I took off two days in a row.  Not only did I take off for my birthday, I did not send out a newsletter on Thursday. Not all the messages and recipes sent in fit in today's newsletter.  More will be sent out tomorrow.

The picture of me was taken during my birthday luncheon at Dyer's Barbecue in Amarillo. I had a great birthday and am now 756 months old.

Ditto and Siggy's pictures were taken today as I tried to do the newsletter. Ditto spends the entire time I am doing the newsletter on the desk beside me.  He flops his tail on the mouse pad as I try and use the mouse to the computer.  When I call him on it he just looks at me like he is sound asleep and he didn't do anything.

Good day all!
I just want to thank everyone who came forward with the correct way to place the buns for the Hot Dog Bun Pudding! I will be making it tonight for dessert!

Just curious...has anyone tried the fried liver with fresh lemon juice I had written about? Just wondering if anyone liked the alternative to the usual fried onions.
Til next time, Jeri K. from Glen Cove L.I.


Here is a recipe from Semi-Homemade (Sandra Lee) that I saw and tried because I love to buy these when we go somewhere that has them. By the way, my name is Chelsea, I am 14 and Tona in Bama is my Mom. I am going to start sending my own recipes when I try new things on my own.

Frozen Bananas
4 bananas, peeled and halved
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch morsels
1 cup chopped almonds
1 cup candy sprinkles
8 wooden craft sticks (we use corndog sticks)

Insert wooden stick into each banana piece. Arrange on parchment-lined sheet pan and freeze for 20 minutes. Place chips and morsels into separate bowls. Microwave on medium heat until melted, about 60 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds.

Remove bananas from freezer and dip by alternating between melted chocolate and butterscotch. Immediately roll them in chopped nuts or sprinkles. Freeze until frozen solid, about 1 hour.

Skillet Beef and Shells
2 cups cooked pasta shells
1 to 1-1/2 pound lean ground beef ( I use ground sirloin or sometimes ground venison)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can whole kernel corn, drained or 1 to ½ cups of frozen corn thawed
1 can Nacho Cheese Soup (or Cheddar Cheese Soup)
salt and pepper to taste

Brown beef with onions; add green bell pepper and cook for another minute. Add tomatoes, corn, soup and pasta, Mix well; taste and add salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until hot.
Serves 4.

Here is an easy and quick skillet dinner – I usually keep most of the ingredients on hand – so it’s a quick go-to meal when I need something in a hurry. I prefer the frozen corn or no salt added canned corn and tomatoes to cut down on the sodium since the recipe calls for canned soup!

For Scooch in Florida and any other baker out there wanting to make sourdough breads. I have never had a problem with making them. They all have come out fine. These websites have several different types of starters, depending on your taste. One important note when making any sourdough starter is to always use wooden or plastic spoons. Using a metal spoon to stir every day will kill the yeast mixture. One nice alternative to putting the mixture in a bowl and stirring everyday is to put the sourdough mixture in a gallon size Ziplock bag. You can just squish the bag everyday and make sure you release the air from the bag at least one time everyday. Do not refrigerate the mixture either, this will slow the fermentation process. The first website listed has frequently asked questions, links to book reviews and other sites having sourdough information—a great source. Hope this will be useful to all those interested.

Chelsea's Sloppy Joe Tater Tot Casserole
1-1/2 lb. ground beef
1 can Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce
1-1/2 cups (6 oz.) Cheddar cheese, shredded
4 cups (1 lb.) frozen Tater Tots

Preheat oven to 450. Spray 8" baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Brown meat in large skillet over medium high heat, drain. Stir in Manwich. Reduce heat to low; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese and spoon into prepared dish. Top with tater tots; press lightly into meat mixture. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until tater tots are lightly browned and meat mixture is heated through.

Me and Mama have also done this on a pizza crust and made a sloppy Joe tater tot pizza. We put mozzarella cheese on top of the tater tots. It was good.

In answer to LongIslndLady in the Sept 18 newsletter. she wanted to know if there was an easy way to mix Crisco so it would gob up on the beaters. Most of my recipes ask that the shortening and sugar be creamed together and then eggs added. I do not have a lot of trouble when I use that method as the sugar helps. Of course some sticks to the beaters but not big gobs. Hope this helps.
Marian in ND


Nancy ~LongIslndLady asked about mixing Crisco with other ingredients. I wonder if she keeps in the refrigerator. If so she might take it out for a while before using it. Usually recipes call for creaming butter or shortening and sugar or another ingredient first. That should incorporate it or just take the scraper and push it down into the rest of the contents of the bowl. I think it also might help to turn the mixer up on high for a few seconds.

Hello everyone out there in Nancyland. I am looking for a recipe for beans and rice. I love Mexican and I love beans and rice.
Thank you Nancy from Indiana


Hi, I have 2 questions. For Lisa and her Chocolate Marshmallow Cake- could any other size pan be used?

