Suzie in NW Michigan wrote, "Graham Kerr.....my mom loved him!"

Forty years ago my young son loved to watch Graham Kerr when he was sick at home with tonsil infections. (The problem ended with tonsil removal, but his interest in cooking persisted.)

In high school he approached the chef at an expensive local restaurant to work for free in order to learn to cook. After a few months he was hired part-time until he graduated.

He then went on to cook in restaurants in several states to finance his college degree. He has been a mechanical engineer for many years, but still loves to cook. Thanks, Graham Kerr

Nancy, I sure hope your unpacking is coming along ok! That part always seems to take the longest, because you are putting your things in different places in a different home. The time before last when we moved down here, we had the movers put all the boxes in the garage and I brought in 2 or 3 at a time and unpacked. That way, the house wasn?t cluttered with boxes. It worked out very well!
Hugs, Chris in NM

I want to thank Barbara in AL., Marti in AL., Dee in S. Ill., Grannygirl in Ohio and Athena in DE. for responding to my request several days ago in the newsletter for crockpot potato recipes. I really appreciate your help, and have printed all the recipes out, and intend to try them all in time. Not sure which one I'll make for my son's birthday dinner, as all sounds wonderful! I want to share my favorite fresh peach pie recipe with everyone. It is a bit time consuming, but absolutely the
very BEST fresh peach pie I've ever tasted, and I'm sure you'll agree!

Fresh Peach Pie
Pastry for a two-crust 9 inch pie.
Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar. Cover 5
cups sliced fresh peaches with sugar mixture in a large bowl. Let stand
about 1 hour at room temperature. Drain, reserving juice.
Combine in a small saucepan:
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
Gradually add reserved peach juice, blending until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and clear. Remove from heat. Add 1 tsp. lemon juice and sliced peaches. Turn into a unbaked pie shell and dot with 1 tbsp. butter. Make lattice top out of remaining pastry. Brush pastry strips with milk. Bake at 450? for 10 minutes, then at 350? for 20 to 25 minutes. Delicious served slightly warm, topped with vanilla ice cream.

This was featured on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens when I was a teenager, and I've been making it ever since.

I would like to see if anyone has a recipe for 1 minute boiled icing. A friend gave me the recipe some years back, but in my moving, I have lost -or misplaced it. I can't ask her for the recipe. It did not have confectioner's sugar, just granulated sugar and had buttermilk powder mixed with water (you could use buttermilk), butter and vanilla. I can't remember the amounts (and I am not sure that is all of the ingredients -although it seems to be). You boiled it for just 1 minute after it came to a boil, and then you beat it for a few minutes (I can't remember how long). It
tastes so good! Thanks very much!!

I have a real easy 1 minute frosting recipe that you don't have to cook and it turns out just great. I received this from a relative of my husband. It is called:

White Beat and Eat Frosting
1 egg white, unbeatened, 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 cup boiling water

Mix egg white, sugar, cream of tartar and vanilla in a small mixing bowl. Add boiling water and beat to stiff peaks form with an electric mixer. This will frost a 2 layer cake. *

*I made my kids an alligator cake for school one year and I tinted this green and it turned out just great.

Evening Nancy and kitties
It's probably my imagination Nancy, but you sound more relaxed since the flit (move). I wish you a happier time in your new surroundings.

I would on behalf of my sister Shirley, thank Karen in El Paso for her tip about removing chewing gum. My sister helps to clean out the local secondary school during the Summer break and has had an awful time cleaning chewing gum from the bottoms of the school desks. Your tip would have been a god-send at the beginning of the break, but even now it is still happening to the newly cleaned desks. Thanks Karen.

I love my new home. It is so nice and has an air conditioner that works. The kitties are very happy here as well. They have children to watch, lots of birds and two cats that walk along the back fence. Ditto and Siggy are big bird watchers. I plan to get a bird feeder for them in the next month.

The neighborhood where I now live in is mostly families with children (ages 5-16). Ditto and I Love to watch them from my computer room. Several are playing hide and seek right now. One little girl about 10 years old is hiding behind a tree in my yard. She has apparently thinks it will be a while before she is found because she brought a book to read. Another child across the street is hiding behind a house with a radio controlled car chasing a cat down the sidewalk. It is fun to watch them as I do the newsletter.

I am so happy to see that you are finally happy in a good place to live. We have lived in really horrid places in our lifetime and moved about 7 times. Right now we are finally buying a home. Looking for one as I write this. It's hard to find a good home, but we are excited as this will be, our very last time moving.

Here is my lastest creation. Tasty and super easy. To see the yummy pictures, go to: http://vanillakitchen.blogspot.com/

Homemade Cheesy Reuben Calzones
1/2 pound sliced corned beef
1/4 pound Swiss or provolone cheese
? cup sauerkraut, drained very well
Thousand Island dressing
Pizza dough
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line baking sheets with Silpat or greased parchment paper.Cut dough into 2 even pieces, 4 if you want smaller calzones. Roll out into a circle to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Spread some thousand island dressing in the center of the dough, use as little or as much as desired. Place a piece of cheese on top of the mixture and top with 3 to 4 slices of corned beef, then a bit of sauerkraut, make sure to squeeze out excess liquid in sauerkraut before using.Finish off the pile with another slice of cheese.

