   The plaid guys got a fresh edition evey year. Dunno if it's still being    
   published or not. For actual printed stuff I still have my "Tsatr of   
   Gloucester" cookbook  that I picked up om a visit to Cape Ann. I've not   
   finished pounding the lasy of the recipes into the Meal Muncher. And I   
   have a few recipe cards that I've brought home from various grocery    
   shopping trips. But, that are mostly available on-line new.   
      
   Even good ol' stuck-in-the-50s Humphrey's Market.

         Title: Caramelized Onion, Bacon, & Blue Cheese Smothered Ribeye   
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Cheese, Pork, Citrus   
         Yield: 2 Servings   
       
        16 oz Ribeye steak   
         1 c  Crumbled blue cheese   
         1 md Onion; diced   
       1/4 lb Thick sliced bacon; rough   
              - chopped   
         1 tb Worcestershire sauce   
         2 tb Orange juice   
       
     Caramelize bacon and onion in a pot.   
        
     Mix blue cheese, Worcestershire, and orange juice in a   
     separate bowl.   
        
     Sear ribeye on both sides to create a crust.   
        
     Top the steak with the blue cheese, bacon, and onion   
     mixture.   
        
     Roast in the oven for 15 minutes (medium rare).   
        
     UDD NOTES: This is a horrid way to treat an honest rib-   
     eye steak. I used, instead chuck steak (not chuck-eye,   
     which is nearly as good as rib-eye) or sirloin.
