Hi Manny               8/23/06 9:49 PM

MR> I finally figured out my problem with Doc's and now I am back.
DS>   Good -- we've missed you.  What was the problem? 

mr-> I tried everything I could think of, but nothing
mr-> worked until while noodling around, I tried a variation of
mr-> my user name and (blush) I was in again. If you think that
mr-> this example of operator error will help one other human being, 
mr-> than it was worth all of my embarrassment in publicly confessing 
mr-> what an idiot I can be at times. 

Heck Manny, I figure if one wants to be a self-running computer user, one
has to learn to live with inadequacy.  People who can't stand making
mistakes, or failing over and over until getting something right.... are
not going to be computer users. They just fold up or use someone else for a
constant crutch.  

I keep trying to get Shirley to act on her own so she can function on the
computer without me.  But she can't get over that she just has to keep
failing until she figures something out.  She's terribly afraid of
"breaking" something.   

You should be proud, not ashamed, ..... it's a good recipe for users.  Keep
failing until you got it right.

      Title: Braggin' Rights Chicken Fried Steak
 Categories: Beef, Mexican
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
MMMMM---------------------------STEAK--------------------------------
      2 lb Roundsteak, sliced 1/2 inch
           -thick and twice-tenderized
           -by the butcher
      2 c  All-purpose flour
      2 ts Baking powder
      1 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Fresh ground black pepper
    3/4 ts Salt
  1 1/2 c  Buttermilk
      1 lg Egg
      1 tb Hot red pepper sauce
      2    Garlic cloves, minced
           Crisco for deep frying

MMMMM--------------------CLASSIC CREAM GRAVY-------------------------
    1/4 c  Pan drippings
      3 tb All-purpose flour
      2 c  Evaporated milk
      1 c  Unsalted beef stock
    1/2 ts Fresh ground black pepper
           Salt to taste

MMMMM--------------------------OPTIONAL-------------------------------
           Mashed potatoes
           Homemade buttermilk biscuits
 
    Cut steak into 4 equal portions. Pound until each is about 1/4 inch
  thick. Place flour in a shallow bowl. In a second dish, stir together
  baking powder, soda, pepper and salt; mix in buttermilk, egg, pepper
  sauce and garlic. The mixture will be thin.
    Dredge each steak first in flour, then in batter. Dunk steaks back
  into flour and dredge well, patting in the flour until the surface of
  the meat is dry.
    Add enough shortening to a deep cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven to
  deep fry steaks in at least 4 inches of fat. Bring temperature of
  shortening to 325 degrees. Fry the steaks, pushing them under the fat
  or turning them as they bob to the surface, for 7 to 8 minutes, or
  until they are golden brown. Drain steaks on paper towels and
  transfer to a platter. Keep warm while preparing Classic Cream Gravy.
    Divide steaks among 4 plates and serve with mashed potatoes and
  gravy.
  
  CLASSIC CREAM GRAVY:
  
    After cooking chicken-fried steak or similar dish, pour off the top
  fat through a strainer, leaving about 1/2 cup pan drippings in the
  bottom of the skillet. Return any browned cracklings from the
  strainer to the skillet before starting the gravy.
    Place skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring to
  avoid lumps. Add milk and stock. Simmer until liquid is thickened and
  the raw flour taste is gone, about 3 minutes. Stir the gravy up from
  the bottom frequently, scraping up any browned bits. Season with
  pepper and salt. Makes about 3 cups.
