Ever notice how it's always all about HIM? How HE has to fit into every
single thread he enters; how HE has to be the expert; how well HE can put
someone down for little or no reason; how HIS dirty, filthy mind has to
inject smut into most of the comments he makes? The "how HE" could go on
in finitum, but to really enumerate would serve no purpose. Jesu Christe,
I'm sick to death of it. No one can have a normal "conversation" here
without his insulting and demeaning, or crude and lewd remarks. I guess he
has never recognized the fact that this isn't a porno site or one where
people seek abuse.

The occasional recipes or constructive comments that HE occasionally posts
is not entitlement to run roughshod over a group of very enlightened and
interesting people the majority of the time.

I know there's no solution. His followers won't let him go, and he
wouldn't go even if they did. I'm afraid he'll be a blot on the landscape
of rfc until the day he dies.

Flame away...I know you will.

Welcome to Usenet, use your news reader filters and he doesn't exist
anymore.

Of course. When he's off his good behavior he's a complete ****ant.
Been that way for years, and nobody really likes it, far as I can tell.

But he corrected a posting of mine a few days ago, and he was right.
Did so in a boorish way, but... he was right.

Since this is a public place, and since the public comprises many
boors... just let it go. Ignore the silliness, scoop up the good stuff.

You're right, of course, Jack. As TonyP suggested, it's definitely time to
use a filter. His aggravation is not worth my time.

He is funny once in a while, you have to admit... take it for what it is,
some rude guys opinion (maybe he needs *some*). There's a lot of topic
changing here with the click group, it's not just him. It's Usenet.

I'll admit he can be funny on occasion, albeit, usually at someone else's
expense. Oh, he definitely needs "something", but I'm more inclined to
think it's an enema...he's so full of s#@%! Topic changing usually never
bothers me and I usually participate. Although, I'll admit that I
overreacted about my cheddar cheese post. <G> I've been on Usenet since
long before the web and general Internet use. Yes, it's Usenet! Luckily,
I've never before had to put up with something like this. Luckier still, I
can set my newsreader with permanent filters!

Don't let him get to you Wayne, everyone here knows how he is (like a bad
family member). Relax, take his comments for what they are (bullshit) and
enjoy the other posts. :)

_Desiderata_


"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may
be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with
all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and
aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.


If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for
always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your
achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career,
however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.


Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of
trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons
strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the
face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take
kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of
youth.


Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not
distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and
loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are
a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a
right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the
universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And
whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep
peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is
still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.


Strive to be happy."


--- Max Ehrmann, 1927

Thanks, Z Girl.

Duh'Wayne is typical of the insecure ****ant who suffers from paranoid
grandiosity (a mental disorder), needs to feel he's in control but at about 40
years his age his years have finally superceded his IQ, making that
impossible... perhaps instead of constantly failing at becoming the big man on
RFC U campus he'd feel important by simply continuing perpetuating elder-abuse
on his mother. Duh'Wayne portrays the classic personalty of a Megalomaniac...
perfectly characterized in his fervid need for others to ascribe to his
distorted beliefs; to wit his initiating this thread... Duh'Wayne, you are one
sad piece of shit... get help.

You can file a complaint at ABUSE with his internet service provider. They can
jerk his connection if complaints are substantial and justified.

Which they are not. :-)

I've been on others lists, who's list flamer/trolls were FAR worse, and
they got multiple complaints to their server....... and they are still around.

Most ISP masters know better than to take usenet seriously.
Maybe we can learn from that?????

It's an anarchy. Deal with it.

There are way too many control freaks around. What do these guys do when
they're at a basketball game or in a barroom or train station and they hear
somebody say things they don't like? Call the cops? Have them ejected?
Sheesh, the skin around here can be as thin as those spring roll wrappers.

At one time, *public* killfiling was a prime defensive move in the
Flame Group Games -- now it's just petty and childish, regardless of
what group one does it in. I know, I'm guilty of it myself at times,
but lately I killfile threads more than authors...

Wayne, as you say, you've used Usenet for a long time. However, Google
shows you beginning on this newsgroup in August.

Sheldon's favorite sport is hassling newbies, to see how they react. You're
making him chuckle, believe me. He flamed me badly when I first joined
rec.food.cooking and I retaliated, just like you - and got flamed again and
again. However, he has been helpful to me, has some great tips, some great
recipes, and does a lot of research. I don't want to killfile him - I
enjoy him and just overlook the blue posts. He's just as entitled to use
this newsgroup as I am, you are, or anyone else. Ride with it - either
ignore him or killfile him if you can't take the heat. There's no point in
continuing to gripe.
Peace.

Maybe once - but he rapidly becomes tiresome. Sheldon's the classic
one-trick pony, and he doesn't even do that one trick in a particularly
novel or interesting way. I killfiled him months ago, and the group has
been far more enjoyable since then.

Thanks, Katra... you're a good sport.

