Like the mostly moribund Amiga echoes - which have dwindled and gone dormant
through people falling off the twig  and because the Amiga is now an old and
classic computer - which can *still* so some things better than a PeeCee or
Macintrash.

Others have died because of a hard core of school-yard bully types (who I refer
to as the sewer sharks) and their "My way and no other way" attitudes.

 RH> Marc Lewis pops in from time to time but more often stays in the lurk

Mark comes in when when he feels he has something to contribute. Nothing wrong
with that. The main problem is that there is little "new blood" being added.
The last addition(s) in here have been Nancy and Janis - and valuable additions
they are. But, the pace of FIDO and BBSes in general is far too slow for the
youth of today's "Right D@MN3D Now!" generation.

I didn't begin my problems until a couple of years before I had the dratted
thing yanked. I suggested to my croaker at the time that my problems were gall
bladder related - but, he pooh-poohed that suggestion - preferring to
misdiagnose it as ulcers and prescribing Prilosec. Which, of course, did no
good except for making me more "regular" in my morning bathroom habits.

But, that croaker is long since gone from my life - as is the gall bladder and
my heart cath results were relieving if nothing else. I seem to be in pretty
good shape for a guy with high blood pressure, a pacemaker, a stent and
osteo-arthritis.

I don't do much baking - I have standard cake and loaf pans, an angel-food cake
pan and a bundt pan. But, I druther make pies. Never did much with fancy cakes
after I finished off my wedding cake - which, despite the oven being not on the
level turned out better than the marriage (which wasn't on the level either - I
was married, she wasn't).

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Hangtown Fry
 Categories: Seafood, Pork, Eggs, Breads, Dairy
      Yield: 6 servings

           Butter
      6 lg Eggs; well beaten
      3 tb Heavy cream; no substitute
     36    (to 48) oysters; shucked
           Flour
           Fresh rolled coarse cracker
           - crumbs *
           Salt & pepper
           Crisp bacon

  Melt plenty of butter in a heavy skillet. It should be
  lavishly done for this preparation. (If you wish to be
  safe you may add part oil to the butter so as to be
  certain there will be no burning of the butter.) 

  Beat the eggs lightly and combine with the cream. Dust the
  oysters lightly with flour, dip in the egg mixture and
  then roll in the cracker crumbs (*the crumbs of soda
  crackers or saltines are by far the best). Let the dipped
  and crumbed oysters stand for a few minutes before
  cooking. Fry the oysters in the butter.

  Cook quickly, just long enough to brown the oysters nicely
  on both sides. Salt and pepper to taste when they are
  golden brown, pour the well-beaten, eggs which have been
  mixed with water and seasonings over them and cook as you
  would an omelet. Pull the eggs from the sides of the pan
  with a spatula and when the omelet is cooked but not dry,
  roll it onto a hot platter and garnish with strips of
  crisp bacon.

  Serve on a very hot platter with lemon wedges and cole
  slaw. A perfect Sunday breakfast dish or dinner entree.

  This is a recipe which supposedly started in the west and
  for which there seem to be dozens of different versions.

  Makes 6 servings.

  From Oct 1974 issue of Woman's Day Magazine, submitted in
  an article by Chef James A Beard.
