Hi Dave,


 RH> Ours are mosly full, but usually room for one or 2 more. Thinking of
 RH> tranferring my Jean Auel and James Clavell to the Nook; that'll free up
 RH> some room. Also do my Barbara Taylor Bradford and Bruce Catton; those 4
 RH> authors now occupy 2 shelves.

 DD> I have read all of Clavell's novel output since King Rat. And watched
 DD> the first Version of "Shogun" in 1980 when I was still watching
 DD> TeeVee. He does/did great historical novels and since his day job was
 DD> as a script writer in Hollywood - many of his yarns have been made
 DD> into movies and
 DD> babble-box shows. Some great like King Rat and Shogun and some
 DD> eminently forgettable like Tai Pan which was adapted by someone not
 DD> Clavell. They should have let Clavell do the screenplay rather than
 DD> the hack they used.


The Shogun series has 6 books--Shogun,Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, King Rat, Noble
House and Whirlwind. I've read/own them all, didn't really care for King
Rat but some of the characters showed up in Noble House. Never did watch
the series.


 DD>      8<----- EDIT ----->8

 DD> I'm going to have to start a second "ECHOMAIL" base in Meal Master as
 DD> I am at 21,000 recipes that I have entered for use in the echo. Wow!

 RH> I've cut way back on the recipies I want to save, thinking of "Will I
 RH> actually make it or not?" now.

 DD> I save them if they are interesting to me and if I think "I'd eat
 DD> that" after making the dish in my mind.


That's the way I was thinking when I first started with the echo but got
to the point where I was saving a lot more than I was making. Did
incorporate some things I'd read about into our way of eating, use of
balsamic vinegar for one.



 DD> Here's one - since I know you like Chick Filly whereas I have stood on
 DD> more than enough lines when I was in Unc's Yacht Club.  Bv)=

 DD>       Title: Copycat Chick Fil A Sauce
 DD>  Categories: Sauces, Condiments
 DD>       Yield: 6 servings


 RH> Except I don't like sauce on a lot of things. For a C-F-A sandwich I'll
 RH> use just one packet of mayonnaise, no ketchup or bbq or especially no
 RH> honey mustard.

 DD> I wouldn't pull a gun on you and make you use the stuff. My toppings
 DD> are usually very basic. F'rinstance I'll do tomato, onion and mayo on
 DD> a bacon cheezeburger.

 DD> I'm not a huge fan of ketchup - not even on my French fries. I'm more
 DD> likely to use mayo or tartar sauce if I use anything ... which is not
 DD> very often.

I don't put ketchup on fries either, prefer them plain. Hamburger (hold
the cheese) will get tomato (or ketchup), sometimes onion and or
lettuce, pickle (or pickle relish). But, like Michael, I like most meats
unsauced.
