Is it going to snow or not?? Here - we never know. I took Michelle to Dr. Graham today (dermatologist) and he said the patient he was just with was saying how thankful he was to be here. He moved here last week from Chicago!!! We are blessed - that is for sure!!! The news just came on and now they say there is a massive snow storm heading our way! Rusk County is getting it now!!!
Thought I would post a picture of the kitchen where all of these recipes are either created or tested!!
I haven't cooked for two nights -- last night we went to Marios's and if you want the best veal in the world - that is the place to go - and Moe is so nice! It is always a pleasure to go there! Tonight we went to El Charro - another great place to eat!!! Most of the time Michelle and I share Tony's tacos -- but I had to have something hot -- so we both got the LaRosa -- only we always have them put guacamole instead of beans on compresta. I know that is not spelled right -- but that is the best I can do tonight! Well Blogger spell check didn't know how to spell it either. Well - once again - I just lost three recipes I had for you!
Here is basically what I said: Strawberry season is just around the corner and I read today the warm weather in California is allowing farmers there to have a great crop. Maybe they will cost less than $4.99 for a pint! Just can't pay that in good conscience! Hopefully they will be here for Valentines and my birthday. The one dessert I will eat is Angel Food Cake and strawberries. Here is a great strawberry pie:
FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE
1 Baked pie shell
2 Pints Fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
1 Cup Sugar
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1/8th Tsp. salt
2 or 3 Drops of Red Cake Coloring
1 Tablespoon Lemon juice.
Place berries in pie shell, point up. Crush 4 large berries; put into cup and fill with water to make one cup. Place in saucepan and bring to boil. Gradually add 1 cup sugar with three tablespoons cornstarch and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and clear. Add 1 Tablespoon lemon juice. Cool. Pour over berries in shell. Be sure to cover all berries. Serve with Cool Whip. Enjoy with someone you love!
Now I know most people love a good cup of Hot Chocolate - especially on nights like tonight. Don't you hate it when you check the cabinet and there is none there? Well make up a batch of this and it will last and last and last!
HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
1 (8 QT)Box Powdered dry milk
1 (16 Oz.) Box Nestle uik
1 (6 Oz.) jar Coffee-mate
1 Box Powdered sugar
6 Tbsp. Cocoa
Store mix in empty coffee can or Tupperware. For 1 cup cocoa, mix 1/3 cup mix and 2/3 cup water. It might not be as good as Godiva's Hot Chocolate Mix but bet you will enjoy it!!
Now I have a question for you!!! How many remember when there was an Orange Julius in the mall?? Remember the great drink they served. Well try this recipe and either relive the taste or try it and see what you missed. (Thanks to Martha Smith Swenson for this opportunity -- she had this recipe in our very first Southside Bank Cookbook - and even though there have been lots of of cookbooks since 1991 - this is my very favorite! I actually use it often!!
ORANGE JULIUS
1 (6 oz. Can Frozen orange juice
1-1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
14 ice cubes
Blend for 30 seconds in blender -- pour up and enjoy the experience!!
Hope you enjoy these recipes! I am going to try to post a link to something very interesting! Wish me luck!
