    Hey! I like my clickety clack mechanical keyboard. When the last of my Keytronics (original supplier of KBDs to IBM) died...

    There's still Unicomp:

    https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/UNI0446

    Smites forehead with palm. Drat! I forgot all about them. Cherry made the keyboards for my beloved Amigas - so I was familiar with their quality.

    What makes this "Radio". I parsed the whole thing and I didn't see anything radio except the title.

    Thanks for asking. It gave me a pleasant diversion. Here's what i learned:

    Aunt Sammy hosted Housekeepers' Chat, a beloved American radio show
    from the 1920s and '30s.

    For all her popularity, Aunt Sammy wasn't a real person. She was a
    fictional character (Uncle Sam's wife, in fact), created by the
    Bureau of Home Economics for the radio show.

    ... the most popular segment of the show was her recipes. Aunt Sammy
    could be counted on for foolproof, "moderate" cost recipes that the
    average home cook could make with a minimum of hassle.

    Title: Turkey Meatloaf TV Dinner
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Potatoes, Herbs
    Yield: 4 Dinners

    MMMMM--------------------------MEATLOAF-------------------------------
    Cooking spray
    1 1/4 lb Ground turkey
    1 sm Onion; grated
    1/3 c Breadcrumbs
    1 Rib celery; fine chopped
    1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
    1/2 c Ketchup
    1 tb Chopped fresh parsley
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    2 ts Soy sauce
    1 ts Worcestershire sauce

    MMMMM---------------------------SIDES--------------------------------
    1 1/2 lb Russet potatoes; peeled,
    - quartered
    Salt
    3 tb Butter; romm temp
    1/2 c Milk; hot
    Fresh ground pepper
    12 oz Bag frozen peas
    4 Compartmented trays *

    MAKE THE MEATLOAF: Set the oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

    Coat a 9" X 5" loaf pan with cooking spray. Put the
    turkey, onion, breadcrumbs, celery, egg, 2 tablespoons
    ketchup, the parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to
    taste in a bowl. Mix with your hands until just
    combined, then transfer to the prepared pan.

    Combine the remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons ketchup
    with the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a small
    bowl; spread 2 tablespoons of the ketchup mixture over
    the meatloaf. Bake until the top begins to brown, about
    30 minutes, then spread the remaining ketchup mixture
    over the meatloaf and continue baking until browned.
    Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

    Meanwhile, make the mashed potatoes. Put the potatoes in
    a large saucepan and cover with cold water; season with
    salt. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat
    until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, then return to
    the saucepan and mash with the butter. Add the milk and
    season with salt and pepper; continue mashing until
    fluffy.

    Put the peas in a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle with
    water and season with salt and pepper. Cover and
    microwave until warmed through, about 4 minutes.

    Serve the meatloaf with the peas and mashed potatoes.

    Title: Praline French Toast - Super B'fast- Radio
    Categories: Breads, Breakfast, Main course
    Yield: 4 Servings

    8 Eggs OR egg beaters to equal
    1 1/2 c Half and half OR skim milk
    3/4 c Plus 1 Tbs. brown sugar
    2 ts Vanilla
    8 sl French bread; 3/4" thick to
    -cover bottom
    1/2 c Margarine
    1/2 c Pancake syrup; maple
    -recommended
    3/4 c Chopped pecans

    Blend eggs, Half 'n Half, 1 T. brown sugar and the vanilla. Pour half
    of the mixgture into 9x13" pan. Put the bread slices on top to cover
    the bottom of pan. Spread rest of the mixture over the bread and
    cover and refrigerate overnight to soak up well. In another 9x13"
    glass or Corningware pan (either at the same time or the next
    morning) melt the margarine, 3/4 c. of brown sugar, syrup and the
    nuts. Cover with foil if overnight or use fresh if in the AM. Place
    the soaked bread on top of nut muxture and bake at 350'F. for 30-35
    minutes until puffed and browned. Is fantastic! You will only eat 2
    pieces each. DON"T overcook or will carmelize the bottom and be hard
    to get out of pan. Use glass or Corningware as metal pans carmalize
    too quickly. Can brown slightly under broiler if you want to, but not
    necessary.

