Hi Mel,
Sorry, at one time that link led to an actual recipe, but the Courier-Journal appears to have removed it
from public access. That happens a lot on the web. The only way to get to that particular webpage now is
by subscription.
However, I did a search and found two slightly different recipes for Blue Boar Salisbury Steak elsewhere on
Internet message boards & blogs. See below
