If it is too soft, add more cornmeal. Drop by molded Tablespoon into 350"F fat and cook about 1 1/2 minutes; turn and cook on second side 1 minute. Allow oil to heat a few seconds after removing a batch. Delicious freshly cooked and hot; however, leftover hush puppies freeze well. When ready to serve frozen hush puppies, place on oven rack in preheated 250"F until very hot and crisp. Makes about 48 hush puppies 2" round. Hints on frying: Using a small diameter heavy saucepan allows using a minimum oil; a 5 or 6 inch pan with oil 1 1/2 inches deep and heated to 350"F will cook three hush puppies in about 2 1/2 minutes. When batter consistency is correct and oil is at 350"F, hush puppies will become firm, round shapes almost as soon as they enter the hot oil. If they are cooked in oil that is too hot, they will not cook in the center. Serving suggestions: Especially good served with fried catfish, trout, shrimp, oysters, chicken or chicken-fried steak.

This is the reason there are no amounts for the ingredients. Marinate the meat for a couple of hours in a liquid that is slightly acidic--a liquid such as wine, beer, vinegar, or lemon juice. Roast for 15 minutes per pound at 325 degrees F. For the last 15 minutes, cook at 500 degrees F. For example, for a 4 pound roast, total cooking time is 1 hour but it will be 45 minutes at 325 degrees F. and 15 minutes at 500 degrees F. This will crust the outside of the roast and the inside will be medium, barely pink. This is based on room temperature meat. If the meat is quite cold, extend the baking time. After 3/4 of the cooking time, sprinkle with salt and some fresh or dry rosemary needles. Turn the roast with WOODEN SPOONS (Very important that you do not pierce the meat) and season it all over. Rosemary, seasoned salt or garlic salt are nice, and some freshly ground black pepper adds to the flavor also. Swab the roast with some fresh lemon juice--this will also add to the zing of the meat. When cooked, snip off the cords and slice to serve. From the roasting pan, spoon off the fat from the accumulated juice. Add some beef stock or red wine to the juices, a few minced shallots or green onion shreds and cook down at high heat to a reduction or concentrated sauce. Adjust the seasonings, salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice, and serve with the roast. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Rumaki Categories: Appetizers Poultry Meats Servings: 12 1 lb Chicken Livers 8 oz Water Chestnuts; Drained 12 ea Bacon Strips 1/4 c Soy Sauce 1/2 ts Ginger; Powdered 1/2 ts Chinese 5-Spice Powder; OR 1/2 ts Curry Powder Cut the chicken livers in half or into large chunks.

Remove the papery outer covering of whole garlic head, but do not separate the cloves or peel them. Place as many whole heads of garlic on a large square of heavy-duty aluminum foil as there are people to be served. Fold up foil so that the cloves are completely wrapped. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve each diner a head of garlic and some bread and butter. Separate cloves. Hold a clove over a piece of buttered bread and squeeze. The garlic puree will pop out, like toothpaste from a tube. Spread and eat. GARLIC PUREE: To make a batch of Garlic Puree for later use, let roasted heads of garlic cool, unwrapped for at least 5 minutes. Gently separate the cloves and squeeze each one over a fine meshed sieve, so that the softened garlic pops into the sieve. With wooden spatula or wooden spoon, rub garlic through the sieve into a small container or bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the puree if needed. QUICK PUREE: If you are in a hurry, you may skip the refinement of the sieve. Simply squeeze the cloves, one by one, over a bowl. When they have all been squeezed, use a rubber spatula to push the puree into a neat mound cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed. It will keep for months. To keep indefinitely, cover with a film of olive oil. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Potato Dumplings Categories: German Potatoes Servings: 4 8 ea Med.

