Linda from Bayou Land in Louisiana asked about cloudy shower doors. Clean door and then dry with clean cloth. Then spray Skin So Soft (from Avon) with a paper towel all over the door. It keeps your door clear for about two weeks. SEE THROUGH CLEAR! I think the shower sprays you spray on your shower tiles and doors cause the door to cloud up. Not scum, hard water etc.

Good Morning Beth in PA.. To get rid of the musty odor in the scarves try washing them in Listerine Mouth Wash. This will remove the musty odor.
Buster


To Beth D in PA. regarding odor in scarves. I read recently that someone uses about a cup of Listerine mouthwash in the washing machine to get out the odor of motor oil in clothes. This person said it worked like a charm. While I can't personally vouch for this I think it might be worth your while to try. It certainly couldn't hurt.

Shower cleaning hint TNT
We have a large shower - all white tile including the floor. About every 6 months my husband - what a wonderful person he is - cleans it well. If necessary he uses bleach to clean the floor grouting.
His secret is this - when it is thoroughly dry he waxes the whole shower with paste wax like you'd use for a car. And buffs it well. It does smell bad for an hour or so. BUT it's so worth it. The whole process doesn't take that long and it sure is worth it not to have to fuss with it every week.
There are just the two of us using the shower but he works on 29 acres of land so he's not exactly a "cleanie" - the wax makes it easy just to either spray the shower or if you're really ambitious wipe it down.

I've also heard of people using an oil like Wesson Oil to repel spots, etc. - but the paste wax lasts a long time.

Beth D. in PA was wondering how to get rid of the musty smell in the scarves she bought recently. I would suggest washing them with vinegar in the water and hanging them outdoors to dry.
Connie in TX


Beth in Pa was asking about a musty odor removal.. try adding baking soda to warm water and letting your scarves soak for a while.
good luck

This is for Mary G. In Calif. who asked for carne asada recipes in the 5/31 newsletter. I found these on the internet and thought maybe she would like to check them out. Donna L. in OH

Hi Nancy. This is in reply to your newsletter page 1 on May 31st. You referred to your good news and bad news when you moved back to Amarillo. No Krispy Kreme donuts but do you still have your Sonic Drive In where you used to get your $.99 banana splits? Everytime you mentioned them my husband and I just drooled as we love banana splits but they also like to leave weight on us.
Linda in Grass Valley

Comment
The Sonic was on the way home in Lubbock. After I moved back to Amarillo it is no one I drive by each day. I am not sure if they have them or not right now. They were sooooooooo good. I went online to find their site and didn't see them. I did find their nutrition guide with calories, carbs, fat and fiber content. It was surprising to me how many calories and carbs in their hamburgers.


A guide to find Krispy Kreme doughnut stores  is
and it shows a picture in the bottom left side of the page of their wonderful donuts.
Nancy


Nancy in the May 31 newsletter you mentioned that since you moved to Amarillo there was no Krispy Kreme Donut shop anymore. Well, the Wal-Mart at I-40 and Grand St. has a Krispy Kreme Donut display right by the checkouts on the food side of the store. I am not sure if the other Wal-Marts carry them also or not. But, you should give the local Donut Stop stores a try...I think their donuts are much better than the Krispy Kremes we had while they were opened.
Mary in TX (Amarillo, too

Comment
I know they had Krispy Kreme doughnuts in Lubbock at Wal-Mart but have not looked for them here. The Donut Stop has great donuts too. I can almost smell the donuts right now. I weigh in at Weight Watchers today and don't have time to stop to check them out at Wal-Mart (thank goodness.)

For those of you who keep asking for the Blender Cheesecake because you missed it, it was in the
May 10 newsletter, almost at the very end of the page. I didn't send it originally, but since I missed it the first time around and know others have also, I'm sending it again. There were a couple of other cheesecakes in that issue also. I'm also sending an unusual cheesecake recipe I ran across today called Beer and Cheddar Cheesecake. I found it in "More Favorite Recipes by Dear Abby" and the ingredients sound interesting.

Blender Cheesecake
16 oz. cottage cheese
8 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. sour cream
1 cup sugar
1 Tblsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1/2 cup flour

Mix all ingredients in blender in order given starting with cottage cheese and ending with flour. Mix well. Grease a 10 inch deep dish pie plate with butter and pour in cheese mix. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 325 for 40 minutes. Cool and refrigerate. No crust but you wouldn't know it.

