the dough a little, so that it is easier to handle. Drop by the

Pizza isn't even Italian, anymore than chow mein is Chinese. Both innovations were to suit the American palate, more used to blander foods.

Ahhhh, what do i hear? Pizza is indeed italian, it was born here and it was a typical poor dish, for all those people who didn't have the money to have a complete alimentation... actually, in the Renaissance it existed, but of course there wasn't the tomato on it, which was added after the product started to be imported and be coltivated in Italy a lot... so, the Pizza Margherita born, which was dedicated to the Queen Margherita, a queen of the Italy Reign, capital of which was Naples http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

1/2 small Onion, finely chopped
2 Egg Whites or 1/4 cup Passover Egg Substitute
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt

Divide the dough into 6 balls and flatten each.

Spoon a little broccoli evenly onto each circle, fold over,
and press edges to seal.

Generously coat a baking sheet with the cooking spray. Arrange
the knishes in a single layer and place the baking sheet on the
bottom rack of the oven.

Bake for 15 minutes on each side.

Enjoy hot from the oven.

I had the wrong info all these years... Apparently, Greeks were the first to eat foodstuffs on top of a flat bread...

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>Ancient Greeks ate a flat, baked bread with assorted toppings called plankuntos. This flatbread may have been a derivative of something Babylonians ate in earlier centuries.
While originally thought to be poisonous, Spaniards who had been to Mexico and Peru introduced the tomato to Italy in the 16th century.
The original mozzarella cheese was made from the milk of Indian water buffalo in the 7th century. It was introduced to Italy in the 18th century.
The world's first true pizzeria may have been "Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba" which opened in 1830 and is still in business today at Via Port'Alba 18 in Naples.
Italian and Greek peasants ate earlier forms of pizza for several centuries before it became a hit among aristocracy. In 1889, a Neapolitan named Rafaele Esposito prepared pizza for King Umberto I and Queen Margherita, who apparently loved it.
An Italian immigrant named Gennaro Lombardi opened the first U.S. pizzeria in 1895 in New York City.
Pizza is now consumed all over the world, though travelers are often amazed by how different cultures have adapted pizza to their own preferences.

"It's kind of silly to talk about anyone "inventing" pizza. Pizza has undergone a very slow process of evolution over the centuries, but it is quite certainly the cultures of the Mediterranean that deserve credit for creating it. Historical records suggest that people in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome all ate things that are very similar to our modern pizza crust. Ancient Egyptians had a custom of celebrating the Pharaoh's birthday with a flat bread seasoned with herbs, and Herodotus, a Greek historian described Babylonian recipes that are very similar to contemporary pizza crust. The word pizza may be a derivative of the Latin word picea, a word which the Romans used to describe the blackening of bread in an oven."

Babka

Preparation Time: about 30 minutes but must monitor the rising
Cooking Time: 30 to 40 minutes
Serves: makes 2 loaves
Cal: unknown

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 pkg Active Dry Yeast (.25 oz)
1 C (250ml) Water, warm
8 C (980g) Flour
3 Eggs, beaten
4 Egg Yolks, reserve the whites
1 C (200g) Sugar
2 C (500ml) Milk, warmed
1 T Orange Zest
1 C (225g) Butter, melted
1 C (125ml) Raisins[/list]

In a small mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the
warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let stand about
10 minutes until foamy.

In a very large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, 2 cups of
the flour, the 3 whole eggs, 4 egg yolks, sugar, milk and
orange zest; mix well.

Add the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until the
dough comes together.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and
knead until smooth and supple, about 5 minutes.

Flatten the dough out with your hands and dot
1/3 cup of the butter on the dough.

Fold up the dough and knead gently to incorporate the
butter into the dough.

Repeat with another 1/3 cup and then
with the last 1/3 cup of butter, until all of the
butter is incorporated.

Again flatten the dough with your hands and sprinkle with
the raisins. Fold up and knead to incorporate the raisins.

Lightly oil a large mixing bowl.

Place the dough in the bowl and turn the dough to lightly coat
with oil.

