I know. I have those two (and a couple others for other symblos hard-coded
into my brain. I used to use <ALT>248 but switched to the other - just as
a matter of personal preference. It's a long way from using the lower case
"o" for degrees.  Bv)=

The <ALT> codes work fine on my two main editors - PFE and Notepad++. My
DOS emulator afyer trying several is vDOS. I'm not much on gaming so it
covers all of my bases nicely.

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

     Title: Dave's Breakfast 'shoe
Categories: Breads, Pork, Eggs, Sauces, Potatoes
     Yield: 1 Serving

     1    (5" to 6" dia) buttermilk
          - biscuit; split *
     2 lg Eggs; cooked any style
     2    Sausage patties; cooked **
     2 c  Hashed brown, American fried
          - cottage fried or French
          - fried potatoes
          Sausage gravy to cover all
          Shredded yellow cheese; opt

MMMMM---------------------------GRAVY--------------------------------
     1 lb Bulk pork sausage; sage
     2 tb Onion; fine chopped
     6 tb Flour
     1 qt Milk
   1/2 ts Poultry seasoning
   1/2 ts Nutmeg; ground
   1/4 ts Salt
       pn Worcestershire powder
       pn Cayenne

 Crumble sausage into a large saucepan. Cook over medium-
 low heat. Add onion; cook and stir until transparent.
 Drain, reserving all but 2 tb of drippings. Add the two
 tablespoons of fat back to the meat, stir in flour and
 cook over medium-low heat for about 6 minutes or until
 the mixture bubbles and turns golden.

 Stir in milk. Add seasonings; cook, stirring, until
 thickened. Set aside and keep warm.

 This is *much more* gravy than is needed. The unused
 portion keeps well in the ice box for up to a week.

 Split the biscuit and place on a large oval platter.

 Place the fried pork patties on the biscuit halves.

 Cook the eggs as you like them and slide them onto
 the top of the pork patties.

 Add your potatoes over the eggs, and ladle on the
 sausage gravy, stopping before it runs off the edges
 of the plate.

 Sprinkle shredded yellow cheese over the top, if you
 like.

 Serves 1 if you are hungry. Serves 2 if you're a wuss.

 * can substitute toast if you must.

 ** Pick your meat. I prefer sausage. Others may like
 ham, bacon, beef, etc.
