Hi Sean,

I'm sure Dave would have liked to see his recipes reposted. I wish we'd been able to have access to his huge recipe collection on his computer(s).

Dave gave me a copy of his recipe collection in 2023.

It came in 4 files:

* The main collection
* Better Homes & Gardens
* Chilehead
* Gourmet Magazines

I am currently cleaning up the last one and importing it into my database
in batches. <gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencollver/recipes/>

If you give me an email address, i'd email you the Meal-Master databases.

Hello Ben,

03 Apr 26 07:38, you wrote to me:

If you give me an email address, i'd email you the Meal-Master
databases.

Yes, please! My email is sysop@outpostbbs.net.

Dave and I were good friends. He'd called my BBS, in all of its iterations, since 1998. He and I were polar opposites politically yet we didn't let that bother us (LOL). He was also a mean Scrabble player and we played Scrabble daily on my BBS for decades. He also would contact me if there were problems with the BBS.

I'd always wanted to go up and meet him in person but sadly, I never had the chance. I hope I will get to meet him eventually though. :)

I appreciate you sending me the databases. If they're too big to be emailed, I can arrange it for you to upload them to my FTP server also.

Thanks again.

Title: Sean's Salmon Patties
Categories: Main dish, Fish, Seandennis
Yield: 4 Servings

1 Can (14 3/4 oz) salmon
4 oz Saltines, finely crushed
2 T Onion flakes
2 Eggs
1 T Lemon juice
1 t Black pepper
Oil or butter for frying

Empty can of salmon into large bowl. Remove extra skin and bones if
desired. Mix all ingredients in bowl. In your favorite skillet, pour
enough oil to just cover the bottom and heat until oil shimmers. Form
patties into 4 inch by 1/2 inch patties and fry lightly until golden
brown.

Some taste suggestions: instead of using the lemon juice and pepper,
try using a "lemon and herb" seasoning mix. You could also add a
teaspoon of dill if you like that. Mrs. Dash is a favorite of mine
as well.

Title: Simnel Cake
Categories: Cakes, Easter, Holidays
Yield: 10 Servings

100 g Persian golden raisins
80 g South African blush raisins
80 g Sultanas
1 Whole orange peel cap;
- finely diced;
- and extra for decoration
60 ml Brandy or fresh orange juice
180 g Plain flour
30 g Almond flour
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Baking powder
3/4 ts Baking soda
1 pn Salt
2 tb Flax seed meal
90 ml Plant milk
4 tb Applesauce
180 g Dairy-free butter;
- at room temperature
120 g Light brown sugar
1 tb Orange marmalade;
- for brushing, up to 2
Marzipan; for decorating

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes

Try this simnel cake for a vegan Easter dessert packed with dried
fruit, warm spice, and marzipan decoration. It keeps the classic
festive look while offering a plant-based twist on the traditional
loaf.

In a bowl, mix the raisins, sultanas, and diced orange peel with
brandy or orange juice. Cover and let them soak in the fridge for at
least 2 hours or overnight if you're planning ahead--go you!

Sift the plain flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt into a medium bowl.

In a small bowl, mix the flaxseeds with plant milk and let it sit for
10 minutes. It'll thicken up into a lovely egg replacement.

Get that oven going at 160?C. Using an electric hand mixer, cream
together the vegan butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Stir in the
flax mix and applesauce until smooth. Gradually add in the dry
ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Gently fold in the soaked fruits, then transfer the batter into a
lined and lightly greased loaf tin. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or
until a skewer poked in the center comes out clean.

Let the loaf cool completely before moving it to a serving board.
Brush with orange marmalade, top with marzipan, and sprinkle with
extra orange peel for a bit of flair.

Serve & enjoy! Slice it up and enjoy on its own or with a dollop of
vegan whipped cream. Happy Easter baking!

That's how it used to be. It saddens me that today it seems that with a majority of Americns, they are so polarized politically that it's automatic hatred for anyone who thinks a different way than they do and that's all I'll say in here. :)

Title: Russian Easter Bread
Categories: Breads, Dairy, Herbs
Yield: 2 servings

1 c Whole milk
1/2 c Sugar plus a pinch
3/4 c Unsalted butter
pn Saffron threads; crumbled
2 ts Salt
2 1/2 ts Active dry yeast
1/4 c Lukewarm water
- (105-115├╕F/40-46├╕C)
6 c All-purpose flour; +
- additional for dusting
4 lg Eggs

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: 2 (5- to 6-cup) soufflé dishes or 2
(2-pound) cleaned empty coffee cans

MAKE DOUGH: Heat milk, sugar, butter, saffron, and salt in
a 1 quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring
occasionally, until butter is melted and sugar is
dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to
lukewarm.

Meanwhile, stir together yeast, warm water, and pinch of
sugar and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If
mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new
yeast.)

Put flour in a large bowl and make a large well in center.
Lightly beat 3 eggs and add to well along with milk and
yeast mixtures. Carefully stir together with a wooden
spoon, gradually incorporating flour, until a soft dough
forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and
knead, dusting with just enough flour to keep dough from
sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Put
dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, turning to coat with
oil, and let rise, covered with a clean kitchen towel, in
a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled
in bulk, about 3 hours.

Punch down dough and let rise again, covered with towel,
until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

FORM LOAVES: Generously butter soufflé dishes. Punch down
dough and divide in half. Loosely wrap 1 piece in plastic
wrap and set aside. Cut away one third of remaining piece
of dough and reserve, then roll remaining two thirds into
a large ball and transfer to a soufflé dish.

Roll reserved piece of dough into an 18" long rope on
work surface with palms of your hands. Cut rope into 3
equal pieces and lay pieces vertically side by side on
work surface, about 1/4" apart. Gather 3 ends farthest
from you and press them together, then braid strands,
pressing together other ends to secure braid. Lay braid
over top of dough in soufflé dish (trim braid if using
coffee cans). Form another loaf with remaining dough in
same manner.

Cover loaves with clean kitchen towel and let rise in
draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in
bulk, about 1 1/2 hours (loaves will rise about 1 inch
above rims of dishes).

BAKE LOAVES: Put oven rack in middle position and preheat
oven to 350├╕F/175├╕C.

Lightly beat remaining egg with a large pinch of salt,
then brush egg over top of each loaf. Bake loaves until
golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped on
bottom, about 1 hour. Turn loaves out onto a rack, then
turn right side up and cool completely.

Initially, when it was more about linking universities and the like, I think it probably made many smarter -- or at least helped them learn something new. Even the initial www, before social media, might have done.

Once social media was born... just the opposite might be an understatement!