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let stand in a warm
place until doubled in volume; about 1 hour.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide
into two equal size pieces. Form each piece into a loaf
and place them in two lightly greased 9x5 in (23x12cm) loaf
pans.

Again cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place
until doubled, about 40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).

Brush the tops of the loaves with egg whites (you will
not use all 4 of the egg whites...just a nice brushing will do)
and bake at 350F (180C) for 30 to 40 minutes, until the top of the
loaves are golden and the loaves sound hollow when tapped.

Enjoy!

COLEMAN PRIME RIB ROAST
Makes: approximately 8-12 six-ounce cooked portions

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>4-5 pound Coleman Natural Prime Rib Roast (or ask the market manager
for the equivalent)
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons rosemary leaves
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon black pepper[/list]

Place the roast in a shallow roasting pan and allow it to "rest" out
of the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Combine the remaining ingredients. Rub the meat surface with olive
oil mixture. Place the roast in a preheated oven for 15 minutes or
until the roast begins to brown. This will sear the roast and seal
the juices. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue cooking for
15-18 minutes per pound for a boneless roast or 26-32 minutes per
pound for a bone-in roast. A meat thermometer is desirable to test
the degree of doneness. Remove the roast when the thermometer reads 5
degrees below the desired doneness. Remove from the oven and allow
meat to rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Kentucky Fried Chicken (from Woman's Day Magazine)

Serves: 4

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 whole chicken -- cut up
3 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons fines herbes -- (blend in a jar) recipe at the bottom of
the page
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 envelopes chicken broth -- instant
1/4 teaspoon seasoned pepper
1 cup flour
oil -- for frying[/list]

Cover the chicken with water and salt in a medium bowl. Chill at
least one hour. Whirl the herbs and spices in a blender or grind with
a mortar and pestle until very fine and combine with the flour in a
plastic bag. Remove the chicken, a few pieces at a time from the
water and shake in flour mixture until thickly coated. Heat 1 inch of
oil to 375 degrees. Fry chicken pieces, a few at a time, making sure
the thicker pieces are completely done. Drain on paper towels and
keep warm in the oven if you like.

NOTES : The original recipe calls for the fried chicken to be placed
in a new pan with 1 cup of chicken broth and simmered, covered for 15
minutes till chicken is tender. This makes soggy chicken! I prefer to
boil the chicken pieces ahead of time, remove from water, dip in
flour mixture, fry. We like the chicken to be crispy like the real
Kentucky Fried Chicken. This recipe really does taste like KFC
Chicken!

Fine Herbs

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 tablespoon each -
marjoram
parsley
sage
savory (optional)
thyme
celery seed
lemon peel[/list]

Blend or pulverise. Store in a bottle tightly capped.

RESURRECTION ROLLS II

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>Large Marshmallows
Melted Butter
Sugar/Cinnamon Mixture
Cans of crescent rolls[/list]

Open the can of crescent rolls and separate into triangles. The rolls
represent the linen wrapping used in rolls represent the linen
wrapping used in covering the dead. Dip and roll one marshmallow,
representing Jesus' body, into melted butter. The butter represents
the oils used in anointing the dead body. Roll the marshmallow in
the sugar and cinamon mixture. The mixture represents the spices used
in burials. Place the marshmallow in the center of the crescent
triangle. Fold and pinch the edges tight. Put each crescent-wrapped
marshmallow on a slightly greased cookie sheet. Bake the rolls as
directed on the package. The oven represents the tomb. When cooked,
the marshmallow melts leaving only the puffed crescent roll. This
demonstrates how Jesus rose from the dead. All that remained in the
tomb were the linen wrappings.

Balsamic Vinegar Mayonnaise
A must with poached salmon.

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>2 large egg yolks
the juice of 1/2 a lemon or to taste
2 tblsp Venturi-Schulze balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
enough vegetable oil to make a thick mayonnaise (1 to 2 cups)
salt and white pepper to taste[/list]

Put the egg yolks and the mustard in a bowl and whisk thoroughly
together. Start adding the oil drop by drop at first, then in a
stream as you keep beating with the whisk. When you have a very thick
sauce, the consistency of sour cream or thicker, add the lemon, the
balsamic vinegar and the salt and pepper. Beat again until smooth.
Whisk in more oil if the sauce is too thin or runny.
This is excellent with boiled meats and poached or baked west coast
salmon, or on paper thin slices of raw beef tenderloin, together with
a good amount of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and
additional balsamic vinegar.