I mean if folks would rather avoid intercourse with me, not you, Katra ;), all
they need do is not engage my posts... a fact even a simpleton like Duh'Wayne
should be able to comprehend... but the matter goes deeper... Duh'Wayne is
mentally ill... and of that no one should have any doubt whatsoever, and he's
not the only sicko here.

Ergo:

It's not so much people filtering out MY posts as it is their desire to prevent
me from responding to THEIR posts. hehe For Duh'Wayne and others of his ilk
(idiots, morons, imbeciles) that's what proves embarrassing, that I can reply
to their idiocy, when I draw attention to how foolish they are, for the entire
world to see. Just because the butcher who birthed Duh'Wayne squeezed those
tongs tons too hard on that pointy pinhead of his is no cause for him to
inflict his anger and frustration out on us normal, well-adjusted folks.
You're sick, Duh'Wayne, sick and stupid!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . . .

No flame, but you are free to plonk anyone. I did so after a week in
spite of his sometimes valuable content. I assume that when he posts
something helpful it will get repeated in a reply, but I don't know
what I might have missed.

Well I do agree that people (myself included) here take Sheldon too

And even when it does, what's to stop the complaintee from just

Well, I've never seen a post begging him to stay, if that's what you mean.
And surely you realize that there's no way to "make" anybody go or stay since
Usenet is public access.

So basically, you just posted a rant about someone who is in so many killfiles
that it won't even be read much. And you gave him his own topic. Isn't that
just the sort of thing you were just ranting *against*?

You gotta learn to hit the delete key if you don't want to read Sheldon's
posts.Or, as was suggested, killfile.

Calves foot jelly, anyone? On-the-hoof route to aspic

By Zillah BaharI want to thank my readers who went to the trouble of educating
me about calves foot jelly over the last month.Some of you really got into a
big hoof over the matter at hand. Martin Ross' query touched off a wave of
nostalgia.I'd like to share one of the most interesting and informative pieces
of correspondence I received regarding calves foot jelly. This one is from
Shirley Ginzburg, who describes herself as a "faithful reader," my favorite
kind. Ginzburg writes, in part:"I wanted to put in `my two cents' on the
subject of p'cha (or as your correspondent Martin Ross spelled it, pitzeh)."If
you verbalize his phonetics, you will hear it as I spelled it above, or as
`petchah', which is how you will find it in Jewish cookbooks published in
America during the 1920s through '40s."He recalls chicken legs (more precisely
the feet) were used to create the calcium-rich broth which when chilled,
gelatinized like an aspic. The eggs were most likely boiled then floated in the
aspic (same as we use unflavored gelatin today). When the cold dish was
unmolded and sliced, the garlicky aspic with cooked egg and bits of boiled meat
made a lovely appetizer."The recipes I have seen call for calves feet to create
the aspic."Today we have difficulty getting the soft young veal bones which
when boiled down, give a sturdy aspic. Oh well. Use chicken feet. Or commercial
gelatin packets."Truth to tell, my Russian-born grandmother made this dish once
in awhile, and I know my mom did rarely. We kids didn't care for it much, and
the dish was something of a nuisance to make."To our forbears, it was a fine
source of calcium/protein with a meat-garlic flavor. A cheap way to feel one
had `meat at the meal' when other cuts were too costly."I've included a recipe
for this traditional Jewish dish from "The New Complete International Jewish
Cookbook" by Evelyn Rose. She notes that each community of European Jews has a
different name for calves foot jelly: Fusnogge (Yiddish), Ptchia (Russian),
Sulze (German)."It is a perfect example," writes Rose, "of the ability of the
Jewish cook to make a specialty dish from humble ingredients.

"CALVES FOOT JELLY"
Serves 6-8

2 calves feet, with cold water to cover them
1 large onion, peeled
1 fat clove garlic, peeled
3 bay leaves
1 level tsp. black peppercorns
2 level tsp. salt
2 Tbs. lemon juice (or cider vinegar, if preferred)
3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
Garnish:lemon quarters
tomato
watercress

It's easiest to use an oval, heat-proof casserole in which the cleaned feet can
be laid without having to saw them up. Put in the feet, cover with cold water
and bring to a boil on top of the stove. Simmer for 10 minutes, then, using a
wet spoon, skim off the froth. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns
and salt. Cover and simmer gently for a further hour, either on top of the
stove or in the oven. Skim once more, partially cover, and continue to simmer
for a further 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until the gristle and meat come away from
the bone.Lift out the bones and any meat attached to them and set aside. Strain
the liquid into a bowl, then return to the washed pan, together with the lemon
juice and the meat, cut into 3/8-inch cubes. Bring once more to the boil, them
remove from heat.To set the jelly:Rose uses a French paté dish, 9 by 5 by 3
inches, but a loaf tin of similar size is just as good, particularly if you
wish to turn it out for slicing. Pour half the liquid into the dish, and leave
in the refrigerator until it begins to set. Arrange a layer of the sliced
hard-boiled egg on top, and spoon over the remaining mixture, including the
meat. Chill overnight in the refrigerator until firm. Slices can be cut from
the dish, or the jelly can be turned out on a platter and decorated with water
cress, tomatoes and lemon wedges.

tHE rEAL dEAL

TARTOFFU

Tartoffu is a dome-shaped Italian ice cream confection, generally served as a
dessert but can be eaten alone as a snack, usually served with demi-tasse.
Tartoffu can be prepared in various sized portions; for single serving, for
six, eight, as many as you'd like.

