• MM categories

    From JIM WELLER@1:135/392 to SEAN DENNIS on Sun Jul 25 22:13:00 2021

    Quoting Dave Drum to Sean Dennis <=-

    Question about MM: can I copy the categories from one database to
    another? I'm about to import 150,000 more recipes from files I've
    created and don't want to have to hand-edit each database's file.

    I don't know the answer to that. I don't think it's important. If I am editing a recipe's categories and I enter one that isn't in my list MM asks, "(K)eep, (A)dd, (D)elete".

    You can have 187 categories listed. The list has to be entered
    manually one at a time by adding them. But MM can still search for
    and find additional categories in recipes that are not on your
    personal list.

    There is also a utility called MMM that among other things can
    change or delete categories en mass. I often change other people's
    categories e.g. "Oriental" to "Asian" etc. and delete categories I
    don't need like "meats" or "baking". Since any given recipe can
    only have 5 categories listed that makes room for more precise
    descriptive labels like "venison" and "pies".

    Title: Snails w/Frogs' Legs (Escargots Aux Grenouilles)
    Categories: Game, Exotics, Wine, Dairy

    My categories are: French, Appetizers, Snails, Frogs and Wine and it
    lives in my "Fish" directory along with snakes and alligator as they
    are all clearly not Meat, Bird or Vegetarian.

    Title: NAENGMYEON - BEEF BRISKET IN BROTH AND SEASONINGS
    Categories: Noodles, Beef, Soups, Korean
    Yield: 4 Servings

    500 g Naengmyeon noodles
    300 g Beef brisket
    300 g Daikon
    1 Cucumbers
    1/4 Nashi pear
    2 Eggs
    2 Onions- green/silpa
    1/2 Capsicums- red
    1 3/8 l Beef broth
    1 tb Soy sauce, light
    -guk ganjang
    Sugar
    Salt
    Vinegar
    Mustard sauce
    Chilli powder
    SAUCE:
    1 Leek, 10 cm long
    5 Garlic cloves
    1 ts Black pepper
    2 l Water

    A noodle dish in beef broth with different seasonings.

    Place beef in cold water until the blood is excreted. Bring the
    sauce to a boil. Add the beef and boil until cooked. Remove from
    heat. Take out the beef and cool. Save the broth. Thinly slice the
    beef. Strain the broth through a sieve and mix with soy sauce and
    light soy sauce to add color.

    Thinly cut the radish into 1cm by 7cm pieces. Add salt, sugar and
    vinegar. Let stand until tender. Cut cucumber into halves
    lengthwise and chop diagonally. Add salt, sugar, and vinegar. Let
    stand until tender. Cut pear a little bigger than the radish.
    Hard-boil the eggs and peel off the shell. Cut into halves. Set
    aside. Finely chop the green onions and red chilli.

    Add Dongchimi (radish water-kimchi) liquid to the beef broth, salt
    to taste, and refrigerate.

    Boil noodles and quickly immerse in ice cold water. Rinse in cold
    water. Roll one serving of noodles around your hand and place on a
    big sieve. Repeat the same process with the remaining noodles.
    Place the noodles in a bowl and top with the beef, radish,
    cucumber, pear, eggs, green onion and red chilli. Add beef broth.
    Serve with mustard sauce, vinegar, and red chilli paste on the
    side.

    NOTE: If no dongchimi liquid is available, the naengmyeon can be
    made solely with beef broth.

    Korean silpa onions look like large scallions or small leeks.
    Their proper name is Allium fistulosum and they are also known as
    Welsh bunching onion and Japanese negi. -JW

    with flour and add to the oil. Cook until fish is lightly

    fish. Remove fish to the plate.

    To the same pan add onions, garlic, red pepper, mustard,
    and curry leaves; cook until the onions are soft, about 3
    minutes. Stir in the water, tomatoes, and tamarind and
    bring to a boil. Simmer until the sauce is reduced and
    thickened, about 8 minutes. Gently slip in the fish and
    the accumulated juices. Cook until the fish is heated
    through, about 2 minutes. Serve garnished with herbs.

    After some discussion with Michael Loo, I have stopped using the term
    Oriental and use Asian for all of those areas if I am not using a single country name.. His opinion was that the term Oriental was offensive to
    many -- and I accepted his opinion.

    I did not know that. But, then, I don't have a politically correct bone
    in my body .... beyond eschewing the obvious pejoratives like the "N"
    word.

    I often put the country of origin in the title of the recipe and leave
    the categories for ingredients.
