Yep, we're getting rain here today, not quite so much as some places, but enough.

I’ve never made carrot and raisin salad. It sounds delicious.
That sounds good. It reminds me of a recipe that I had from my aunt. Using a fork to poke holes in cake and then pouring orange or lemon flavored mixture over it.
I’m going to have to dig up that recipe and refresh my memory. We are going to do a family recipe exchange in a couple of weeks. So both of these Ideas will be great to pass along.
This sounds really good and easy. Thanks for sharing. I’m adding this to my family recipe exchange coming up in a couple of weeks.
That sounds good and easy, too!
Another easy frosting recipe.
2 boxes instant pudding mix (your favorite flavor....our family like chocolate)
Mix with 2 cups milk ‘til thickened
Stir in 2 tubs cool whip until well blended.
Can frost a 9x13” cake.
You do have to keep it refrigerated. Very easy which is what I like.
Wow, the chicken with Grapefruit and Miso sounds interesting!

Chef Vongerichten and his wife did a great show for PBS called ‘Kimchi Chronicles’. I’ve especially enjoyed it because I learned to love Korean food through Korean-American friends feeding me their home cooking ;-)

STONE SOUP
Seem to remember a few weeks ago someone asking for a recipe for STONE SOUP. Sorry, do not remember who that might have been. Came across a recipe here if still interested.

Thanks for the site. I did not see this PBS series, but appreciate getting the recipes. Both of them are great chefs. Their cookbooks are terrific.I have tried to get to any restaurant he owns, if I am in the area, as the food is always so interesting, very good and looks great on the plate!

Thanks so much-watching now. Now want to go to Korea!
Here’s the sweet and sour pork we had last night. Raves all around. It’s from the Betty Crocker’s Chinese Cookbook by Leeann Chin but tweaked as hers is too salty and too much sauce. I’ve had it forever and is the go to for Chinese food. Amazon has it for a penny - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=betty+crocker%27s+chinese+cookbook
Sweet and Sour Pork
2 lbs pork cut into pieces
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 T cornstarch
2 T veg oil
1 t salt
1 t soy sauce
1/4 t pepper
Stir all together and let sit 30 minutes.
Heat oil for frying. Stir remaining ingredients into the meat mixture. Fry. Drain.
For sauce, heat first nine ingredients. Dissolve corn starch into water and add to sauce. Thicken.
Serve over rice.
No meat.. but I love it.

My mom used to add chopped walnuts; and sometime she would use almonds instead.
That’s so funny. I always thought ‘stone soup’ was a joke ;-)

I’m glad to have that; it’s my second-favorite Chinese Restaurant dish. (First is Egg Foo Yung (sp?), which my dad learned to like after WWII, when he was stationed in California. As soon as we got a Chinese restaurant at home, he ordered it all the time.)

JT - ditto here :
Surprised to stumble across this. Looks as though it originated in England years ago. This fact deduced by the site name. vk
I wondered what the stone was for; and thought that the recipe may have intended that the stone would hold heat in for a while, after the fire was out (???)
But, here’s the ‘Wiki’ on the recipe (it’s apparently an old folk story):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Soup
Anyhow: the soup looks tasty and nutritious :-)
