 DD> You might look into one of the "Chrome Book" confusers which use

I'll keep that in mind.

 But, as I do not care for the Google Chrome browser - or,

 DD> Pale Moon browser will run nicely on W7 and W8/8.1 it's sort of a
 DD> no-brainer for me. 

I don't understand why they crapped up Firefox. It seemed
simple and sensible before, and now, with a new version every
few months, which install despite my explicitly telling the
Mozilla Foundation not to do so, what's the point?

Which implies a case of tail-wagging-dog. The customer may
not always be right, but aren't his/her needs always
paramount?

 I had to tink around with DOS Box to get Meal

I suppose I should do that as well. Here at Rosemary's I have
an XP and a Vista machine that are both defective in different
ways. Perhaps it would be a good idea, when I am here at least,
to emulate your procedures.

 ML>       Title: Peking Duck with Pineapple
 ML>       2 sl Canned pineapple
 DD> Does this make it Hawaiian? Or does that require fresh pineapple?

I was surprised when I went to that part of the world that
Cantonese food makes full use of mandarin orange segments
and pineapple chunks. Even, gasp, bread and butter pickles
in some dishes. Maybe not so much the Maraschino cherries,
though.

 DD> Title: Hawaiian Meatballs
 DD> 1 md Pineapple
 DD> 1 lb Lean ground beef
 DD> 1/2 lb Ground pork
 DD> 1/2 lb Ground veal
 DD> 1 lg Yellow onion; in quarters
 DD> 1 lg Green bell pepper; cored,
 DD> -seeded, in squares
 DD> 1 lg Red bell pepper; cored,
 DD> -seeded, in squares

These features make this dish almost like a "sweet-sour"
dish - which actually is a Chinese staple, only not in the
version served over here. The real thing is light on the
fruit and has a good balance of vinegar and sugar.

Sweet and sour rissoles
categories: Italian, snack
servings: 4

11 oz lean boiled meat
2 egg whites
1 roll
4 oz milk
salt
breadcrumbs
butter
2 egg yolks
2 Tb sugar
2 Tb balsamic vinegar

Mince meat and mix it with egg whites. Soak the roll in the milk and
squeeze out the milk. Add the roll to the meat mixture. Season to taste.

Form meat cakes out of this mixture, roll them in breadcrumbs, and cook
them in melted butter until brown on both sides.

Meanwhile, beat egg yolks with sugar. Gradually add the vinegar and beat
to a creamy consistency. Pour this over the meat cakes and immediately
remove from heat.
