A to Z Recipes

Always something to make you think,
laugh and cook.

Good morning and welcome to your Sunday edition of A to Z Recipes
Newsletter. Every time I even think of complaining about the rainy weather we’ve had, I think of some of you who have been snowed in or flooded out – or
both. I am grateful for a little rain! Even though I have certainly raised the stock value of some sinus medications, I know I am lucky. The rain and my funky sinus woes will soon leave and I’ll be none the worse for the wear.
Our Great Southeastern Escape (GSEE) is really starting to take shape. The location is
New Smyrna Beach, Florida, during the week of August 11-17, 2009. We have secured a beachfront rental (huge house with outdoor pool and sauna, and luxury amenities). We’re gathering names of those who would like to attend. Please visit the
GSEE web page for details and contact information. It is always great to meet new folks, especially those whose names you’ve seen for years. I sure hope you will join us.
The current Monthly Theme topic is Sweets for my
Sweet. We're looking for dessert recipes fit for a sweetheart. Valentine's Day is just about my fave special occasion and I try to do something special for my sweeties (my kids and grands). I'll bet you have some specialty you whip up for yours, too. Won't you share? Please visit the
Monthly Theme - Recipe Submissions section to read all about it. You'll find the link to use for sharing recipes here at
A to Z Recipes.

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.
It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle).
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Recipe for a Happy New Year
~Shared by Patricia, Charlevoix, MI
Take twelve fine, full-grown months; see that these are thoroughly free from old memories of bitterness, rancor and hate, cleanse them completely from every clinging spite; pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness; in short, see that these months are freed from all the past—have them fresh and clean as when they first came from the great storehouse of Time. Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time (so many persons spoil the entire lot this way) but prepare one day at a time.
Into each day put equal parts of faith, patience, courage, work (some people omit this ingredient and so spoil the flavor of the rest), hope, fidelity, liberality, kindness, rest (leaving this out is like leaving the oil out of the salad dressing— don’t do it), prayer, meditation, and one well-selected resolution. Put in about one teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor.

FRESH HERBS
~Shared by Marsha G., Rochester, IN
Fresh-cut herbs are similar to fresh-cut flowers. Water will keep them fresher. I keep a small vase in the kitchen for bunches of fresh herbs. Trim off the ends of the stems just as you would cut flowers, put them in the vase or a small glass, then put a plastic bag over them and refrigerate them. If you change the water regularly, many herbs will keep great like that.
Fresh basil keeps better in an uncovered jar of water out on the counter. And I learned one exception for the fresh-water rule recently: Fresh dill. It hates water. The stems get slimy and the fronds wilt if you try that.
For herbs such as dill or packages of herbs that aren't cut with the stems on, you can wash them, spin them dry in a salad spinner and then wrap them in a paper towel. Tuck them in a plastic bag (leave it open to let them breath a little) and keep it in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator.
You can dry most fresh herbs, but some don't dry all that well, particularly cilantro. The easiest way to dry herbs is to spread them on a screen and leave them out in the sun for a few days (bring them in at night). But I've also done it by just spreading herb leaves on a baking sheet and leaving it out on the counter for a day or two.
You also can bundle and hang them; which takes about a month.
But the best way to keep a supply of fresh herbs is to simply grow them yourself. Most herbs do great in small pots in a windowsill.

An Oldie......
~Shared by Ann, FL
I just want to thank all of you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.
I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel.
Or have lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.
I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking one's nose.
Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.
I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public bathroom.
I must send my special thanks to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.
Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.
I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.
I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I won't touch margarine, as it is just one molecule away from being plastic.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains, nor do I drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put 'Under God' on their cans.
I can no longer buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
Neither will I go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from UPS or Fed Ex since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
I won't shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.
Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but my own because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt.
And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.
I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten by the brown recluse and my hand will fall off.
If you don't send this e-mail to at least 14,000 people in the next 14 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM tomorrow afternoon and the fleas from 1,000 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician...