Fold dough over the filling and pinch the edges shut, making sure nothing can leak out.Repeat instructions for remaining dough.Gently spread a bit of olive oil on tops of calzones (plu s the crust) before baking, and if desired sprinkle with salt & pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika (I did all these). I always
think its better to season the crust and tops.

Place on baking sheet and slice 2 to 3 holes in the top of the dough so that steam may release.

Place the calzones in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes (depending on oven), then remove from oven and top with any remaining cheese. (I used cheddar cheese for variety).

Return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes; keep an eye out for the dough to turn a nice golden brown color.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes then slice in half.

This is for Dee in S Ill. Forgot the date of the newsletter, She was inquiring whether the play was still done at Palo Duro Canyon. Yes, this year it was on from June 2 to August 17. We attended on August 14 and they announced 1409 in attendance. Most of the seats were full...I imagine Saturday night had an even better attendance. Some of the actors/actresses are professional,

Many are students who are studying acting, etc. in college. They are from quite a few states. I talked with one mother who was from North Carolina and her daughter played a fiddle in the

Hi Folks,
To PeggyNELA, yes, I am the Gail in Winnfield. I haven't been sending in any recipes lately because of some email issues, but I finally got the problem worked out. I have, however, avidly kept up with the daily newsletter. Isn't Nancy a blessing to all of us? Right there in her home she reaches 30,000 of us every day (except for Thursdays, of course) and brings us together like family. Cyber technology is amazing, isn't it. By the way, Peggy, where in northeast LA do you live? I love the Monroe area, especially the mall, LOL.

I need some help from somebody that knows how to cook whiting fish. I bought a bag of frozen filets that were on sale at my grocer's and didn't realize that they're not like the catfish filets that I normally purchase. Although they are filets, one side still has the skin of the fish attached to it and I'm not sure if this makes any difference in preparation or not. I normally either bake fish with 'Cajun seasoning or fry it with the typical LA cornmeal breading. Can this fish be prepared this way or do I need to try something different. I've often prepared salmon with the
skin still attached, but I usually broil it. Somebody help me, please.

Barb,
I too have had rust stains on my clothes. We thought it was from the hot water tank, so it was checked out. Thought it was from our water pipes. Checked that out too. In our case, we finally found out that the rust was coming from the washer ?drum?. The drum was rusting and pieces of it transferred to the clothes. Now we try not to let the clothes sit in the washer for any length of time, but we found a product that makes the stains disappear, Whink Rust Stain Remover, It is safe for whites and colorfast fabrics and carpet, white sinks and white toilet bowls. Fantastic
product. Hope this helps.

Does anyone have a TNT recipe for Gelato?

Hi,
This is for Joan in San Antonio "Baked Eggs N' Bacon Toast Cups" 08/21 Recipes

I make a version of these eggs in the microwave for my grandchildren?we called them egg boats.

What I do is spread thin layer of margarine on one side of the bread then place in small microwave safe bowl(buttered side facing up), so the edges come up to form a small pocket. I cook in microwave for 1 minute on high till toasted. (you will have to discover how long you need to cook as all microwaves cook differently). Remove from microwave, crack one egg into "boat" then pierce yolk and whites with a fork a couple of times. Sprinkle on salt, pepper, cheese and bacon bits and cook in microwave for a minute or whatever is required to set egg.

We all love these and when its hot, you don?t have to turn on the oven.

Good morning, Nancy! Glad you're in your new place; you'll love having the AC, won't you. There are still many weeks of awfully hot weather down there.

Diane in South Jersey asked about evaporated vs condensed milk. They are both the same. But LOOK OUT because there is also a product called Sweetened Condensed Milk, which is COMPLETELY different. It's produced by Borden and called Eagle Brand, and there's at least one other product, named Magnolia, which is the same as Eagle Brand. So if a recipe calls for evaporated or condensed milk, they mean the regular can. That can be used for cream sauces,
or soups, or casserole dishes, or pancakes, or whatever. If a dessert or candy or cookie recipe calls for Sweetened Condensed milk, they will state it as such, and usually include a parenthesis saying (like Eagle Brand). The Sweetened and the evaporated/condensed are NOT interchangable, ever. (You can tell I learned this as a bride when I made something, I don't even remember what, using the wrong one...ick)

Good afternoon Nancy!
I had some taco meat left over from another meal and decided to make this Frito pie. It was so good! As you can see, I did a couple of things a little different, but wanted to use up some left- overs. We still have a meal left in the pan!

