    Hi Dave,

    got a mice phone at a rummgae sale that was locked to a different

    Nice. You got it working as we laughed at each other's kitchens via
    email. :)

    I've got (currently - just looked) 4644 taglines in two categories - cooking/culinary and general. Snagging taglines is pretty easy in
    Synch Term. Except if the tagline I want is in a message entered by
    SLMR. Then I have to resort to brute force (type it in) to add it. Bv)=

    Laugh, or when I use sempoint's built in tagline manager as it put them all
    in the origin line. :)

    ... If this is dying, I don't think much of it.

    Actually turned out to be pretty easy as long as I used GMail (which

    glad to not have to do all dat work any longer. Bv)=

    Title: Georgian Funeral Rice (Shila Plavi)
    Categories: Lamb/mutton, Vegetables, Rice, Wine, Cheese
    Yield: 4 servings

    2 tb Vegetable oil
    12 oz Boneless lamb leg or loin;
    - trimmed, in 1/2" chunks
    1 1/2 ts Salt; more to taste
    1 lg Onion; fine chopped
    1 1/2 c Short-grain rice
    1 tb + 1 ts caraway seeds; fine
    - ground
    1 tb Fresh ground pepper; more
    - for garnish
    1 ts Dill seeds (opt)
    3/4 c Dry wine
    3 1/4 c Meat stock; divided
    1 Bay leaf
    3 tb Unsalted butter; room temp
    1 c Coarse grated pecorino;
    - more for garnish

    To a pot set over high heat, add the oil. When it’s
    shimmering and hot, add the lamb, sprinkle with the
    salt, and cook, stirring every minute or so, until
    browned with a few pink spots remaining, about 5
    minutes. Turn the heat to medium-high, add the onions,
    and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft and
    translucent (but not browned), about 7 minutes more.

    Add the rice and cook, stirring continuously, until
    coated in oil and translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in
    the caraway, black pepper, and dill seeds if using, then
    pour in the wine and cook, stirring continuously, until
    the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 1 minute more.
    Turn the heat to high and add 1½ cups of the stock and
    the bay leaf. When the liquid boils, turn the heat down
    to maintain a strong simmer and cook, stirring every
    minute or so, until most of the liquid has evaporated,
    6-8 minutes. Add the remaining stock, return the liquid
    to a boil, then simmer, stirring frequently, until the
    rice is cooked to your liking, about 8 minutes for al
    dente or 11 for soft. Remove from the heat.

    Add the butter and pecorino and stir until both have
    melted, about 1 minute. Season the shila plavi with salt
    to taste, then serve immediately, sprinkled with more
    pecorino and black pepper.

    NOTE: An equal weight of ground lamb, though
    nontraditional, may be substituted with excellent
    results.

    Nobody knows how shila plavi came to be associated with
    funerals-even Georgian food historians are stumped. But
    if Occam's razor is to be believed, it's probably
    because the dish is so deeply soothing that it makes a
    wonderful balm against hardship and grief. So live a
    little, and eat Georgian funeral rice.

    Whatever works! I use emclient on the PC and phone so I just used my
    normal email client. I did use the gmail for the phone for many years.

    Yeah I have a node number for Fido and Micronet. I wrote a program that manages all the nonsense for me. It's better for me in the summer when
    I'm in the woods on a cell signal that is patchy at best.

    The BBS was on auto pilot for so long... It was just sad to leave it
    running any longer.
