Hi Dave,

No, those little things have a low rate of fuel consumption. It's the
big rig that goes thru it like water. I read recently where it takes a
gallon of fuel to move the QEII 6 inches; trucks get somewhat better
milage but not as good as the Metro size vehicles.

And right now, parent company is probably in a world of hurt.

More power to you. I usually get to read in off times, not always with
the time I'd like to take. The desk top system has the MM on it; I work
off a net book so I don't have the data base to search. Probably could
learn how to do it--in all my spare time--but I'll leave the "search &
burt" fun to you. (G)

RH>  DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

RH>  DD>       Title: Mini Monte Cristo Sandwiches
RH>  DD>  Categories: Pork, Cheese, Appetizers, Sandwiches
RH>  DD>       Yield: 4 servings

RH> I'll let you keep this one; the only things that looked decent were
RH> the ham & cheese. I'd rather have them on whole wheat or rye bread.

 DD> I like Monte Cristo sarnies made with Texas Toast, and with the
 DD> ingredients listed - and the more usual sliced turkey breast and bacon
 DD> along with the ham and Emmenthaler cheese.

IOW, not a sandwich for those watching their cholesterol.


 DD> Basically it is just a regular sammich made with French Toast.
 DD> Remember, always, to serve them with plenty of napkins as the fired

 DD> the fingers greasy.  Bv)=

All that fat makes the sandwich slide right down. (G) but it wouldn't
taste as good without it.


 DD>       Title: French Toast Strata
 DD>  Categories: Breads, Eggs, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 7 servings

One of these days/nights I'll get pulled together enough (preplanned,
IOW) to make one of these.