    Hey! I like my clickety clack mechanical keyboard. When the last of my Keytronics (original supplier of KBDs to IBM) died I went out and found that the only mechanicals to ber had are "gaming" versions with backlit keys (good feature) and rotating colour effects (not so good feature).
    I bought a Cherry MX2 which has a great feel and the driver lets me
    pick a stable backlight colour. Plus I can return the PS2 to USB
    adapter to the "possibles" box.

    Model M keyboards are still being made by a company that bought IBM's entire keyboard manufacturing setup. Around $120.

    Earlier in the conversation you mentioned being an aviation electronics technician in the Navy and building your own amplifiers. I knew an OLD engineer who built amplifiers for fun, and he was strongly opinionated
    on the subject of analog versus digital. Do you still do any electical tinkering?

    I haven't used a soldering iron for ages. I have had some fun with
    home repair. The bathroom fan failed and the original manufacturer no
    longer makes that model. However, they make a newer model that uses
    the exact same electrical connector, but with a slight difference in
    the metal housing so it sticks out too far to fit in the old
    receptical. I verified that the electrical parts were compatible.
    Then i took a hack-saw to the housing, cut away some of the extra
    material, and also cut a flap and bent it out to create a tab to
    fasten it to a screw hole in the receiptical. When i put it all
    together, it worked perfectly.

    My grandpa's GE J105 radio is in the attic. The innards look dirt
    simple. It has a plain 110 V 2 prong electrical plug. Some day i might
    like to give it some TLC and power it on. During COVID-19 churches were
    buying low power FM radio transmitters to offer drive-in service.
    Consequently you can get them for $100 or so on Scamazon. Fun, right?

    Mine was a Timex/Sinclair 1000 with a 4K RAM pack. Still have it!

    I've actually used a Timex Sinclair 1000. In the 1990's i could often
    find them at yard sales for $10. They seem to have dried up by now.
    I saw another z80 computer at a local yard sale a year or two ago, but
    it was obviously not in working condition.

    Ever hook yours up to a cassette tape "drive"? I read it does tape I/O
    at 250 baud. In theory one could use SDCC to target zx81 and use
    tzxtools to write the resulting executable to tape.

    Just very minor repairs on older stuff. I don't have the tools nor the
    eyesight to deal with "wave soldered, surface mount components. That's why
    my last Amiga went in the bin. i smoked the cia chip and discovered it

    I always figured a recipe would ontopicise any wandering of discussion except religion or politics - both of which I try to stay away from.

    I don't mind religion if it is tied to the food at hand, such as the "three kings cake" discussion. The rules do state no religious or political discussion, but with the few participants we have, I think I may modify the rules to be more leinient (sp). I did receive a complaint about that discussion but that person has chosen not to participate in the echo
    anymore.

    What makes it "New Year"? And is that Round Eyes new year? Or Chinese

    But I don't want to read about US politics or US religions. If I'm the
    only one who feels this way then I will happily go back to not reading or posting in the echo.

    I took these posts to mean that posting about "hot cross buns" or other
    sorts of food related to religious holidays was ok while contrasting the religion they originate from, vs. others, is not.

    I am not sure about political cooking but there could be some traditional
    foods specific to inauguration day, the White House, or particular
    politicians that I am not familiar with (well, aside from associating
    things with cherries with George Washington).

    I don't think anyone wants to start discussing political or religious
    doctrine here, but maybe I misunderstood.

