Weekend edition. I was interviewed about how to use leftovers from
Thanksgiving.

Note: the link is only good for 7 days for non-WSJ subscribers.

Only got one thing wrong and it's my fault; I didn't catch it when she read
the article to me via phone last Wednesday. The toasted baguette is served
with butter and olive oil with black pepper and a little oregano for
dipping, not balsamic vinegar.

Congratulations Jill. Don't blame yourself for the reporter's errors. I have been interviewed
many times over the years, and when I read the article I wondered who the hell they had been
talking too. Reporters are more interested in catching the reader's eye than they are in
accuracy.
Sounds like a great dinner. The baguette sounds good. Much better than with balsamic vinegar :-)

That's so cool.

Question: Do you melt the butter and mix it in with the olive oil, black
pepper and oregano?

How exciting! Is that John for whom you cooked, or is it another
friend? I hope that you had a wonderful holiday. I will ask my
sister to send me her paper, if she still has it.

Hugs, M

(laughing) It was a crap shoot. The reporter found an OLD recipe of mine
for turkey soup and emailed me. After I ascertained she was actually a
reporter for the WSJ I called her. I explained my Turkey Cottage Pie is
much more tasty than turkey soup. It uses leftover mashed potatoes, gravy
and of course, turkey. And my squash casserole can be made with leftover
cornbread (or any) dressing. So there ya go

Pretty cool Jill. I'm making your Turkey Cottage Pie tomorrow. First time
I'll be making it. I'll keep you posted unless I mess it up

I've posted this before but here's the original recipe.

2 c. sliced yellow (crookneck) squash
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 c. cornbread stuffing crumbs
1 c. milk
1 small minced onion
1 Tbs. butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Combine all ingredients. Place in a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake at
350F for 1 hour until set. *If using leftover prepared cornbread dressing,
reduce the amount of milk as needed. You want the mixture to be moist, not
mushy.

I usually lightly steam the squash first, too, to get some of the excess
water out of it prior to baking.

Heehee...Ida seems kinda jealous and bitter of your good fortune, Jill -- I

John is having surgery for diverticulitis on Wednesday so wanted him to have
a good meal.

I tried to email you a new picture of Persia but the mail bounced back.
Please send me an email so I can make sure I've got your current email
address. Thanks!

Hugs back,
Jill

Apparently a random search by the reporter found an OLD recipe of mine for
using leftover turkey (and the carcass, I would imagine) to make soup. I
haven't made turkey soup in at least 10 years so I don't know what recipe
the reporter found. She emailed me about an interview using leftovers, then
arranged a phone interview.

She didn't get this quite right as I'd never use balsamic vinegar to dip a
toasted piece of baguette in; that was for sprinkling on the warm spinach
salad. And she forgot to mention the "entree" is a cottage pie using
leftover turkey and leftover mashed potatoes for the topping. I didn't
quite understand that since she specifically asked if she could call it a
shepherd's pie. But other than that, I was presented in very good company

It's a joke among those of us in the "clique" (heheh). A few years ago I
went to my brother's house for T-Day. I took cornbread dressing. He
informed me later my dressing sucks and that my mom thinks so, too! I
mentioned this to my mother who exclaimed, "I never said that! Jill, I've
never even *tasted* your cornbread dressing!" He was being very ****y that
day, trying to start arguments with everyone. It got so bad I left
immediately after dinner.

Note: It's just standard cornbread dressing. To course cornbread course
crumbs (like Pepperidge Farm if you don't make your own) add melted butter,
warm chicken broth, diced onion & celery. Mix until moist and bake in a
bread pan. IIRC I added some cooked wild rice that year.

Tony, I tried to email you privately but of course your address is munged.

In the years since you installed the old POS (or was it POS Plus?) their
relationship with RealWorld Software fell apart; subsequent to that
RealWorld itself fell apart. LOL Synchronics has since developed another
point-of-sale product called CounterPoint. When I was on a trip in
Minneapolis I saw it running on the PC's at the check-out of Surdyk's, a
large wine & cheese shop.

Yep, I know about CounterPoint and even the aborted InTouch product too.
we were selling version 7 at the time I left the resellers employ.

As to RealWorld - I remember when Great Plains sucked it up, and then
finally Microsoft absorbed it.
