~*~ MAGGIE'S WORLD ~*~



TGIF!  For you, any way.  I return to work today (sigh) but was
able to get a lot of things done on my days off.  Besides the usual
housework, I did a lot of work on a2z, too.  The web site is looking
better and I have loaded a bunch of recipes.  I hope you take time
to look at it.  As I mentioned yesterday, if you read the newsletter
on the web site, you will NEVER go back to the “old” email method
again.  I put a LOT of work into getting the issues on there daily
so take advantage of the efforts, won’t you?
http://www.a2zrecipes.net/11072003.html

Important note:
In yesterday’s issue, I devoted a large commentary regarding the
voting “situation” at cumuli.com.  That is something I probably
should not have done and for many reasons.  First of all, in my
“wording”, there was room left for interpretation that I may feel
the list owner used some irregular practices to achieve the #1 slot.
I do NOT feel this to be the case.  There exists some unscrupulous
people who may have gerrymandered the votes but it was not of
that list owner or this list owner’s doing.   The underhanded votes
were directed at an entirely different publication.  The only way to
handle them was to “remove” votes that seemed “suspect”.  In doing
so, the votes on many of the top newsletters were affected.  In the
scheme of things, our newsletter is a relatively small fish in a very
large ocean of publications.  The way to maintain a #1 slot is to have
consistent votes.  If a larger fish happens by...you know the story.
Also, any of you who know me personally will attest to the fact that
I do not post emails that are hurtful.  I did away with the section
called “Have Something to Say?” for expressly that reason.  If you
wish to bad-mouth other readers you will have a (brief) audience of
ONE (me).  And I will delete that email as quickly as humanly possible.
We are all different with differing views.  Which brings me to yet
another reason for regretting yesterday’s post: there are so many
publications on the internet for which that practice is commonplace.
A to Z recipes is NOT one of them.  It will continue to NOT be one.
My “spouting off” was hurtful to at least one person which means it
was hurtful to the group to post.  For that I apologize.  Lastly, I con-
sider the votes cast at cumuli.com to be important for many reasons,
NONE of which are considered a vote for ME.  As stated in each voting
link you see in these publications, you are voting to keep the “A to Z
Recipes Newsletter” as number one, not ME.  Yes, it is a gauge for me to
determine how well or badly I may be doing in my efforts here, but not
at all a vote for me as a person.  From time to time, I lose focus.  Even
in my lost state, I know the votes can be useful or not, especially if there
is a lapse in controls to maintain credible statistics by the vote site.  My
desire to solicit support for truth in reporting resembled a “witch hunt”. 
That is not my style.  One last thought: A to Z Recipes isn’t another one
of those “damned recipe lists”.  Please notice the quotes.  We are MUCH
more to MANY people.  That’s why we have been around this long.  YOUR
participation is what makes us different.  Thanks!

Attention AOL users:
In the “Did You Know” section we have pointers from Richard, AR,
who is able to open large emails (like the “theme” issues).  I hope
you will read it, especially if you are one of the many AOL’ers who
email me on Sunday saying “can you send me the issue in smaller size
emails so I can open it?”.  I am so grateful for the explanation. 
Thanks, Richard!

Our Current Monthly Theme: "Gifts from the Kitchen"
The theme for the month of November (to be posted on the first Sunday
in December) is "Gifts from the Kitchen".  A gift from the kitchen is twice
blessed; it gives pleasure to the giver as well as to the receiver.  We're looking
for recipes for gifts that are homemade in your own kitchen, whether they are
edible or not (maybe even soaps or bath/shower additives?).  Some cookie or
brownie in a jar recipes (don't forget the instructions for the cards to be
included inside the jar!) or perhaps homemade candy recipes?  Do you have a
recipe for a biscuit mix (make ahead biscuits where all the recipient does is
add water and bake) or a multi-purpose cake or muffin mix?  Some tried-and-
true recipes would certainly be appropriate as we would want to offer our
friends and family only the finest.  Please read the rules for recipe submissions
and sent to the correct email address.

Monthly Theme: "Gifts from the Kitchen"
A to Z Recipes continues with its popular Theme Issues.  We
will share theme recipes and post them on the first Sunday of
each month.  Send your recipes no later than the last Friday
of each month to have them posted in the next monthly theme
issue.  You may send in as many recipes in each email as your
little heart desires.  If the number of recipes exceeds those
needed in the issue, the publisher will post as many from every
submitter as possible and save the remaining recipes for regular,
daily issues.  The rules for recipe submissions for the monthly
theme issues are the same as ALL recipes submitted for posting.

