Hello everyone,
With the current discussion about this echo, HOME_COOKING, and RECIPES

these days, however, it has always been my interpretation that "mass"

The current message limit in here is 20 messages a day. Dave generally will post about that many messages with his recipes.
Personally, I don't mind the recipes as I save most of what he posts (though that might change now with him providing me a copy of hisends>
recipe databases). I also think that seeing these recipes in here
might bring new people into the echo.

I don't know who UDD is, but it sounds like this person could come
close to doubling the number of postings per day in the echo.
If they all come from the same from: address or are sortable by subject it'd make it easier to sort them in an offline reader. It'd be nice to have the content and be able to sort between bulk recipe posting and conversations in the echo.
Dave Drum wrote to Moderator <=-
The proximate reason I post all of those recipes, etc. in Home_Cooking
and Recipes leads right back to a snarky comment that Weller made about them being "dead". And me being a contrarian.
Seriously, you don't have to make any special accommodations for me. I appreciate the thought, though.

Often more. Today the number was 45.
The new posters in Recipes has been nil, in Home_cooking there were a
rare few who did not stick around.
That's across two echoes. And five of the posts in Home_Cooking were
also in Cooking.
Just a few thoughts: If it's just recipies, I'd limit it to maybe 10
or 15 a day. I was on the Home Cooking echo for a while, usually just blasted thru a mass posting. I do likewise here--will look at the
title and go on to the next. Also, if it's National Something or Other Day, I don't think we need a lot of (similar) recipies, basically the
same but for a minor ingredient or two. Maybe I've gotten pickier over
the years but I don't collect recipies as much as I used to, even a
few years ago.

I now have somewhere around 120,000 recipes in my own database in MM before adding in Dave's, Bill's, and Jim's. When I get it all
together, I should be north of 250,000 recipes (with dupes,
of course).
I just don't want to change things in here, piss people off
and drop out of the echo because of recipes. I think it's
silly to have three echoes for the traffic of one echo and
would rather have the traffic in here. I can keep
HOME_COOKING and RECIPES as placeholders in the Elist for
further development later.
This is something I'll figure out eventually.
A local eatery makes excellent muffalettas. Haven't had one in a
while.

That's a lot of work to post those recipes. I don't see anyone else putting forth that kind of effort anymore.
While this looks good, using "extra-lean" meat in burgers is like
chewing on rubber IMNSHO. I made that mistake once with grilling
turkey burgers.

When banging in recipes I generally leave out or modify terms like
"extra lean" or "fat-free" generally with an "*". Much like I ditch
the "Kosher" on salt calls that are not accompanied by a specific
measure. Same for "Sea Salt". All salt is "sea salt" at its root. Bv)=
Nancy posted a lot of diabetic recipes - oftem cross-posting between
here and the Diabetic echo. And many, if not most, parroted the
"wisdom" of the moment and touched all or most of the "hot buttons". I take them with a grain of (verboten) salt.
Dale Shipp wrote to Sean Dennis <=-
I gave up collecting recipes two decades ago. I have no idea how many
I have.
Keeping COOKING as it is and having HC as a separate echo does not have the danger of sending current users away. If HC might attract a new
user (and it has done so a few times) then that person could be
encouraged to come on over and join COOKING.
If you have someplace that makes excellent muffalettas, then encourage them by eating there. Times are hard on small restaurants. Gail and I really like muffalettas, and always split a half when we go to New Orleans. We have tried them at a lot of other places and they fail on
one thing or another. Usually the failure is the bread. Second is the olive salad. We have found a very good jarred olive salad at Costco.
It only takes a table spoon or two to brighten up any meat sandwich.
Here is my edit of a recipe for Muffaletta, I've removed the original olive salad part of the recipe and left only the meats part -- which I also feel is an important third necessary feature for a good one.

