clarity and consistency. My usual degree symbol with the line under the tiny "o" is made using <ALT> 167 ..... thus o.
If I press <ALT> 167 in DOS, i get the symbol with the line under the
tiny "o".
If I press <ALT> 248 in DOS, i get the symbol WITHOUT the line under
the tiny "o". I think this is actually the degree symbol.
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)=
A little trivia: i was not able to enter these alt codes when running
DOS on qemu. Looking into it, i found that alt codes aren't handled by DOS, they are handled by the BIOS. Several PC emulators lack this
feature in their BIOS. DOSBox-X, however, supports alt codes and can
boot FreeDOS.
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.

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.
