FordsTowel

• I'm expert in more than a couple of things, or so I'm told by those who have needed my assistance; but there are few things that I know to the level of wizardry. erm
• MS Excel would be one. Even experts have conceded that my use of this amazing (if frustrating) tool amounts to wizardy, especiall as pertains to the use of functions, formulae, conditional formatting, conditional sums, et al. magic
• MS PowerPoint may be another, and almost MS Access where I've been able to make it look just like Excel for those who don't want to be confused by Access.
• I also seem to have the wizards knack for unusual, yet edible, dishes. Try my Orange Glazed Hot Dogs: 1 can orange soda, four ounces orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce, 10 shakes of hot sauce, 1 pkg hotdogs cut small. Boil it all in a saucepan, stirring occasionally, until the liquid stops foaming and collapses into a thick orange glaze. dragon (Works with just Beer, Hotsauce, and the Dogs, too; or use meatballs, large jar of grape jelly and small jar of chili sauce). Yummmm!
