Publisher's Desk...
Hello and welcome to another daily issue of A to Z Recipes. I am so
glad you decided to join us and hope the July 4th festivities were fun for you.
We had some of the kids' friends over, ate, and played card- and video games. It was
great fun. When you get to be my age, one of the best things is when that last
teen has left and you plop in a chair and say "never again!". Seriously, we did
have a great time. We did our fireworks watching the night before and it was at
the school grounds less than a block away from our front porch. Trey and I had
ring-side seats on our own lawn. Lots of folks chose the corner house lawn
(ours) to congregate which made watching more fun. I was relaying the events to
Rusty in Florida and recalled the most memorable part of the evening (besides
the fireworks which were outstanding for such a small community!):
We had great fun as the fireworks were shot a block from our house, so he
did not have to go anywhere to get a "bird's eye" view. You should have seen
him...just as the last was discharged and in the moment of silence that follows,
Trey screams (at the top of his hefty lungs):
"GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!"
The crowd joined in and you could hear a wave of voices, carrying Trey's
message. For a teenager, during a moment of introspection and awe in His power,
to place God on the tongues of strangers is a miracle.
We have great recipes, something to make you think, and lots to make you laugh
in today's issue. Since the first installment (yesterday) of theme recipes was
so well received, I am hoping this month's theme of Fresh Is Best! will
be also. Send your submissions in soon, ok? Have a great day and join us here
tomorrow.

Food Prep Tips
Shared by Jean, Syracuse, NY
For a different look to sweet breads like pumpkin bread, Banana bread, bake
in 1 lb coffee cans. grease and flour just like you would for bread pan.
When I wash vegetables (especially leafy spinach or Swiss chard) or fruit, I
fill the kitchen sink with cold water and add baking soda. I move the vegetables
around in the water and then let them soak for about 3 minutes. Then rinse. This
procedure has all the dirt sink to the bottom, then rinse again and all is ready
to use. Fruit will look much brighter.
I keep a large supply of dried vegetables on hand. It saves time shopping, and
also saves money as I cook for one, and otherwise have to throw away a lot of
spoiled veggies.
My new favorite tip (and it is not my own) is to open the dishwasher door before
spraying pans or dishes with nonstick spray and hold the pan or dish over the
door. There is no mess on the counter or sink and it all washes away when you
wash the dishes!
To tame the heat in hot peppers, remove the seeds (which carry the heat). You
can also soak the peppers in sugar water for about an hour to put out even more
of the fire (especially helpful when making stuffed peppers). Use 2 cups water
to 2 tablespoons sugar. High Flavor, Low Fat Mexican Cooking
Did you get any chocolates for Christmas, Valentine's Day or Easter? Save the
plastic inserts from the box and use to make decorative ice cubes for summer
drinks. They can be reused many times.
To revive marshmallows that have become hard, place them in a plastic bag with a
couple slices of fresh bread. Seal the bag and after a few days the marshmallows
will be as good as new.
To avoid foods running together on the plate, spoon liquid-filled vegetables
into a small ramekin or flat bowl placed on the plate. It not only keeps spinach
from running into your salmon, but it makes a nice presentation, too.
Sprinkling French toast with sesame seeds prior to cooking provides a crunchy
taste.
When cooking pasta or rice (brown, long grain or wild rice), cook extra. Freeze
1 cup servings in zip lock bags. It heats quickly in the microwave for quick
meals

Next Monthly Theme...
Fresh Is Best!
What a great theme topic as we all know, fresh is best! So, what are we looking for in this month's theme? We would like recipes using fresh ingredients. No canned vegetables, fruit, etc. It would be ideal if all ingredients were fresh, although some seasonings and spices that are dried may be used. This is great for those of you who, like me, shy away from a lot of canned goods. A peek in my pantry will find very few canned or packaged goods, but almost never a packaged gravy, sauce, etc. Let's have some fun with this theme while the picking is great for fresh fruits and vegetables.
Here is the recipe submission set of rules:
A to Z Recipes continues with its popular Theme Issues. We will share theme recipes and post them on the first Sunday of each month. Send your recipes no later than the last Friday of each month to have them posted in the next monthly theme issue. You may send in TWO of your favorite theme recipes and in ONE email. If the number of recipes exceeds those needed in the issue, the publisher will post as many from every submitter as possible and save the remaining recipes for the following Sundays of that month. The rules for recipe submissions for the monthly theme issues are the same as ALL recipes submitted for posting.
The rules are as follows:
As a service to your fellow readers, please send only recipes that are in a form that others could easily copy and save for their own use. Recipes that would require a lot of editing or cleaning up or use non-standard measurements should not be submitted. Recipes without a name and location of sender may NOT be posted or posted without any credit given. There will be NO recipes posted that are from other recipe-zines. A to Z Recipes protects the privacy of its readers and does NOT publish email addresses. There will be no exceptions.