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO
~Shared by Johnny, LA
Serves about 8; Double recipe
2/3 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2cup cooking oil or bacon grease (not olive oil)
1 cup of chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped green or red pepper ( or both)
6- 8 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Tony's Chachere's Creole seasoning Parsley, chopped, dry or fresh
6 cups of chicken both , heated (I've used a chicken soup base boullion and 6 cups of water)
16 ounces( 1 pound) of andouille or smoked sausage, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 bay leaves
3 whole large chicken breast, skinned and boned and cut into bite size pieces
1 small can of diced tomatoes with chiles (Mild) Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups of sliced okra or one 10 ounce package frozen okra
4 cups of hot cooked rice
For roux, using a wooden spoon, in a large heavy sauce pan or dutch oven combine flour and oil til smooth. Cook over medium-heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir for about 15 minutes more till roux is dark and reddish brown. Stir in onion, celery , green/red pepper, garlic and black pepper, and ground red pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring often.
Gradually stir in hot chicken broth, andouille or smoked sausage, and bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce. Add chicken. Bring to a boil and simmer 20-30 minutes or till tender. Discard bay leaves .
Last 10 minutes add okra to cook until it's cooked.
Serve over rice.
*** if adding shrimp or crab you can leave out chicken and add shrimp or crab the last 5 minutes of the cooking time. Or leave the chicken in there too.
This can be made in a 10" dutch oven for a 4 serving recipe . I use a 12" deep dutch oven and double the recipe except for the okra.
Start with about 20- 25 coals on bottom of dutch oven to make the roux and then renew coals to cook gumbo.
For 10" use 20 coals = 7 on bottom and 13 on top
For 12" use 24 coals = 9 on bottom and 15 on top. It all depends on the weather and winds .
Source: Basic recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens, New Cookbook.
I've made some changes and added some ingredients to the recipe.

DAD'S FAVORITE DEVILED EGGS
~Shared by Jim D., WA State
Active Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 20 Minutes
I can't remember a summer picnic or party without deviled eggs made with Miracle Whip salad dressing. This is one of the first "party foods" I was allowed to fix by myself. Mom would hard-boil the eggs and I would do the rest, right down to filling the eggs and decorating them with a parsley leaf. You may want to use mayonnaise, but I'm sticking to my Dad's favorite dressing.
INGREDIENTS
12 eggs
3/4 cup Miracle Whip salad dressing or mayonnaise
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Ground black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley leaves
DIRECTIONS
Place the eggs in enough cold water to cover in a large saucepan with a lid. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Immediately remove from heat, cover, and leave for 10 minutes. Drain off the hot water, and run the eggs under cold water until cool. Tap the eggs gently in several places to crack and then peel. (For easy peeling, place the cool eggs in a pan of cold water for 10 minutes before cracking.)
Slice the eggs in halve lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks from the whites, and place the yolks in a bowl. Add the salad dressing, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Using a fork, mix until well blended.
Refill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture, using a spoon or small spatula. Garnish with parsley leaves and chill thoroughly before serving.
FOR DEVILED EGGS RANCHERO:
In a bowl, combine the yolks with 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 up drained chunky hot salsa, 1/4 cup finely shredded Monterey Jack pepper or sharp Cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, and salt and ground black pepper to taste. Refill the egg whites. Garnish each with a dollop of guacamole and a sprinkling of finely minced fresh chives.
FOR DEVILED CAVIAR EGGS:
For this adult version, in a bowl, combine the yolks with 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh parsley, 2 teaspoons minced fresh chives, 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, and 2 ounces caviar. Mix until blended. Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. Refill to the egg whites. Garnish each with a tiny dollop of sour cream and a dab of caviar. Serve with champagne.

A2Z Recipes Yahoo Forum Moderator
5 lb. wieners, quartered
1/4 c. Comino powder
2 onions, sliced
1 sm. jar hot peppers
3/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 qt. white vinegar
Pack wieners, onions and pepper in a gallon jar. Heat vinegar and spices to a hard boil and pour over the wieners. Place lid on jar. Do not refrigerate. After several days, divide into several small jars.

