Hi Nancy, A friend called today to see if I still
had this recipe. It's one we used to buy at lunch time when we were in
high school 52 years ago. Thought some of the readers might like this
since it is crockpotable, the last time I made it I used my large electric
roaster.
HOT MEAT SANDWICH
18 to 24 servings
4 lbs. lean ground beef
2 medium onions (diced)
2 medium potatoes (diced)
1 C. tomatoes
1 C. celery (diced)
1/2 green pepper (medium, diced)
1/8 tsp. curry powder
1 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. butter
Mix ingredients, use potato masher. Cook at 300 degrees until mixture
starts cooking. Then cook very slow for 2 or 3 hours. Mix with potato
masher often while cooking.
Add:
1 C. (diced) cheese and 1/3 brick chili last 30 minutes before serving.
Serve on buns or sandwich bread. We always asked to have ours on the bread
heels with mustard.

Making SOS is so simple. All you need to do is cook your ground meat,
season it as you cook it with a bit of finely chopped onion and salt and
pepper and a bit of garlic powder if you like. Stir in some flour and let
it cook to remove the raw taste, then add milk (regular milk or canned
milk with a little water). Allow it to cook and thicken to the consistency
of cream sauce and serve it with biscuits and fried potatoes or scrambled
eggs. DELICIOUS !

Hi Nancy, furry babies and fellow nancylanders. I
have a lovely dessert recipe for you. It is simple to make, tastes
wonderful and is relatively inexpensive. It is of Portuguese origin and is
called
PANE
1 can condensed milk
1 can regular milk (use condensed milk can for measuring)
3 eggs separated
3 Tbsp of sugar
1 tub (1 litre) of Cool Whip
2 rolls of Maria Classique cookies (walmart) or just Maria cookies (dollar
store)
1 or 2 cups STRONG black coffee in a bowl
1 9x13 pan or 2 smaller ones if desired
In a saucepan mix condensed milk with the egg yolks then add regular milk.
Heat slowly until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly (takes 10-12
mins. Remove from heat.
Dip 1 pkg of cookies one at a time into hot coffee and immediately place
in pan, use the entire pkg even if they overlap. Pour the warm sauce over
the cookies. Repeat another layer of cookies dipped in coffee.
Whip the egg whites until stiff, add sugar 1 tbsp at a time until
absorbed, fold in the cool whip and layer over the cookies. Refrigerate at
least 2 hrs but overnight is best.
I received a 2nd set of instructions for this recipe from another
portuguese friend after I had made it - her instructions were to fold the
egg yolk mixture (cooled) into the egg white/cool whip mixture. Use this
as bottom layer, then cookies dipped in cold coffee, then repeat, ending
with cream on top. I tried this and like the way it looked when sliced -
but both tasted wonderful. I hope you try it, you won't be disappointed.
Merry Christmas Nancy and enjoy some time off, hope everyone has a lovely
Christmas.

Hi Nancy and newsletter friends,
Did any of you see the Oprah show with Rachel Ray this past week? Rachel Ray
made a fudge recipe that is her Mother's, that looks good and easy as the
2 ingredient fudge that has been in this
newsletter. I would like that recipe if anyone knows it. I believe it had choc
chips and condensed milk but I don't know what else. Thanks ahead of time.

This is for Lee in Ontario. Here is a salmon cake
recipe I make a lot and actually serve it mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes. I
guess our husbands have the same cravings. Anyhow, it's very good, enjoy.
Dawn - Cape Cod, MA
Salmon Cakes (Croquettes)
1 pound cooked salmon, canned or fresh
1 small onion
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup flour
5 - 7 tablespoons butter or margarine
Lemon wedges
If using canned salmon, drain and pick over carefully to remove dark cartilage
and bones. Finely chop the onion. Using a fork, flake the salmon and then
combine in a medium bowl with the onion, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire
sauce, hot sauce, black pepper, cheese and parsley.
Using about 1/3 cup salmon mixture for each cake, shape the mixture into rounds,
about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle the flour on a plate or board. Dredge the patties
in the flour, coating well, but dusting off excess flour. Place the patties in
the refrigerator and let set for 30 minutes or longer. Heat the butter or
margarine in a large skillet until foamy and hot. Add the patties and brown on
both sides, cooking about 5 minutes. Remove the salmon cakes from the pan and
drain on paper towels. Serve warm, with lemon wedges.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings as appetizer or side dish, 3 to 4 as main course
I love the elf hat that was listed in
Siggy's Christmas corner. Although it is
for a cat I am going to get one for my dog. I have to dogs and one is
getting a Santa hat and one is getting the elf hat. Thank you for posting
it.

