    Title: Lemon Chiffon Pie
    Categories: Pies, Pastry, Citrus, Dairy, Chocolate
    Yield: 6 Servings

    Dough; for single-crust pie
    1 oz Env unflavored gelatin
    1/4 c Water
    1 c Sugar; divided
    1/4 ts Salt
    5 lg Egg yolks
    1/2 c Lemon juice
    2 c Heavy whipping cream
    4 dr Yellow food coloring
    - (optional)

    MMMMM---------------------CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE--------------------------
    1/3 c Semisweet chocolate chips
    2 ts Shortening

    On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8" thick circle;
    transfer to a 9" pie plate. Trim to 1/2" beyond rim of plate; flute
    edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Set oven @ 425?F/218?C.

    Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights,
    dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge
    is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake
    until bottom is golden brown, 3 to 6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire
    rack.

    In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand
    2 minutes to soften. Add 1/2 cup sugar and salt. Cook and stir over
    low heat until sugar is dissolved.

    In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed about 5 minutes or
    until pale yellow. Gradually drizzle hot gelatin mixture into
    yolks, beating constantly. Return yolk mixture to same saucepan.
    Stir in lemon juice. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens and
    bubbles around the edges, stirring constantly. Cool to room
    temperature. In a large bowl, combine cream, food coloring if
    desired and remaining sugar. Beat a high speed until soft peaks
    form. Add cooled lemon mixture. Continue beating at high speed
    until stiff peaks form.

    Spoon filling into crust. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before
    serving. Or, if desired, layer filling with chocolate drizzle:
    Spoon half of filling into crust. In a microwave, melt chocolate
    and shortening; stir until smooth. Transfer to a pastry bag with a
    small round tip. Spoon half of lemon filling into crust. Drizzle
    half of the melted chocolate over filling. Top with remaining
    filling. Drizzle remaining chocolate over pie. Refrigerate at least
    2 hours before serving.

    Hi Ben,

    I'm back................after about 2 weeks of no Fido. Don't know why
    but it was most frustrating.

    Title: Lemon Chiffon Pie
    Categories: Pies, Pastry, Citrus, Dairy, Chocolate
    Yield: 6 Servings

    Looks yummy, never really thought of a chocolate drizzle for lemon pie
    but I guess it's worth trying.

    A Whataburger just opened up this past Tnursday in town, lines were out
    the door. We stopped in on Saturday night, had to wait about 15 minutes
    before we got inside, then placed our to go order and had to wait
    another 20 mnutes or so before it was ready. Took it home--I ordered a
    junior with no mustard and onion rings. Burger came out--a regular size
    patty on a generic hamburger bun with tomato, chopped onions and 3/4
    wilted (still had a small section of crunch) lettuce. Steve got the
    patty melt (2 burgers with cheese, not sure what else on bread) and
    onion rings. This will not be a regular stop for us; we were much less
    than impressed with the meal.

    Hi Ruth,

    I'm back................after about 2 weeks of no Fido. Don't know why but it was most frustrating.

    Ugh.. Since i don't run my own BBS, if that happened to me, i'd just hop
    over to a different BBS and use it instead.

    A Whataburger just opened up this past Tnursday in town, lines were out

    Bummer on that fats food experience. Last year my cousin took me to
    In-N-Out Burger for my first time. I liked that the place was clean and
    had wide windows so i could watch them working in the kitchen while we
    were in the drive-through. To me it seemed high priced. The food was
    fine, but nothing to write home about. They always have big lines, so
    they must be doing something right.

    Tomorrow i plan to go to a Thai place with my cousin. I haven't totally decided yet what i want to get.

    Polenta Pasticciata (Polenta Lasagne)

    Recipe By : Cook's magazine, Nov 1989
    Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Italian Grains

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    7 c Polenta
    1/3 oz Dried porcini or
    - other wild mushrooms
    3 tb Olive oil
    3 tb Butter
    1 md Onion -- minced
    3 tb Italian parsley -- minced
    1 lg Carrot -- minced
    1 lg Celery rib -- minced
    1 lb Lean ground beef
    3 tb Tomato paste
    2/3 c Dry red wine
    35 oz Can plum tomatoes -- drained
    Salt & ground black pepper
    2/3 lb Pecorino cheese -- grated

    Pour polenta on an oiled work surface and spread 1/4" thick. Let
    stand until cooled completely and firm, about 15 minutes. Cut into
    3" squares; set aside. Can transfer squares to a baking sheet,
    cover and refrigerate overnight.

    Sauce:

    Soak dried mushrooms in 1/3 cup warm water until softened, about
    30 minutes. Strain liquid through a fine sieve; reserve. Chop
    mushrooms coarse.

