I hadn't realised you were being humourous. I thought you were twitting me for
my made-up word.  Bv)=

Well, "they" say that the camera adds pounds .... Having had the horse shoes at
both places I can give direct evidence. Ritz' shoes are both larger and have
better cheese sauce. When Lanny Higgins founded Charlie Parkers' it was nip and
tuck on both the size and the sauce. But, Lanny ain't there no mo' and Brenda
buys her cheese sauce in a big "Golden Age" can.

Thanks for the review heads-up.

Our Price 60c - CHEAP!

Actually David Berg is a Chicago company founded in 1860. If you've had a dog
at Wrigley, or O'Hare it could well have been a David Berg. Especially if they
whacked you a goodly amount. DB dogs are ALL beef.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Tourta Athineiki (Orange-walnut Cake, Athens Style)
 Categories: Greek, Desserts, Cakes
      Yield: 10 servings
 
    1/2 lb Sweet butter
      2 c  Granulated sugar
      4    Eggs
      1    Orange,(juice & grated rind)
      3 c  All-purpose flour
      1 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 c  Coarsely chopped walnuts
           Confectioners' sugar (opt.)
 
  Cream the butter until light and fluffy, then gradually add the sugar.
  Continuing to beat, add the eggs one at a time, beating well, on
  medium speed, after each addition.  Gradually add the orange juice
  and rind.
  
  Meanwhile, sift the flour with the baking powder and salt and
  gradually add to the batter.  Add the walnuts last, blend another
  minute on medium high speed, and pour into a greased and lightly
  floured 8-inch tube pan. Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 25 to 30
  minutes until the color is a light chestnut and the cake springs back
  to the touch.  (Watch carefully because this cake bakes quickly.)
  Turn onto a wire rack, round side up. Dust with confectioners' sugar
  and cool thoroughly before slicing.