2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup white sugar
3 eggs

Remove pineapple to a plate. Pour any remaining butter and juice into a 9" cake pan. Mix another 1/4 cup of the butter with the dark brown sugar and 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice. Place this mixture in the bottom of the cake pan. Arrange the pineapple rings on the brown sugar mixture in a decorative pattern (be creative). Set pan aside. Stir together the flour, salt, white sugar, and baking powder. Separate the eggs. Beat the whites until stiff but not dry. Beat two of the egg yolks until lemony yellow. Stir in the remaining ½ cup pineapple juice, vanilla, and remaining melted butter. Add this mixture to the flour mixture. Gently fold in the egg whites. Pour batter over the top of the brown sugar and pineapple rings. Bake at 375 deg for 30 to 35 minutes. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes then cover pan tightly with a
serving dish and invert so that the pineapple side is up. If any pineapple sticks to the pan, remove it with a fork and fit it back into its right place on the cake. Be sure the serving dish is large enough to catch any syrup which may have formed in the cooking.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH GRATIN WITH ONION AND SAGE
~Shared by Jim D., WA State
Serves four to six as a side dish.
To make butternut squash easier to handle, cut off the neck, peel it, and cut it into pieces to use in this gratin. Reserve the bottom of the squash, which contains the seed cavity, for roasting.
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon butter; more for the gratin dish
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large onions, chopped into 1-inch squares (about 4 cups)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 1 tablespoon dried
3 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 8 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, heated until warm
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
DIRECTIONS
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a gratin dish with butter. In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter with the oil. Add the onions and the sage. Cover and cook over low heat while you prepare the squash.
Put the squash in a steaming basket and set over simmering water. Cover and let steam until the squash is tender, about 10 minutes. Put the squash in the prepared dish with the garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Toss gently to combine.
Continue to cook the onions, stirring frequently, until they caramelize, about 25 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper and add them to the gratin dish, mixing them with the squash. Pour the warm cream over the vegetables. Toss the breadcrumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the gratin. Bake until the top is browned and bubbling, about 40 minutes.

ARROZ A LA MEXICANA
~Shared by Linda H., Rosharon, TX
1 1/2 cups long grain rice
1 cup finely chopped, unpeeled tomatoes
2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
1 clove garlic, peeled, chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil, melted chicken fat or melted lard
3 1/2 cups light chicken broth
½ cup fresh peas or diced zucchini
Salt, to taste
Put rice in bowl and cover with very hot water. Stir and leave to soak for about 10 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain again.
Put tomatoes, onion and garlic in blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Heat oil in heavy pan. Give rice a final shake and stir into the fat. Fry over fairly high heat until it begins to turn a light golden color. Strain off any excess oil, stir in tomato purée and fry, scraping bottom of dish to prevent sticking, until purée has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in broth and vegetables, add salt to taste, and cook over fairly high heat, uncovered, until all broth has been absorbed and air holes appear in the surface.
Cover with lid and continue cooking over very low heat for about 5 minutes longer.
Remove from heat; set aside in a warm place for rice to absorb more moisture, about 15 minutes.
Dig gently to the bottom; test a grain of rice. If it is still damp, cook a few minutes longer. If top grains are not quite soft, sprinkle with a little hot broth, cover and cook a few minutes longer.
Before serving, turn rice over carefully from the bottom so that the flavored juices will be distributed evenly.

CREAMY ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH SEARED SCALLOPS
~Shared by Mary S., Nashville, TN
1 pound asparagus
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 shallots, minced
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken stock
2 cups chopped spinach, firmly packed
4 ounces fresh sea or bay scallops
Snap off the tough stem ends from the asparagus spears and discard. Cut the tips off 4 of the spears into 2-inch lengths. Set the tips aside. Chop the remaining asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Bring a large pot two-thirds full of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the chopped asparagus and cook until bright green and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or long-handled strainer, transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When the asparagus is cool, drain and set aside. In a heavy soup pot over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter is just hot, add the shallots and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chopped asparagus and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the cream and stock. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pass the soup through a chinois into a clean saucepan and keep warm over very low heat.
Season the scallops with salt and pepper. In a small sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. When it is nearly smoking, add the scallops and cook until evenly browned and slightly translucent in the center, about 2 minutes per side. Divide the scallops among 2 warmed soup bowls. Add the reserved asparagus tips to the sauté pan and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into the bowls, garnish with the asparagus tips and serve immediately.
Serves 2.

If you like Dill Pickles, then you would love the "Dilly Core", the Dill Pickle Corer to make Stuffed Dill Pickles. Uncle Bill,
another a2z family member designed the corer specifically for Dill Pickles so it is much smaller than an apple corer that often destroys a pickle. Uncle Bill will also include his
flavorful famous Dill Pickle Stuffing recipe in every order. The "Dilly Core" is made from Stainless Steel, so it is dishwasher safe and will not rust or tarnish. It may also be used to core fresh cucumbers so that stuffing can be added. In addition, the "Dilly Core" can be used to core roasts so that the cored out section can be stuffed with your favorite herbs or spices.
