Chocolate Cupcake Recipe
    Categories: Baker
    Yield: 4 Servings

    10 oz Semisweet chocolate, broken
    Into 1/2-ounce pieces
    1 c Heavy cream
    2 oz Unsweetened chocolate,
    Broken into 1/2-ounce
    Pieces
    5 lg Eggs
    1/2 c Granulated sugar
    1 ts Pure vanilla extract
    3/4 c Cake flour
    1/2 ts Baking soda
    2 c Semisweet chocolate chips

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Heat 1-inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium
    heat. Place 10 ounces semisweet chocolate, 1 cup heavy cream and 2
    ounces unsweetened chocolate in the top half of the double boiler.
    Tightly cover with plastic wrap. Allow to heat for 8 minutes. Remove
    from the heat and stir until smooth. Set aside until needed.

    Place the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract in the bowl of an electric
    mixer fitted with a paddle. Beat on medium until lemon-colored and
    slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Add the melted chocolate mixture
    and beat on medium for 15 to 20 seconds more. Add the cake flour,
    baking soda and chocolate chips, and beat on low for 10 seconds.
    Increase to medium and beat for an additional 10 seconds. Remove the
    bowl from the mixer. Use a rubber spatula and thoroughly combine the
    batter.

    Evenly divide the mixture into 18 bake cups that have already been
    positioned into muffin tins, filling the cups to within 1/4 below the
    rim. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the
    center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven
    and allow to cool to room temperature.

    1/2 c Chopped green bell pepper
    2 tb Chopped onion
    6 lg Eggs *
    1 c Grated sharp Cheddar cheese

    Makes 6 servings.

    * Minnie Pearl didn't specify whether the eggs should be
    broken and scrambled. For your best shot at evenly cooked
    eggs, Mr Breakfast recommends beating the eggs with 3 or 4
    tablespoons of milk before adding them to the potatoes and
    creating a delicious scramble.

    I ran a BBS under Citadel - which was basd loosely on the D&D structure with the subjects called "rooms" rather than "echoes". Networking was
    done by direct calling - so it was as loose and sloppy as life itself.
    Not structured as Fido seems to be. Bv)=

    Here's a link to the Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citadel_(software)

    I ran Citadel for a brief period of time. If i recall correctly, i ran it
    on OpenBSD with nginx as the web server. It was not networked, so to say. Citadel was nice because it was written in C and used little hardware resources, compared to a PHP-based bulletin board. I seem to recall it
    got a little technical at times.

    Is this the D&D that you are referencing?

    Hard to say as I never was into D & D. Just that I knew the rationale for calling the topics "rooms" was based on players leaving messages and clews
    for other participants in the various rooms. After I ditched the Citadel
    I ran an RBBS for my confuser store as a single line dial-up w/2400 BAUSD

    Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray

    Set oven @ 425┬║F/220┬║C.

    Using a small sharp knife cut into the thick end of the
    chicken and make an incision reaching 2/3 the way down the
    breast. Loosen up the incision with your fingers to make a
    hole. Season the chicken with pepper. Combine the cheese
    with arugula and baby spinach and stuff the breasts.
    Spiral-wrap the breasts with the bacon tightly to cover the
    meat evenly. Place chicken on a nonstick baking sheet and
    roast 20 to 22 minutes until bacon is crispy and chicken is
    firm.

    Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a
    boil, season water with salt and cook potatoes 15 minutes,
    or until tender.

    Bring 1" water to a boil. Trim beans. Salt water and add
    beans to water. Simmer 5 minutes, drain and combine with
    tomatoes, thyme, 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper.

    Place the potatoes back in the hot pot after draining. Coat
    the potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, the scallions, chicken
    stock and salt and pepper. Toss for 1 minute.

    Serve chicken with green beans and potatoes alongside.

    I'm using a cane now which gives me the suppor tI need so I don't fall,

    Sure wish I still drank, maybe a bottle or two would give me a break

    You're the only one reporting issues out of the current user base. I've had

    Meanwhile - I have discovered a website that I usefd to use just for
    their recipes has really good information articles for us poor home
    chefs who wonder why?????

    https://www.chowhound.com/1638515/restaurant-baked-potatoes-better-than-homemade/

    This article caught my attention especially when it morphed into a treatise
    on sweet potatoes. I learned a lot (and confirmed some lore I wondered
    about).

    I've bookmarked their website along w/Simply Recipes.

    "Sweet potatoes have enamored human taste buds for thousands of years.
    The first known sweet tater eaters can be traced back to Peru, where
    the root vegetables have been grown since about 750 B.C. Despite the
    centuries that humans have had to perfect the cooking of their sweet
    spuds, there are still plenty of things that mankind gets wrong when
    rocking up to the stove to cook them. Sometimes, these errors merely
    result in sweet potatoes that taste good but not as great as they
    possibly can be. However .... "

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and remaining 3/4 cup sugar.
    Using pastry blender, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse
    crumbs. Remove 1/2 cup and set aside for topping.

    To remaining mixture, stir in salt, baking powder and baking soda.
    Mix egg and buttermilk together. Add dry ingredients to
    egg-buttermilk mixture, stirring only until combined.

    Spray a 9 inch round cake pan with vegetable spray. Spread 2/3 of the
    batter over bottom of pan. Spread 2/3 of the apple mixture over
    batter. Dot with remaining batter and apple mixture, spreading
    evenly. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350F for 45
    minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
