   Hi Ruth!   
      
   RH> It's all Greek to me. (G) Probably I could throw out a bunch of sewing   
   RH> terms and you would be just as confused.   
      
   That could be fun.  :)  I actually know how to sew, though i haven't used   
   a sewing machine in decades.  I mainly sew by hand to repair clothes and   
   use them way past their expiration date.   
      
      
   It turned out the program i tackled used a different assembler.  Not   
   Borland TASM but Eric Isaacson's A86 assembler.  I translated the code   
   and ran into a bug in Watcom's WASM assembler version 1.9, the one   
   that ships with FreeDOS.  It happens to be fixed in the latest version   
   of WASM.  It's about as much fun as sewing up holes in socks, but then   
   i get to use those socks for a few more years.   
      
      
   RH> Yes, haven't heard from the latter in years. Dale Shipp passed away last   
   RH> year; he and Gail isssued us a standing invitation for whenever we drove   
   RH> up north or came back down that we were welcome to stay with them. We had   
   RH> a number of good visits over the years before they moved into the assisted   
   RH> living place.   
      
   I think i saw some of Dale Shipp's last messages.  If i remember correctly,   
   he gave me a bean salad recipe, and said his son used while in the military   
   overseas.  I think it's cool how the Fidonet picnic'ers remained long-term   
   and long-distance friends.   
      
   RH> Steve will sometimes use   
   RH> syrup, sometimes gravy, sometimes pb&j or other toppings, depending on   
   RH> what he sees in the fridge.   
      
   Over this recent stint house sitting i made quite a few pancakes.  My   
   favorite was when i crushed home grown walnuts into the batter and topped   
   them with honey.  I also used a mixture of home grown plum & apple sauce   
   as a topping.  Sweet and tart.   
      
   Have you ever tried Korean vegetable pancakes?  They are savory instead   
   of sweet and i recommend them.

         Title: Korean Vegetable Pancakes   
    Categories: Asian, Korean   
         Yield: 4 Pancakes   
      
   MMMMM-----------------------PANCAKE BATTER----------------------------   
         2 c  All-purpose flour   
     1 2/3 c  Water; ice cold   
         1    Egg; beaten   
         1 ts Salt   
     1 1/2 tb Vegetable oil;   
              - for pan frying,   
              - per pancake   
         2 md Potatoes;   
              - peeled & julienned   
         1    Carrot; grated or   
              - peeled & julienned   
         1    Green pepper   
              - cut into thin slices   
         1    Red pepper;   
              - cut into thin slices   
         1 bn Scallions; sliced   
      
   MMMMM-----------------------DIPPING SAUCE----------------------------   
         2 tb Soy sauce   
         1 tb Water   
         1 ts Sugar   
       1/2 ts Rice or white vinegar   
       1/4 ts Sesame oil   
         1 pn Roasted sesame seeds   
         1 pn Scallion; chopped   
         1 pn Crushed red pepper   
              - (optional)   
      
     Pancake batter:   
      
     In a medium bowl, mix flour, egg, salt, and 1-1/2 cups water until   
     a smooth batter is formed. If batter is still thick, add a little   
     more water. You want it to be the consistency of pancake batter.   
     Stir in the potatoes, carrots, peppers, and scallions. Place an 8"   
     nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Let it heat for 15 to   
     20 seconds, and then coat bottom with vegetable oil. Ladle in about   
     1/4th of the batter and spread it out evenly into a circle. Cook   
     for 5 minutes until edges start browning. Then flip and cook for   
     another 3 to 5 minutes. When completed, transfer the pancake on   
     a plate lined with a paper towel to drain oil (if necessary) and   
     then place on serving plate. Repeat steps 1 to 3 with remaining   
     batter.   
      
     When pancakes are all finished, cut into wedges and serve with   
     dipping sauce.   
      
     Dipping sauce:   
      
     In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, water, vinegar, sugar,   
     and sesame oil. Sprinkle in sesame seeds, chopped scallion, and if   
     desired, pinch of red pepper.   
      
     I use this sauce for pajeon and dumplings.
