 SD> Unfortunately, I don't seem to be attracting as many people as I once

Maybe, if you are ambitious to grow the board. What are you looking
for the board to do? A bigger board might give you visibility (if
that's what you're interested in) and a feeling of contributing
something to the general welfare, but it also comes with a price -
you get sort of committed to keep working on it even when you
don't feel like it, plus there is the issue of pesky users, which
are pretty inevitable in this world. If you're looking for revenue,
that's a toughie. Even in the heyday of BBSing my sysop friends
seldom broke even, some of them with great disappointment.

I am sorry to hear that. I was of the impression that you
enjoyed spicy food. Any particular ingredients in the
curry mix that you can identify as causing difficulty?

Thanks!

Thanks for that too. After this next bunch of music (July 4 stuff)
and after Carol runs away again I'll take an afternoon off and check
it out. Late in the week or maybe next weekend.

1 ts salt
1/4 ts pepper
1/2 c seedless raisins

Brown ground beef. Push meat to one side and saute garlic until

Mix and knead all ingredients until dough is soft. On a
floured board roll out 1/8" thick. Cut into 4 - 5" circles
(use wide-mouthed jar or cup for cutting circles). Put a
spoonful of meat filling in center of each circle. Fold to

sides. Deep fry until golden brown and drain. Or, instead
of deep frying, pies can be baked at 425 F for 15-20 min