Here we go...

Choose an appropriate sized [round-bottomed] glass bowl, one large or several
small bowls. Line bowls with plastic wrap leaving extra lapping over the rim.
Place lined bowl(s) in fridge.

Next melt bittersweet chocolate, how much depending upon bowl size(s) - you can
never have too much chocolate - actually how much will become apparent shortly.

Coat inside of cold lined bowl(s) with melted chocolate. A fairly thick coat
is required, approximately 1/8" thick - you may need to apply 2-3 coats
chilling bowl(s) in freezer between coats.

Chocolate bowl(s) will be filled with ice cream, so begin preparing ice cream
filling ahead.

Here is the traditional ice cream recipe; prepare a quantity which will
suffice. Again, the method whereby this recipe is used for Tartoffu will
become apparent

Spumoni©

I think it would be very hard to find a spumoni mold nowadays, so instead, use
a large 3/4-quart jello mold.

First Mixtu

2 cups milk
3/4 cups sugar
5 egg yolks
1/2 tsp vanilla (or you can use any flavoring you wish)

Combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla in a saucepan and cook over very
low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thick. Cool, then place in a
metal bowl and freeze until mixture is medium hard, about two hours. Mixture
should be soft enough to be spooned out easily.

Second Mixtu

1 cup heavy cream beaten stiff
1/4 cup sugar
9 maraschino cherries, cut into small pieces
1 tbsp. candied orange peel cut fine
2 tbsp blanched slivered almonds

Gently mix all of the ingredients together, and chill in refrigerator. Chill
your mold well. When first mixture is ready, line the inside of the mold with
it, leaving a hole big enough for the second mixture in the center. Fill hole
with second mixture, and cover with wax paper, or plastic wrap and freeze for
two hours. Dip in warm water quickly to unmold. Cut into portions of 6 to 8
------

Now fill your chocolate lined bowl(s) with ice cream, leaving 1/4" space at
top. Place filled bowl(s) into freezer to set up, about 1 hour. Meanwhile
re-heat or melt more chocolate. Then fill the 1/4" space with a thick coating
of chocolate - this will become the Tartoffu bottom. Cover Tartoffu(s) with
plastic wrap and place back into freezer until ready to serve.

To serve remove from freezer and peel back plastic wrap. Invert Tartoffu(s)
onto appropriate serving plate(s) and unmold gently and peel off remaining
plastic wrap.
Place one half a glacè cherry on top of each Tartoffu - Mangia!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Soft Torrone
(Italian Christmas Nougat)

1 cup honey
2 egg whites
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 pound almonds,
shelled and blanched
1/2 pound hazelnuts,
shelled and lightly toasted
1 teaspoon candied orange peel, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind


Place the honey in top of double boiler over boiling water for 1 to 1-1/2
hours, until honey is caramelized. Stir the honey frequently. Beat egg whites
until stiff. Slowly add to honey, mixing well. The mixture will be foamy white.
Combine sugar with 2 tablespoons of water in small saucepan and let boil,
without stirring, until caramelized. Add caramelized sugar to honey mixture a
little at a time, mixing well. Cook mixture a little longer until it reaches
the hard ball stage. (A small drop turns hard when placed in a cup of cold
water.) Add nuts, candied orange peel and grated lemon rind. Mix well and
quickly before it hardens.

Immediately pour mixture two inches deep into two or three (depending on size)
loaf pans lined with parchment paper. Let cool 20 minutes. Remove from pans and
cut each slab into rectangular bars. You may make one cut lengthwise down the
center forming two torrone rectangles or slice crosswise to make five or six
smaller torrone bars. Wrap each bar in aluminum foil or waxed paper and store
at room temperature in an airtight container. It keeps for a long time if
wrapped well.

To serve, cut the torrone bar into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thin slices. Serve with
coffee or tea following a holiday meal.

Note:
Traditional torrone is sandwiched between two pieces of ostia or thin sheets of
unleavened wheat bread. Ostia is often called "wafer." I've omitted this
ingredient in the recipe, as it's hard-to-find. The torrone I made was fine
without it. But, if you can find "wafer" or ostia at an Italian market, you may
want to use it. In that case, you would place a sheet of wafer on the bottom of
each loaf pan before pouring torrone mixture. Then top the torrone with another
sheet of wafer.

Recipe adapted from The Talisman Italian Cook Book by Ada Boni. Crown, 1950.