Like the saying goes, we know so much that isn't so. Side note: while
I am careful on salt intake because of my poor health, I take 400mg of magnesium bisglycinate in chelated form (high absorption). It is suspected I have very low levels of magnesium but I can tell you that
in the past month I have taken magnesium, I am feeling better. I
cannot explain exactly how but there are subtle differences in mood, energy, and sleep. I also no longer am having myopathy from taking a statin and metformin together (pain in my thighs).
As for diabetic "wisdom", I don't always trust the experts. I do my
own research. I am lucky that my medical team understands me and my curmudgeonly nature and works with me. <G> But I will say that I am trying to get better. I can't undo a lot of the damage that has been
done but I can stop further damage.
This recipe is listed as diabetic though the brown rice packs some
serious carbs but less than white rice. This is still a tasty recipe
in my opinion though and something I would definitely make.

I do that a lot here (skipping messages) though I do speedread through many, being the moderator. Normally I will look at the title of a
message though I know how we don't usually change the subject line
when we change subjects in a conversation here in COOKING, which is
fine by me.
As for the recipes, I look at it like this: it's on-topic, contributes
to the echo, and isn't spam (unless it is SPAM). Dave has also said
he'd not post that many recipes in here and so far, since I've been moderator, he's stuck to the echo rules about posting mass recipes.
What I don't want is to close down HOME_COOKING and RECIPES then have people in the echo get mad at me for changing things around and
leaving. I understand natural attrition of the echo participants but
I don't want to force anyone away either. I have been in this echo
for a long time and feel I know which way the wind is blowing on my question but I'd like to come to a consensus before I do anything.

Do you even read the "National" (or International) Day recipes. I post

cholesterol and kidney disease but don't know that I have
every posted about them.
I know, I'm bad for not changing the subject but it helps me trace a

That's why I've never said anything about changing subject lines as I
know that's how we all keep track of stuff in here. If I am reading
mail on the BBS online or using GoldEd+ or FleetStreet, I have the
message base threaded so I can easily follow the thread. With FleetStreet, it has a very nice GUI and you can have a separate window
to follow threads. I normally use my Windows machine right now with
offline mail since I have both computers on a KVM. Once the BBS is
set up on its own, I probably will read mail directly on the BBS
machine
though once I get a car and a better laptop, I may be out and about
more and working with offline mail then too.
If that does happen, I will set things up so I can access my master MM databases as long as I can get online. It will save me from having to keep three different MM installs updated individually.

I have a netbook hiding out in my stuff at my parents' place. I
should find it and use it again. It's an older Gateway netbook but it works
quite well for what it is, especially when running Linux. It runs
Windows 7 well but I don't think it'd handle Windows 10. I'd keep a
usual set of programs on it for what I'd need. Though if I was to go full-time RV living, I'd invest in a good used HP Elitebook (business class) laptop to keep with me.

With the amount of recipes I'll have soon, I probably won't have to

collect

Interesting story about hooks--Mack Davis, back in the early 70s, was

"Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me" which became a very popular song

Both of netbooks are from ASUS - although I cannot remember why/how I wound up with two of them. I also have a Dell small-form-factor desk
top that I got at a local computer re-cycler for cheap and installed
a version of Linux as its OS. None of them have been turned on for at least 5 years. I have been meaning to fire them up and remove any of
the personally identifiable information contained there on and sending them to ReStore, Computer Banc, or the recycler where I got the Dell.

Oooops. I didn't finish my thought. ZZ TOP was an amazing quartet. I remain amazed that just 4 people, no matter how amplified, could get
that much complex sound. At first I thought it was studio trickery -
like the Edgar Winter Group did with "Frankenstein" - a hit made up of out-takes and sound bytes in the studio.
Then I saw the Texas quartet live .... no trickery. They were the real thing. Sadly the groups/acts that I most enjoyed seem to be falling
into the funeral homes in alarming numbers.
Even the enigmatic subject of Rickie Lee Jones' best ever ballad
"Chuck E's (Weiss) In Love" has made his final curtain call.
