Lorri's Delicious Turkey Gravy
Lorri, Can (10:59:20 am) : I like to put spices on my
turkey. The spices drip down into the pan. When
the turkey is done I take the grease off. Put the
pan back into the oven to brown a bit. Using four
and water and spices (poultry) and pepper. I
make a thin paste. Slowly add the paste and stir
constantly so it thickens evenly. Scraping the
sides of the pan so you get all the flavoring into
the gravy. And never any lumps. Sometimes I
use the potato water to make the flour paste.

The 230 Pound Psalm

Strict is my diet, I must not want,
It maketh me to lie down at night hungry,
It leadeth me past Baskin-Robbins,
It trieth my will power, For my figure's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the aisles of the pastry
department,
I will buy no sweet rolls,
for they are fattening.
The cakes and pies, they tempt me, Before me is a table
set with celery and lettuce,
My day's quota runneth over,
Surely calories and weight charts
Shall follow me all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in fear of the scales forever.

Amen!

Here are some ideas for you...

Date: Wed, 16 Nov 1994 08:14:42 -0500
From: Sharon Beck ao852@FREENET.BUFFALO.EDU

Ravioli and their Polish counterpart pierogi are really fun things
to make. You can get really crazy with them and VERY inventive. All
you need is your basic noodle dough and imagination.

My kids usually make them with me, and some of our favorite fillings
include:

* Saute sweet onions, ground meat, salt/pepper to taste.

* Saute various mushroooms, add a tad of balsamic vinegar, maybe some
fresh basil or other herb of choice.

* Mix mashed potatoes (leftovers work well!), your choice of cheese
and an egg or two to bind, salt/pepper to taste.

* Spinach, crisped bacon, ricotta or feta cheese, an egg or two, salt/
pepper to taste. (Excuse typo ^, it should be RICOTTA)

* drained canned plums or apricots.

Almost any leftovers are fair game. Butternut squash that's been
buttered, brown sugared, etc., small amounts of veggies, leftover
meats can be chopped up. If the mix seems too loose, maybe an egg
would help bind, but it's not always needed. Try experimenting.
You may hit some very interesting combinations. We sometimes even
use our sauce INSIDE our ravioli or pierogi. Oh, and sun-dried
tomatoes...portabella mushrooms...fresh herbs...maybe I have some
leftovers that I can wrap up myself today !

BTW, these all get cooked the same, drop in boiling water until
done (quickly, it seems!), don't let stick to bottom of pot, can
brown in buttered frying pan afterwards if desired. Serve with or
without sauces, depending on filling(s) used and personal preference.

French Apple Pie?

From three parts of flour, one part of butter, and one part of sugar
knead a short pastry. Don4t forget to add a little bit of salt. You can
also add a little bit of pesticide-free water (if there is any obtainable).
Put that paste to the fridge at 80 Celsius.

Prepare same sourish pesticide-free apples, cut them into small slices.

After having prepared a max. 5 cm (two inches) high cake-tin (like some
Italian pizza-bakers use or a special French-tarte-tin) by greasing
it with butter and spreading some of the flour on it take the paste
off the fridge, roll it to a flat disc and manipulate it into the tin.
Having done so you can start arranging the apple-slices helicoidalicly
(if you don t know what I mean - try another way to put them ) onto the
well-prepared tarte.
In the mean-time you should have heated an oven to 190 +- 100 Celsius.
Now insert the tin into the oven.
Look at your watch.
Keep in mind the time it shows now.
Half an hour (to 40 minutes) later you should add a dressing made of
about 6 to 8 salmonella-free eggs, some cream (I don t know what creme
fraiche is equivalent is in us), sugar as your figure allows, cinnamon,
and a little bit of a good tasty spirit (don't drink what s left ) to the
hot tarte. Let it in the oven until it coagulates and gets a brown
surface.
But don t let it burn.
Drag it off the oven then off the tin, cut it into parts, add some
vanilla ice cream.
After all that work done, eat your part (may be two), enjoy life and wash
the dishes.

Betsy-TKL (08:40:47 am) :
Shortbread Crust

1 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 to 1/2 c. granulated sugar (to taste)
1 lg. egg, separated and yolk, lightly beaten
1/2 c. butter, softened

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Working on large flat surface, place the flour
and sugar in the center and mix together. Form a small depression or well in
the center of the mound. Add the beaten egg yolk and softened butter to the
well, then blend these with the dry mixture. Mix the ingredients thoroughly,
using your hands - there's no substitute for warm hands! Press the dough
into the pan with your fingers; while the crust won't be uniformly smooth,
that is not particularly noticeable in the finished product. Prick the crust
several times with a fork to keep the crust from puffing up during baking.
Place the springform in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until
light brown. Allow to cool.

Vicki,La (8:35:27 pm) : Cabbage Roll Casserole
(All the good wholesome taste without the fuss!)

1 large onion
3 large garlic cloves, crushed or 1 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 head small cabbage, about seven cups sliced thinly (yes, sliced; there
are actually no rolls in here. Either red or green are suitable.)
4 large carrots
2 large green peppers, seeded
4 Jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped (optional - probably not kid
friendly)
1 1/2 cups of uncooked rice (I use brown and it works out fine)
2 (28 oz) cans diced tomatoes, including juice
1/4 cup each of brown sugar and white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp each dried leaf thyme and salt
1 tsp Dijon mustard
4 to 6 unpeeled tomatoes, chopped (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Chop onions and place along with the garlic in
bottom of a large casserole dish that will hold at least 16 cups. Or use
two casserole dishes. Slice cabbage with a food processor or shred with a
sharp knife. It should measure about 7 cups. Thinly slice carrots.
Coarsely chop green peppers. Finely chop Jalapeno peppers, if using.
Place in a large bowl with rice. In another bowl, stir tomatoes and their
juice with sugar, vinegar, thyme salt and Dijon until mixed. Stir into
cabbage mixture, using a folding motion, until evenly blended. Turn into
casserole on top of onions. Do not stir. Cover with a lid and bake in
preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Then stir well every half hour, until
cabbage is soft and rice is done as you like. Then, stir in fresh
tomatoes. Serve immediately or package in 2 or 4 cup portions and freeze.

To Reheat: 2 cups takes 6 to 8 minutes on high in microwave to reheat.
Stir every 2 minutes.

This recipe might work well with the kids. If you use red cabbage they
just may be attracted to all the colors and the weirdness. It does take a
long time to cook, but it's a good recipe for one of those weekends when
you're trapped in the house by bad weather. This is a nice one to have in
the freezer when you need a hearty meal quick.
