Write your reply.

assistant: I certainly agree with that.  Most of the Fido echos, but especially
 all of the cooking echos, are well behaved and friendly places to be.
 I cannot say that about the internet usenet groups, even though I will
 use them as sources of information.
 There are two ways that I know of to pick up Fidonet echos via the
 internet.
 One way is to use a telnet client from a full service internet provider
 to telnet to a BBS that is both connected to the internet and also
 connected to Fidonet.  One that I use is "bbs.neverending.com" located
 in Florida.  He allows free access to the fido echos that he carries.
 A second way is to use a service provided by Karen Mintzias from her
 BBS (SALATA) in California.  She has a listserver robot that will send
 mail packets to you via internet email attachments and will accept
 email uploads in the same manner.   For more information on that
 method, send an email to her at km@salata.com.
 The moderator here is Perry Lowell.  She has been here for at least as
 long as we have been echoing.  Gail & I do read this echo and post
 here, especially when we see a request that we can help on.

 Send an email to Karen Mintzias, the sysop of Salata BBS in California.
 Her address is km@salata.com.   What she does is to set up a robot that
 sends daily or weekly mail packets (preferably BlueWave) and that
 accepts email uploads.   You need to be able to receive attached files
 and to decode them (using UUDECODE I think).

assistant: Hallo Ian,
Ups, I didn't look at your address, so I thought you are in the US ;-)
Hm, I think I should ask my mother-in-law. She can make fastastic butter
cream cakes - she made one for our marriage last year. One piece - and you
don't need any more food for some hours :-)
I really don't know anything about wine. I know which sorts I like (the
more sweeter ones), but that's all.
Oh, that's a new information for me, thank you.
Normally I don't touch the egg yolk and white when I separate them. I beat
the egg carefully against the border of a bowl and break it into 2 pieces
without losing the ingrediences. Then I let the white flew into the pot
and put the yolk from one half shell to the other and back for a few
times. If the egg is fresh, the yolk stays in one piece and the egg is
easy to separate. If not, I just don't use the egg, because it is not
fresh any more. Of course this method needs some training :-)
Never heard about that. But I never needed it, too :-)
Am I allowed to translate these informations to German, put them into Meal
Master and post them to German echoes and newsgroups? I think this could
be new and interesting for some other people.

will want to check out computer software stores for it. If you have internet
access, I don't remember the URL but, if you do a quick Yahoo search for
"MasterCook" you should find the maker's home page quickly. It has a
demo version you can play with before you decide to buy it.
Now I love Meal Master myself but Mastercook also seems like a good
recipe database program.

In Quebec it is always Fridays; I don't know why.
These are different seasonings. I must try them in my pea soup next time
I make it.
Yes!
This recipe may not be exactly the way they do it in Quebec [I live in
Yellowknife up in the Northwest Territories], but I like it.

  Lightly grease a baking sheet.  Punch the dough down.  Divide the
dough into 8 equal pieces.  Roll each piece into a 4-inch log and tie
each log loosely into a double knot.  Place the rolls on the baking
sheet.
  Lightly beat the remaining egg.  Brush the rolls with the egg and

                        vegetable oil
    6  slices           bacon, crisp cooked and crumbled

    2  Tbsps            butter or margarine
    2  Tbsps            green onions with tops, thinly sliced
    1  tsp              salt
  1/2  tsp              white pepper
    1  cup (4 ozs)      American cheese, shredded
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  Scrub the potatoes and let dry.  Lightly coat the potatoes with oil and
place in a shallow baking pan.
  In the preheated oven, bake the potatoes  for 1 hour or until tender.
  Remove the potatoes from the oven.  Cut each in half lengthwise.  Using
a large spoon, scope out the insides of the potatoes, leaving a 1/3-inch
shell.  In a large bowl, combine the insides of the potatoes, the bacon,
sour cream, butter/margarine, green onions, salt, and white pepper.  Mash
together with a hand-held potato masher until the mixture is smooth.
  Spoon the mixture into the potato shells.  Place the stuffed shells in
a shallow baking pan and cover with aluminum foil.
  In the preheated oven, bake the stuffed shells for 20 to 25 minutes or
until hot.
  Remove the foil.  Sprinkle with the cheese,  Continue to bake for 2
minutes or until the cheese melts.
Makes 8 servings.
TIP:  Store potatoes in a cool, dark, well ventilated place.  The skins
      of potatoes which are exposed to light for too long will turn green
      and develop a bitter flavor.  Do not store uncooked potatoes in the
      refrigerator.