Soften the yeast in the warm water and let stand for 5 minutes or until it "blooms" or proofs. Put a half cup of sugar, the salt, butter, orange juice and rum extract in a large bowl. Pour the scalded milk over the ingredients in the bowl. Stir until the butter is melted. Cool to lukewarm. When cool, blend in 1 cup of the unbleached flour and beat until smooth. Stir in the yeast and add about half of the remaining flour, beating until smooth. Beat in the eggs. Then beat in enough of the remaining flour to make a SOFT (should be slightly sticky and light in weight). Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 to 10 minutes). Form into a ball and put into a greased bowl, turning to grease the top of the ball of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm draft free place until doubled in bulk. Punch the dough down, kneading lightly to remove all of the air pockets, and turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into rounds using a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Cover with waxed paper and let rise on the rolling surface away from drafts and direct heat, until double in bulk, (30 to 45 minutes). About 20 minutes before frying, heat the fat. Fry the doughnuts in the heated fat. Put only as many doughnuts at one time as will float uncrowded in a single layer deep in the fat. Fry 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned; turn the doughnuts with a fork or tongs, being careful not to pierce the doughnut, when they rise to the surface. Do this several times during the cooking. Lift from the fat, draining for a few seconds over the fat before removing to absorbent paper toweling. Cool. Cut a slit through the center in the side of each doughnut. Force about 1/2 ts of jam or jelly into the center and press lightly to close the slit. (A pastry bag and tube may be used to force the jelly or jam into the slit.) Shake 2 or 3 bismarks at one time in a bag containing granulated or powdered sugar. (Your choice.) Shake lightly to remove the excess sugar. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Micro-Wave Peanut Brittle Categories: Candies Servings: 12 1 c Raw peanuts 1 c Sugar 1/2 c White corn syrup 1/8 t Salt 1 t Butter 1 t Vanilla 1 t Baking soda Stir together peanuts, sugar, syrup, salt.

NOTE: TO PREWARM A CANDY THERMOMETER, SIMPLE PLACE IT AN A SMALL SAUCE PAN OF COLD WATER AND BRING IT TO A BOIL. LET IT SIMMER UNTIL YOU NEED THE THERMOMETER. STEP 1: Prewarm the thermometer; separate the eggs allowing the whites to come to room temperature in a large bowl of an electric mixer. (Return the egg yolks to the refrigerator covering with plastic wrap or water for another recipe.) Fill a glass with ice cubes and water. To make dropped divinities, you will need 2 cookie sheets, topped with greased wax paper. For squares, use a greased and wax paper-lined 8 X 8-inch pan. Measure the sugar, corn syrup, ice water and salt and dump into a heavy 2-quart saucepan with a tight fitting lid. STEP 2: Dissolve the sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon over low heat. Syrup will become clear, gritty sounds will cease, and the spoon will glide smoothly over the bottom of the pan. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. STEP 3: (OPTIONAL): Cover pan with a square of wax paper and lid, pushing down firmly. Steam for 2 to 3 minutes to dissolve the sugar crystals. (Listen to make sure the pot doesn't boil over. To double-check, remove lid, leaving the wax paper in place.) STEP 4: Wash down any crystals clinging to the sides with a brush dipped in hot water from the thermometer bath. Introduce the prewarmed thermometer. No need to stir. STEP 5: Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. If your mixer is a heavy duty one, you can wait until the bubbles in the syrup become very large and airy before beating the egg whites. Otherwise, do it now when the thermometer registers 240 Degrees F. (115.5 C.). STEP 6: Test the syrup when the thermometer registers 246 degrees F. (119 C.). Continue testing until it reach the firm-ball stage, 246 to 260 degrees F. (119 to 126.5 C.). Syrup will be hard to scrape up in ice water. It will have to be forced into a ball, but once formed, it should hold its shape but give under pressure. Return the thermometer to the hot water bath to soak clean. STEP 7: Dribble the syrup into the egg whites in a slow, steady stream, beating at slow speed. Tilt the syrup pan to get the last drop but do not scrape the pan. Once the syrup is completely incorporated, change to a flat whip if you have one. STEP 8: Have patience and continue beating. The amount of time you spend mixing depends on the power of your mixer. If you have a heavy duty or commercial one, you can go to full speed and make the divinity in less than 5 minutes. With less powerful ones, it can take up to 20 minutes. The important thing is to beat at the highest speed of your mixer. Also if it is a hot and humid day, it will take longer also. STEP 9: Test the divinity. The first and most important test occurs when you lift the beaters. If the candy falls back in ribbons that immediately merge back into the batter, it isn't done. Eventually, a stationary column will form between the beaters and the bowl. Candy will lose its sheen/gloss and stop being sticky; a teaspoonful dropped onto wax paper will hold its shape, even a peak. If you machine is laboring and the candy is not quite there yet, you have two choices: Pour anyway and put into a frost free freezer to set up....or finish by hand. STEP 10: Fold in the flavorings and nuts and/or other optional items using the mixer or if very thick, a wooden spoon. STEP 11: Drop or spread the divinity either on wax paper-covered cookie sheets or the buttered pan. Dripping it by teaspoon is harder work for you but it ripens quicker and is ready to eat sooner. A neat trick is to put the candy into a pastry bag and pipe onto the wax paper. If you spread it in the pan, you will have to wait up to 24 hours before it is ready. But you maybe one of those that think it is better when it is 24 hours old. Score and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in a refrigerator.