Grease tiny muffin tins very well. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place pan of
boiling water in oven (bottom rack) when baking. Chop candied fruits and toss
with the flour. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and fill the muffin tins 3/4
full. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from tins when done and put on a rack to
cool. Spoon Grand Marnier over each fruitcake (repeat each day for three days).
Store in an airtight container.
I don't care for these because of the liquor, but some of my friends and family
love them.
Tona in Bama
Hi Nancy and Nancylanders, I just wanted to wish all
of you a very blessed Christmas and a very happy new year. Does anyone have a
recipe for Boston cream cake, using a cake mix? Also does anyone know where I
could get unsalted cashews? Also what kind of oil can one use to make cashew
butter? Thanks to all in advance.
Mary G. 45 in CA.
I, too, made some of the easy
fudge. I used the cherry chips, chocolate fudge frosting, vanilla,
pecans, and chopped maraschino cherries (I drained them, cut them in pieces and
dried with paper towel). It was very good. The other one I tried was cream
cheese frosting, Andes peppermint chips, vanilla, and pecans. It, too, was very
good, but I think would have been better with some crushed peppermint added to
it.

They get good reviews/compliments from guests.
Because of the contrast between the tart cranberries and the sugary coating, the
flavor of this snack pops in your mouth.
Sugared Cranberries
~TNT Recipe
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups water
2 cups fresh cranberries (discard any bruised/bad cranberries)
3/4 cup superfine sugar (If you can't find superfine sugar, make your own by
processing granulated sugar in a food processor for 1 minute).
1. Combine granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat,
stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer, remove from heat (do not boil
or cranberries may pop when added). Stir in cranberries; pour mixture into a
bowl. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
2. Drain cranberries in a colander over a bowl, reserving liquid, if desired.
Place superfine sugar in a shallow dish. Add cranberries, rolling to coat.
Spread cranberries in a single layer on a baking sheet, let stand at room
temperature 1 hour or until dry. Yield: 9 servings (serving size: about 1/3
cup).
Note: Store in a airtight container in a cool place up to 1 week. They get good
reviews/compliments from guests. Because of the contrast between the tart
cranberries and the sugary coating, the flavor of this snack pops in your mouth.

Nancy and friends. For those looking for the
cherry chocolate . Today I purchased Andes Cherry
Jubilee thins from our local Longs pharmacy in Mililani Hawaii. These were Andes
products manufactured in Delevan, Wisconsin upc code 41186 15340. I have never
been disappointed with the quality of Andes chocolates.

Nancy,
In am hoping that all the great cooks on here can help me. I am interested in
purchasing a good quality knife set and need some help. The only knives I've
used are one that I've purchased $10 for the set, and both sets are starting to
wear out. I am hoping the the next "set" I purchase will be the last and I am
"only" 34 years old so I want quality. I realize that I will likely be
purchasing them one at a time, and expect it to be a nice bite out of my budget,
but other than that I don't know where to start. I am hoping to find a great
after-Christmas sale, but want to have some knowledge before I go. Can anyone
help me with this? I live in a major Canadian city, and prefer not to order
on-line if possible, but it is an option. Thanks in advance for the help.
Fran in Ottawa
Kathy in sw Kansas was looking for alternate sauces
for her meatballs. A favorite of mine is like Sweet and Sour sauce. You mix 1
bottle of chili sauce with one small jar of current jelly. Pour over meatballs.
I do mine in the crockpot as they are easy to transport then.
I'm looking for a recipe for Pecan tassies. I've seen pictures of this cookie
and it looks like little pecan pies which I love. Would making this cookie
require a special pan?
Linda B, Fairborn Ohio
Hi Nancy. I just wanted to let everybody know how I
saved a fudge recipe that didn't set up very well. I made the two ingredient
fudge using peanut butter chips and coconut-pecan frosting. The taste was
wonderful but it was soft and sticky and I had no idea how I was going to serve
fudge that had to be dipped out. My daughter suggested to roll the fudge into
balls and then roll in powdered sugar or dip in chocolate. I do believe I have a
very smart daughter. Maybe this will help someone else "save the day". Merry
Christmas to all in Nancyland. Jean
For Kathy Clark in SW Kansas from Dawn in SW Georgia