    To Cook:

    Heat oil and butter in a large skillet. Add onions, parsley,
    carrots, and celery; saute until softened, about 10 minutes. Add
    ground meat; saute until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in
    mushrooms, reserved mushroom soaking liquid, tomato paste, and
    wine; simmer for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and their reserved juice;
    partially cover and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about
    30 minutes. Season this sauce with 1 ts salt and 1/2 ts pepper or
    to taste. Can cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

    Heat oven to 450?F. Arrange half of the polenta squares in the
    bottom of an oiled 13x9" baking pan. Pour half the sauce over the
    polenta squares; spread to cover. Sprinkle half the grated cheese
    over the sauce. Repeat with another layer of each. Bake until
    lasagne is heated through and cheese is golden brown, 15 to
    20 minutes; let stand 10 minutes, cut into squares and serve.

    It's frustrating, especially since there aren't that many of us left in
    this echo.

    I've been trying different recipies from my cook book collection and
    various other sources over the past several months. Last week I tried
    another new recipe (found in one of my Berlin "collection" cook books)
    for Andalusian Beef Stew. It's similar to a lot of beef stews with
    onion, beef, potatoes and beef stock but it also called for green
    olives, paprika and stirring in sour cream at the end. I just had
    Spanish paprika (with a bit of a zing) but it worked well. We stirred
    the sour cream into each individual bowl since the recipe made about 6
    (cut down 1/3) servings. Steve said "it's a keeper".

    I probably should look into a back up. For years Dale Shipp was my back

    took out Marc Lewis's New Orleans set up.

    When our older daughter and her family were living in Las Vegas, she and
    I did the drive thru on In-N-Out a couple of times. As I recall, they
    were quite good but I couldn't eat that big a burger now. I don't
    remember if they offer a chicken alternative; I usually go for that so
    will try the Whataburger's version at some point. We also tried Five
    Guys some years ago up in Kingston, NY. The burger was ok, fries were
    greasy to the extreme. Best part of that meal was the malt vinegar they
    offered for the fries; we've yet to go back to that chain.

    Tomorrow i plan to go to a Thai place with my cousin. I haven't
    totally decided yet what i want to get.

    Sounds good. Steve has his VFW meeting tonight; he had volunteered to
    cook for this month. Yesterday we went over to Sam's Club and got 3 big
    chicken pot pies, several bags of Caesar salad, a big tray of cookies
    and a flat of LaCroix sparkling water for the meal. We went to Wegman's
    after that and restocked on some of our baasics--yogurt, lunch meat
    (from the deli), soups, bagels, and more. Also got a small sushi tray
    for my supper tonight and some deli roast beef & kimmelwick rolls for
    our supper last night. Had them with the last of the cole slaw I made
    several days ago. Not gourmet eating but fills the belly.

    It looks good but that's as far as it'll get for us. Steve's corn
    allergy rules out things like polenta. My lasagne recipe is from my MIL,
    using the sauce recipe I posted yesterday, whole wheat noodles and
    ricotta cheese. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY different from the poor excuse for
    "lasagne" my mom made. (G)

    Hey Ruth, sorry to read about your poor experience with 5 Guys. Maybe it was just that one store because the ones we have down here in Huuntsville are VERY good. Maybe try a different location.

    I understand. I get my main Fido feed directly from the Zone 1 Coordinator though I have three other Fido feeds for specialty areas.

    Title: Tsoureki (Easter Bread)
    Categories: Bread
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 pk Active dry yeast
    1/2 ts Sugar
    1/4 c Sugar
    1/4 c Milk; lukewarm (110-115 deg)
    2 1/2 c All purpose flour
    1 ts Salt
    2 Eggs

    1 ts Lemon peel; finely grated
    1 Egg; hard boiled, in the
    -shell; dyed red with food
    -coloring
    1 Egg yolk; lightly beaten

    Date: Sun, 25 Feb 1996 12:23:50 -0800

    From: n7luf@tscnet.com (Larry Carbaugh) In a small, shallow bowl,
    sprinkle the yeast and the 1/2 teaspoon of sugar over the lukewarm
    milk. Let it stand for 2 or 3 minutes, then stir to dissolve the
    yeast completely. Set the bowl in a warm, draft free place (such as
    an unlighted oven) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture doubles
    in volume.

    Combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and the
    salt in a deep mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, and add the
    yeast and the 2 eggs. Gently stir the center ingredients together
    with a large spoon, then gradually incorporate the flour and continue
    beating until all the ingredients are well combined. beat in the 8
    tablespoons of butter and lemon peel, add up to 1 cup more flour,
    beating it n a few tablespoons at a time and using as much as
    necessary to from a dough that can be gathered into a soft and still
    somewhat sticky ball. (When the dough becomes difficult to stir
    easily, work in the flour with your fingers.)

    Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, and knead it by
    pressing it down, pushing it forward several times with the heel of
    your hand, and folding it back on itself. Repeat for about 10
    minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. sprinkle the dough
    with a little extra flour from time to time to prevent it from
    sticking to the board.

    Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a large, lightly buttered
    bowl. Dust the top with a little flour, drape with a kitchen towel
    and set aside in a warm, draft free place for about 1 hour until the
    dough doubles in bulk.

    With a pastry brush, coat a baking sheet with the tablespoon of
    softened butter. Punch the dough down with a single blow of your
    fist, then transfer it to a lightly floured surface. To shape the
    dough into a snail like loaf, roll it into a thick rope about 2
    inches in diameter and 24 inches long. Starting at one end, loop the
    rope into a circle about 6 inches in diameter, and then into ever
    smaller concentric circles. Carefully transfer the loaf to the baking
    sheet and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Press the dyed egg gently into
    the center and brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg yolk.
    Bake in the middle of the oven for about 45 minutes, or until golden
    brown and crusty. Cool completely on a cake rack before serving.

    and restocked on some of our baasics--yogurt, lunch meat (from the deli), soups, bagels, and more. Also got a small sushi tray for my supper tonight and some deli roast beef & kimmelwick rolls for our supper last night. Had them with the last of the cole slaw I made several days ago. Not gourmet eating but fills the belly.

    The other day my sister served me lox, and i don't remember eating it before.
    I guess it could be thought of as Jewish sushi.

    It looks good but that's as far as it'll get for us. Steve's corn allergy rules out things like polenta. My lasagne recipe is from my MIL, using the sauce recipe I posted yesterday, whole wheat noodles and ricotta cheese. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY different from the poor excuse for "lasagne" my mom made.

    I've made lasagna several times in adulthood and it always seemed like too
    much work to deal with those big noodles. I liked "Mexican Lasagna"
    better.

    Title: Mexican Lasagna With Black Beans And Corn
    Categories: Mexican
    Yield: 8 Servings

    5 lg Flour tortillas (10")
    15 oz Can corn (1-1/2 c)
    15 oz Can black beans (1-1/2 c)
    15 oz Can diced tomatoes
    - (1-1/2 c)
    15 oz Can tomato sauce (1-1/2 c)
    1/2 c Diced chiles
    1 1/2 ts Chili powder
    1 ts Ground cumin
    1 ts Garlic powder -OR-
    2 cl Garlic; minced
    1 ts Sugar
    1 lg Egg
    16 oz Regular sour cream *
    2 c Shredded Mexican cheese
    - blend
    1 bn Green onions (1/2 c);
    - chopped

    * Avoid light and fat-free sour cream, they will curdle.

    Preheat the oven to 400?F. Grease a 13x9" baking pan. Get
    4 mixing bowls, one for grated cheese, one for corn and beans, one
    for tomatoes and spices, and one for sour cream, egg, and cheese.

    Stack the tortillas on a cutting board and slice through them
    lengthwise into 3 strips each. The strips will not be uniform
    because of their circular shape. This is OK. Set aside. Mix corn
    and black beans in a small bowl.

    In a small bowl, stir together the tomatoes with their juice, the
    tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and sugar. Spoon
    about half of the sauce into the bottom of the dish. Cover the
    sauce with 5 of the tortilla strips. It's fine if they overlap
    somewhat.

    Break the egg into a medium-size mixing bowl, and beat with a whisk
    or fork until foamy. Add the sour cream and 1 cup of the cheese.
    Stir to mix well. Spoon half of the sour cream mixture evenly over
    the tortilla layer and spread it out with the back of a spoon.
    Scatter half of the corn and black beans over the sour cream
    mixture.

    Place 5 more tortilla strips evenly over the corn and black bean
    layer. Top with the remaining sour cream mixture, and the remaining
    black beans and corn. Place the remaining tortilla strips over the
    dish. Pour the remaining tomato sauce mixture over the tortillas,
    and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon to moisten all of the
    tortilla strips.

    Cover the dish with foil, and bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and
    bubbly. While the dish bakes, rinse and trim the green onions.
    Slice the green onions thinly, using all of the whites and enough
    of the tender green tops to make 1/2 cup. Set aside.

    When the lasagna has baked 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and
    uncover it. If it is not hot and bubbly, return the uncovered dish
    to the oven for 5 minutes. Once it is hot and bubbly, scatter the
    green onions evenly over the dish. Return the dish to the oven,
    uncovered, for 5 more minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, and
    scatter the remaining cup of Mexican cheese evenly over the dish.
    Return the uncovered dish to the oven, and bake until the cheese
    melts, about 3 minutes.

    Remove the lasagna from the oven, and let it stand 10 minutes.
    Slice into squares and serve.

    Hi Dallas,

    BTW: Does anyone know if there a good recipe database program for Linux that is MM compatible?

