Then you might as well get used to running down the frontage roads of the
information super-highway. And just like the frontage roads of the gasoline
bullfighter's Interstate system - they do not always connect properly to the
rest of the world or take you where you'd like to go.

Why? You can't see well enough to drive it safely anyway. The Virtual PC is
merely a possible method to get your old klunky software from the wood-fired,
steam-powered belt drive days of computing to work on modern equipment.

      Title: Steamed Pungent Cod w/Cabbage
 Categories: Oriental, Seafood, Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings

    3/4 lb Thick filet of cod
      4 lg Leaves of Napa cabbage
    1/2 tb Fresh ginger root; minced
      1 ts Sesame oil
  1 1/2 c  Water
      1 tb Crushed rock sugar
    1/2 c  Sweet mixed pickles; diced
    1/4 c  Pickle juice
    1/2 tb Thin soy sauce
      1 tb White vinegar
           Cornstarch paste
      2    Green onions; in thin strips

  SAUCE: In saucepan, heat water & crushed rock sugar until
  sugar melts. Add pickle juice, soy sauce, vinegar & diced
  pickles. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Restir
  cornstarch paste, and dribble it into boiling sauce,
  until sauce has consistency of thin pancake batter.
  Remove from heat. Reserve in saucepan.

  PREPARATION: Slice cod filet across the grain about 1/2"
  thick, keeping slices in position. Cut leafy fringes off
  of cabbage (save for your stock pot). Cut cabbage stalks
  lengthwise into pieces to match fish slices. Insert
  cabbage slices between each slice of fish. Hold together
  and slice fish & cabbage in half. Using broad side of
  cleaver, lift fish & cabbage, as is, onto 10" oval serving
  dish. Sprinkle ginger and sesame oil on fish.

  STEAMING: About 15 minutes before serving time, bring
  water in steamer to boiling. Steam fish platter in steamer
  for 7-10 minutes, until fish turns milky white. Meanwhile,
  reheat sauce. Remove fish from steamer and pour off any
  water. Pour sauce unevenly over fish so it is only partly
  covered. Garnish with green onions. Serve.

  Makes 4 servings
