The acidity of the tartar sauce is just right
for fried squid.

> Do you even put Tobasco on french fries?


I prefer to dip those in tomato sauce. I was
thinking more along the lines of other breaded
and fried meats. The acidity of Tobasco is good
for cutting through the greasiness. Mustard
also has acid in it, so it has much the same
effect. Many fish and chips shops offer malt
vinegar, though I can't remember the last time
I saw a fish and chips shop. I think it was
about 30 years ago.

It was one of these, which used to be common
around here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._Salt_Esquire

The chain still exists, but it's much smaller.
I guess that's because people are eating less
fried food. I don't think it could be a decline
in people eating fish, because fish has an
increasing reputation as a heart-healthy food.

Nope, nb, this is apparently a "Good Martha" as opposed to Black Metal
Martha Hughes who was a "Bad Martha"...

On the tiny chance that this Martha is the "Old Martha" aka Hughes then she
must have had MASSIVE anger management therapy...

This Martha is nice and unlike the Old Martha has not insulted anyone yet by
telling them that they are "stupid" because they don't adore Death Metal...

I am Martha McLemore, from a small town in south-central Pennsylvania,
US. Hanover, Pennsylvania, to be precise.

You can do a search of my posts, if you like. I used to post under
old email names of and ;
the latter one is still valid, just don't use it here right now.

Some members of my immediate family might say that I need anger
management, and I have been known to lose my composure with some of
the less-than-friendly folks who have posted here in the past, when I
was still active. However, I try (not always successful) to remain
polite and dignified in my responses here. I know how difficult it is
to judge the intent of postings since we only see what's on our
monitor screens. I try to presume the best intentions of others. It
would be good if they could do the same in my direction, but I neither
expect it nor require it in order to converse with them.

I'm certainly no angel. However, neither am I this "other" Martha to
whom you refer. As for music, my taste runs from jazz to opera to
swing to some country. As far as I know, I've had no experience with
Death Metal. I was a teenager and young adult during the 60s and 70s;
those are my primary music period influences.

I hope this clears up any lingering doubts about who I am. Short of
sending my dental records or fingerprints to anyone, this is the best
I can do.

I had no problems with Martha Hughes. I think some people thought she
was a little dingy, but I always found her to be kind and generous. One
poster here, who is 100 times more obnoxious, came down on her pretty
hard. I have a suspicion why, but don't know for sure.

Name "names", Dan, or are you referring to moi?

Mothra Hughes was a severly obnoxious presence on *every* group she was on
(I first encountered her on alt.radio.talk.dr-laura) and she ended up being
run off of *every* group on which she was a regular and eventually off of
Usenet altogether...

You might remember her online "affair" here with the poster Michael Nielson
aka "Archon", that was one of the more cringable "Mothra Moments", there
were loads more. She was under the apparent delusion that Usenet groups
were the equivalent of a teen - age "secret diary" where all would gawp in
envious awe at the most intimate and mundane doings in her private life. Of
course, being extremely stupid, she was too clueless to grok that few were
impressed...

She was a top - class fvcked - up mess and that being said, I miss kicking
her around...

Maybe because DSL is faster than cable in some parts - like here in

Whatever you want, of course! Lot's of people I've known cherish
weekdays off, because all the businesses, government offices and banks
are open, and don't be fooled with some of the ones that are open on
weekends, because they can't do diddly sometimes, because Mr. "X" is the
only one who can sign, and he only works weekdays.

One applesauce cake recipe is a fruitcake; a second has marshmallows in
it. Let's just say that some of the recipes haven't aged well (the
copyright date is 1972). However, this one looks like a keeper.

First Prize Applesauce Cake
(from Farm Journal's Country Cookbook)
4 c. flour
4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. each nutmeg and cloves
2 tbsp. cocoa
1 c. oil
2 c. sugar
3 c. unsweetened applesauce, heated
1/2 c. each raisins and chopped walnuts
Caramel Frosting (below)

Stir together dry ingredients. In a separate mixing bowl combine oil
and sugar; beat until well blended. Stir in hot applesauce, blending
thoroughly. Add dry ingredients, blending well. Stir in walnuts and
raisins. Pour batter into 2 well-greased 9" square baking pans. Bake
at 400 15 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 375 and bake about 15
minutes longer. Let stand in pans 5 minutes; then remove from pans and
cool completely on racks. Fill and frost with Caramel Frosting.

Caramel Frosting
Melt 1/2 c. butter in saucepan over low heat. Stir in 1 c. dark brown
sugar, firmly packed, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Bring to boil; boil hard 2
minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 c. milk.
Return pan to heat and bring to full boil. Remove from heat and cool to
lukewarm. Stir in 2 c. confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. If
frosting is too thick, beat in a little milk.

That's the one I recall, Greg LOL I won't be drawn into heavy metal music
and looking for jail-bate debates again. I don't know who this particular
Martha is. Even if it is the old Martha, she's got to be in her 60's by now
so it's time to calm down and forget about 20-somethings named Archon and
forget about *goth* everything. Paully Perette of NCIS fame, she's not.

Agreed, Dan. I never had any probs w/ MarthH. Talked to her on phone a
couple times and she seemed like a nice person. I musta missed the conflict
with whomever.

That's 'Snyder's of Hanover.'

We're the "One N" town, but our town was named after Hannover, in
Germany. Synder's makes some of the best pretzel products in the
world .

Early settler's to this part of York county came mostly from that
region of Germany, mostly farmers, but blacksmiths, ironworkers,
tanners, too.

Nice little town.

Thank you, Cindy. I'll try to remember how my mom made the glaze. If
I can reproduce it, I'll post that here. This recipe 'reads' like it
might be the one she used...pretty darned close, it not exact.

I'm with you. I've never used DSL that was nearly as quick as any cable
connection.

My ISP (sonic.net) plans to start offering up to 18Mbps download for
DSL. They did the install for their first residential customer a couple
of weeks ago. Limit is one mile, though. Since SF (San Francisco) has
nine central offices, they can cover almost the whole city.
Coincidentally, sf lives in SF (that's a joke). They will be offering
telephone and tv also:

Yumm, dinasour steaks! We're all for trying new things.

At this point we are thinking about a road trip south to Wangi Wangi
where we have been invited to spend Christmas with friends. We'll let
you know as plans progress but a stop in Brisbane sounds good.

Even less when you consider I've taken 2 or 3 2-3 year breaks from
RFC itself.

I don't recall her meltdown, and certainly wouldn't hold it against
her based on Greg's opinion alone (any enemy of Gregory is a friend
of mine), but I've heard from a couple of well-respected posters
that she was whacked out.

I know why. She had a vagina and Gregory didn't (and still
doesn't).

Barb! It's you! (running across Internet to give a great big hug to
you!)

I am so glad to read your post! How are you? What's cooking
(literally and figuratively) up your way?

Martha
OBFood: The temperature has dropped enough here that it's time to
break out the lapsang souchong, turn the furnace up a bit and listen
to some Coltrane for an hour or two.