    Categories: Poultry, Swabia, Germany
    Yield: 4 Servings

    From the Ries area.
    1 md Young goose
    1/2 ea Delicious apple, sliced,
    -cored, and cut into pieces

    MMMMM-----------------------SEASONING MIX----------------------------
    2 T Salt
    1 t (level) pepper
    1 t Marjoram
    1 t (level) mugwort
    (and nowadays also some
    -'Fondor'*)

    Clean the goose and remove any remaining feather shafts. Season,
    inside and outside, with the seasoning mix. Put the bird,
    breast-side down, into a very large roaster, along with any loose fat
    as well as the stomach, heart, and chopped up wings. Put the apple
    inside the goose. Add water to a depth of 1/5 of an inch. Roast at
    475 degrees F to start out with, and then at 390 degrees F,
    frequently turning and basting with pan juices, until brown and
    crispy. Skim the fat off the pan juices, and thicken the gravy.
    Remove the goose from the roaster, and adjust seasoning with more of
    the above seasoning mix. Put on a broiler pan, and briefly broil at
    570 degrees F so the skin gets extra crisp. Serve with potato
    dumplings and 'Blaukraut' (red cabbage). Serves 4. From:

    It's a learning experience. But I'm glad to hear you're getting the
    china clippers. They're a game changer.

    I'm genuinely excited. No more TMJ pain from overextending my jaws to be
    able to gum food properly. I realize that they're not without issues but anything has to be better than what I have now.

    Won't catch me on a goof course. When I wore a younger man's clothes
    some of my coffee buddies kept after me to come golfing with them. So,
    I went, rented clubs and did 9 holes in 44 strokes. The next time I got around in 40. So one of them said let's play 18. Went to the public 18 hole course and I got around in a 3 over par 75. They quit asking me to
    go wirth them.

    I actually enjoy golf but I don't take it seriously. I'm terrible at golf
    like I am horrible at playing pool but I still enjoy both games.

    WOW! Someone is an eager-eater.

    I didn't even notice that. Sounds like me... XD

    I didn't realise that there was a proper way to gum foods. I do know
    that if I forget to put my teeth in before leaving the house to go get breakfast that I'll be having sausage patties rather than crispy bacon.

    Usually I catch it before I'm too far down the street to turn around
    and go back for the George Washingtons.

    I'm decent at both. But pool I enjoy. Especially three cushion billards.

    When I was a young dude I caddied at a local country club. That was a
    real eye-opener. In more ways than one.

    Do potatoes belong in chili?

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Not in red chilli. Several things "wrong" with this formula. Ditch the
    turkey in favour of beef. Loose the spuds. Switch the veggie oil for
    beef suet. And trade the kidley beenz in on some pinto beans, undrained.
    or brooks chili brans. and stick all that low-fat stuff where the sun
    don't ever shine. And just as a personal preference I'd swap the stewed
    maters for diced - probably w/green chilies.

    If you're gonna do taters in chilli make green chile (Chile Verde)

    Title: Mark Hurt's Chile Verde
    Categories: Pork, Poultry, Chilies, Vegetables
    Yield: 8 Servings

    1 1/2 lb Boneless pork (or chicken);
    - diced to 1/4" cubes
    2 c Chicken broth
    1 c Green chile sauce (Herdez)
    2 c Tomatillos; husked, coarse
    - chopped
    2 lg Roasted green chilies; seed,
    - dice (Anaheim or Poblano)
    4 cl Garlic; peeled, diced
    1 md Onion; diced
    1 lg Russet potato; peeled, diced
    1/4 ts Black pepper
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Cumin
    1/2 ts Sugar *
    3 tb Fat
    2 c Drinking water

    A warm, hearty stew that will leave you full and
    satisfied. If fresh roasted chiles aren't available,
    you can use canned.

    * Omit the sugar for a lower-carb version.

    Brown the chicken or pork in a small amount of lard
    or oil, over high heat.

    Place the browned chicken or pork, chile sauce and
    tomatillos into a crock pot set on low, or a large,
    covered pot over low heat. Simmer for 2 hours. Add
    remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 2
    hours. Check very 30 minutes, add water as necessary.

    Serve hot.