    AnyMeal is MM compatible and runs on Linux with minimal dependencies.

    Note that version 1.32 is the last version to support Qt5.
    Later versions require Qt6.

    Ugh.. Since i don't run my own BBS, if that happened to me, i'd just
    hop over to a different BBS and use it instead.

    I probably should look into a back up. For years Dale Shipp was my back up, had to use his system for several months after Hurricane Katrina
    took out Marc Lewis's New Orleans set up.

    Ruth,
    You are always welcome to point off of my hub system, 1:2320/105, if
    you like.

    Thanks, I'll talk to my computer guru/geek (AKA Stephen) and see what he
    says about setting up a point. I don't think he's on Fido that much now
    that he's so heavy into radio but I still like to keep in touch with
    long term friends and make new ones.

    Hi Dallas,


    We also tried Five
    Guys some years ago up in Kingston, NY. The burger was ok, fries were greasy to the extreme. Best part of that meal was the malt vinegar they offered for the fries; we've yet to go back to that chain.

    Hey Ruth, sorry to read about your poor experience with 5 Guys. Maybe
    it was just that one store because the ones we have down here in Huuntsville are VERY good. Maybe try a different location.

    It could be that it was just the one store; we've just not tried any
    others in the chain because there are so many other choices around here.
    When we go to a fast food place that has burgers, (which isn't that
    often), I usually get a chicken sandwich but don't have the option with
    5 Guys. Yesterday after church we went to a relatively new place; the
    Taj Mahal. They opened up in (IIRC) January; we went there shortly
    afterward and really enjoyed it. We will be back again.

    Hi Sean,

    He used to be very reliable; it's just in the last 6 months or so I've
    not been able to count on day after day after day..............etc
    mail. It's frustrating, especially since there aren't that many of us
    left in this echo.

    I understand. I get my main Fido feed directly from the Zone 1 Coordinator though I have three other Fido feeds for specialty areas.

    I'll probably set up an alternate (or 2) feeds as a back up. I'm not
    that heavy into the internet--but do use it--but I do like the echo
    here. I should probably check the listing and see if there are other
    echos that may pique my interests.


    I've been trying different recipies from my cook book collection and various other sources over the past several months. Last week I tried another new recipe (found in one of my Berlin "collection" cook books)
    for Andalusian Beef Stew. It's similar to a lot of beef stews with
    onion, beef, potatoes and beef stock but it also called for green
    olives, paprika and stirring in sour cream at the end. I just had
    Spanish paprika (with a bit of a zing) but it worked well. We stirred
    the sour cream into each individual bowl since the recipe made about 6 (cut down 1/3) servings. Steve said "it's a keeper".

    That sounds delicious! Now that I have Dave's collection, I have too
    many recipes to try out and that's not counting the 30 cookbooks I
    have in my kitchen...

    Only 30? I don't know how many cook books I have; I've never counted.
    Every so often I'll pull one out and browse thru it until a recipe
    shouts "TRY ME". The beef stew recipe was on the page opposite the
    recipe I used about 6 weeks ago for rouladen; I'd seen the recipe then
    and thought I'd give it a try. I did, and it's a keeper now.


    Title: The Brass Key Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup
    Categories: Soups &, Stews
    Yield: 10 Servings

    Now that's a new way to serve corned beef and cabbage! We usually do the traditional boiled (simmered); I add potatoes and carrots to make it
    more like a New England boiled dinner. Since it's just the 2 of us, we
    divide the left overs into meal size portions and put them in the
    freezer. Got a couple in there now; one may be pulled out when we hit
    the road next month in the camper. It'll make for a quick supper some
    night when we don't want to cook. (G)

    I also can do point feeds (just tossing my hat in the ring).

    Always good to have back ups to the back ups. Thanks; I'll run

    Title: Tsoureki (Easter Bread)
    Categories: Bread
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 pk Active dry yeast
    1/2 ts Sugar
    1/4 c Sugar
    1/4 c Milk; lukewarm (110-115 deg)
    2 1/2 c All purpose flour
    1 ts Salt
    2 Eggs
    8 tb Butter; unsalted, cut into
    -small bits
    1 tb Butter; softened
    1 ts Lemon peel; finely grated
    1 Egg; hard boiled, in the
    -shell; dyed red with food
    -coloring
    1 Egg yolk; lightly beaten

    Looks good but I might sub beets for the red food coloring. When I do
    pickled eggs, I use sliced beets (and their juice) for the coloring,
    making them like the Pennsylvania Dutch red beet eggs. I'll also slice
    up an onion and put that in the jar(s) to pickle as well--makes for some
    good eats. I've a jar in the fridge now that I made up several weeks
    ago; I usually let it set about 2-3 weeks before we eat it.
