=======================
 ML> I would have been happy with a Smith-Corona.
 RH> I put plenty of milage on it over the years. Lots of term papers, book

 RH> that one.

Indestructible, workhorse, that was their reputation.
Mine, it was almost indestructible, too, but also
almost unusable for its intransigeant stiffness.

 ML> Let me tell you, defenestration was too good a fate
 ML> for my typewriter.
 RH> I was tempted to do similar a few times but never did. (G)

But I found a way!

 ML> There's no need, is there. I thought a Selectric-type
 ML> hybrid with a computer keyboard might have been a cool
 ML> thing - making hard copy and electronic at the same time.
 RH> In the early 90s we had a couple of electric typewriters with some
 RH> computer features. Enough to frustrate me while doing certain jobs but
 RH> they did help me make the transition to a computer keyboard.

Actually, I do recall seeing some typewriters with a
computer connector in back. Never used one that I remember.

 ML> Did you know that if you count the underground parts
 ML> (mycelia and so on) some mushrooms count as the largest
 ML> organisms on this planet, based on their being one living
 ML> unit with identical genetics.
 RH> I think I'd read that somewhere.
 
And edible, too, Armillaria mellea. The Ukrainians, God
help them, call them pidpenky, but that has sort of become
a generic term for mushrooms in that language.

Ann's pidpenky
categories: side, Ukrainian
servings: 4

1/2 lb fresh mushrooms
1 lg onion, finely chopped
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 c beef consomme
2 pk dried beef broth, or more canned broth
1/4 c red wine (opt)
3 Tb flour
2 Tb melted butter
1 ts lemon juice

Clean mushrooms well, trim and chop.

Put mushrooms, onions, garlic, wine, and consomme in
large pot. Bring to a boil, simmer 1 hr. You may need
more liquid, if so, just add some more liquid broth,
or water and powdered broth.

Add lemon juice, stir.

Melt butter in microwave - stir flour in till smooth,
then stir slowly into mushrooms and bring to a boil,
stirring.

And that's it! If keeping warm, keep on low heat and
be sure to stir regularly so it doesn't stick to the
bottom of the pan. Add more liquid if necessary.

Notes: I used white button mushrooms in this recipe,
but it's also really good if you add a few of some
different types as well, like crimini and shiitake.
It really deepens the flavor. Give it a try!
