    Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while in here.

    Yeah, My BBS machine died a couple of years ago, finally back up and running and working on getting my fido address restored so I can start pulling this echo into my own system.

    BTW: Does anyone know if there a good recipe database program for Linux that is MM compatible?

    Hi Dallas,

    BTW: Does anyone know if there a good recipe database program for Linux that is MM compatible?

    AnyMeal is MM compatible and runs on Linux with minimal dependencies.

    https://wedesoft.github.io/anymeal/

    Note that version 1.32 is the last version to support Qt5.
    Later versions require Qt6.

    Title: Garlic Roasted Asparagus
    Categories: Appetizer, Vegetables
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 lb Asparagus (450 g)
    1 tb Coconut oil or any oil
    - (14 g); melted
    Sea salt; freshly cracked
    Black pepper; freshly ground
    2 cl Garlic; thinly sliced
    Squeeze of lime or lemon

    Preparation time: 5 minutes
    Cooking time: 10 minutes

    This garlic roasted asparagus is made with coconut oil, sliced
    garlic, and citrus for an easy goes-with-anything side dish ready in
    minutes!

    Preheat oven to 425?F / 220?C. Line a baking sheet with a silicone
    mat or greased foil.

    Snap off the very woody ends of the asparagus.

    Place your asparagus on baking sheet along with your garlic slices.

    Pour coconut oil over the asparagus and garlic, and crack over freshly
    cracked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Rub these
    ingredients into the asparagus from roots to the tips to mix them
    together.

    Place in the oven and roast for about 8 to 10 minutes for
    crisp-tender or up to 15 minutes for more softness depending on your
    preference.

    Remove from oven, squeeze lime or lemon on top and allow to cool for 2
    minutes. Serve immediately!

    Thanks Ben, found it in the Software Manager. Now I just need to figure out how to get the recipes from the echo into the database. :D

    Hi Dallas,


    We also tried Five
    Guys some years ago up in Kingston, NY. The burger was ok, fries were greasy to the extreme. Best part of that meal was the malt vinegar they offered for the fries; we've yet to go back to that chain.

    Hey Ruth, sorry to read about your poor experience with 5 Guys. Maybe
    it was just that one store because the ones we have down here in Huuntsville are VERY good. Maybe try a different location.

    It could be that it was just the one store; we've just not tried any
    others in the chain because there are so many other choices around here.
    When we go to a fast food place that has burgers, (which isn't that
    often), I usually get a chicken sandwich but don't have the option with
    5 Guys. Yesterday after church we went to a relatively new place; the
    Taj Mahal. They opened up in (IIRC) January; we went there shortly
    afterward and really enjoyed it. We will be back again.
