Hi Dave,

 DD> I have no idea of the price - probably not a lot unless referring to
 DD> my friend Wally Hartshorn. He's expensive. As to what it is ...

 RH> It was probably around a long time before he was. (G)

 DD> No doubt since he is somewhat younger than I. OTOH, the ammonium
 DD> carbonate is not as able a System Administrator as Wally.   Bv)=


No, it just doesn't have the capability to do so.

 DD> Hartshorn or Baker's Ammonia (ammonium carbonate). An old-time
 DD> leavening favored by Scandinavians and professional bakers, hartshorn
 DD> gives a fluffiness of texture that baking powder can't give. Superior

 RH> I think I read about it some years ago, probably on here but thanks for
 RH> the reminder.  Wonder if my mom has the recipe but I'm not going to
 RH> ask, just look the next time we go up there.

 DD> Me too. That's why I knew just where to go for the information I
 DD> posted.

I probably saw it back in our old C-64 days or very early PC. IOW, the
information is probably long gone if I'd saved it then, especially if it
was on the Commodore.

 DD> I think you can still buy it down the drug store. You could in the
 DD> 1990s. At least in Springfield, IL.  Bv)=

 RH> But with so many chain drugstores arond now,........................I
 RH> don't know if they would sell it or I'd have to go to a mom & pop type
 RH> one to find it.

 DD> We have a couple drugstores that carry such ... and one which probably
 DD> does as the sign advertises "Compounding Pharmacist". I'll ask my

I know there's a compounding pharmacy in Savannah, don't know about the
greater Raleigh area.  The one in GA was on the main road in our area;
we've passed it quite often.

 DD> friend Howard (just to satisfy my curiosity) if Walgreen's carries
 DD> hartshorn. He is a district supervising pharmacist for Walgreen's, the
 DD> largest drugstore chain in the US.

I know there's Walgreens nearby but we usually go to CVS. There's one
not 5 minutes or so (walk) away. We got our flu shots there on Saturday.


 DD> If he is at breakfast I'll ask him this morning. If not, I'll catch up
 DD> with him next Sunday.

Or whenever he does show up.


 DD> Now, breaking my usual practice of doing a Burton and posting a recipe
 DD> directly related to the post I am making ... I am posting a recipe for
 DD> one of my favourite dishes in the world ... Moussaka. Which is the
 DD> only way I actually *like* eggplant.

I like it several ways. Got a small striped one Saturday at the farmer's
market, probably the last eggplant of the season for us. I also got some
red and green cayennes that are sitting in vinegar right now. I'll test
the pepper vinegar in a few weeks.

 DD> This is a looooong recipe - so I have split it into 2 sections to meet
 DD> Meal Monster's 100 line restriction. But, it really makes an excellent
 DD> moussaka, as noted by the Dirty Dave's Kitchen tagged on the bottom.

I'll have to try it when I'm not so busy.
