This ought to be right up your street ...
Title: Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies^

With caret!

Unfortunately, the oven here has been non-working for quite some
time...

That's a shame. So many thiings one can do with an oven. When I lived in
the tin can I has a double-stack wall mount oven separate from the cook
top (stove). Gave that up when I ditched the redneck ranch for a *real*
house - with a more conventional stove w/oven on the bottom.

Still, it beats no oven. Have you considered a toaster" oven. Best Buy
was offering a "The bella PRO 12-in-1 6-Slice Toaster Oven + 33-qt. Air
Fryer with French Doors gives you the same deep-fried taste without the
fat! Air fry technology uses high intensity hot air to bake, brown, and
crisp your favorite fried foods with little to no oil." for U$150.

I'm hoping Santy Pants will have one fall out his sleigh this year.
Even tho I'm short on counter space.

Yes, and someone offered to give one to me. It would just be a matter of making space for it.

That's my problem. With my tiny kitchen and lack of counter space I have
to store the toaster-oven on a rack in the dining room and set it up when
it is to be used. P.I.T.A.

Title: Fudge Oatmeal (No Bake) Cookies
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 3 Servings

There was a lot of "backing and forthinig" back in the early days of the
echo (mid 1980s) and both Meal Master and Master Cook had their "champions".
I bought a copy of Master Cook and registered my download of Meal master
so I was covere3d either road.

I have noticed that recipe source has a lot of MC formatted recipes. Some
of tohse were originally issued as Meal master - to each his own,said the
old woman as she kissed the cow. Bv)=

Heck Ieven registered a copy of Accu Chef (windoze ready - not DOS).

Here's a Randy with mmore than 3 servings

Title: Elephant Stew
Categories: Five, Meat
Yield: 3800 Servings

1 Elephant
Salt & pepper
2 Rabbits

Cut elephant into small bite size pieces, this should
take about 2 months.

Add enough brown gravy to cover, about half a train
tank car.

Cook over kerosene heat for about 4 weeks at 450ºF/234ºC.

This recipe should serve 3,800 people.

If more are expected, add 2 extra rabbits, do so only
if necessary as most people do not like hare in their
stew.
