    Still, it beats no oven. Have you considered a toaster" oven?

    Yes, and someone offered to give one to me. It would just be a matter
    of making space for it.

    That's my problem. With my tiny kitchen and lack of counter space I have
    to store the toaster-oven on a rack in the dining room and set it up when
    it is to be used. P.I.T.A.

    Somebody messed about with this recipe. Randy only ever posted Meal
    Master
    formatted recipe. And his trademark quantity was *ALWAYS^ 3 servings. 'TwAS almost a joke.

    Interesting... i found that recipe in MC format on recipesource.com. Here's my conversion to Meal Master format, complete with 3 servings.

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

    Title: Fudge Oatmeal (No Bake) Cookies
    Categories: Cookies
    Yield: 3 Servings

    There was a lot of "backing and forthinig" back in the early days of the
    echo (mid 1980s) and both Meal Master and Master Cook had their "champions".
    I bought a copy of Master Cook and registered my download of Meal master
    so I was covere3d either road.

    I have noticed that recipe source has a lot of MC formatted recipes. Some
    of tohse were originally issued as Meal master - to each his own,said the
    old woman as she kissed the cow. Bv)=

    Heck Ieven registered a copy of Accu Chef (windoze ready - not DOS).

    Here's a Randy with mmore than 3 servings

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

    Title: Elephant Stew
    Categories: Five, Meat
    Yield: 3800 Servings

    1 Elephant
    Salt & pepper
    2 Rabbits

    Cut elephant into small bite size pieces, this should
    take about 2 months.

    Add enough brown gravy to cover, about half a train
    tank car.

    Cook over kerosene heat for about 4 weeks at 450ºF/234ºC.

    This recipe should serve 3,800 people.

    If more are expected, add 2 extra rabbits, do so only
    if necessary as most people do not like hare in their
    stew.
