I'm all for having 2 sexes. But you misunderstand if you think there
isn't a masculine writing style. I enjoy reading books written by either
male or females...but there are differences in wording and the way
concepts are expressed between sexes. Hence my belief there is a
masculine writting style. Not that any woman couldn't write in that
style if she wanted to.

It's like those magazines have a writing style and formula to meet their
needs and media niche. And no matter which sex you are you must conform
to their writting style to be published my them.

Alan's Hamburger Potato Casserole

none

1 pound lean ground beef
3 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes
8 oz mushrooms (1 can)
1/2 large green bell pepper chopped.
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup; 10.75 oz
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cream.; optional
salt to taste
freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup Velveeta cheese; to taste
1/2 cup parmesan cheese; to taste

Directions 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2 In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef; drain
fat. In my case do everything in a dutch oven. (drain it well). Reserve
meat on a paper toweled plate.

3 In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, onion, milk,
salt and pepper to taste. plus 1/2 cup parm cheese.

4 Alternately layer the potatoes,mushrooms, green peppers,velveeta, soup
mixture and meat in a 11x7 inch (2 quart) baking dish. Bake in the
preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until potatoes are tender. Top
with Cheddar cheese, and continue baking until cheese is melted.

Note: noodles can replace the potatoes I'm adding velveeta into the
layers too.