Mushrooms and Cream

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 lb. small whole fresh mushrooms, well cleaned
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup aromatic white wine
50 g unsalted butter
2 tblsp Venturi-Schulze balsamic vinegar
1 tblsp all purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste[/list]

Melt half the butter in a heavy skillet and when it starts foaming,
throw in the whole mushrooms. Keep simmering, shaking the pan, until
the mushrooms are nicely browned. Add the salt, pepper and wine and,
over low heat, simmer until the liquid has reduced to less than half.
Now, sprinkle the flour on the mushrooms and stir quickly to prevent
sticking. After a minute or so, add the cream and cook, stirring
frequently for another couple of minutes. Turn the heat off and stir
in the rest of the butter cut into small chunks. Stir in the balsamic
vinegar and serve immediately. Goes well with meat main dishes and
fried fare or poured thickly over pasta with generous sprinklings of
freshly-grated parmesan cheese.

tomato slice. Cut the fresh mozzarella into twelve 1/4-inch-thick
slices.

ASSEMBLE THE STACK: Place the base of each tomato in the center of 4
medium-sized plates. Alternate stacking the tomato and mozzarella
slices, seasoning the tomato slices with salt. Make 4 small bouquets
composed of a sprig of basil and a few leaves of Mesclun. Tuck each
bouquet into the carved hole of each tomato top. Drizzle each plate
with 1 tablespoon of the reduced vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive
oil. Garnish with a sprinkling of julienned basil and sea salt.

"Easter Story" Cookies

To be made the evening before Easter.

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 cup whole pecans
1 teaspoon vinegar
3 egg whites
A pinch salt
1 cup sugar
A zipper baggie
A wooden spoon
Tape
Bible
Your children[/list]

Preheat oven to 300 F.
Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children
beat them with the wooden spoon to break into
small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was
arrested He was beaten by the Roman soldiers.
Read John 19:1-3.

Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 teaspoon
of vinegar into mixing bowl. Explain that when
Jesus was thirsty on the cross, He was given
vinegar to drink. Read John 19:28-30.

Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life.
Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us life.
Read John 10:10-11.

Sprinkle a little salt into each child's hand. Let
them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl.
Explain that this represents the salty tears
shed by Jesus' followers, and the bitterness
of our own sin. Read Luke 23:27.

So far the ingredients are not very appetizing.
Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that the sweetest
part of the story is that Jesus died because
He loves us. He wants us to know and belong
to Him. Read Psalms 34:8 and John 3:16.

Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15
minutes until stiff peaks are formed. Explain
that the color white represents the purity in
G-d's eyes of those whose sins have been
cleansed by Jesus. Read Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3.

Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto
wax paper covered cookie sheet. Explain
that each mound represents the rocky tomb
where Jesus' body was laid. Read Matthew 27:57-60.

Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the
door and turn the oven OFF. Give each
child a piece of tape and seal the oven door.
Explain that Jesus' tomb was sealed.
Read Matthew 27:65-66.

GO TO BED!
Explain that they may feel sad to leave the
cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus'
followers were in despair when the tomb was
sealed. Read John 16:20 and 22.

On Easter morning, open the oven and give
everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked
surface and take a bite. The cookies are
hollow! On the first Easter Jesus' followers
were amazed to find the tomb open and empty.
Read Matthew 28:1-9.

HE HAS RISEN!!!!

