=====================
 RH> That figures.  Does United have a rotten rep for customer service, or
 RH> am I just imagining things?  

They all do, but United has a Website devoted to horror stories
(some of which are obviously made up, but others are quite
entertaining) about it: untied.com. By and large, my experience
is that there's a rough correlation to the alphabetical sequence,
though American and Delta should be spelled Umerican and Urelta.

 RH> Hmmm - maybe you should be mixing sound for dudes in Dubai....

Gig's taken. Anyhow, I now nowt about mixing sound.

 RH> Some people find modern classical music bizarre in and of itself, me
 RH> included.  Even some of the old stuff gets a bit weird.

It's all more interesting than most other kinds of music, which
have a severely limited set of chord changes, some prurient
lyrics, and that's it.

 -> Ever thought to convince your mom to put a few strips of bacon

 RH> It's been done, but I'd be more likely to make the meat loaf out of
 RH> ground pork and solve the problem that way.  Add precooked chopped
 RH> bacon to the meat and we'd be getting somewhere.

Add the bacon topper anyway.

Electric blanky.

Lobster Eggs Benedict
categories: shellfish, bacon, breakfast
Serves: 5

h - Hollandaise sauce
1 stick (4 oz) butter, sliced
4 egg yolks
1 lemon, juiced
Lobster roe (if available)
h - Sandwich
1 Tb butter
1 (1 1/2 lb) lobster, cooked and shelled
1/2 lb, Canadian bacon, 10 slices
5 English muffins, split
10 eggs
Minced fresh parsley
Paprika

Melt half of the butter in top of double boiler over hot,
but not boiling, water. Add egg yolks while stirring. Add
remaining butter and stir until melted, keeping heat low
under double boiler. Crumble lobster roe as finely as
possible and stir into sauce. Add lemon juice slowly.
Set aside and keep warm. Sauce will thicken as rest of
dish is prepared.

In a skillet melt 1 Tb butter. Dice the cooked lobster
meat and saute quickly in the melted butter to
heat through. Remove to a bowl and keep warm.

Brown the Canadian bacon in the same skillet and keep
warm. Toast the split English muffins.

Poach the eggs for about 3 min in an egg poacher, or in
skillet of water with 1 Tb vinegar added. Whites and edge
of yolks should be set, center of yolk still liquid.

For each serving, place 2 toasted muffin halves on a
plate and carefully layer on lobster meat, Canadian bacon
slices, and poached eggs. Cover with Hollandaise sauce.
Garnish with minced fresh parsley and paprika.
