Ärende: kick it again 58
========================
Hi Michael,

 RH> Something so easy but often overlooked. Same with the occaisional shut
 RH> down and reboot; it will do wonders.
 ML> In her case, the reboot trick didn't work.
 RH> Then you have to kick it again. (G)

 ML> That's for desktops. Laptops have to be handled with kid gloves -

So what's to say you can't kick a lap top or net book?


 ML> though I don't see why we have to wear children's clothing when
 ML> using them (bad joke alert).

Actually, I think the gloves were originally made from a goat (or other
kid) youngster, a very fine, soft leather.


 ML> The other "preacher's delight" recipes I've seen have
 ML> been for dessert - this one was the most pleasant one
 ML> of the lot and the only one I ever saved.
 RH> I've not seen any by that title.
 ML> Found one for you, fairly appropriate, too.
 RH> OK, I'll take a look at it.

 ML> The name obviously comes from the days when after service
 ML> people would invite the minister home for Sunday dinner,
 ML> and these recipes were designed to keep him coming back,
 ML> to the envy of those congregants whose recipes were called
 ML> things like "preacher thinks it's merely okay" or "cheap,
 ML> easy, and serviceable."

I can't think of a time (when Steve was pulpit supply) when we were
invited to dinner with a church member that we had a bad meal. One time
while we were in AZ, the chairman of the deacons & his wife took us to a
hole in the wall place (in a hole in the wall town) that was known for
its chicken fried steak. It was as good as advertised. If I order it
now, I'll have to watch out for the total carbs in the meal as the steak
is breaded, comes with gravy and usually mashed potatoes smothered in
gravy. Carb overload for me that way; to make it better, I'd ask for the
gravy on the side and only eat part of the potatoes.

 ML> In the famous song it's pronounced Donka shane, for some reason.
 RH> I know, Wayne Newton got it close but not quite right. Danke is
 RH> pronounced more like danka.

 ML> Fun fact. There's this old movie called Bread and Chocolate, in
 ML> which this Italian guy can't find a job so goes to try his luck
 ML> in Switzerland, causing obvious embarrassments and culture
 ML> shocks, as the only word of German (or presumably French) he
 ML> know is "danke," which he pronounces "dank-eh" to the disgust
 ML> the story goes on, I forget to what end. The fun fact is that
 ML> the first time I went out of the big city into the Bavarian
 ML> countryside, I was amused and flabbergasted to find out that
 ML> the rural folks all said "dank-eh."

Never heard of the movie but it sounds like a fun one. Guess I could
look it up on the internet & see who was in it, if available on DVD,
etc.

 RH> I've been running low the past couple of years on potassium, guess I
 RH> should eat more nuts. Pecan pie with extra nuts? (G)

 ML> We're all extra nuts around here.

Got that right! Do you know what a Chinese sneeze nut is?  Ah-cashew!


 But, sure, find some
 ML> substitute for the corn syrup in the pie filling and add more

Molasses is one sub for corn syrup in the pie filling. I made one once
years ago & a couple of my friends thought I'd used molasses in it.
Nope, just dark corn syrup. I don't buy the corn syrup with HFCS added.


 ML> pecans, that would be great.


Bite into it and say "oh nuts!".
