Hi Dave,


 RH> I'll see if I can get it for my Nook; we're running short of book shelf
 RH> space.

 DD> It has ben "Epubbed" https://archive.org/details/typhoon_202103

 RH> Thanks, I need to get some new reading material on the Nook and Ken
 RH> Follette's new book isn't out yet.

 DD> Do you subscribe to Book Bub's e-mail? They offer free and

 RH> I do get the listing but have never gotten anything thru them (yet).
 RH> I'd probably not get cook books as I prefer hard copy for them. Just
 RH> unsubscribed from a web site of fig recipies when they tried (didn't
 RH> succeed because we don't do Windows) sending some malware instead of a
 RH> recipe.

 DD> Did they do it? Or were they hacked? I don't suppose it makes much
 DD> difference as long at you dodged the bullet.

I'm not sure but I've got enough fig recipies to try for the rest of
this fig crop. Tomorrow I'll probably make tha fig/honey upside down
cake I got after Steve got things to working right. I'll use up most of
the rest of them in fig syrup.

 DD> https://www.bookbub.com/

 RH> About the time I got my Nook, both you and a local friend reccommended
 RH> this site. I've browsed, but just not pulled the trigger yet, on any
 RH> books.

 DD> Iget their daily emails of listings in the categories I have selected
 DD> - the link sends me to Amazon if I pull the trigger. I seldom go for a
 DD> cookbook since I subscribe to NYT Cooking, Taste of Home, Simply
 DD> Recipes, Saveur, and Stephanie Manley's CopyKat.com list.

 DD> If you take one of their selections you'll be whisked to B&N's website
 DD> I suppose.

Probably so. Today, while waiting for a doctor's appointment, I started
a book I'd downloaded before our big spring trip but never got around to
reading. It's another Philippa Gregory one, this time about Margaret
Pole, cousin to Henry VII.

 DD>      8<----- XXXXX ----->8


 DD> It's also handy if I am hospitalised. Since I network my Meal Monster
 DD> with the desktop tower my recipe bases are pretty much up to date.

 RH> I'm not saving nearly as much as I was when I first got on the echo.
 RH> Noe I look for something specific.

 DD> My "Echomail" database in MealMaster is over 23K recipes - all I have
 DD> either downloaded or uploaded from/to the echo over the years. My
 DD> Taste of Home base is approaching 6K and the NYT base is over 4K.

I don't have nearly that many, and never will, because I only grab ones
that I'm pretty sure I'll make, sooner or later. The past couple of
years I've pulled out some I've had for a while and made them up,
wondered why I didn't try them earlier as they're now keepers.

 DD> Here's a copykat from a joint you like ...

 DD>       Title: Copycat Chick Fil A Sauce
 DD>  Categories: Sauces, Condiments
 DD>       Yield: 6 servings

Actually, I like my CFA fairly plain. If I'm getting a sandwich, I'll
just get a packet of mayo for it; if I'm getting strips, I'll ask for a
side of pickles and also get some mayo. Basic but good; I'm not big into
ketchup or bbq sauce.