Thibodaux and Boudreaux
Shared by Carol, NY
Thibodaux and Boudreaux are a couple of drinking buddies who work as airplane
mechanics in New Orleans. One day the airport is fogged in and they're stuck in
the hanger with nothing to do.
Boudreaux says, "Man, I wish we had something to drink." Thibodaux says, "Me,
too. Y'know, I heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz. You wanna try it?"
So they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane hooch and get
completely smashed.
The next morning Boudreaux wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels. In
fact, he feels great. No hangover. No bad side effects. Nothing. Then the phone
rings. It's Thibodeaux.
Thibodaux: Hey, how do you feel this morning?
Boudreaux: Great!
Thibodeaux: I feel great, too. You don't have a hangover?
Boudreaux: No, that jet fuel is great stuff, no hangovers, nothing. We oughta do
this more often.
Thibodeaux: Yeah. Well, there's just one thing....
Boudreaux: What's that?
Thibodeaux: Have you farted yet?
Boudreaux: No.
Thibodeaux: Well, don't, 'cause I'm in Phoenix.

~Submitted by Larry Holmes, Ontario, Canada
Crumb Crust (directions follow)
1 package (8 ounces) light cream cheese
¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 tablespoons finely slivered or
chopped crystallized ginger
2 cups seedless green and red grapes (and black if available) halved
2 tablespoons apple jelly, melted
Prepare and bake crust (see below)
In medium bowl, with spoon or fork, mix cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and 3
tablespoons of the crystallized ginger until evenly blended. Spoon filling into
cooked crust; spread evenly.
Place enough grape halves, cut side down, on top of filling to make a single
layer. Scatter remaining grape halves over pie.
Wit pastry brush, carefully brush warm apple jelly over grapes and sprinkle with
remaining 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger. If not serving right away, cover and
refrigerate up to 1 day. Let tart stand at room temperature 15 minutes before
serving.
Makes 10 servings.
Crumb Crust:
(For one 9-inch shell)
1 1/2 cups fine gingersnap cookie crumbs (about 30 cookies)
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons butter, melted
Preheat oven to 375° F. In medium bowl, with fork, stir crumbs and sugar with
melted butter until evenly blended and moistened. With hand, press mixture onto
bottom and up sides of 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.

MOLASSES BBQ BEANS
~Submitted by Tena, MO
2 pounds navy or small white beans, soaked overnight
2 cups chopped white onions
2 cups chopped red onions
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cups dark brown sugar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons dark chili powder
2 chopped canned chipotle chilies
1 pound canned plum tomatoes
1/2 cup molasses
Honey
Salt and pepper
Cook white beans according to directions on package until slightly tender. In a
saucepan combine the remaining ingredients and simmer for 45 minutes. It is
important to cook the beans and make the sauce at the same time so that the hot
beans will absorb the hot sauce. Season to taste with honey, salt and pepper.
The beans should cook an additional 30 minutes in the sauce so that they are
tender and have fully absorbed the flavor.

~Submitted by Jean, Syracuse, NY
Ingredients:

refrigeration.
Cook the bacon until lightly browned but only about half cooked. It must still
be flexible enough to wrap around the scallops. Cut each piece in half.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

SCOTCH EGGS
This recipe originated in Scotland for golfers to carry a meal in their
pockets.
6 hard boiled eggs
1 lb. spicy sausage meat
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 C flour, divided
1 C breadcrumbs
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. paprika
2 eggs, beaten
oil for frying
Peel the eggs and set aside. Mix sausage and spices in a small bowl. Divide
sausage into 6 equal portions, set aside. Mix breadcrumbs with salt, pepper and
paprika, set aside.
Dry each egg with a paper towel, then roll lightly in flour to coat. Take one
portion of sausage and using hands, shape a coating around the hard boiled egg,
completely enclosing it. Roll in flour again, then dip in beaten egg then roll
in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with remaining eggs.
Heat about 2-3 inches of oil in a large skillet. Fry eggs, turning frequently,
until golden brown on all sides. Make sure sausage is thoroughly cooked.
Drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly before

serving.