1 tsp. Worcestershire
1 tsp. soy sauce

In the Dec. 15
newsletter, Barb in San Diego corrected the amount of butter in the
Microwave Penuche recipe. Thank you for that correction. I missed it in any
previous newsletters.

Penuche is a creamy caramel fudge type candy. Pralines are a caramel pecan patty
that is crisp and chewy.

Nancy, this is in response to Cathy Clark in SW
Kansas, who in the 15 December Newsletter
requested recipes for meat balls that are not of the barbecue sauce or sweet and
sour sauce variety. Well, here's a little different TNT meat ball recipe that
may be what she's looking for.
Mr. Myron Drinkwater - Lake Forest, CA
Swedish Meat Balls are simmered or served in a cream sauce rather than a tomato
style sauce that usually accompanies meat balls. This is an easy and tasty
recipe, one that family and guests will enjoy. This recipe is for 6 servings so
for a larger gathering, my recommendation is to increase the recipe
proportionally and make the balls slightly smaller than golf ball size. Another
possibility is to purchase packages of frozen meat balls from the market or
grocery store and prepare a white cream sauce to pour over them after the meat
balls have been thawed and heated. If making your own meat balls, they can be
made ahead of time and either refrigerated or frozen and then reheated and added
to the sauce.
SWEDISH MEAT BALLS
6 Tbsp butter (divided)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup dried bread crumbs
1 cup evaporated milk (divided)
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 pinch dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 tsp all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp tomato sauce
ground nutmeg to taste
Melt 3 tablespoons butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add
the chopped onion and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender. In a large
mixing size bowl, combine the bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk
and stir, allowing the crumbs to absorb the milk. Add the ground beef, onion,
egg, salt, ground black pepper and parsley to taste. Mix well and form into golf
ball sized meat balls. Heat remaining butter or margarine in the same skillet
over medium to medium high heat and add the meatballs. Carefully shake the
skillet or turn the meat balls, as needed. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until
meat balls are browned on all sides. Transfer the meat balls to a serving
platter, dish, bowl or crock pot to keep warm if serving as snack food. Reserve
the liquid in the skillet. Add the flour to the skillet and stir until smooth.
Then gradually add the evaporated milk, tomato sauce and nutmeg to taste; again
stirring until mixture is warmed, smooth and creamy. Pour over meatballs. Yield:
6 servings.
Cook's Note: Cook the meat balls a few at a time leaving space between the meat
balls so that there is room to easily turn them as they cook.
Good morning all,
Hope all are ready for the big day (night, weekend). I am, and as excited as my
grandchildren. But at 65 I guess I am still a kid.
The other day, I went up to the Amish store in Dalton, Wi---- to get some
spices, soup bases, popcorn, Amish cookbooks and other item that I might need
before I get back in that area for the summer months. I am using some of the
bases, popcorn, cookbooks for Christmas gifts for my girls, who love the bases
for cooking, reading the cookbooks, and eating popcorn. As like their mother,
they feel their is nothing better for cooking soups, than those bases. I would
be lost if I didn't have them. Best there is. While there I bought some cashew
crunch (looks like peanut brittle). Was it GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway does anyone
know how to make this? It is not as hard as P. Brittle and has a delicious
buttery flavor with lots of cashews in it. I have looked for it on line and in
some the Amish cookbooks, but am not sure those I find are the same as the one I
am eating and it is almost gone. Geeeees it is good!!!!!!!!!
Thank you to those who take the time at this busy time of the year to send the
recipe in.
And to you Nancy, and your 4 legged kids I hope your Christmas is filled with
joyful moments, warm memories, good health, love and a very special happiness,
and above all, Gods Blessings.
Merry Christmas All

