    I'll see if I can get it for my Nook; we're running short of book shelf space.

    It has ben "Epubbed" https://archive.org/details/typhoon_202103

    Thanks, I need to get some new reading material on the Nook and Ken Follette's new book isn't out yet.

    Do you subscribe to Book Bub's e-mail? They offer free and
    reducd-price e-books in whatever genres you care to follow. They show
    me e-pubbed cook books ... which I have grabbed one or two of to
    access with my Calibre
    desktop e-reader so I can cut & paste like I do from web sites.

    I do get the listing but have never gotten anything thru them (yet).
    I'd probably not get cook books as I prefer hard copy for them. Just unsubscribed from a web site of fig recipies when they tried (didn't succeed because we don't do Windows) sending some malware instead of a recipe.

    Did they do it? Or were they hacked? I don't suppose it makes much
    difference as long at you dodged the bullet.

    About the time I got my Nook, both you and a local friend reccommended this site. I've browsed, but just not pulled the trigger yet, on any books.

    Iget their daily emails of listings in the categories I have selected - the link sends me to Amazon if I pull the trigger. I seldom go for a cookbook
    since I subscribe to NYT Cooking, Taste of Home, Simply Recipes, Saveur,
    and Stephanie Manley's CopyKat.com list.

    If you take one of their selections you'll be whisked to B&N's website I suppose.

    My Asus all use Linux for the OS. If I'm doing Zoom I'd rather use my Lenovo Think/Idea Pad w/the built-in camera and microphone.

    I've used my tablet for Zoom. At the time, schools were scrounging anything they could get so kids wouldn't have to rely on phones for connecting with their classes.

    It's also handy if I am hospitalised. Since I network my Meal Monster
    with the desktop tower my recipe bases are pretty much up to date.

    I'm not saving nearly as much as I was when I first got on the echo.
    Noe I look for something specific.

    My "Echomail" database in MealMaster is over 23K recipes - all I have
    either downloaded or uploaded from/to the echo over the years. My Taste
    of Home base is approaching 6K and the NYT base is over 4K.

    I'm not sure but I've got enough fig recipies to try for the rest of
    this fig crop. Tomorrow I'll probably make tha fig/honey upside down
    cake I got after Steve got things to working right. I'll use up most of
    the rest of them in fig syrup.

    Probably so. Today, while waiting for a doctor's appointment, I started
    a book I'd downloaded before our big spring trip but never got around to reading. It's another Philippa Gregory one, this time about Margaret
    Pole, cousin to Henry VII.

    wondered why I didn't try them earlier as they're now keepers.

    Title: Copycat Chick Fil A Sauce
    Categories: Sauces, Condiments
    Yield: 6 servings

    Actually, I like my CFA fairly plain. If I'm getting a sandwich, I'll
    just get a packet of mayo for it; if I'm getting strips, I'll ask for a
    side of pickles and also get some mayo. Basic but good; I'm not big into ketchup or bbq sauce.

    I familiar with her name - but never read anyof her swcrivening. I'm not much on 15th century settings. Or the machinations of the British Royals.

    Since I post a recipe with every message and the daily "bulk" recipes
    like the five related to each date's "food" or event and 10 from a list
    of topical recipes ..... like the 40 waiting to be posted as "Best of
    2025". Even though I already have many of those in my archives I still
    bang in a fair amount of new stuff.

    Chick Filly has never been one of my go-to places. It's OK but Lee's
    Famous and Popeyes are better - ofthe fats food chicken joints. Then
    there are Track Shack and Ritz' lil Fryer local to me.

    Certainly CF is popular. The local store is on a "out lot" for the
    local maul. The out lots also have a Texas Roadhouse and Mission BBQ.
    But CF isthe one with 2drive-up lanes *alway* so full of hungey diners
    that the lines back up well into the street. And my mental voice says
    "No way we'll wait that long" Bv)= Fast food my patootie.

    Popeyes is currently offering a 3-piece forU$5. Leg, thigh and wing is
    my usual selection. And with a side of coleslaw or mash & gravy it's a
    nice evening meal.

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

    Title: Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken Recipe
    Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Chilies
    Yield: 8 Pieces

    6 c Oil
    2/3 c A-P flour
    1 tb Salt
    2 tb White pepper
    1 ts Cayenne pepper
    2 ts Paprika
    3 lg Eggs
    3 1/2 lb Frying chicken w/skin;
    - cut-up (2 breasts, 2 legs,
    - 2 thighs, 2 wings)

    Heat oil over medium heat in a deep fryer or in a deep
    cast-iron skillet on the stove. Combine the flour, salt,
    peppers, and paprika in a bowl. In another bowl, break
    eggs and beat until well-blended. Check temperature of
    oil by dropping a pinch of flour mixture in pan. If the
    oil bubbles rapidly around the flour, it will be the
    right temperature. Dip each piece of chicken into eggs;
    then coat generously with the flour mixture. Drop each
    piece into the hot oil and fry for 15 to 25 minutes or
    until the chicken is a dark golden brown. Drain chicken
    on paper towels and serve warm.

    Makes 8 pieces.

    UDD NOTES: This recipe is *much* closer to the real
    deal than the late Gloria Pitzer's "recipe detective"
    version. When I make it I make the cayenne and paprika
    equal (1 1/2 ts ea). I also eschew the white meat
    parts in favour of legs and thighs.

    Serves 2 normal people
