Re: (...)
This weekend I went through every page of the [Email]C@H[/Email] site and copied recipes that were posted from the magazine, and some personal ones also. I figured that this way I'd know what you were talking about when you referred to a recipe from the past plus be able to cook some of the oldies but goodies. There are 7 recipes that I would like to have after reading all the reviews and would appreciate it if at sometime someone would post them over the next month or so. I definately know that these recipes aren't posted: Mushroom Pork Marsala with Fettucine Noodles King Crab Louis Sandwich Tarragon Cream Chicken and Artichokes Polenta Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Sugar Steak Salad Polenta Cake with Gorgonzola Butter Filling (I can't read my writing so I think this is the name. My hand was cramped from typing at this point ) Roxanne - there was a Sesame Fried Chicken that you said was only 1/4th of the recipe. I think it turned into a salad. Having read 190 pages, I am more enamoured of the magazine than I was even before. There are some really fine dinners out there that I'm dying to try. There are 4 people that kept this site going and I'm sure there are more but these 4 stand out in my mind - Gloria, TwighlightKitten, Roxanne and VegasDramaQueen. You were so gracious with your time that [Email]C@H[/Email] should have put you on the payroll. I know there are more but I'm rather brain dead this morning. Thanks to you all. Cheers!

Whew, Twilight!!! good job!
Jan, I've made two of the above (that I can remember) will look when we get home,
King Crab Louis Sandwich - loved this one!
Polenta Cake with Gorgonzola Butter Filling - I think that was the one that was just overpowering rich - couldn't eat it. (personal opinon only!)
You have your work cut out for you my dear - be sure to report back after each!!
P.S. went over to Cuisine Members Plus site and this is the review I gave the polenta dish -
"2006-08-04 This dish is over the top rich! Made my teeth curl and I could almost see my arteries clogging. I loved the basic polenta cooked with the 4 bay leaves - wonderful flavor.
I've never started polenta in cold water before, but it works! To serve this dish again, I stop at this point and maybe add just a touch of butter and a little grated Asiago, parmesan, or ricotta. And serve like that with the Pork Chops Capricciosa "
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

Gave that MasterCook 9 a workout did you? Good for you. The thing I did/do is I make separate cookbooks and then in one of them I import every recipe I MIGHT like to try. As I try them I either delete them or move them over to another cookbook for safe keeping. Once a week I export ALL the recipes and then copy to a disk in case something happens to my computers.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

TwilightKitten - your name was definately one that helped keep the site alive. I'm sorry I neglected to post it this morning but I was pretty brain dead, lol. There were also a couple of men who's names escape me at the moment. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I expected to get a couple a week but I should have known that one of you would take it upon yourselves to supply them. That was really very nice, TKitten. Thank you again. You are so sweet! What a great group of people! Thanks for the idea, BJ. I made my cookbooks (I don't use the ones that come with the program either) and in the title, I'd put C@H. Yes, I did give MC9 a workout and I think you so much for that gift. xoxox Jan