Beer and Cheddar Cheesecake

CRUST:
1 box (6 oz.) Zwieback crackers, finely crushed
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter (1/2 cube) melted

CHEESECAKE:
4 pkgs. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
6 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/3 cup beer
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. orange extract

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In large bowl, combine Zwieback crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press onto bottom and halfway up sides of 9 inch springform pan. Chill. In large bowl, with electric mixer, beat together cream cheese and cheddar cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs and yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. At low speed, beat in beer, cream and orange extract.

Pour into chilled crust. Bake for 2 hours. Turn oven off and leave cake in oven, with door ajar, 30 minutes longer. Cool and chill overnight.
Serves 16.

For Mary in Ohio: This spaghetti sauce is remarkably good - and it is sweet. It is also different from any you've ever made, as the secret ingredient is bread & butter pickles. Don't knock it until you've tried it; everyone who eats it loves it as much as my family.

THE BEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE YOU'LL EVER EAT!
1-1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 T. olive oil
1-1/2 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T. flour
1 c. bread and butter pickles, chopped fine (measure after chopping)
2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes
6 oz. tomato paste
1 t. salt
2 t. oregano
2 t. basil
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 c. red wine (optional)

Brown ground beef and onion in oil. Add chopped garlic and fry a minute longer. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, covered, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook 15 minutes more to thicken. Serve over hot spaghetti.

You'll be sorry if you leave the pickles out of this. They are the secret that makes this the best spaghetti sauce you'll ever eat!

I have a question for Caroline from St Louis. The champagne salad sounds both easy and good, but was wondering about the amount of cool whip. I don't think I have seen a 20 ounce carton of cool whip. I just wanted to make sure of the amount before I tried making the salad.
Thanks, Karen - Il


When I moved back to Amarillo my friends were glad to see me but the person that was the most happy to see me was the Schwan's man. I use a lot of Schwan's products. They have a lot of good products that work well for me. Siggy and Ditto like their shrimp from them as well. When I need a sweet treat their Schwan's pops are fat free and have 15 calories and only 4 carbs in them. I love their Fudge sticks as well. They are only one point on Weight Watchers.

This time I got some Alaskan Salmon. Thought it sounded good and has only 100 calories and 1 carb per fillet. Does anyone have some recipes that would be good using the Alaskan salmon. I have tried them grilled on the George Foreman Grill and used a little lemon pepper on them. Another way is to grill them with a little pepper on them and squeeze a little lime juice on them. Tasted great as well. Would like other ideas too.
Nancy


Sorry for the second response in one day, but this is to answer the question from Angela in Huntsville about the pretzel salad. Both the 1/3 cup and the 1/2 cup amounts of sugar are listed in the ingredients. The 1/3 cup is mixed with the pretzels and margarine, and the 1/2 cup is mixed with the remaining ingredients. Hope you enjoy the salad. It is a favorite of ours.

Also, like many others, the bologna salad recipes brought back many memories of my family in my younger days. I still use that recipe often, only now I make chicken or turkey salad instead of the bologna. Probably the meat that we like the best fixed this way is left-over roast beef. I grind it up just like we did the bologna and use the same ingredients. It is delicious.
Karen, Il

Comment
With all the talk about meat grinders I purchased a small on at Tuesday Morning. They had small ones for $14.99 and larger ones for $29.99. Seeing all the recipes lately using the meat grinder got me in the mood to try it. I plan to make some ham salad with it later this week.
Nancy


Morning Nancy, thank you for the great newsletter!!! In response to the last newsletter for Nancy in Houston and Linda from Bayou Land, the Mr. Clean Magic Sponges are awesome!! It cleaned my glass textured shower doors up without much effort. My countertops and refrigerator was a breeze to clean! The best thing about these sponges is that our local Dollar Store carries them in a 2 pack for only $1. A small price to pay for making my chores a whole lot easier!!
Denise in SE Michigan


This is for Sue in FL.
I must have missed the newsletter that your "really easy cobbler" recipe was in.
What was the date? Nancy, you keep making this newsletter the bestest what is.
Thank you!
Fran in FL


Does anyone have a recipe for chicken wings like Ponderosa Steakhouse? I would like a good TNT recipe for wings.
Donna in Merrill


Nancy our doctor has asked us to cut back on fat. I was wondering if anyone has made the Blender Cheesecake with low fat or no fat cottage cheese, cream cheese and sour cream? I would like to have there take on how the cheesecake turned out. Either way that I make it I was going to use Splenda. We don't use sugar. Thank you Nancy. Everyone have a great day.
Susie Indy


The Blender Cheesecake recipe is in the May 10, 2006 newsletter.
