19-III-1997.: pašteta recipe

About my SF stories, on 1st I was still working on Engar pages, i.e. have a word document with that date. Amazingly, LibreOffice opened it in 2021 without any complaints.

Also, there's a htm file on my disk, with this date, containing her recipe for pašteta, which is more or less based on the recipe by Đenđi's grandaunt. In december 2011, I put the english translation of the recipe on my "Serbia for absolute beginners" (blog, which I closed later in 2013). Here goes:

Here's the recipe:

500g (1.1 lb) of liver (preferably young beef, but pork or chicken or even mixed would do) one onion (keep in mind that average serbian onion is about the size of average american beet) one carrot one parsley (root) 100g of smoked bacon 100g of butter (or pork lard... if you use margarine, choose a hell in which to burn) 1 laurel leaf few grains of whole black pepper some nutmeg

Chop onion, carrot, parsley and bacon, braise until they go soft. Add laurel and pepper.

Remove the tendons from the liver, add into the mass and braise, but take care to keep it juicy. It shouldn't harden. Grind in the meat grinder (without laurel). Add salt, ground pepper, some nutmeg powder (or freshly grated nutmeg). Add butter before it gets cold. Stir to make uniform mass and pour into a mold - any vessel would do. Optionally give it a bit of crust in an oven or a microwave, so it holds longer.

When it cools down, park it in the fridge and visit as inspired. Spread on bread - thicker if you don't plan to make a sandwich over it.

I guess I have posted the text on sezam, but not on this day, probably later.

In the archives, I find that Ileš has generated a lot of code that day. He probably ran opisf.prg, which generated gen_all.prg, which ran the opisfmm4.prg (to generate form code from the metadata) for each form in the app. And there's a version of automatic binding (v. 15-I-1995.).

These days (6th-7th march, 9th april some, then the rest on 24th may) I was working on some sidecar app for HosTract, some kind of phonebook/log thing. Don't understand why was this a separate one, and don't know if it ever went live, specially seeing as there's a TKNJ (prob'ly phonebook) made on 3rd of march. Who knows what I was doing there, and why on earth did I put the credentials of Boća's brother's company in defg.prg...
