    Maybe I'll send you a container of my bacon dripping so you can eat all
    of the grits that I will not.

    XD

    My first bread machine was a DAK. Did very well for me. As it should
    have. Kaplan sourced them from WelBilt

    I remember DAK too. Don't know from where but I definitely remember
    the name.

    Drew was a marketroid in the early 90s who helped open up the fledgling
    World Wide Wait as a marketing tool. He sold lots of re-branded gadgets
    and appliances. In his defence though, everything I ever bought or saw
    from DAK was "top drawer" stuff. I think he also had something to do (not certain) with the recently defunct Tiger Direct

    Both of those addys are *very* old-school. Today's chirrun would have
    not a clew.

    Yep! I am running a FTP server on the BBS. It doesn't get a lot of action except the CCP *loves* to try to upload crap.

    Found this recipe doing a search on "DAK bread machine recipes" Looks
    like something I may try.

    Yum. Something I'll be able to eat again soon.

    Title: Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff
    Categories: Crockpot, Beef
    Yield: 1 Servings

    1 1/2 lb Round steak
    4 tb Margarine
    2 cn Cream of mushroom soup
    1 ts Paprika
    1 c Onion; chopped
    1/2 c Water
    1 c Sour cream

    Cube round steak. Put steak in crock pot with remaining ingredients.

    Which raises the question (and one of my pet bug-a-boos with recipe
    writhers), Does it mean "cube" as in cut into cudes (dice) or does it
    mean to tenderise as in "cube steak".

    When I'm poulding in recipes and I come across a call foe "1/4 lb butter; cubed" I automatically change that to "1/4 lb butter; in cubes". Just for clarity. Taste of Home recipes are especially bad about that. And I have corresponded with them on that (and a couple other of ther gotchas) subject.

    Here's my favourite stroganov.

    Title: Authentic Beef Stroganov
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Dairy, Grains, Mushrooms
    Yield: 6 Servings

    2 lb Best steak you can find
    4 tb Butter
    1 ts Dried dill weed
    2 lg Onions; chopped fine
    1/2 lb Mushrooms; sliced *
    Salt & pepper
    1/2 c Sour cream
    2 c Stock or water
    1 c Kasha (buckwheat groats)
    1 lg Egg; beaten
    2 tb Butter
    1 ts Salt
    A few grinds of fresh black
    - pepper

    * You can use white button mushroom from the grocery
    store, but I think this dish is a special treat with
    foraged morel or oyster mushrooms.

    PREPARE A MIXTURE OF THE KASHA: Put some butter salt
    pepper in water and boil the liquid in an open pan with a
    lid.

    Mix kasha and egg and then turn this mixture into a
    non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Stir and turn
    this mixture for several minutes until the egg is cooked
    dry.

    Empty the kasha mixture into the boiling water, reduce to
    a simmer, cover and cook 10-15 minutes until dry and
    fluffy.

    Slice the meat steaks into very thin strips.

    Take a large pan and melt half the butter over medium
    heat. Cook the onions in it until translucent.

    When the onions are nearly brown, add the mushrooms and
    continue to cook.

    Now brown the strips of beef over medium high heat in a
    separate pan and cook in two batches so that none of the
    steak gets squelchy.

    When mushrooms are prepared, add salt and pepper to your
    taste. Now slowly add spoonfuls of sour cream until you
    get a thick, creamy texture.

    You can add lemon juice or any other beef cooking juices
    to this sour cream-onion-mushroom mixture.

    Best served with the arrangement of pile of kasha, steak,
    and onion-mushroom sauce on each plate.

    What an interesting recipe!

    Here's one for crepes with snow.

    ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01

    Title: Crepes a la Neige (Crepes with Snow)
    Categories: Canadian, Desserts
    Yield: 1 Servings

    1 c Flour
    1 1/4 c Milk
    1 c Fresh snow; hard packed
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 c Oil

    "Throughout Acadia, it was customary to make crepes at Candlemas
    and objects such as medals, wedding rings, buttons or pennies were
    hidden inside and often used to predict the future of those who
    found them. Moreover, since eggs were often scarce this time of
    year as a substitute with spectacular results. Hence some Acadians
    still describe a snowfall as "being enough to make crepes with."
    This recipe is always called Crepes a la neige, even when eggs are
    used instead of snow."

    Mix all the ingredients together to make a smooth dough. Drop a
    spoonful of the batter into 1" of hot fat. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes
    on each side. Serve with molasses or grated maple sugar.
