FOOD FOR THOUGHT =================================================================

The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will
occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions
and moneyed incorporations.

-- Often falsely attributed to Thomas Jefferson

FTSC INFORMATION =================================================================

2016 standing member election final result.

The election for FTSC membership has come to an end. The one week
period for reporting inconsistencies and filing complaints has
expired. None were filed, so this is the final result.

Eighteen RCs from three zones have voted.


Kurt Weiske RC10
Joe Delahaye RC12
Michael Luko RC13
Jeff Smith RC14
Tj Barlow RC15
Andrew Leary RC16
Bob Seaborn RC17
Ross Cassell RC18
Bjorn Felten RC20
Torsten Bamberg RC24
Vince Coen RC25
Michiel van der Vlist RC28
Ruedi Kneubuehler RC30
Helmut Renner RC31
Yuri Rochsupkin RC46
Alex Barinov RC50
Paul Quinn RC54
Paul Hayton RC57



There were five candidates and the votes are as follows:

----------------------------------------------
| Name | Node nr | Yes| No |
|----------------------|-------------|----|----|
| | | | |
| Nicholas Boel | 1:154/10 | 16 | 1 |
| Andrew Leary | 1:320/119 | 16 | |
| mark lewis | 1:3634/12 | 16 | 1 |
| Richard Menedetter | 2:310/31 | 17 | |
| Carol Shenkenberger | 1:275/100 | 15 | 1 |
----------------------------------------------


All candidates collected more "yes" than "no" votes and therefore
all are accepted into the FTSC. Their term starts at Monday 19
December 2016 00:00 UTC. It ends two years later.

The FTSC welcomes the two new members: Nicholas Boel en Richard
Menedetter. New blood is good. I am sure they will make a valuable contribution.

We say goodbye to Fred Riccio, Ivan Agarkov and Stas Degteff. Fred and
Ivan did not wish to go for another term. Stas'priorities apparently
have shifted away from Fidonet. Thank you Fred, Ivan and Stas for your contribution.

FIDONET'S INTERNATIONAL KITCHEN =================================================================

Swedish meatballs
Originally posted in Fidonews 15 Dec 2003

This is a traditional Swedish recipe. It is served at the
sm-rgosbord and also at Christmas in Swedish homes (as one of many
dishes). It is however usually served with brown sauce, potatoes and lingonberry jam at lunch or dinner. Kids just love the meatballs with
pasta and ketchup, but generally have meatballs of all variations on
top of their list of favourite meals.

Ingredients (4 Servings):

200g ground beef
200g ground pork
1dl bread crumbs
2dl milk
1 small onion
1 egg
salt and pepper

Brown sauce:

4dl beef stock
3cl wheat-flour
3cl soy sauce

Mince the onion and fry until soft. Whip egg and milk with salt and
pepper. Mix with ground meat and onion. Don't mix too long, or the fat
will separate. Let it soak for 10 minutes. Mix with breadcrumbs and
let swell for another half to one hour.

Mix the stock and the soy sauce and put to a boil.

Form meat mixture into small balls with your hands. This is easiest
to do with wet hands. The size of the balls can vary a little, but a
small walnut is about the right size. It can be a little bit tricky to
get the balls round, but after a while you get the hang of it. Oh, by
the way, kids also love to help "making" meatballs (not just eating
them)!

A pro usually uses a tablespoon in one hand and forms the balls
scraping the mixture a couple of times in the palm of their, slightly
cupped, other hand. You could try and see if you're more comfortable
with that method -- one often ends up with eggshaped balls that way.

Heat one third of the butter in a heavy frying-pan (medium hot).
Fry the balls, one third at a time, for about 5 minutes. Turn them
around, quite often, to get them evenly fried. The balls should get
dark brown. After each round, sprinkle the pan with one third of the
flour and let it get some colour. Then whisk out the pan with one
third of of the stock and strain it into a container for later use.
Don't forget to put in more butter after each round.
When all the meatballs have been fried, put in the sauce from the
container and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Put in the
meatballs and let them get hot for another couple of minutes.

The meatballs are perfect to keep in the freezer, then you
obviously don't make the sauce.

Note 1:
The breadcrumbs were originally used to make the meat go further.
To avoid getting it all too dry, they first were soaked in milk, and
this is actually what most recipes still say. But today the reason for
the breadcrumbs are no longer economical, it's a matter of texture.

So to get the most out of it, the eggmilk mixture should first be
mixed with the meat, so that all the juices from the meat can be
dissolved by the milk, and *then* the breadcrumbs are added. That way
they take up all the flavours and don't just taste like breadcrumbs
soaked in milk.

Note 2:
If you have an electric, thermostat controlled fryer, it is much
more easy to get perfectly shaped balls, since the surface of the
balls contracts evenly, thereby shaping them. Put the fryer on 190oC
and fry one third at a time for abt. five minutes. Put them on a piece
of paper to dry out the excess oil. This is the preferred method if
you don't want to make the brown sauce to go with the meatballs.

Remarks:

OO Outgoing only (Node can not accept incoming IPv6 calls)
INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls)
PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
but is configured to try IPv4 first)
6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
capability but is not yet listed in the Fidonet nodelist.


Notes:

To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
node config). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
(2002::/16) Windows defaults to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.
