Meal Monster will run in DOSbox. MMconv will not. I use MultiMail for an OLR -
so I can't speak to the BWave or Q-Edit question. I am maintaining an XP
platform to run those things that break on W10 and/or DOSbox.

I dunno about that. I always washed my car in the yard - so the water soaked
into the turf. But, I take your point.

      Title: Chilean Seabass * w/Fava Beans & Marjoram Oil
 Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
MMMMM------------------------MARJORAM OIL-----------------------------
    3/4 c  Extra virgin olive oil
    3/4 c  Fresh marjoram leaves;
           - rinsed, dried & stemmed
    1/2 c  Italian parsley; rinsed,
           - dried & stemmed
           Sea or kosher salt

MMMMM------------------------BEANS & FISH-----------------------------
      1 lb Fava beans; fresh or frozen
           - you can substitute frozen
           - shelled edamame
      4    (6 oz ea) Chilean seabass
           - filets; * skin and any
           - bones removed
           Sea or kosher salt & fresh
           - ground white pepper
      4 tb Extra virgin olive oil or
           - truffle oil
 
  * If you are unable to find (or are unwilling to use)
  MSC-certified Chilean seabass, you could substitute black
  cod or Pacific halibut.
  
  To prepare the marjoram oil, place the oil, marjoram, and
  parsley in the bowl of a food processor or blender.
  Process or purée until the mixture has emulsified. Strain
  the oil over a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl or
  jar. Add salt to taste. Set aside.
  
  If using frozen favas or edamame, cook according to the
  package directions. If you are using fresh fava beans,
  remove the beans from their pods and blanch them in
  boiling water for about a minute. Drain the beans and
  immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop
  the cooking. Drain. Remove the outer skins and discard.
  Set aside.
  
  Preheat the water bath to 135øF/57øC.
  
  Season the filets lightly with salt and pepper. Place each
  filet in a separate small cooking bag along with 1 tb of
  oil. Seal the bags using the water displacement method or
  simply squeeze as much air as possible out of the bags so
  they do not float in the bath.
  
  Cook for 30 minutes.
  
  A few minutes before the fish is done, plunge the cooked
  beans into a pan of simmering salted water for about a
  minute to reheat. Drain the beans thoroughly and combine
  with just enough of the marjoram oil to fully coat their
  surfaces.
  
  Divide among 4 serving plates.
  
  Remove the filets from the food bags, discarding any
  liquid, and place the fish atop the beans. Garnish with a
  bit of baby greens or fresh herbs if desired.