Italian Easter Bread
Makes 1 loaf

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Salt
1 pk Dry yeast
2 1/2 To 3-1/2 cups unbleached flour
2/3 c Milk
2 tb Butter
2 Eggs, at room temperature
1/2 c Mixed candied fruit
1/3 c Chopped blanched almonds.
1/2 ts Anise seed
2 tb Melted shortening
5 Uncooked eggs colored with Easter Egg Dye[/list]

ICING:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 c Confectioner's sugar
1 tb Milk
1/8 ts Vanilla
Colored sprinkles[/list]

Preparation:
In a large mixing bowl, blend the sugar, salt, and yeast well with 1
cup of the flour. In a saucepan, combine milk and butter, heating
slowly until liquid is warm and butter is melted. Pour the milk into
the dry ingredients and beat 125 strokes with a wooden spoon. Add eggs
and 1/2 cup flour or enough to make a thick batter. beat vigorously
for 2 minutes.

Then stir in enough flour to make a ball of dough that draws away
from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a floured board and knead
for about 10 minutes, working in additional flour to overcome stick-
iness. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and put in a warm, draft-free place
until doubled in bulk about 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine the fruit,nuts,
and anise seed. Punch down the dough and return it to a lightly
floured board. Knead in the fruit mixture, keeping the syrupy pieces
dusted with flour until they are worked into the dough.

Divide the dough in half. Carefully roll each piece into a 24 inch
rope - the fruit and nuts will make this slightly difficult. Loosely
twist the two ropes together and form a ring on a greased baking
sheet. Pinch the ends together well. Brush the dough with melted
shortening. Push aside the twist to make a place for each egg.

Push eggs down carefully as far as possible. Cover the bread with
wax paper and let rise in a warm,draft-free place until double in
bulk, about 1 hour. Bake the bread in a preheated 350 F oven for about
35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a twist comes out clean.
Place on a wire rack to cool. Once the bread is cool, drizzle the
icing on top between the eggs, and decorate with colored sprinkles.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I know what you mean, although
for my tastes I'll go with those cool, rice
krispy treats myself!-http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

Meantime, here's a recipe for "MATZOH BRY"--
(or BRIE):

1. Pour 2 eggs in a bowl
2. Take 1 piece of Matzoh & break it into
small pieces, mixing it with the 2 eggs.
3. Put some butter or margarine in a pan on
medium flame.
4. After the butter has melted, simply pour
the eggs/matzoh in the pan.
5. If you like crispy dishes as I do, just
wait a few minutes before serving without
turning the eggs/matzoh over--(i.e. you should basically see the matzoh pieces above the eggs).

"Enjoy"!!

Taco Pie
Serves: 4

2 pks of taco seasoning (I prefer mild McCormick)
1 can of refried beans
1 pk of sharp shredded cheese
1 bag of tortilla chips (white corn)
salsa and sour cream (served on side)[/list]

Preparation:
Brown ground chuck and drain fat, add water about a cup and a half
(you want a little moisture or it will dry out in the oven). Add taco
seasoning and the can of refried beans, let simmer on low for about 10
to 15 minutes. Take a casserole dish, depending on the size of your
dish you may need two dishes, break up a good-sized layer of tortilla
chips on the bottom of the dish. When the sauce is completed pour
over top of the tortilla chips, don't worry if it looks a little
watery, put a thick layer of cheese on top of the sauce. To cook in
the oven, you put the aluminum foil on loosely and cook on 350
degrees until cheese is melted. (Remember the meat sauce has already
been cooked so you're not risking eating uncooked meat).

***You can also layer it like a lasagna, ending with the cheese on
top...makes it a bit diffetent.***

Grape Wine Recipe

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>2-12oz.cans frozen grape juice
3 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
1/3 cake yeast (Flesihmanns is best)
1 large Ballon and some strong string
1 gallon jug [/list]

Preparation:
First , set the grape juice out to thaw, until slushy. Next, mix
the sugar thourorghly in with the grape juice. Pour the sugar
and juice into the gallon jug.

Desolve the yeast in a cup of luckwarm* water and add to
the juice mixture in the gallon jug (*If water is too warm, it
will kill the active ingredient in the yeast that causes
fermantation.) Mix everything thouroughly. Now add just
enough lukewarm water to fill the gallon jug up to about 2
inches below the neck. When this is done, place the
balloon over the top of the neck and secure tightly with string.
Note! This must be an air tight fit.... If you have followed all
of the directions carefully, the balloon will soon start to expand
with the gas, caused by the fermentaation. Store the mixture
in a cool (but not cold) area, 60 to 75 degrees is ideal, for a
period of 3 to 6 weeks.

