Default Pot luck - Chorale Group



"Sunday the 19th we will meet at 4:00 to practice. We will meet at the
Joslyn Center.

We will have a potluck after practice.

Altos - bring a main course that will serve eight that means each individual
brings something to serve 8

Sopranos - bring salad or appetizer for 8 that means each individual brings
something to serve 8

Basses - bring desserts for 8 that means each individual brings something to
serve 8

Tenors we only need about three or four of you to bring bread, rolls
,butter

If you don't like your assignment bring something else


Bring your own table service we do not want to wash dishes


We can keep things warm in the oven and things cool in the refrigerator in
the kitchen"



I'm a Bass.: The Boss is a Soprano.

I'll do both. The group is about 80 or so people

I'm thinking about Original Pantry or O & V (non-Mayo) based Coleslaw and
an old fashioned Pineapple Upside-down cake w/ whipped Cream

Suggestions?

TIA

Dimitri,

Heh heh heh heh heh!

I never knew chorale groups needed such explicit guidance.

What can a poor baritone boy bring?

Got Gatorade!?!

Best,

Andy

I'd bring a big bowl of lemon mousse, using the recipe in Martha Stewart's
book Entertaining. I often swirl some tart raspberry puree through it.

There's a dish called "Cowboy Coleslaw" that a friend brought to a potluck.
I don't know why it refers to cowboys, but it is REALLY good: not your
average coleslaw. It has Granny Smiths in it, as well as other stuff. Here's
a link:

http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/rec...law64252.shtml

Bewa if you just Google it you will get other recipes with the same name
that aren't the same thing AT ALL.

Sounds good. I'm always partial to taboulleh (with or without chicken)
at a potluck. Icebox cake is always good for a potluck dessert, too.

Since you've decided to cover both the desserts of the bass section as well
as appetizers of the sopranos, I might be tempted to make savory & sweet
cream puffs to cover both areas.

Kitchen Klatter Cream Puffs
1/2 c. butter
1 c. hot water
1 c. flour
dash salt
4 med. eggs
Combine butter & hot water in heavy saucepan & stir over heat till melted &
starting to boil. Add flour & salt, beating constantly till mixture makes a
ball. Takes only a minute or so. Remove from heat & cool to medium warm.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating hard after each addition with wooden spoon
or in food processor. It is impossible to overbeat cream puff dough. Drop
onto ungreased cookie sheets making uniform mounds; 8 large, 10 medium, 12
small; depending on intended use. Bake in preheated 400° oven for 40-50
min.

I would likely add some Dijon mustard to the mini appetizer puff dough,
sprinkle the tops with poppy, sesame or celery seeds or dill weed & fill
them with a seafood or crab salad mixture or a salmon flavored cream cheese.
The mini dessert puffs could be filled with a whipped cream mixed with
strawberries & topped with a chocolate ganache or a dusting of powdered
sugar. I generally use a piping bag with a large star tip to make the mini
puffs on the baking sheet. Both puff dough tops could be brushed with an
egg wash before baking for a nice shiny glaze.

Enjoy the event!

That is the recipe from the original Betty Crocker cookbook!! It is
great.

To add a little more..... 1/2 ts garlic powder and 3/4 c shredded
extra sharp cheese and you have Gougères.

Dimitri,

Never mind the food, whatever you bring will be delicious. Let's get
down to brass tacks: what are you singing? First Bass or Second
Bass? I sang for many many years, but about five or six years ago I
got a paralyzed vocal cord. I can still carry a tune but have no
volume and my range is shot so I just hum , , , but I hum harmony!

Kris

Hey, I just signed up for a 'potluck luncheon' for a function at church and
given the option of soup, salad, dessert, bread and whatever......I signed
up for tabbouleh. It really messes up the minds of these Penna.
Dutchies.......if they can't put syrup on it, they aren't quite sure what to
do with it. That's okay. my lot is fine with leftovers.

Good for you! Always make something you'll be glad to eat later
yourself.

Did you know that the day afterward (April 20) is National Pineapple
Upside-Down Cake Day?

The oil&vinegar coleslaw also sounds like a good idea, but I have to say
that people seem to go wild for that well-circulated recipe for Asian cole
slaw with fried ramen noodles, e.g.:

Asian Style Cabbage Salad [1]

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup safflower oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 package chicken-flavored ramen noodles
1/4 cup butter
1 head Napa cabbage
4 green onions

Make the dressing: In a small saucepan, heat vinegar, pepper, soy sauce,
sugar, and safflower oil. Bring the mixture to a boil, let boil for 1
minute, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove the pan from heat and let
cool. Add the sesame oil.

Cut cabbage into ribbons. Pour dressing over cabbage. Let marinate in the
refrigerator for at least an hour, or up to a week. Toss every now and then
while marinating.

Put almonds and sesame seeds into a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir
frequently until toasted. Meanwhile, break ramen into chunks.

Dump out skillet into a bowl. Melt the butter in the skillet, then add the
ramen, cooking over medium heat until the ramen begin to brown. When ramen
are just beginning to brown, add the seasoning packet from the ramen and
stir to combine. (You are by no means obliged to use the ENTIRE packet.
Half the packet seems about right to me.) Remove ramen from skillet with a
slotted spoon and add to seed/nut mixture. If making ahead of time, store
in an airtight container.