The cake is really a quick mix dessert made with Oreo cookies and soft squishy stuff. The trick is to capture everyone's attention with an announcement of some sort, and as you are speaking, trowel out some of the dirt from the flower pot around the flowers and eat it. May be followed by a worm dug out of the "dirt". You may substitute vanilla pudding for the chocolate if you want, and use up to 20 oz of Oreos. Please use a clean new plastic flower pot or take the precaution of lining a clay pot with foil and wrap the stems of live flowers if you use them in order to prevent any toxins from entering the dessert. Crush the cookies until they resemble potting soil. Set aside. Cream the butter or margarine, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Set aside. Combine the pudding mix and milk until well blended. Then fold in the whipped topping. Gently fold the cream cheese and pudding mixtures together.

Cooking 1 1/4 hours. Cook the snails in advance in a court bouillon, then remove them from their shells. [There's a description of court bouillon in "Joy of Cooking." Basically, a court bouillon is an aromatic liquid or stock, sometimes containing wine, vinegar or lemon juice, used mainly for cooking fish and shellfish, but also sometimes white offal (variety meats) and some white meats. -- mkm] Chop them, together with the peeled shallots and a small bunch of well-washed chives. Place these ingredients in a saucepan with the wine, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak the frogs' legs in the milk for 1 hour. Drain them, then roll in flour and saute in the butter in a frying pan over a brisk heat for 10 minutes. Add the snails, together with their cooking juices, and season with salt and pepper. [Personally, I prefer to mill the pepper at the dinner table. The smell of the freshly ground pepper would otherwise be lost. -- mkm] Turn up the heat and cook for a further 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve. White wines: Macon-Clesse, -Lugny, -Vire or -Ige, Hermitage, Crepy.

Season with the salt, pepper and spice, then work through a fine sieve. [Quatre-epices is a plant from the Antilles (West Indies) whose fruit is at the same time reminiscent of pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. --mkm] Place a piece of butter the size of a bean inside each snail shell. Add the snail, then close up the shell with some more butter, pressing it down firmly. Arrange the snails on a dish and moisten with the wine if liked.

From Fannie Farmer's New Cookbook ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Brown Sugar Fudge (Penuche) Categories: Candies Servings: 6 1 c White Sugar; Granulated 1 c Light Brown Sugar; Firm Pack 1/2 c Heavy (Whipping) Cream 3 tb Molasses; * 2 oz Unsweetened Chocolate; 2 Sqs 4 tb Butter; 1/2 stick 1 1/2 ts Vanilla 1/2 c Chopped Nuts; Optional * This is to taste. The original recipe called for 4 Tbls of Molasses, but she did not like it that strong, but this is necessary to make sure that the fudge will "candy". STEP 1: PREPARE: Prewarm the thermometer in hot water; use a 2-quart saucepan; butter the upper sides (inside) of the saucepan; measure all ingredients except the vanilla and optionals, and dump into the saucepan. Grease and if necessary, line a 5 X 10-inch pan. Fill glass with ice cubes and water and the sink with 1/2 inch of cold water. STEP 2: Dissolve the sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, over low heat until the butter melts, the gritty sounds cease, and the spoon glides smoothly over the bottom of the pan. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. STEP 3: Boil, after washing down any crystals that may have formed, with a pastry brush dipped in hot water from the thermometer bath, using as little water as possible. Introduce the prewarmed thermometer. Reduce the heat while keeping the fudge at a boil. Stir no more than necessary. STEP 4: Test the fudge mixture in the ice-cold water when the mixture thickens and bubbles become noisy. Ball, formed in ice water, should hold its shape until the heat from your had begins to flatten it and should be al dente -- slightly chewy -- between 230 and 240 (110 and 115.5 degrees C.). Because of the molasses and brown sugar, it can ball at a lower temperature than some other fudges. STEP 5: Shock by placing the saucepan in the cold water in the sink. STEP 6: Seed by adding, without stirring, the vanilla. Then allow to cool. STEP 7: Stir when luke warm and "skin" forms on the top (110 degrees F.(43.5 degrees C.)). Return the thermometer to its hot water bath to soak clean. Stir the fudge thoroughly but not vigorously by hand, with an electric mixer, or with a food processor. Pause frequently to allow the fudge to react. STEP 8: Watch for the fudge to thicken, lose its sheen, and become lighter in color or streaked with lighter shade, give off some heat, suddenly stiffen. If mixing by had, the fudge will "snap" with each stroke; by mixer, mixer waves will become very distinct, by food processor, fudge will flow sluggishly back to the center when the processor is stopped. STEP 9: Add the optionals (1/2 Cup Chopped Nuts (walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts (filberts)) before the fudge totally candies. STEP 10: Pour, score, and store when cool in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature. YIELD: 1 pound of fudge. Recipe is easily doubled and can be frozen. VARIATIONS: HONEY BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eleminate the unsweetened chocolate and replace the molasses with 1/4 cup of honey. The honey causes the fudge to ball at a higher temperature. CHOCOLATE HONEY BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, replace the heavy cream with light cream or evaporated milk and replace the molasses with 1/4 cup of honey. ORANGE BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eleminate molasses, chocolate but add 1 Tbl corn syrup. In Step 6, add 1 Tbl grated orange zest, plus if you can get it, 1 tsp of pure orange extract. PEANUT BUTTER BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eliminate the molasses and chocolate, replace the heavy cream with 1/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter. To intensify the peanut butter flavor, add 1/3 of a cup of salted peanuts in Step 9. PRALINE BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eliminating the molasses is optional -- you'ss get a more Southern praline with it, a milder one without it--or compromise and use only 1 Tbls. Eliminate the chocolate. In Step 3, when the mixture begins to thicken, add 1 1/2 cups of pecan halves slowly so as not to break the boil or cool the mixture too quickly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Pork Tenderloin With Mustard Sauce Categories: Main dish Meats Sauces Servings: 2 8 oz Pork Tenderloin; 2 pieces 1/4 ts Salt 1/4 c Onion; Chopped 1/4 c Green Pepper; Chopped 1/4 c Water 1 tb Dijon Style Mustard; PLUS 1 ts Dijon Style Mustard 1 ts Unbleached Flour Place the pork tenderloin in a 24-oz shallow casserole.