Check the balloon every day. If the balloon expands
too large, untie and allow the gas to escape and then retie it,
but be sure to retie it tightly to make it air tight again. When
the balloon ceases to expand, the wine is done.

NOTICE: Do Not bottle the wine before it is done. Working
wine (fermenting) can explode a bottle from the gas
pressure of fermentation.

Strain your wine with a cheese cloth or a tea towel and pour
into a bottle, using a snap-on type of cap or use a cork.
Store bottles on their sides in a cool, dark place.

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 or 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 or 2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper
1 or 2 tablespoons finely chopped red pepper or
you can substitute pimento **
dash of seasoned salt (optional)
about 1/2 cup chopped nuts to roll cheeseball in
-walnuts,pecans, almonds. In a pinch I have used peanuts.
1 maraschino cherry,rinsed and drained to put on top of cheeseball
OR 1 green olive.

**You can also use a seasonal pick for top of cheeseball such as
Santa,bunny,flag, etc.

**If you are out of peppers you can use 1 or 2 tablespoons vegetable
flakes to your taste [/list]

Preparation:
Place room temperature cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Add all
ingredients except nuts and cherry or olive.Mix together until
blended well. Shape cheese in to ball or log. Put chopped nuts in
bowl big enough to roll cheeseball or log in.Roll cheeseball/log in
nuts until evenly covered. Place cheeseball/log in pretty serving
dish. If using this for a picnic a water proof plastic container
works well.Can pack it right in a cooler. Make a thumb print centered
on top of cheeseball. If this a cheese log,make several thumb prints
evenly spaced down length of log. Place cherry or olive in thumb print
(s). Or use a seasonal pick(s). Cover and refrigerate. Take out of
fridge or cooler about 15-20 minutes before serving so it will spread
easier. Best if "aged" overnight to blend flavors. Spread on
crackers. Enjoy! Recipe may be doubled.

spreadable paste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Be careful with the
salt because of the amount of parmesan cheese that is already in
the stuffing.

The Churros
Here's the ultimate recipe to make your own churros at home, just
like they were at the churrería stands. Of course, the difference
here is price. Here you can make a whole batch for what is cost for a
few. Once you make the churros, you can make the authentic chocolate
dip to dunk them in.

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>Vegetable or Olive Oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)[/list]

Preparation:
Prepare to fry the churros by heating oil in a pan (1 to 1&1/2
inches) to 360 degrees F.To make churro dough, heat water, margarine
and salt to rolling boil in 3-quart saucepan; stir in flour. Stir
vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute;
remove from heat. Beat eggs all at once; continue beating until
smooth and then add to saucepan while stirring mixture.
Spoon mixture into cake decorators' tube with large star tip (like
the kind use to decorate cakes). Squeeze 4-inch strips of dough into
hot oil. Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning
once, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. (Mix Sugar
and the optional cinnamon); roll churros in sugar or dump the sugar
on the pile of churros, like the pros. That churro taste will take
you right back to your favorite summer days walking the paseos of
Spain.

Note: REAL churros in Spain are made without cinnamon mixed with the
sugar, but the cinnamon adds an extra nice flavor.

Triple Pepper Steak
This dish was made for meat lovers! Beef is sliced and
seared in a wok, then tossed with a robust brown sauce
filled with colorful bell peppers.
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

Marinade
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>2 tablespoons oyster-flavored sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain ( we use top
round or sirloin)[/list]

Sauce
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1/3 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1/2 each green, red, and yellow bell peppers, julienned
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 teaspoons water
1/2 fresh jalapeno chile, sliced (optional)[/list]

Preparation:
Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add beef and stir to
coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl.

