I still have Meal-Master installed, I just don't update it as often as I should, though it wouldn't take long to bring it up to date.

I have to begin moving some recipes out of my "Echomail" data file for
recipes I have posted in the cooking echoes. I'm bumping close to the 25K limit. I'll make sure I have all the stuff from (now defunct) Gourmet and
Bon Apetit in their boxes. Ia well as Better Homes & Gardens. I just search
on their "FROM" line and mark them. Then take the resulting files and
import them telling Meal Muncher to skip any dupes. Then go back and turn
all the "M"s into "#"s (destined for the bin) and do a <CTRK>R from the maintenance menu. With the miserable weather we've been having and the
dirty looks all the Anti-Trump signage on the back of my car drawing heat
from the red necks in their jacked-up penis enhancements I've not been

Title: Australian Pavlova By Vicky
Categories: Desserts, Fruits, Dairy, Citrus
Yield: 9 servings

4 Xl egg whites; room temp
1 c Castor (superfine) sugar
2 ts Corn starch
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 ts Lemon juice
1 pt Heavy whipping cream
1 tb Sugar
Strawberries, blueberries,
- kiwi fruit or your choice
- of fresh fruit
pn Salt

Set oven @ 275ºF/135ºC.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper and draw an 8"
circle as a guide for the pavlova. Turn paper over so
pencil is facing down. Sprinkle a small amount of extra
corn starch lightly on the circle so pavlova does not
stick.

When separating eggs, be careful there is NO yolk in the
whites as this will keep whites from beating properly.
In a large very clean bowl, beat whites and pinch of
salt til glossy and softly peak. Do not overbeat. Add
the superfine sugar 1 Tbsp at a time until mixture makes
firm, glossy peaks, but is not dry. Sift corn starch
softly over whites and fold in with lemon juice and
vanilla.

Spoon mixture over the circle, mounding in center and
then spread outward to make a circle with a slight
depression in the center. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off oven
and cool in oven for 2 hours. Store in airtight
container. Best if served the same day. If it cracks or
sinks, fill with cream when finishing just before
serving.

Remove parchment paper and place pavlova on cake stand
or plate for serving. Just before serving, beat the
cream with the powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla. Fill
depression across the top of pavlova with the whipped
cream and sprinkle cream with your choice of fruit.
Sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, raspberries,
fresh pineapple, passionfruit or what you like. Do not
add cream and fruit ahead of time as will make the
meringue soggy.

Serves: 8 - 10

That's why I sold my last scoot to one of my brother's grandchirrun. I
was out to meet my breakfast bunch and had 5 really close calls on the
round trip. And I always distrust car drivers when I [utting along. My
mind always asks "What the dumbest move this doofusa can make?" And 10
times out of 9 I'll be right.

But, that was a rare day and these yahoos did stuff I hadn;t sonsidered.
Which set the l;ittle voice in my head to repeating "You don't heal up
like you did when yo were a kid." So, Elwood now has my last motorcycle.