This is for Nancy in Bowling Green Kentucky
requesting an SOS recipe.(Dec.15
newsletter). My husband belongs to a local group of retired Marines and one
of them recently passed out this recipe for SOS at one of their meetings:
SOS
1-1/2 lb. lean ground beef
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup chopped onion
3 Tbsp flour
Minced garlic, to taste
4 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Brown meat in butter, stir. (My note: I never use butter to brown ground beef.
It is greasy enough.) Add onions and cook until transluscent. Add flour, stir
and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire and mix
thoroughly. Add milk slowly and stir until it thickens. Enjoy!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of Nancyland and to OUR Nancy -you
DESERVE to take a break! You are the BEST!
Barbara in Alabama
This is for Nancy in Ky
You can use ground beef, but I use dried beef that comes in a jar.
Melt about a stick of butter in a fry pan, add the dried beef and cook a few
mins then add about a heaping Tbsp of flour and stir till like a paste then
slowly add milk till it is the thickness you desire.
Serve over toast or even good over mashed potato's.
Trish in Fl
Hello everyone out here in Nancyland. Hope all have a
very Merry Christmas.
This is for Kathy in Kansas in the Saturday newsletter. I really laughed at your
antics over the toaster situation. I have had the same problems with toasters
over the years and I bought my last one at Wal-mart. I buy a family gift at
Christmas, I have done this for years. It usually is something the whole family
uses and this years it will be a Toaster. I am going to buy the best toaster I
can find. Never mind the toasters that are on sale they are the worst.
Colleen in Canada
Thought I send in my recipe for
Hot Cider, only two ingredients and that’s it.
The hardest part though is trying to find red hot cinnamon candies, this makes
delicious hot cider just had 20 pieces of candy to 1 quart of apple juice in
pan, bring it to a boil and simmer until candies are dissolved. The standard
size of apple juice is more than 1 quart, so you can adjust accordingly, if you
like it sweeter, add more red hots, less sweet, less red hots.
I even do just a cup in the microwave for just me, just throw in some red hots.
Dotty in Humble
For Kathy Clark:
You might try putting your meatballs in a sauce of cream of mushroom or cream of
celery soup mixed with sour cream.

Just a question: Is there any way to convert
Easy Bake oven recipes to recipes with oven temps
that can be done in a regular oven?
Thanks! Athena in DE
Nancy, I have a friend reared in Hood County, Texas.
She often talks about the cookies that someone would come to the school and make
for them. They called the cookies Wrinkledy Uncle. My friend is just past 70
years. Do we have anyone from around Tolar, Texas who remembers these school
cookies? Do we have a recipe available? Any information will be appreciated.
PeggyNELA
Thanks to Jeannie Hester in Henderson, Tx, who, in
the Dec. 15th newsletter let me know about the cherry chips at Wallmart. Is your
Wallmart a super store? The one in my area is just a regular Wallmart. I wasn't
able to find the cherry chips there. I certainly appreciate you're letting me
know, tho. I was thinking of making the cherry fudge with cherry frosting and
vanilla chips, and maybe add a little red food coloring to make it brighter.
Maybe chop some marchino cherries, drained and dried very well, of course. What
do you think? I hope you and everyone have a wonderful weekend.
I also wanted to comment of the Snowman Soup. I bought 4 mugs at the "Dollar
Tree", and a 6 pack box of Hot Chocolate Mix, and a box of candy canes. That all
came to just $6.00. I had to get the Mini Marshmallows at the grocery store for
$1.99. I made 4 sets, and it only cost me a total of $8.00, and other than
getting more mugs, I have stuff left over to make more.. I printed up the poem
that was posted earlier this week, with the cute pic of a snowman on it, and I
attached one to each. Thanks to the person who originally sent the idea in. I
now have 4 "Emergency" gifts if needed.
Nancy, I'm happy to hear, for your sake, that you're going to take a few days
off, here and there, to enjoy your Holidays with your loved one, including your
furry helpers. You deserve it. We'll miss you on those days, but no one deserves
some time off, more than you do.