Cooking:
Place a wok over high heat until hot. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil,
swirling to coat sides. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring,
until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add beef and stir-fry until no
longer pink, 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove meat from pan.
Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to wok, swirling to coat sides.
Add bell peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add water and stir-fry
until peppers are tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Return meat to
wok and add sauce; bring to a boil. Add cornstarch solution and
cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens.Serve with white rice.


Pepper Prep
Cut off the top and bottom of the pepper. Next, make a single
cut along the side, to open the pepper. Pull out and discard the
central core of membranes and seeds. Now lay the pepper, skin
side down, on a cutting board, spreading it out flat.

Holding a sharp knife or cleaver flat against the pepper, trim
away any remaining membrane. You now have a long flat
rectangle that's easy to slice crosswise.

the onions are wilted, about 10 minutes. Add the drained beans, brown
sugar, molasses, Dijon mustard, dry mustard, horseradish, chili
sauce or tomato sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to mix well.
Add enough beef stock or water to just cover the beans. Cover the pot
and place in the oven. Cook for 4 hours. Stir every hour and check
the stock level, adding more as needed.

TO SERVE: Remove the lid and continue baking adding more stock or
water to keep the beans moist) for 2 hours longer, or until the beans
are tender and the color of deep caramel.Cover and let the beans sit
for 15 minutes before serving.

Stuffed Flounder

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 whole flounder
1 cup butter, divided
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cups chicken-flavored dry bread stuffing mix
1 (6 ounce) can lump crabmeat
1 (4 ounce) can small shrimp, liquid reserved
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning or to taste
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (optional) [/list]

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 300 Lay the fish down dark side up.
Make an incision next to the backbone on both sides,
stopping before the head and tail. Slip the knife in between
the flesh and backbone and run the knife down the ribs
on both sides of the backbone.

Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Saute the onion and celery in the butter until just tender.
Place the stuffing mix into a bowl, and stir the onion and
celery into it along with the butter in the pan. Mix in the crab
and shrimp with their juices, adding a little more liquid, or more
stuffing to get a good consistency.

Melt the remaining butter, and brush some of it onto a
cookie sheet. Stuff the stuffing mixture into the pockets
of the flounder, and place the stuffed fish on the cookie sheet.
Brush the outside of the fish with melted butter, and season
with the Old Bay and if desired, Cajun seasoning.
Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven,
or just until the flounder flakes easily with a fork.

Bacon Wrapped BBQ Shrimp
Serves: Makes 16

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 slices bacon
barbeque seasoning, to taste
Old Bay Seasoning, optional[/list]

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450° F (230° C).
Wrap each shrimp with 1/2 slice of bacon, and then secure it with a
toothpick. Large shrimp are best for this recipe as the cooking time
for the shrimp and the bacon is similar. If you use medium-sized
shrimp, precook the bacon a little, otherwise you’ll find that the
shrimp will be overcooked and become tough and rubbery.
Line a pan (a jelly roll pan works well) with extra heavy-duty foil;
place a baking rack in the pan. The rack will keep the shrimp from
sitting in the draining bacon fat. Place the shrimp on the rack, and
sprinkle heavily with the barbecue seasoning (for added spice if you
like sprinkle very lightly with a little Old Bay seasoning on one
side), turn and sprinkle the opposite side. Let the shrimp sit for 15
minutes. The bacon will turn from creamy white to a little opaque,
and the seasonings will soak in.
Cook the bacon wrapped shrimp for 10 to 15 minutes.

Babka
Preparation Time: about 30 minutes but must monitor the rising
Cooking Time: 30 to 40 minutes
Serves: makes 2 loaves
Cal: unknown

Ingredients
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 pkg Active Dry Yeast (.25 oz)
1 C (250ml) Water, warm
8 C (980g) Flour
3 Eggs, beaten
4 Egg Yolks, reserve the whites
1 C (200g) Sugar
2 C (500ml) Milk, warmed
1 T Orange Zest
1 C (225g) Butter, melted
1 C (125ml) Raisins[/list]

In a small mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the
warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let stand about
10 minutes until foamy.

In a very large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, 2 cups of
the flour, the 3 whole eggs, 4 egg yolks, sugar, milk and
orange zest; mix well.

