=====================
 RH> I've got a fridge freezer I don't know how old it is (furnished as
 RH> part of the rental) and a 7.5 cubic foot chest freezer we got at the
 RH> Fort Stewart PX in 2007. Neither are top name brand but have kept
 RH> working for us so far.

Working is good. And the big name brands, they're not necessarily
such a great deal any more - everything being made overseas and
to someone else's quality standards anyhow.

 One of these days, time and money permitting,
 RH> I'll put top of the line name brand appliances in the kitchen of the
 RH> house we own.

One needs something to aspire to.

 RH> Usually they clear up lingering breathing problems from bronchitis for
 RH> me but this was just a bit much. So, now I'm counting carbs, watching
 RH> sweets, etc.

Steroids are the proverbial two-edged sword.
 
 ML> Indeed. I have a number of households that I can be at home
 ML> in, some of them echo people, you know who you are!
 RH> We don't have the room here but you're welcome to pop in virtually.

Thanks. I certainly don't beg for, require, or abuse
hospitality.

 ML> Can you use a laptop for note-taking?
 RH> It's a moot point now for me. I'm not a touch typist so hand writing
 RH> is about as good as using a net book. Besides, I can't doodle in the
 RH> margins with a net book like I can on paper. (G)

Touch typing (a skill that I have faded into and out of
over the years) is a useful skill. And with a tablet, which
once was touted as the best of all possible worlds, you can
doodle as well as write as well as type.
 
 ML> Mascarpone, Parm, and butter? I'd add a dash of white pepper
 ML> and maybe garlic or onion, but then I'm not heavily into
 ML> dairy products.
 RH> Butter, cream and parm. Pepper would be good, garlic and onion also,
 RH> depending on the other flavors in the dish. IIRC, it had garlic in
 RH> already. I'd use a bit in the sauce then, but not onion in this case.
 
Alfredo is one of the simplest sauces in its classic form,
but I've always preferred it doctored up a little.

APPROXIMATE ALFREDO SAUCE
cat: Italian, approximate, dairy
servings: 4

1 pt whipping cream
1 c parmesan cheese
4 oz butter
8 oz noodles or other pasta
- cooked according to pkg directions
- [omitted in original]
nutmeg

Melt the butter and slowly add cheese cream and cooked pasta.
You need to add the cheese slowly so it doesnt form clumps.

I have modified this recipe by taking out all the butter and
using whipping cream and milk instead of all whipping cream.
It doesnt taste as good but its not nearly as bad [as what?].
Sprinkle with nutmeg to serve.
