Hi Dear Nancy,
So glad you are back home and happy to hear your sister-in-law in
doing better.
Just wanted to say I made the
Turkey Meatloaf and much to my amazement it was
very good.
No matter how many times I try cooking meatloaf it is always hard
but this time with the stuffing mix, it worked out great.
Love and hugs to Ditto and all readers.

I wonder too what you might have done to make your lemon pie
'runny'. I thought maybe you put the whole eggs in instead of only
the yolk? That might have done it. I find pies are usually too sweet
for me, altho that is the purpose I know. Here is a recipe that I
always make . off the cornstarch box. There again, this calls for 1
cup of sugar and I never use that much. 3/4 of a cup is more than
enough, but I will put 1 cup in the recipe order because that is the
original recipe. This is from Best Recipes from back of boxes,
bottles , can and jars.
Lemon Pie
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp Argo corn starch
1 1/2 cups cp;d water
3 egg yolks. slightly beaten
1 lemons grated rind
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp margarine
1 9 inch baked pastry shell
3 egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
Stir together 1 cup of sugar and cornstarch in a 2 quart saucepan.
Gradually stir in water until smooth. Stir in egg yolks, stirring
constantly, bring to boil over medium heat and boil 1 minute. Remove
from heat. Stir in lemon rind, lemon juice and margarine. Cool. turn
into pastry crust.
Beat egg whites until foamy in a small bowl with mixer at high
speed. Add 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, beating after each
addition. Continue beating sntil stiff peaks form. Spread meringue
around edge of filling, first touching crust all around, then fill
center. Bake in 350 deg. oven for 15 minutes until lightly browned.
Cool at room temperature away from Draft. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
I hope this turns out good for you. I have made pies from this
recipe for years.
Have a good day. Tennesseyanky

To Judy in Colorado, May 24

serve a dish of fruit and blueberry muffins.
Joan in Oklahoma
Susana in LA, I just finished making your
Ms Lucy's
Blueberry Pie recipe. It is very good! My DH and I
licked the beaters and the bowl. LOL It's very rich so next time I
might cut the sugar back a little bit. I may have to send some over
to the neighbor or else we will eat the whole pie!
Barb H. in Ohio, I'm on a cooking binge today so I also made your
Turkey Dinner
Meatloaf, from the May 2nd newsletter. So easy and so
good. The top browned beautifully and it sliced very well. The smell
of it cooking made me think of Thanksgiving. I love trying out new
recipes from the newsletter!
Margo/Boston, I agree completely with your comment about feeling
grief at the thought of not receiving the newsletter. The newsletter
members seem like friends and neighbors. I don't usually go into the
archives of old newsletter, but recently I was searching for a
recipe and ended up in some of the older newsletters. It was a treat
to see some of the same names that are still contributing. It made
my heart glad.

How do you fry fish without breaking? My experience in frying
fish(salt and fresh water fish) always end up a disaster. The skin
peels or sticks to the bottom of the pan and the creature that used
to be a fish crumbles before my very own eyes, scrambled! What am I
doing wrong or is it normal for a fish to shed it's skin before
being digested? Will using a deep fryer solve my problem? Frankly, I
have observed others frying fish perfectly, undisfigured, to the
golden brown without the aid of a deep fryer. Any help you can
render will be appreciated.

Seems like I am always chopping onions to fix a meal. I was
wondering if I chopped 3-5 lbs at one time and put the chopped
onions in a ziplock bags and then put the ziplock bags in an air
tight container, how long they would hold up in the fridge. I have
tried the frozen and dried onions and don't really care for them.
What were your results if you have done this?
