Entree/Starters

Pease Porrige (hot)

Pick over and wash 2 qts dried peas. Place peas in about 8 qts water and bring to slow boil for about 2 hours or peas are soft. Replace water as it boils away. Skim the scum off the top of the pot then pour through strainer reserving the liquid. Mash the peas well - use a food processor or blender if you want - then return peas (and their cooking water) to the pot. Keep on low heat then crush and add 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tbs dried spearmint, salt and pepper. Heat to boil. Chop and add two medium-large onions, 2 tbs dried parsley, and 1/2 pound butter.

Damn it! -- I typed in most of my recipe for fruit cobbler, then forgot and tried to use a tab on the ingredient list. Whatever I did next caused me to lose the whole thing. Well, after I cool down I'll re-enter it, and maybe a couple of other favorites. This is a great idea!!! - Rita Ferrara

I'm refreshing this thread because it came up in the "goulash" thread. Does anyone know what's happened to this project?

Well, the Mudcat Just Desserts cookbook is sitting in my machine, waiting for me to proofread it, before sending it to Max. It's taken a while because I needed to try a few recipes out. Any one know any good diet books>?

What happened to this project is the volunteer started working on it, got a job, and due to a short attention span, forgot she'd been working on it. I'm not working now, so I have time to get back to it. Mea culpa, and I apologize. Will give self a quick kick in the butt from everyone...

ENTREE - breakfast or whenever

Squash & Egg tacos's

Styled after the traditional Tex-Mex potato & egg taco, ("papa con huevo") mostly encountered as breakfast fare.

Large skillet: heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil w/goodly admixture sesame oil, on at least medium heat; sautee some chopped green onions, &/or garlic, then put in squash - green Zuchini - sliced thin - abt 2-3 mm. thickness. Use 1 good sized squash, or 2 little ones.

Sautee the squash, to just lightly browned, at most. Then pour in 4-6 good sized eggs, or 5-7 egg whites, (the way we do it) to keep down the cholesterol, & scramble the whole mess together, set aside & heat the soft flour tortillas next..

We buy prepared fresh flour tortillas - my wife likes white flour, I like whole wheat - whatever good brand you can get, or buy prepared Chapati's from an Indo-Pak grocer. I like to heat the tortillas right on the burners, flipping frequently, using tongs, or your fingers if you're quick & careful. The tortillas should puff up in usually several small areas, not the whole thing. I like little burned, charcoaled spots on my tortilla, my wife doesn't. If you're chicken, you can use a microwave to heat them. I NEVER endorse heating them in a frying pan!

Spoon some squash & egg fillin's onto the hot flour tortilla, garnish w/a favorite Salsa (my favorite brand is Pace, my wife likes Herdez -buy in ethnic/import stores), & generous amt of cilantro (fresh coriander leaf, Indo-Pak places often call it Dhania), salt & pepper to taste.

Then, Chow Down!

Cheers, BK

Rhubarb Orange Custard Pie

3 eggs, separated 1 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup butter 3 Tbsp Orange Juice concentrate 1/4 cup flour 1/4 tsp salt 2 1/2 cup Rhubarb 1/3 cup chopped pecans

Beat egg whites til stiff, add 1/4 cup sugar. Set aside.

Beat butter, OJ, Egg yolks thoroughly. Add 1 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Beat. Stir in Rhubarb. Fold in egg white. Put in a high 9" crust. Cover top with pecans. Bake @ 400 Deg Farenheit 45 min. (Put a piece of tin foil over it after 5 min. or the top will burn)

Pie crust (Makes 3 single crusts)

2 3/4 cup flour 1/2 cup lard 1/4 cup butter 1 tsp salt 1/3 cup milk

Cut all but milk together with knives, pastry blender or food processor. Do not knead or it will be tough. Add milk, mix lightly. This crust is very tender and you will have to roll it out between sheets of waxed paper or parchment. Patch any holes. I have never tasted better.

Sinsull nudged my memory today with a message about helping me out on putting this together. I had a momentary attack of CRS and had forgotten that I even started this thing!

Anyway, while I still think this is a great fundraiser idea, it is not something I have the time or energy to work on right now. In scanning it, I see that Jeri had started on it, so maybe she and some volunteers, would be able to continue on?

Thanks,

kat