Just before serving, chop the green onions and toss with the cabbage along
with the crunchy stuff.

NOTES:
[1] I have no idea who the originator of this recipe was. I got it from the
mother of a friend of mine, but it certainly wasn't her original creation.
It looks like something out of Family Circle magazine.

[2] If you like, you can add sunflower seeds. Toast them along with the
almonds and sesame seeds.

Well, my mother belongs to the Glendale Woman's Club (and yes, the
spelling is correct).

http://www.glendalewomansclub.org/?page=home

(Yours truly took most of the associated photos)

Anyway, the last time they provided a potluck for some sort of
sponsoring local area business group, the absolute hands down favorite
dessert was the homemade pecan pie. So much so that when one
disappointed gentleman was told that there was none left, he asked my
mom to go in back and check in the kitchen, in the back of the fridge,
onnacounta you just might find a slice that somebody saved out to take
home (!!).

No joy. He settled for apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream. I can
only hope that it won't affect the amount of next year's donation check.

Desserts:
Peach Melba (after the opera star), Mozart Cake, Mozart Cookies. Isn't
there a chocolate liqueur called "Mozart"? Maybe you could do something
with that. Opera Cake, Opera Fudge. Pavlova (a noted ballerina, but the
music connection is very strong).

Disclaimer: I haven't made any of these, but the recipes can be found on
the 'net.

I'm jealous. Our chorale never has pot luck. All we have is a vending
machine that has potato chips and other crunch, voice-attacking
snacks.

Thank you. I have that book, too. I like to attribute recipes to
their original source whenever I can.

It seems to me, I used to have a recipe for pecan pie bars/squares,
but I'm not finding it anywhere. That would be a great way to serve
pecan pie to a crowd. Does anyone have a recipe like this?

How about these? Rusty from Md


Pecan Pie Bars

2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Semisweet chocolate chips, melted, if desired

Lightly grease bottom and sides of 13x9" pan with shortening or spray
with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, butter and 1
tsp vanilla. Stir in flour. Press dough in bottom and 1/2" up sides of
pan. Bake at 350F for 15 to 17 minutes or until edges are light brown.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat brown sugar, corn syrup, 1 tsp
vanilla, salt and eggs with spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour over crust.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until set. Loosen edges from sides of pan
while warm. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 9 rows
by 4 rows. Dip 1 end of each bar into melted chocolate; lay flat on
waxed paper to dry.

Thank you very much, Rusty! The chocolate thing never would have

I can sing most of the Bass range (not basso profundo) but rarely am
comfortable as a baritone

1st was Christmas
2nd Was Scottish & Irish Combined - "Shamrocks & Heather"

This one will be "Ocean themed" about 8 specialty songs ( Tale of the
oyster e.g.) about 10 Gilbert & Sullivan, ending up with a Beach Boys & Jan
& Dean Medley

Good for you, Dimitri. I love singing. I'm not great, but I find it very
enjoyable and love listening to anyone that has the nerve to get up
there and do it. Makes me all happy inside!

Karaoke anyone?

I used to visit my brother there while he was working on his Ph.D many

Our concert is in 4 weeks. It'd take these guys 6 months to grasp the
idea and get it together. Nice voices, though.

Somehow I know this is the one you want.

PECAN BARS


Taken from Rosie's All-Butter Fresh Cream Sugar-Packed No Holds
Barred Baking Book, by Judy Rosenberg.

Pecan Bars
BASE
1-1/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c plus 2 T confectioners sugar
10 T unsalted butter, room temp, cut into 10 pieces
1 egg white for glazing
TOPPING
1/2 c (lightly packed) light brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
10 T dark corn syrup
2 large eggs, room temp
1/4 t vanilla extract
pinch salt
3 T unsalted butter, melted
1-1/2 c chopped pecans (I use more)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 9-inch square pan
with butter or vegetable oil (butter makes it too dark for me).
2. For the base, process the flour and confectioners sugar in a
food processor for several seconds. Add the butter and process until
the dough comes together, 20 to 30 seconds. (If you don't have a food
processor, just rub the butter and the dry ingredients between your
fingers until combined).
3. Pat the dough gently over the bottom of the prepared pan and
push it 1/2 inch up the sides with your thumb. Glaze it with the egg
white: pour the egg white on the dough and tip the pan from side to
side to spread the white over the surface. Pour off the excess.
4. Bake the base on the center oven rack until lightly golden
about 30 minutes (keep your eye on this one). Place the base in the
refrigerator for 15 minutes to cool completely. Keep the oven on.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the topping:
Gently whisk together both sugars, the corn syrup, eggs, vanilla and
salt in a medium sized bowl until blended.
6. Stir in the melted butter, then the nuts. Pour the topping
evenly over the base.
7. Bake until the topping is set and forms a crust, about 50
minutes.
8. Allow the bars to cools for 15 minutes on a rack, then run a
sharp knife around the sides of the pan (this is important if you want
to remove the bars from the pan within your lifetime). Cool the bars
completely and cut into squares. A cleaver or very firm knife works
best.

Thank you most kindly, sir. This one doesn't have chocolate, and the
ones I remember didn't, either. Just seems like a very efficient way
of making and serving pecan pie.
