Most requested by non-family: my toffee. Most requested by family (we
don't do many sweets): Spaghetti with TVP sauce, and caesar salad. Toffee Recipe 1/2-1 cup chopped nuts, optional (1/2 for the candy, 1/2 for the topping if you're using chocolate) 1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter 1 cup sugar 1 T corn syrup 3 T water or strong coffee 1/2 cup chocolate chips, any kind, optional Sprinkle1/2 cup chopped nuts in cookie sheet. Set aside. In heavy 2-quart saucepan, melt butter. Add sugar, water, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium to medium-high heat until mixture boils. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan; continue boiling on medium at a moderate, steady rate, stirring frequently, till thermometer registers 290F, soft-crack stage (about 15 minutes). Watch carefully after 280F to prevent scorching. Remove saucepan from heat; remove thermometer. Pour candy into the prepared pan. Let candy stand about 5 minutes or till firm; sprinkle with chocolate. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes. When chocolate has softened, spread over candy. Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup remaining nuts. Chill until firm. When candy is firm, lift it out of pan; break into pieces. Store tightly covered. Makes about 1-1/4 pounds (48 servings). serene |

It might be sweet potato muffins. I've posted the recipe here before...they're really good; kids and grownups like 'em. Or maybe beer can chicken (Cook's Illustrated, I think I've posted it here before). Or it could be brownies, but we all know whose most-requested recipe that is! Chris |

Although, a close second would be my... no wait, that's third. Uh, second would be, no wait, that's fourth. LOL Recently posted: Jill's Roasted Butternut Squash Soup 2 butternut squash (about 4 lbs.) 2 Tbs. olive oil 4 c. chicken stock or broth 2 c. water as needed 1-1/2 tsp. pepper 2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1-2 tsp. dried tarragon leaves Cut squashes in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush with olive oil and place, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Roast the squash at 350F for 1 hour until tender. Handle with an oven mitt; scoop the flesh from the shell with a spoon and place in a large mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, blend together the stock and water. Add a little minced garlic if desired. Puree the squash in a blender or food processor with the liquid in batches, adding liquid as needed, until smooth (this can also be done in the cooking pot with a stick blender). Add the salt & pepper, onion powder and tarragon. Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook over very low heat about an hour, stirring occasionally. Serves 8-10. Jill |

LOL Jill, I have to admit I have never tried this. My wife pestered me for days to try to fix a butternut squash ravioli with Asiago cheese that she found somewhere, cause she knows I'm stupid enough to waste my time on it, just to see if it works. I think it's way too close to pumpkin for me - I would rather die than eat pumpkin. Yeah, Barb - It's WAY worse than beets. |

It's rich enough to kill! :-) * Exported from MasterCook * Mrs. Flora Hale's Chess Pie Recipe By : Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 cups granulated sugar 1 tablespoon cornmeal 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 6 each egg yolks 12 ounces evaporated milk -- (1 large can) 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/4 pound unsalted butter -- melted 1 pinch Nutmeg 1 each pie crust, homemade Adjust oven rack to its lowest position and preheat oven to 425°F. Combine sugar, corn meal, and flour in a medium bowl. Gradually blend in egg yolks and evaporated milk using a fork or whisk. Do not beat the mixture, but blend thoroughly and gently. Blend in vanilla, followed by the melted butter and nutmeg. Do not sprinkle nutmeg on top. Pour filling into pie shell. If you have a pie shield, use it. If not, cover edge of pastry with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then lower temperature to 375°F. Make a foil tent to cover entire pie and continue baking for an additional 40-45 minutes until top is puffed and golden brown, and a silver knife comes out clean when inserted in middle of pie. Remove pie to a cooling rack and allow to cool to almost room temperature before serving. Leftovers should be stored in refrigerator. Due to the high sugar and fat content, it is imperative to shield the entire pie during baking. The pie will overbrown or even burn if not shielded. -- Wayne Boatwright ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day. Sam Goldwyn, 1882-1974 |

In one little bowl measure in 6 fenugreek seeds, 1/4 teas whole cumin, a scant 1/4 teas fennel seeds, 1/4 teas brown mustard seed, 1/8 teas kalonji and a bay leaf. In another little bowl measure out 1/4 teas cayenne, a teas salt, and 1 1/2 teas gur (or dark brown sugar, or light brown sugar with a drop of black strap molasses). Heat a pan with a tight fitting lid to hot! Add 2-3 T mustard oil, swirl, add the first bowl of spices, cover. When the mustard has started popping, dump in the slightly drained toms, and clap the lid back on. When it stops "roaring", open up, stir, add the other ingredients, stir, cover and simmer 7 minutes. |

Amarantha's Mountain of Nachos
for cooking: a couple of onions a couple of eggplants, or one really big one a few zucchini half a dozen large yellow chillies as many hot chillies as you like a large bag of mushrooms one or two tomatoes for layering: corn chips salsa sour cream grated cheese Heat some oil in a large pot. Chop and add vegetable ingredients in the order listed above, stirring with each addition. The eggplant especially should be chopped fairly thinly (half a centimetre/quarter inch slices) and may need more oil added with it. Once the tomatoes have been added to the pot it's pretty much ready - a horrible-looking grey muck that smells and tastes great. Get a plate, add a layer of corn chips, a few big serving spoons of vegies, a layer of salsa, a layer of sour cream and lots of cheese. Eat with fork and fingers. Warning: this dish is deceptively large. I've had friends use a bread and butter plate so as not to get too much and even then, when they'd finished layering, they were alarmed at the amount of food they'd ended up with > K -- nil illegitimi carborundum |
