Steve enlisted in the Army just as they were beginning to phase out the C-Rats in favor of the MREs. He brought a few C-Rats home for us to explore, more MREs when we moved to Frankfurt am/Main and a unit that
was out in the field quite often. Our girls thought the MREs were something great when they (girls) were younger; I understand the post

We had a store (long gone now) downtown that sold surplus C-rats. They were very popular with campers and outdoors folks.

Title: Typhoon's Honey-Walnut Shrimp
Categories: Seafood, Nuts, Citrus, Sauces
Yield: 2 Servings

MMMMM----------------------CANDIED WALNUTS---------------------------
1 c Water
2 c Sugar
1/2 c Walnut halves
Oil for deep-frying

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
1 tb Butter
1/4 c Mayonnaise
1/3 c Sugar
3 tb Condensed milk
3 tb Water

MMMMM---------------------SHRIMP & ASSEMBLY--------------------------
1 c Cornstarch
20 md (26-30/lb) shrimp; peeled,
- deveined
Oil for frying
Sauce
Candied walnuts
Toasted sesame seeds;garnish
Orange slices; garnish

MAKE THE NUTS FIRST: In a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan,
bring the sugar and water to a boil. Add the walnuts,
reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer and cook just
until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and cool the
walnuts (discard the simple syrup). In a separate medium,
heavy-bottom saucepan filled two-thirds full with oil and
heated to 350ºF/175ºC, deep-fry the walnuts until the
exterior turns golden-brown, about 1 to 3 minutes,
watching that the syrup does not burn. Strain the nuts and
drain on a rack.

THEN THE SAUCE: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over
medium heat. Stir in the mayonnaise and sugar until
combined. Stir in the condensed milk and cook until the
sugar dissolves and the mixture forms a smooth sauce. Thin
with the water, or to desired consistency. Remove from
heat and set aside. This makes about three-fourths cup
sauce.

The sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for 1 week.

Place the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Toss the shrimp in
the cornstarch to completely coat (you may not use all of
the cornstarch), then set aside.

Add enough oil in a large saucepan to fill it by
two-thirds and heat it until a thermometer inserted reads
350ºF/175ºC. Fry the shrimp until the coating is crisp and
the shrimp are cooked through and pink, about 1 to 2
minutes. Drain the shrimp and discard the oil, or save it
for another use.

Heat a large wok or nonstick pan over high heat until hot.
Add the sauce (it should heat and bubble very quickly),
then quickly toss in the fried shrimp and nuts. Cook just
until coated and heated through, about 1 minute.
Immediately remove from heat.

Using a slotted spoon, divide the shrimp and walnuts
between 2 plates, and spoon over sauce to taste, if
desired. Garnish each serving with toasted sesame seeds
and orange slices. Serve immediately.

Title: Middle-School Tacos
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Chilies, Herbs, Breads
Yield: 6 servings

2 tb Neutral oil
1 md Yellow onion; peeled, diced
4 cl Garlic; peeled, minced
2 lb Ground beef
2 tb Chile powder
1 tb Ground cumin
2 ts (ea) kosher salt & black
Pepper
2 ts Cornstarch

12 (to 18) hard taco shells

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPINGS-------------------------------
Grated cheese
Sliced jalapenos
Chopped tomatoes
Shredded lettuce
Sour cream
Guacamole

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the
oil. When it begins to shimmer, add the onion, and cook
until softened and starting to brown, approximately 5 to
7 minutes.

Add the garlic, and cook for a minute or so to soften,
and then the ground beef. Cook until the beef is
starting to brown, stirring and chopping with a spoon to
break up the meat, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Pour
off excess fat, leaving only a tablespoon or two in the
pan.

Set oven @ 325oF/165oC.

Add the chile powder, cumin, salt, pepper, cornstarch,
paprika and red-pepper flakes, and stir to combine. Add
the broth, stir, bring to a simmer and cook uncovered

As sauce cooks, place taco shells on a sheet pan, and
toast in oven until they are crisp and smell nutty.
Serve a few tablespoons of meat in each taco, along with
whatever toppings you like.

True, but 5 years ago when everything was shut down tight and parents
wanted to have their children continue their learning, teaching thru
Zoom was really big. Some kids had no computers at home but a parent
might have a smart phone that the kid could use. Teachers quickly found
out that phone screens were not as good as PC screens so around here, a
lot of appeals were put out for used but still useable computers. We contributed the EEPCs (eeps's) and some others we had, after Steve
cleaned them up, put on some basic work programs, etc. Helped us (a bit
more room, soon to be replaced by radio equipment) and helped several
kids learn better.

I have three Asus EEE PCs that I have picked up over the years. Mostly
I use them as jukeboxes - playing music while I work on something.

We had a couple of them at one point; Dale suggested them when we
thought Steve was going to be deployed. It was something easy to use
and with both of us having one, if I developed a problem, he could
trouble shoot. Turned out, he never deployed so we eventually moved on.
In 2020, we donated them (and others) to the school system so students
who were trying to learn remotely on phones could have something
better.

Schools are finding that they need ban phones in the classrooms if
they want their pupils to learn.

True, but 5 years ago when everything was shut down tight and parents wanted to have their children continue their learning, teaching thru
Zoom was really big. Some kids had no computers at home but a parent
might have a smart phone that the kid could use. Teachers quickly found out that phone screens were not as good as PC screens so around here, a lot of appeals were put out for used but still useable computers. We contributed the EEPCs (eeps's) and some others we had, after Steve
cleaned them up, put on some basic work programs, etc. Helped us (a bit more room, soon to be replaced by radio equipment) and helped several
kids learn better.

My Asus all use Linux for the OS. If I'm doing Zoom I'd rather use my
Lenovo Think/Idea Pad w/the built-in camera and microphone.

It's also handy if I am hospitalised. Since I network my Meal Monster
with the desktop tower my recipe bases are pretty much up to date.

Hi Dave,

I can recommend "Typhoon" byJoseph Conrad for your reading pleasure.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3537012-typhoon

Have to check it out, thanks.

It was a good read for me. Never got tedious or made me want to jump ahead.

I'll see if I can get it for my Nook; we're running short of book shelf space.

It has ben "Epubbed" https://archive.org/details/typhoon_202103

Thanks, I need to get some new reading material on the Nook and Ken
Follette's new book isn't out yet.

I do get the listing but have never gotten anything thru them (yet). I'd probably not get cook books as I prefer hard copy for them. Just
unsubscribed from a web site of fig recipies when they tried (didn't
succeed because we don't do Windows) sending some malware instead of a
recipe.

About the time I got my Nook, both you and a local friend reccommended
this site. I've browsed, but just not pulled the trigger yet, on any
books.

I've used my tablet for Zoom. At the time, schools were scrounging
anything they could get so kids wouldn't have to rely on phones for
connecting with their classes.

It's also handy if I am hospitalised. Since I network my Meal Monster

I'm not saving nearly as much as I was when I first got on the echo. Noe
I look for something specific.