When hot, dip chicken breasts in seasoned flour -- be careful to shake off excess flour -- and place them in the hot pan. Saute chicken, for approximately 2 minutes per side. Add butter and mango puree to the pan. Cook until the sauce is reduced and fairly thick -- about 2 minutes. With a spatula, remove the mango-covered chicken breasts from the pan and place them on a hot platter. Spoon remaining mango puree over the chicken. Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Garnish each breast with 2 mango slices. For a more pronounced mango flavour, use fresh mangoes. Use 2 fresh mangoes and 1/2 cup of orange juice. Boil for 1 minute. From owner-chef Barry Pall of Pappacito's, a fast-food restaurant in the Bell Canada Tower ind downtown Montreal. He refused to identify the spices in the seasoned flour but will admit that there are 2 teaspoons of powdered chicken soup per cup of flour.

Let it stand 20 minutes, loosely covered. Form dough into marble-sized balls. Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Flatten each with smooth bottom of a drinking glass greased once and dipped into Nestles' Quick Powder. (Or use sweetened chocolate drink powder). Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove cookies at once from baking sheet, to paper toweling and at once, flatten each cookie with back of pancake turner. Let cool 20 minutes. Fill with COOKIE FILLING mixture. (Cookie Filling) Soften gelatin in cold water. Place in heatproof cup in pan of hot water till gelatin is transparent. Meanwhile beat Crisco till fluffy, adding vanilla and sugar a little at a time. Beat in Gelatin mixture when it is completely cooled, but not yet "set" or firm. This is used to give the filling stability - as well as protein! When cooled, shape filling into 1 inch balls. Place between the two bottom sides of the cooled cookies, pressing gently till filling has spread to edge of cookies and rounded-out like the originals. This is suppose to be a great imitation version of the original Nabisco Oreos. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Broken Shrimp Jambalaya Categories: Southern Cajun Main dish Seafood Servings: 6 1 1/2 lb Broken shrimp (cooked) 1 c Peanut oil 4 ea Onions, chopped 5 ea Cloves garlic 2 ea Bunches shallots 1 ea Bell pepper, chopped 2 t Paprika 1 x Red, black, white pepper 1 x Salt 1/4 lb Smoked sausage 3 c Rice 5 c Water Heat oil, add onions, garlic, shallots, bell pepper, smoked sausage, paprika, salt, and peppers and saute well.

People didn't have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, 'Shut up, dog!