Then for all who submitted the Dinner in a Pumpkin recipes (I'd never heard of this and want to try it for a church dinner) - how is this served? I'm assuming with a ladle right out of the pumpkin?

As for how to do small meatballs for the Wedding Soup - I'm going to look for a melon baller the first of the month! I have a couple different recipes for this soup so I can't wait til it's cold enough to make it!

Happy Birthday, Nancy. Many more to you and hope this one was/is Special!

Thanks to all the testimonies on Awsome Cleaner. It really is AWSOME. I have recommended it to several friends.


In the July 8 2005 newsletter, referenced a little cookbook titled Mormon Cooking: Authentic Recipes. I used to have that book, but I have since lost it. There was one recipe in there that my kids want me to make again. If you still have the book, would you be willing to e-mail me the recipe? I don't remember what it was called, but it was hamburger, macaroni noodles, cream of mushroom soup, tomato sauce, and some other things. My family would really appreciate it if you could help!
Thank you,

This is for the member who lost the Cookie Dough Fudge recipe. This might also be a good option for those looking for something new or different to make for the holidays.
Robbie Bowling Green, In

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/3 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips, divided
4 cups powdered sugar
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla

Line 8- or 9-inch square pan with foil, leaving 1-inch overhang on sides. Lightly butter foil or spray with non stick cooking spray.

Combine butter and brown sugar in small bowl. Stir in flour. Stir in 1/3 cup chips.

Form dough into a ball. Place on plastic wrap; flatten into a disc. Wrap disc in plastic wrap; freeze 10 minutes or until firm. Unwrap dough; cut into 1/2-inch pieces; refrigerate.

Place powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer at low speed until combined. Scrape down side of bowl; beat at medium speed until smooth.

Melt remaining 1 cup chips in heavy small saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat as soon as chocolate is melted. You can also melt the chips in the microwave.

Add melted chocolate to cream cheese mixture; beat just until blended. Stir in chilled cookie dough pieces.

Spread evenly in prepared pan. Score into squares, about 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 inches, while fudge is still warm.

Refrigerate until firm. Remove from pan by lifting fudge and foil using foil handles. Place on cutting board; cut along score lines into squares. Remove foil. Makes about 24 pieces. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.


Mama said that Schoolbuslady was looking for wonton recipes. I got to cook these all by myself with the fry baby. A lady at our church made these and gave me the recipe then brought me her extra wonton wrappers and Nutella because she bought them in bulk at Sam's and she shared with me, because she said she didnt need them at her house because she would eat them. So, I am glad she brought them to me. They are really good. If you dont know that the Nutella is in there, it is hard to guess what it is. I had never heard of Nutella or had eaten it that I know of. It just tastes like chocolate to me.

Chocolate-Hazelnut Ravioli
16 wonton wrappers
1 egg, beaten to blend
1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Place 1 wonton wrapper on the work surface. Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with beaten egg. Spoon 1 tablespoon of chocolate-hazelnut spread into the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper diagonally in half over the filling and press the edges of the wrapper to seal. Place the ravioli on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers, egg, and chocolate-hazelnut spread. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Add enough oil to a heavy large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees.

Working in batches, carefully add the ravioli to the hot oil and cook until they are golden brown, about 45 seconds per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the ravioli to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Then, transfer the cooked ravioli to another baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while frying the remaining ravioli. (The fried ravioli can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool them completely, then cover and refrigerate. Before serving, place them on a baking sheet and rewarm in a preheated 375 degrees oven just until they are heated through, about 7 minutes.) Dust the ravioli with powdered sugar.

Scrape into bowl and stir in almonds, sour cream, mayo and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 2 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.


Just had some Bob Evans cole slaw and it was wonderful. Wonder if anyone has a recipe for their cole slaw dressing.
Your brother and family are in my prayers.
Marge in OH


Nancylanders, I hope someone can help me out with this request. Over the summer my DH was off work for knee surgery. A man he works with brought us a 'care' package and I told DH that we would do something nice in return when he returned to work. Well.. the subject came up, and our friend would like the cake that his late wife baked. His description is that it's a spice cake that has sour cherries in it. Not thick pie filling, but cherries in juice. Does this sound familiar to any one??
Thanks, Beth in PA

First Nancy I want to wish you a Very Happy Birthday and many many more. and thank you for your comment 9/17 on I said squares but they are really Black Diamonds with a question mark inside I do get a lot of recipe with them. Some I figure I'll guess at the amount. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Not that I would know how to do it even if you told Me. but I could try. Thanks Dorothy in IL.

Donna in Southern California, Yes the cake recipe 9/18 came through this time perfect. I want to make it soon Thank you Dorothy in IL

Comment
When the black diamonds with a question mark come though the mail it means that either the computer that sent the message or the computer sent the message could not read the fraction or special character.  Many times this happens when one tries to transfer a recipe from pdf format to another format.  There is really not much that can be done except to write the person who sent the message and ask if they could clarify the measurements or the special character that did not show up.

