Spin-off of Squeaks' Family Recipe Collections and Nostalgia
Waxing wistful for Mom's own words has me posing this to you:
If you were to hand write, say, five recipes for your kids to remember you by, which would you include? I'll go first. A detailed recipe for making pirohy; a couple of fillings would be included; My bread and butter pickles with tips on how to efficiently wash them and the correct thickness of the slice; My cream cheese coffeecake with the notations about making six and freezing them, and the story about one of its blue ribbons; I suppose I'd have to include The Brownies; Pot roast, including cut, prep, and what to do with the leftovers. I think those are less a sign of the times than they are a sign of me. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ Check my new ride: http://www.jamlady.eboard.com |

The only thing I can think of that my kids love of mine that isn't a recipe of my mom's is my orange chicken. The others would be my mom's: Fried chicken (or, as my nephew calls it, "Nana's Famous Fried Chicken") Lasagne Pot roast Cheesecake > > I'll go first. > > A detailed recipe for making pirohy; a couple of fillings would be > included; The latest thread on pirohy made me really really want to try them for myself.

Try using 2 spatulas, or a spatula and a fork to grab one edge of the cooked white to gently turn it over, rather than "flipping". Works a treat. When I "flip" them the yolk often breaks. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Sunday, 05(V)/25(XXV)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- Countdown till Memorial Day 15mins ------------------------------------------- I'm a Fun Guy from Yuggoth. ------------------------------------------- |

OK, I'll play. (Limiting to 5 was tougher than I thought and this list would likely change if I pondered a while longer) 1. BBQ - (Which is a noun here in Jawja meaning Smoked Pulled Pork.....not the word blasphemously used for slapping (insert your meat of choice) on a grill...that would be grilling :-) Although the instructions here would be more about process than *recipe* I took liberty here because (a) this is on my top 3 most requested specialties and (b) you opened the door with the whole "efficient way to wash the cukes" comment <g> 2. Salsa - Including canning instructions of course 3. White Chocolate Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake with Macadamia Nut Crust 4. Brunswick Stew - Recipe handed down (and altered) through several generations on my Mom's side of the family 5. Tossup between White Wings and Low-Country Boil > > I think those are less a sign of the times than they are a sign of me. As it should be!

This is a toughie... 1 - Brisket 2 - Challah 3 - Potato latkes 4 - Sour cream coffee cake 5 - Turkey stuffing These are family comfort foods.. I realize the first three are variations on traditional Eastern European Jewish foods, but I don't make them at all as my mother did. boron |

Her family was from Mississippi, and in the "old south" green beans were cooked for hours, usually with some form of bacon or fatback. I like the flavor of bacon and onion with green beans, but not the long cooking. Ugh! My mother generally didn't use mushrooms in her cooking unless she was making chow mein or chop suey, then she always used those little canned button mushrooms. I didn't find them too objectional, but fresh mushrooms are remarkable by comparison. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Monday, 05(V)/26(XXVI)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- Today is: Memorial Day ------------------------------------------- I'm in shape ... round's a shape isn't it? ------------------------------------------- |

Hard farm workers (which the majority of the south was long ago) often put things on to cook while working and they let them simmer long and slow and they got so over cooked. Yet that was "home cooking" so it became much loved and passed down as the desired outcome? Or because they had been first dried and required re-hydrating, or canned which makes them softer..... ? I just think cooking so long takes so much of the flavor away that the addition of pork helped season and flavor it up again. |

There's another use for Palatschinken : Cut in stripes, they're good in bouillon. The stripes are called "Frittaten".

[snip] What if they already know how to make their favorites? When they come home they ask for the things they know but are too lazy (or have too little time) to make themselves. <g> So they "remember" me as the one who'll indulge them, as with: arroz con pollo with andouille sausage osso buco homemade egg noodles with coq au vin or beef stew spicy eggplant Then we grill steaks or go out for good Chinese. -aem |

Ok, just off the top of my head, I'd have to include: Ribs, Chicken & Dressing...along with how to pick out the best ribs and cut the chicken Standing Rib & Pot roasts...and, maybe more importantly, The Gravy. Doughnuts....the recipe isn't mine, exactly, it was the same one my grandma used, but it's a family tradition! My Green Beans- a slightly different method, steamed, then sautéed And Pie...including crusts, fillings, toppings. I don't know if I could chose just one, so I'd have to include the blackberry-apple streusel, chocolate cream, and black-bottom coconut cream pies I am sure five minutes after I click send, I'll have thought of something else or something better ;-) kimberly |

I don't know why it slipped my mind. Everyone loves it, and they always clamor for more when I make it (since I don't do it that often). Yes, from rub to grub, I'd just have to include pulled pork. kimberly |