The rules are as follows:
As a service to your fellow readers, please send only recipes
that are in a form that others could easily copy and save for
their own use.  Recipes that would require a lot of editing or
cleaning up or use non-standard measurements should not be
submitted.  This would include recipes with traces from forwarding,
those in ALL caps (or NO caps), and recipes that do not contain
the standards for recipes (title, ingredient list, and instructions).
Recipes without a name/location of sender will NOT be posted. 
A to Z Recipes protects the privacy of its readers and does NOT
publish email addresses.  There will be no exceptions.  Send recipes
you'd like to share to: a2zrecipes@fastmail.fm
(Use the theme name as subject.)
Please include your name and location in all emails.

~*~ RAMBLINGS ~*~



Bette, Pittsburg, CA...

UNDER OUR SKIN!
  
There once was an oyster, whose story I tell;
Who found that some sand, had gotten into his shell.
It was only a grain, but it gave him great pain;                    
For oysters have feelings, although they are plain.

Now, did he berate the harsh workings of fate,
That had brought him to such a deplorable state?
"No," he said to himself, "Since I cannot remove it,
I'll lie in my shell, and think how to improve it."

The years rolled around, as the years always do,
And he came to his ultimate Destiny...stew.
Now the small grain of sand that had bothered him so,
Was a beautiful pearl all richly aglow.

This tale has a moral, for isn't it grand,
What an oyster can do with a morsel of sand?
Think... What could WE do, If we'd only begin,
With some of the things that get under OUR skin?

~*~ DID YOU KNOW ? ~*~



FYI Downloading on AOL ------- Richard K. - ARK

I'm on AOL and I don't have any problem with downloads.
If you have the time, and are so inclined, pass it on:

After you download, click on "Find File ".  It will take you to
"My Documents" and the file will be highlighted. Click on "File"
and on the drop down menu click on "Open" VOILA !!!!!!

The one's who are asking you to send individual copies are clicking
on "Open File" and they get the "It's too big, I can't do it” message
from AOL.

When all else fails I've found going to the Windows HELP file is
very helpful and so is AOL help, if you have the time to wait in the
queue line.

Some funnies from yours truly...

LAST WORDS OF WISDOM

The wise old Mother Superior was dying. The nuns gathered around
her bed. She asked for a little warm milk to sip so a nun went to the
kitchen to warm some milk. Remembering a bottle of whiskey received
as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous
amount into the warm milk.

Mother drank a little, then a little more, then before they knew it,
she had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop. "Mother, Mother"
the nuns cried, "Give us some wisdom before you die!"

She raised herself up in bed with a pious look on her face, and pointing
out the window she said, "Don't sell that cow!



WHAT TIME IS IT?

On some air bases, the military is on one side of the field and
civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control
tower in the middle. One day, on just such a field, the tower received
a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?"

The tower responded, "Who is calling?"

The aircraft replied, "What difference does it make?"

The tower replied, "It makes a lot of difference:

If you are a commercial airlines flight, it is 3 o'clock.
If you are an Air Force aircraft, it is 1500 hours.
If you are a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells.
If you are an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3.
If you are a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon.
If you are in the National Guard, it's still a couple of hours until quitting time."



BAD BRAKES

Jill's car was unreliable and she called John for a ride every
time it broke down. One day John got yet another one of those
calls.

"What happened this time?" he asked.

"My brakes went out," Jill said. "Can you come to get me?"

"Where are you?" John asked.

"I'm in the drugstore," Jill responded.

"And where's the car?" John asked.

Jill replied, "It's in here with me."

MASHED CARROTS AND TURNIPS

~Sent in by: Anne, Delta, BC

Hi thought I'd share this mixture I came up with yesterday. 
My daughter (who is eleven), said it was like eating dessert
with dinner!  She loved it!

Ingredients:
3 or 4 large carrots
1 / 2 medium sized rutabaga
2 tablespoons whipping cream
2 tsp. butter
1 tablespoon Demerara* type sugar

Boil carrots and 'turnips' together until soft.  Mash (the carrots
may not mash up completely, but it still looks okay). Add remaining
ingredients and serve.  Yummy!  Serves 4-6

Enjoy!

*Maggie's Note:
You could substitute American light brown sugar in the recipe.

~*~ COOKING FOR TWO ~*~

This section provides some recipes for those who cook for
two.  Not many recipes are mindful of the need to have it
"scaled down" for you.  I hope this helps.


DOMESTICATIONS - America's Authority on Home Fashions
http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=qELfutnXLH0&offerid=15019.10000001&type=3&subid=0


OLD-FASHIONED MEATLOAF FOR TWO 

This tiny meatloaf should not be overbaked! Once removed from
the oven, it will keep cooking for a few minutes. The chili sauce
is the American kind, not the Asian.

8 ounces ground chuck
2 tablespoons grated onion
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons chili sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the chuck, onion, parsley, 2
tablespoons of the chili sauce, the Worcestershire, salt, and
pepper in a bowl. Toss together lightly.

2. Form the meat into a 5-inch by 3-inch oval loaf in a small baking
pan. Spread the remaining tablespoon of chili sauce all over the sur-
face of the meatloaf. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
Do not overbake.

Makes 2 servings.
