Hmm ... just noticed a recipe for something I've been wanting to make at home ... Cuban bread. But I have no bread machine. Can I borrow yours? ;-)

Guiseppe, the son of a very wealthy banker, and the son of a modest dairy farmer named Paolo.... to make a long story short, the poor kid brought the parents of Elisabetta a basket of assorted Romano cheeses, and won their approval take their daughter's hand,

*SIGH!!* I just love a romantic story with a happy ending!! ...especially when it involves cheese And you tell it so well...heheheh

#195 The apple doesn't give any flavor, rather I suppose the moisture helps to make tender.

Mmmm, I'll have to think a bit, to come up with another "gem". ;-)

#202 Buy one, Bunny, you'll love it. I make Danish coffeecakes and rolls using mine, doing the dough, then rolling and enclosing the butter; also the dough is so easy to make scrumptious cinnamon rolls. The most difficulty of making yeast breads/rolls etc, is the kneading, and the machine does it all for you. I like carlo's bread, since it is baked in the oven, and that is what I do with most of mine, since I do not like the odd shaped-loaf the bread machine makes.

#197 You're most likely correct about the juices adding flavor to the stuffing. OTOH, there is something about a big iron skillet with good bread dressing. I also see more chance of bacteria forming, if used to stuff the bird; at least that's what I've heard and read for many years.

Maybe the bacteria police are correct, LOL, but the entire idea of stuffing has a purpose in meal preparation. What is dangerous is stuffing the Turkey the day before, or leaving the stuffing in the Turkey, but only if it is airtight. I've never seen the latter, unless, of course, no one scooped out the dressing, carved the turkey, etc.

My favorite recipe is to stuff trout or bass with a stuffing of shrimp, celery, bread crumbs, etc., and we all live!

Recipe from the kitchen:

Could you please clarify this recipe?

Chicken Dems Fried Steak with Pan Gravy 1 1/2 lbs. round steak, preferably tenderized

"Pound the round steak with the side of a saucer until it flattens and tenderizes. Cut away fat, remove bone, and cut into about 4 serving pieces. "

There could be concern about a lawsuit in using a saucer to tenderize the steak. Also, does one use top or bottom round? Wouldn't one cut the fat and bone first before pounding?

"with an unbreakable saucer"? "Don't use the stolen White House china for this"?

Maybe better to say the flat side of a cleaver or a meat mallet. .

We could specify bottom round.

Hmmmmmmmm.......This recipe could be called, "The Trial Lawyers Pick the Bones Fried Steak!"
Here is a perfect example of the wonderful homespun value of our cookbook. This recipe is so modest, and oh so real that it reflected the available kitchen gadgets at hand in the south Oklahoma where it was hand written on an envelope dated 1932, mailed from Sherman Texas, and placed in an old church cookbook that  I bought from a garage sale years ago. It is apparent this was scribbled during the depression or even the dust storms in Oklahoma during the early 30's. I have not modified it, I believe, with the exception of the use of rendered pork fat, which would have made you loose it while formatting ...LOLOLOL

My only regret is I couldn't scan this recipe and many of the others I have in my collection in it's original form, and include some background on these wonderful authors. Pity is I destroyed most of them after preparing, modifying, and typing them into my data base. I really regret that now, and have kept the latest ones in a dry safe place, to give that information in any future Cookbooks I am crazy enough to try to produce.

I would recommend removal of the bones...Ha, and using top round, but the flavor and tenderizing would make bottom round just great! BTW, I am still going to use the side of a saucer to tenderize my beef, in memory of this great cook, but you could use a semi-bio-nuclear tenderizer, common in yuppie Northern California kitchens if you wish...Bwhahahhahahaha....ducking for cover!!

Oh my goodness, now we have to concern ourselves with the china used to beat the beef! Perhaps a fist will do?

Seriously, for our cooks, is one of those wooden mallets OK?

This gives a whole new meaning to "in the chips"

Dear Chef of the Future, I tried your Tofurky and mushroom gravy recipes. Pretty good even if it's not the real thing. I also made my stuffing using Boca Italian sausages(meatless, but delicious). Even my daughter's boyfriend liked it and he's not a vegan. We also made "Hillary's Lead Bottom Apple Pie" which is a favorite of ours every holiday. Today I'm sitting here with my waistband unbuttoned!!!

3250 degrees F? Wow! That must be some oven you got, Carlo. :)

OK cooking fans. Here is a recipe for making stuffed eggs. It is not BAD for you. It has been noted that eggs are effective in reducing macular degeneration!

This is a treat for all of you! Stolen Stuffed Eggs My grandpa was an immigrant who succeeded in America. As part of his plan, he purchased a ranch in CA to extend his love to his children. Part of our experience, as grandchildren, was to go to the ranch every Easter to hunt for eggs, but the best part was to learn from my older male cousins how to steal those delicious stuffed eggs Grandma made. She turned her back with a smile. In her memory, I made these eggs this Thanksgiving...out of sync, but maybe perfect sync.

For this recipe, one must know some cooking experience:
Hard boiled eggs--Tip let them cool before refrigeration
Remove yolks, and smash in a bowl with a fork
Add mayo to taste, along with salt and pepper. Use a fork to crumble the yolks, and to blend ingredients.
Use a grinder, or a fork, if that is all that is handy, and moosh the shrimp. Stir into the yolks.
Grate some green bell pepper finely grated and toss in, along with some finely chopped green onions.
Add a fine touch of curry, and Dijon mustard.

I swear these eggs are to die for! Of course, if you steal them, you may suffer the rath of my grandma....who is still smiling!

We have always referred to those eggs as Deviled Eggs. Have you heard them called that? Wife just informed me she sometimes puts a little Deviled Ham in the mix. Maybe that is why we called them Deviled Eggs.LOL