Add the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until the
dough comes together.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and
knead until smooth and supple, about 5 minutes.

Flatten the dough out with your hands and dot
1/3 cup of the butter on the dough.

Fold up the dough and knead gently to incorporate the
butter into the dough.

Repeat with another 1/3 cup and then
with the last 1/3 cup of butter, until all of the
butter is incorporated.

Again flatten the dough with your hands and sprinkle with
the raisins. Fold up and knead to incorporate the raisins.

Lightly oil a large mixing bowl.

Place the dough in the bowl and turn the dough to lightly coat
with oil.

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let stand in a warm
place until doubled in volume; about 1 hour.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide
into two equal size pieces. Form each piece into a loaf
and place them in two lightly greased 9x5 in (23x12cm) loaf
pans.

Again cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place
until doubled, about 40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).

Brush the tops of the loaves with egg whites (you will
not use all 4 of the egg whites...just a nice brushing will do)
and bake at 350F (180C) for 30 to 40 minutes, until the top of the
loaves are golden and the loaves sound hollow when tapped.

cream, simply double this recipe.

1-3 T Confectioners' Sugar (optional)
1/2 tea - 2 T Real Vanilla or Sweet Liqueur (optional)[/list]

cream will approximately double in volume. Do not over beat or
you will get the beginnings of butter!

Using an electric mixer or beater whip the cream until soft
peaks form.

During the mixing process slowly add the optional ingredients,
if you desire a slightly sweeter flavor.

The mixing process will go quickly.

The whipped cream will keep in the fridge for several hours.

Braciole (Bree-Zshole)
Have your Spaghetti sauce made ahead of time !
Serves: This recipe should yield approximately 7 to 10 Braciole Rolls

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 lb "Round Steak" or 1lb "London Broil"
(Get the 1 lb "Round Steak" or 1 lb "London Broil" cut into
very thin 1/4" slices.)
1/2 cup bread crumbs ("Progresso" is good)
Fresh Parsley
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (fresh grated recommended)
(3) cloves Fresh Garlic - You can never have to much garlic
Coarse Black Pepper and Salt
Olive Oil for searing [/list]

Procedure:
Take the meat slices and lay them on wax paper. Now pound the heck out
of them, you need a meat pounder for this part. Or the edge of a
plate. The pieces will end up larger after pounding and you may have
to cut them in half and do some trimming. You want the pieces
approximately 7"x3" and relatively rectangular in shape, sometimes
when you slice the meat you may get some slices that come to a point,
you will have to cut those ends off, it becomes a problem when you
start to roll the meat. You have your 7"x3" rectangular slices of
meat, Chop some fresh parsley, about 1/4 to 1/2 cup, Grate some fresh
Parmesan cheese, about 1/4 cup, and Chop 3 cloves of garlic as fine
as you can. Sprinkle on the meat a little finely chopped fresh
garlic ( press the garlic into the meat), some bread crumbs, fresh
parsley and fresh Parmesan cheese, then add a dash of salt and black
pepper. Make sure it's evenly spread out on the meat.
Now you're ready to roll up the meat. Roll the meat as tight as you
can and tie it up with some very strong twine. (Like you tie up
chickens). You will need about three pieces of string for each piece.
You want to tie it well enough to hold it all together. Make sure to
leave long pieces of string hanging off the knot you make so you can
find the string after cooking. If you don't have strong twine, it
will fall apart during the searing process. Now that you have all
you're meat rolled up, tied up and ready to go,you sear the meat in a
very hot pan. Take them right from the frying pan into the sauce.

***NOTE Very Important!
When frying the Braciole you MUST have a very good Non-Stick pan.
Believe me, this helps! You may want to prepare the Braciole in
advance and put them in the refrigerator. You will have to make the
Braciole several times before you get it just right. You'll have to
play around with the ingredients to add to the meat and the size of
the roll. You don't want the rolls too thick or you will have to cook
your sauce longer. Cook in spaghetti sauce until tender, and you can
cut with a fork. Cook your spaghetti, make a big loaf of garlic
bread, and a salad, and enjoy !
