Hi Dale,

 RH> For a time, seemed to have started in the 90s (IIRC, "Windows for
 RH> Dummies" was one of the first ones out) there were a number of books
 RH> on the market along the theme of "XYZ for Dummies". They covered quite
 RH> a range of topics.I never bought any because none of the subjects
 RH> covered were of interest to me but they did cover quite a wide spectrum
 RH> of topics. As I remember, most of them had a yellow cover meant to look
 RH> sort of like a legal pad.

 DS> They do tend to be a certain style in appearance and in writing.  I
 DS> have bought more than one of them.  In fact, I can look at the book
 DS> case
 DS> behind my monitor and see "Windows 7 for Dummies".  It came with a
 DS> searchable DVD, which is still shrink wrapped next to the book,
 DS> neither of which have been opened.  OTOH, I have several other Win7

Buy it and change your mind about using it? I know Steve bought one of
those books but don't remember which one.

 DS> books which I did make good use of.  I can see a number of pages that
 DS> have slips of paper tagging some pages.

I do the slips of papeer in cook books and quilting books. So many
quilts I'd like to make but I know I'll never get them all made in this
life time.


 RH> I'd rather pit them, but, that's my choice.

 RH> I can tolerate a certain level of pain but I don't want to crunch down
 RH> on a cherry pit and break a tooth. Spending time at the dentist is not
 RH> one of my favorite things.

 DS> Gail will certainly agree with you there.  Over the years she has
 DS> broken several teeth.  It is uncertain whether it was because of
 DS> crunching on
 DS> something unexpectingly hard (nut shell, peach pit hunk, etc.) or just
 DS> because a filling finally decided to crack.

I've not broken any teeth but don't want to take any chances. I know
I've bitten down on various hard things, but not hard enough to do
damage. Not a fun sensation.


 DS> This has a nice low carb count.  But I do wonder at why use ground
 DS> beef in a tofu recipe.  I tend to think of tofu as being an ingredient

Your guess is as good as mine. Somebody trying to make it with whatever
was on hand?


 DS> used
 DS> primarily in vegetarian recipes (but even the chicken broth negates
 DS> that thought).

A veggie broth would be used but it would have a different flavor
profile. I'd think tho, with ground beef, a beef broth would be the one
to use instead of chicken.


 DS> Personally, I'd just go with an increased amount of ground beef.

Or all tofu. I'm not sure what the carb count on tofu is, haven't bought
any in years.