Frito Pie
http://www.abbys-kitchen.com/

1 (6 oz.) pkg. Frito or Dorito corn chips ? I used Frito Scoops
1 med. onion, chopped
about ? to 1 c. leftover taco flavored cooked hamburger
1 c. grated cheddar cheese ? I used 5 kind Mexican shredded cheese
1 (36 oz.) can hot, spicy chili and 2/3 can water, stirred together*
1 tsp. chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste


Mix chili powder into chili, and then alternate Fritos, cheese, onion, and chili, making two layers of each in a 9 x 9 baking dish. Make final layer of cheese. Cover and bake on top rack of oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Garnish and serve with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, onions, black olives and sour cream. Source: http://www.abbyskitchen.co.uk

Pimento Cheese Sandwich
Make a pimento cheese spread by taking some shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese, a drop or two of lemon juice, a jar of pimentos (drained) and a little Mayonnaise to mix. Refrigerate a few hours.

Then spread onto a slice of bread that has been toasted first on one side, then buttered. Place under the broiler until bubbly. You will have a delicious sandwich!
This is also delicious as a cold appetizer spread on crackers.

Hi Nancy,
I just saw the reply to Joann from Joie about the Roomba. I had one when we lived in NJ and loved it. When we moved to NC I never used it because we never finished doing the house. Now that we are back in NJ I got it out and started using it again.

Last week we had a thunderstorm and lots of lightning. The lights flickered more than once. I heard a "beep" and couldn't tell where it came from. After searching I noticed the little green lights on the dock and on the other square thing(?) were blinking. I unplugged it and tried it again. I let it sit overnight and it still blinked. I finally called iRobot and was told that basically I needed a whole new Roomba. I guess what happened was a power surge that destroyed it.

Lesson learned -- put your Roomba on a surge protector. It's a computer!!! I found nothing in the instructions that told me to do this but I'll never plug one into a wall socket again without a surge protector. We're doing so much work in this dump we bought I really don't want to put the money out right now for a new one and I'm so angry I could scream.

Hope you and the kitties are all well.

Thanks to all who responded to my need to remove glue from fingers. I have used different solutions, but for some reason it stills gets on my fingers. Because I glue tiny little pearls one at a time, and cover an egg completely, it is very difficult not to put my fingers in the glue. I have to use a special glue to use for the pearls, another for crystal chain, and another glue for the inside of the egg. I have tried putting Vaseline on my hands before I start and it helps. I am going to try the Neosporin to see if that will help. For those of you who live in the Atlanta Area,

be sure and stop by the Georgia Power Bldg, Sept 8th through the 19th. The show
is sponsored by the Pilot Club to help disabled artist in the Georgia Area to display and sell their wares. Their is some beautiful work, painting, pottery, etc. but I am the only egger.

I have been showing my beautiful eggs (real Emu, Rhea and goose eggs). This time I will be showing an Anniversary clock cut from a goose egg that stands about 15 in. tall on rods with a crystal pineapple. I also willl be showing the ship Armada inside a rhea egg. The ship inside the egg is done in crystal and gold plate to represent The Armada, the one that I am really proud of is My Peacock. It is a Rhea egg cut with intricate cuts and covered with emerald and blue Autrian
stones. Inside the rhea egg is a goose egg with a silk screen print of two peacocks. Both eggs are cover in blue and emerald Austrian jewel ornaments. At the top of the Rhea egg is Austrian Rhinestone flatbacks to represent a peacock. If I do say so, it is beautiful. You will have to see them to know the many hours that I spend working on them. Mr. Arthritis is trying to stop me!
Thanks for all your suggestions for the glue.

Several years ago I had a recipe to make a peach pie filling that tasted just like dried peaches. This was made using cut up fresh peaches with the peeling on, sugar, vinegar and some spices. You would cook this until thick and then can. It had such a fresh taste, and OH SO GOOD. Of course I've lost my recipe. Do any of you ladies out there in Nancyland have this recipe. I would
certainly be grateful if you do. Thanks so much Nancy for all that you do for us. You are a highlight of my day.

This is for Rosieg in PA about the recipe for freezer pickles which I tried today. I made the recipe this morning and even after only sitting for a few hours they're very good. I did add about 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes and instead of a green pepper I added 1/2 green and 1/2 sweet red pepper. I also made the Dutch relish but after thinking about it I decided not to freeze it. The dressing is made with flour, vinegar, sugar and spices then heated until it thickens, then the grated vegetables are added. I was worried that after it was thawed the relish might be too
runny. Since my family likes it, my sons remember it from 35 years ago which was about the last time I made it, I'll just give them all some.

Hi, tired-out Nancy and *stressed staff*: I do feel for you as I have moved twice in 2 years, and before that I lived in the same house 22 years! What a mess I was! I'm still unpacking the final 7 boxes full of stuff that should go into my desk-which-there-is-no-room-for. I lost so MANY things. The movers just plain don't get everything back to you. I hope you don't find this out. Plus I just plain couldn't pack everything and gave so much away--and now I miss it. Ah, such is
life.