Thanks to everyone for the won-ton hints. To Madelyn of Ar I found this recipe and it looks really easy. I love crab rangoon.
Sharon

Crab Rangoon
(2) 8 oz. packages cream cheese softened
6 oz. crab meat mashed
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
salt and pepper to taste
12 oz. package won-ton wrappers
1 beaten egg

Mix cream cheese, crab meat, garlic salt, salt and pepper well. Spoon a small portion on wrapper and brush some beaten egg on the edges. Fold over in a triangle and seal the edges. Place on a cookie sheet and freeze to harden the filling. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
serves 6-8.

Note: I think a very small amount of sugar or sweetener would be good.


Nancy,
This is for Jane in NC. My daughter too had leukemia when she was 2 years old and is now 33 years old. We were told that children with cancer have a 50% chance of being diagnosed with another type of cancer. My prayers are with you and your family.

To Jane in NC My heart goes out to your nephew and family. Remember…God doesn’t give us more than we can handle. As a long time resident of West Tennessee, I have seen the wonderful work done by the staff at St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Even if your nephew wasn’t treated here, he has obviously had excellent medical care over the years. May he continue to receive the best care possible. My prayers are with you and your family.

Hello Nancy...a belated Happy Birthday to you. Did your two furry critters bake you a birthday cake? I know they are smart, and I was hoping they would do such a chore.

Pest Control
I remember someone saying that a good way to deter mice is to put Bounce dyer sheets around the house? Is this right? Where do I put the sheets exactly? And why does it work. If anyone else has any other tips I would love to hear them. We are starting to get little critters in our as the cooler weather approaches. And my cat, Tiger likes to "play" with them.
Thanks all Dawn - Cape Cod, MA


For Bill, in NC. You answered the question I hadn't had time to ask--about cooking liver. My mother only bought calves' liver and she soaked it in milk for a while before cooking. Then, she cooked bacon--1 slice for each piece of liver. Removed the bacon to keep warm. Then dipped the liver in flour and fried for 2 minutes per side. This left the liver just a bit on the rare side, and very tender. I just couldn't remember whether it was 2 minutes per side, or 4 minutes. When I read your note I realized that it was 2 minutes per side for a total of 4 minutes. And my mother was allergic to onions, so we never had them. If I were doing it now (and I just may pick up some liver next time I'm at the store), I'd cook the bacon, then fry some onions and remove them, and then cook the liver.
jeanlock in McLean VA.

To all: I am still planning to send in that spaghetti recipe, but have to find it first. And I've been a bit under the weather lately.


Dear Nancy & Friends,
Last night (late), I started baking the EXTRAORDINARY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES from the Sept. 7th. newsletter that Joan (no location given) cut from the back of a 5# bag of Gold Medal Flour. Due to what I had in my cupboard, I ended up doing something that made these beyond EXCELLENT!!! I recommend all our readers try this variation: For the 24 oz. of semisweet chocolate chips (plus the 1 more cup of semisweet she added), I used one 12-oz. bag of Special Dark Chocolate Chips, one 12-oz. bag of semi-sweet, plus 1 cup of Milk Chocolate Chips (I actually had about one and one half cups left in the milk chocolate bag, because I had used some for a quick bundt cake frosting topper, so I dumped it all in). My Mom tasted one & loved it. I was just finishing baking at 1:00 a.m. this morning (Wednesday) when my son came in the door. He grabbed some & started moaning & mumbling wow, etc. I don't get rave reviews like that very often, so needless to say, from now on this will be the ONLY chocolate chip cookie recipe I use (along with my accidental variation discovery!).

Thanks again, Joan, for submitting this recipe! Love you, Nancy & this newsletter! And I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we are all praying for God to heal your brother Butch, Nancy. When it rains, it pours for some people. You must have a lot of faith, Nancy, to persevere through all these trials, & still have enough energy & enthusiasm left over to produce this magnificent newsletter every day (counting all those "whoops" Thursdays). Sorry to be so long-winded.
Susan from Superior, WI.


From Sunday September 09, 2007
Wondering if anyone in Nancyland has a recipe for Chuckwagon Sandwiches? My other half loves them and has asked me to see if I can find a recipe. I know the good cooks in here can help me!! Thanks Nancy for this wonderful site!
Earlene in NC
Reply:

Earlene, I searched the internet for two days, and every food dictionary I could find, and did not locate the recipe in your request. I finally went to a place where I know that they sell these, and asked, “What’s in them?” Here is the list of ingredients. Sorry no recipe.
From Merry M in MN

Chuckwagon Sandwich
1 slice Bologna
2 slices Ham
2 slices Salami
1 slice Swiss cheese
1 slice American cheese
Softened butter, to spread on bun
1 large round bun (such as a Kaiser, onion, or sesame seed)
A small sprinkle of seasoning blend containing Paprika
Makes 1 sandwich.


Good Morning friends,
Has anyone seen Chocolate diet soda in stores, I do not wish to purchase off the Internet. Hope you can help.