For Patti in TX concerning the
coffee makers - I have a coffee maker w/2 travel mugs. I love it.
When my hubby & I both worked, we would make both cups but now that he is
retired & I get up earlier than he does, we make one cup at a time. Have had
this coffee maker for quite a few years & find it very convenient.
Nancy, hope you & your "furry friends" have a very Mery Christmas & a Safe &
Happy New Year. Really appreciate all you work on this news letter.

Nancy and friends. I have to write that I blasted my
first turkey this Thanksgiving with the recipe i received my our Safeway store
in Mililani Hawaii. It was absolutely delicious and very moist. I believe the
time for our 16 pound bird was 2 hours. Perfection. Not a spill in the oven and
I used a foil pan with a rake. no smoke in the kitchen ,just good aroma. I have
saved the folder with instructions and if anyone wishes I will send in the times
needed for the pounds of bird.

Nancy this is not a recipe request but a request from
your Canadian readers. My SIL was diagnosed with breast cancer this past year. I
received a free Canadian breast cancer coin collector card. I am now in need of
the breast cancer 25 cent coin. I can order them from St. Louis, but the price
is more than what I would like to pay. If you can help me in getting this coin,
I would appreciate it so much. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Hi! This question is for Linda in Oregon about the
smoke from her Blasted Chicken. What kind of pan did you use? Was it an enamel
one? I had a wonderful black speckled enamel roaster pan that developed a pin
hole in the bottom that when the pan was heated, the hole opened and out dripped
grease onto the bottom of stove and then it smoked so bad. You could not find
the hole by looking or when pan was cold. If you do use an enamel pan, fill with
hot water and check in a few minutes if bottom is wet.
I tried Blasted chicken and it is GOOD.

Hi, Nancy & Nancylanders!
I want to thank those who sent in the no-peek chicken recipe. I enjoyed the one
using the wild rice.
I am searching for a cut out sugar cookie made with Bisquick. I am pretty sure
it had almond extract in it. I checked the official site, as well as Nancy's but
couldn't find it.
TIA jan in NW PA
Hi Nancy and kitties, hope Santa brings yall what
your heart desires for Christmas. You deserve it and I am sure the kitties do
too.. to Gerry in New Hampshire regarding the Benne Cookies, I will definitely
try them for Christmas. I love those things. We have a cookie company here that
makes them and they are out of this world.. But I would love to make these and
see what they taste like. Bet they are wonderful too. Thanks and God Bless you
and all the wonderful ladies (men too) cooks.
Gloria Farris in Ga.
Thanks to Margaret in Tulsa for the Jan Hagel cookie
recipe. I used to make that years ago and had forgotten the recipe. I need to
take cookies to a Christmas Eve service at church and those will be the perfect
"adult" cookie.
Here's another adult cookie/pastry recipe that I find wonderful:
Rugalach (Raisin Crescents)
Pastry Ingredients:
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup shortening
5 to 7 tblsp. ice water
Preheat oven to 400°. Sift together flour and salt; cut in shortening with
pastry blender till pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon
water over part of mixture. Gently toss with fork ; push to side of bowl. Repeat
till all is moistened. Form into 5 equal balls. Between two sheets of waxed
paper roll dough, forming a circle about an 1/8 inch thick; cut into 12 equal
wedges.
In small bowl combine remaining ingredients except confectioners' sugar. Spoon
an equal amount of mixture onto each wedge near curved end; roll each from
curved end toward point. Place crescents on nonstick baking sheet, point-side
down, and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to
cool; just before serving, sprinkle each crescent with a teaspoon of
confectioners' sugar. Makes 30.
