LHS Episode #180: Blacklisted

Posted on by Russ Woodman

In this episode, Linux in the Ham Shack takes you a journey into sight and sound. Well, mostly sound. Topics include operating below 500kHz, new stuff in WSJT-X, an open letter from a young ham to the curmudgeons in the room, Ham Radio Deluxe being nefarious again, Ubuntu 16.10 with Budgie, a useful Debian utility, contributing to Open Source as a newbie (or oldbie) and much more.

We also send our thoughts and condolences to the young daughter, family and friends of Matthew Williams, Lord Drachenblut, KD9BWJ. He passed away much too young on December 6, 2016, after a long struggle against cancer. We miss you, brother.

Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)
  • White Christmas Pie
  • Description
    • While it has been SEVERAL years since I have fixed this pie, Russ (and my dad) loved it when I was fixing it all the time.  It's a light pie that is perfect for a holiday dinner.
  • Ingredients
    • 2 baked (8”) pie shells (graham cracker crust works, too)
    • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
    • 1/3 cup lemon juice
    • 1/3 cup coconut
    • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans are my personal favorite)
    • 1 can (15 oz) crushed pineapple, well drained
    • 1/2 teaspoon pineapple flavoring
    • 1 container (12 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • Directions
    • Combine milk, lemon juice, coconut, nuts, pineapple and pineapple flavoring. Stir in whipped topping and pour mixture into pie shells. Chill for 4 hours. 12-16 servings. Note: One 10" pie crust may be substituted for the two 8" pie crusts. For Christmas, it's especially festive when you dollop some cherry pie filling on each piece.

Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

  • Mexican Lasagna
  • Description
    • Over 20 years ago I was given a cookbook that had this recipe in it, and I decided to fix it one evening for dinner. Everyone raved about it so it earned it a regular spot in our meal plans. While I don't fix it as often now, I do fix it occasionally and Russ will request it, along with my Mexican Cornbread that I did for episode #169.
  • Ingredients
    • 1 pound ground beef\
    • 1 can (17 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
    • 2 cans (8 oz each) tomato sauce
    • 1 cup picante sauce
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
    • 2 cups cottage cheese
    • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
    • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
    • 1 teaspoon crushed oregano
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
    • 12-16 small flour tortillas
    • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar (or Mexican blend) cheese
  • Directions
    • Brown meat and drain. Add corn, tomato sauce, picante sauce, chili powder and cumin. Simmer, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Combine cottage cheese, eggs, parmesan, oregano and garlic salt in separate bowl; mix well. Arrange 6 tortillas on bottom and up sides of lightly greased 9x13” baking dish, overlapping as necessary. Top with 1/2 of the meat mixture. Spoon cheese mixture over meat. Arrange remaining tortillas over cheese, overlapping as necessary. Top with remaining meat mixture. Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving with additional picante sauce.
