1 garlic bud (optional)
1/2 c. chopped red onion
1/2 tsp. salt

sara, ga (9:18:10 pm) :
NEW YEAR CASSEROLE
2 lbs. sauerkraut, fresh, canned or
packaged
1 lb. solid piece of bacon, with rind
1 c. rice
2 lbs. boneless pork cut into 1" cubes
Salt, freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 c. finely chopped onions
1 tsp. finely chopped garlic
2 tbsp. paprika
1 lb. Polish or Italian sausage, cut
into 1/8" slices
2 c. chicken stock, fresh or canned
1 1/2 c sour cream
3/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wash the sauerkraut under cold running
water, then let it stand in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce the
sourness. Squeeze it dry by the handful and set it aside. With a sharp
knife, cut the bacon off the rind, leaving 1/4" of the fat attached to the
rind. Dice the bacon into 1/4" chunks. In a heavy 10" skillet, cook the
bacon until it is slightly crisp, then transfer it with a slotted spoon to a
large mixing bowl. Pour off from the skillet all but a thin film of the fat
and reserve it. Drop the rice into 2 quarts of slightly salted boiling
water. Bring the water to a boil again and cook the rice for 3 minutes. Pour
it into a colander, rinse it with cold water and set aside. Sprinkle the
pork cubes with salt and a few grindings of pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons of
the bacon fat in the skillet until a light haze forms over it. Then add the
pork cubes. Over medium heat toss them about for 5 to 6 minutes, or until
they are lightly browned on all sides. With a slotted spoon transfer the
pork to the mixing bowl with the bacon and add the onions and garlic to the
fat remaining in the skillet. Stirring occasionally, cook them for about 5
minutes or until the onions are lightly colored. Off the heat, stir in the 2
tablespoons of paprika, continuing to stir until the onions are well coated,
then scrape the mixture into the mixing bowl with the bacon and pork. Return
the skillet to the heat and add the sausage and, using more of the bacon fat
if necessary, cook it until it is lightly browned. Transfer the sausage to
the mixing bowl, and add 1 cup of the stock to the skillet. Bring to a boil,
stirring in any brown bits clinging to the bottom and sides of the pan. Then
pour the stock over all the ingredients and with fork, toss them together
gently but thoroughly. Line a heavy 6 quart casserole with the sauerkraut,
after pulling it apart with your fingers. Spread the meat onion mixture over
the sauerkraut. Spread the rice on top of that. Combine the sour cream and
milk and pour the mixture evenly over the rice. Score the bacon rind and cut
it into 5 or 6 equal strips. Distribute these over the top of the casserole
and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grindings of pepper and
paprika. Over medium heat on the top of the stove, heat the casserole until
it boils or sizzles. Cook, uncovered in the middle of the oven for 1 1/4
hours, adding the other cup of stock after 1 hour. Serve directly from the
casserole. Serves 8.

sara, ga (9:29:19 pm) : RECIPE FOR THE NEW YEAR
Take twelve fine, full grown months. See that these are thoroughly free from
old memories of bitterness, rancor, hate and jealousy. Cleanse them
completely from every chimming spite; pick off all pettiness and littleness.
In short, see that these months are as fresh and clean as when they first
came from the great storehouse of time. Cut these months into 30 or 31 equal
parts. This batch will keep for just one year. Do not attempt to make up the
whole batch at one time. So many people spoil the entire lot this way. But,
prepare one day at a time as follows: Into each day put twelve parts of
faith, eleven of patience, ten of courage, nine of work (some people omit
this ingredients and spoil the flavor of the rest), eight parts of hope,
seven of fidelity, six of liberality, five of kindness, four of rest
(leaving this out is like leaving the oil out of the salad) - don't do it,
three parts of prayer, two of meditation and one well selected resolution.
Then put in about a teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of
jolly, a jigger of laughter, a sprinkling of play and a heaping cupful of
good humor. Cook thoroughly in a fervent heat, garnish with a few smiles and
a sprig of joy, then serve with sweetness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness
and a happy new year is a certainty.

EGGPLANT WITH TSATSIKI
1 eggplant, approximately 1 3/4 lb.
Salt
1 1/4 c. plain yogurt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2-3 cloves garlic
1/2 bunch fresh dill
1/2 cucumber
Freshly ground white pepper
Flour
Olive oil
Rinse and dry the eggplant and trim off the ends. Cut the eggplant on a
slant into slices 1/2 inch thick. Lay the slices next to one another on a
plate and sprinkle both sides with salt. Leave for about 20 minutes to allow
excess moisture and bitter juices to be drawn out. During this time the
tsatsiki can be prepared. Mix the yogurt with the lemon juice. Peel the
garlic and chop as finely as possible or crush over the yogurt with a garlic
press. Rinse the dill, shake dry and chop finely. Stir into the yogurt with
the garlic. Wipe the cucumber and grate over the mixture. Season generously
with salt and pepper, then beat vigorously until the tsatsiki is light and
frothy. The process of beating will distribute and enhance the flavors of
the ingredients. Cover the dish and put in the refrigerator to chill. Rinse
the eggplant slices and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge each slice with
flour. This is best done by pressing both sides of each slice into the flour
and shaking off the excess flour afterwards. Heat a few tablespoons of oil
in a skillet and fry the eggplant, a few slices at a time, over a high heat
until they are golden brown on both sides. Add more oil to the pan if
necessary. Turn the slices only once to prevent them breaking. Remove from
the pan and drain on paper towels. Pat the upper surfaces with paper towels
as well so that all the oil is removed. Serve the eggplant hot or cold with
the tsatsiki poured over it.
