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 as many recipes in each email as your
little heart desires. 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 regular,
daily issues. 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. This would include recipes with traces from forwarding,
those in ALL caps (or NO caps), and recipes that do not contain
the standards for recipes (title, ingredient list, and instructions).
Recipes without a name/location of sender will NOT be posted.
A to Z Recipes protects the privacy of its readers and does NOT
publish email addresses. There will be no exceptions. Send recipes
you'd like to share to: a2zrecipes@fastmail.fm

~*~ RAMBLINGS ~*~
Vicki, Sarasota, FL
Memory Lane Again
A little house with three bedrooms and one car on the street,
A mower that you had to push to make the grass look neat.
In the kitchen on the wall we only had one phone,
And no need for recording things someone was always home.
We only had a living room where we would congregate,
Unless it was at meal time in the kitchen where we ate.
We had no need for family rooms or extra rooms to dine,
When meeting as a family those two rooms would work out fine.
We only had one TV set and channels maybe two,
But always there was one of them with something worth the view.
For snacks we had potato chips that tasted like a chip,
And if you wanted flavor there was Lawson's ® onion dip.
Store bought snacks were rare because my mother liked to cook,
And nothing can compare to snacks in Betty Crocker's ® book.
The snacks were even healthy with the best ingredients,
There was no label with a hundred things that made no sense.
Weekends were for family trips or staying home to play,
We all did things together even go to church to pray.
When we did our weekend trips depending on the weather,
No one stayed at home because we liked to be together.
Sometimes we would separate to do things on our own,
But we knew where the others were without our own cell phone.
Then there was the movies with your favorite movie star,
And nothing can compare to watching movies in your car.
Then there were the picnics at the peak of summer season,
Pack a lunch and find some trees and never need a reason.
Get a baseball game together with the friends you know,
Have real action playing ball and no game video.
Remember when the doctor used to be the family friend,
And didn't need insurance or a lawyer to defend,
The way that he took care of you or what he had to do,
Because he took an oath and strived to do the best for you.
Remember when the country was united under God,
And prayer in schools and public places was not deemed as odd.
Remember when the church was used for worshipping The Lord,
And not used for commercial use or for some business board.
Remember going to the store and shopping casually,
And when you went to pay for it you used your own money?
Nothing that you had to swipe or punch in some amount,
Remember when the cashier person had to really count?
Remember when we breathed the air it smelled so fresh and clean,
And chemicals were not used on the grass to keep it green.
The milkman and the bread man used to go from door to door,
And it was just a few cents more than going to the store.
There was a time when mailed letters came right to your door,
Without a lot of junk mail ads sent out by every store.
The mailman knew each house by name and knew where it was sent,
There was not loads of mail addressed to present occupant.
Remember when the words "I do" meant that you really did,
And not just temporally till someone blows their lid.
There was no thing as no one's fault; we just made a mistake,
There was a time when married life was built on give and take.
There was a time when just one glance was all that it would take,
And you would know the kind of car, the model and the make.
They didn't look like turtles trying to squeeze every mile,
They were streamlined, white walls and fins and really had some
style.
One time the music that you played when ever you would jive,
Was from a vinyl, big holed record called a forty-five
The record player had a post to keep them all in line,
And then the records would drop down and play one at a time.
Oh sure we had our problems then just like we do today,
And always we were striving trying for a better way.
And every year that passed us by brought new and greater things,
We now can even program phones with music or with rings.
Oh the simple life we lived still seems like so much fun,
How can you explain a game, just kick the can and run.
And why would boys put baseball cards between bicycle spokes,
And for a nickel red machines had little bottled cokes.
This life seemed so much easier and slower in some ways,
I love the new technology but I sure miss those days.
So time moves on and so do we and nothing stays the same,
But I sure love to reminisce and walk down memory lane.

Baking Tip:
If you've had baking powder or soda for a time, you can check to see
if it still has leavening power by adding a small amount to a bit of very
hot water. If it bubbles and fizzes, then it's still good.

DENTIST
A guy & a girl meet at a bar. They get along so well that they
decide to go to the girl's place. A few drinks later, the guy
takes off his shirt and then washes his hands.
He then takes of his trousers and washes his hands again. The
girl has been watching him and says, "You must be a dentist."
The guy, surprised, says "Yes....how did you figure that out?
"Easy," she replied, "you keep washing your hands." One thing
led to another and they make love. After they were done, the
girl says, "You must be a good dentist."
The guy, now with a boosted ego says, "Sure, I'm a good dentist,
how did you figure that out?"
"Didn't feel a thing!"
Rosemarie, Kansas City, MO...
The only cow in a small town in Kentucky stopped giving
milk. The people did some research and found they could buy
a cow in Kansas for $200.00. They bought the cow from
Kansas and the cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk
all of the time, and the people were pleased and very happy.
They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and
produce more cows like it. They would never have to worry
about their milk supply again. They bought a bull and put it
in the pasture with their beloved cow.
However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow
would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the
cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed
in his quest.
The people were very upset and decided to ask the Vet, who
was very wise, what to do. They told the Vet what was
happening. "Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves
away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward.
When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. An
approach from the side and she walks away to the other
side."
The Vet thinks about this for a minute and asked, "Did you
buy this cow in Kansas?" The people were dumbfounded, since
they had never mentioned where they bought the cow.
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said. "How did you know we
got the cow in Kansas?"
The Vet replied, with a distant look in his eye, "My wife is
from Kansas."
Larry Holmes, Ontario, Canada...
A doctor and his wife are having a fight at the breakfast table. The
husband gets up in a rage and says, "And you are no good in bed either,"
and storms out of the house.
After sometime he realizes he was nasty and decides to make amends and
rings her up.
She comes to the phone after many rings and the irritated husband says,
"What took you so long to answer the phone?"
She says, "I was in bed."
"What are you doing in bed at this hour?"
"Getting a second opinion!"

MINIATURE APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKES
http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Desserts053.html
~Sent in by: Treva, NC
Apples are what most people think of when autumn arrives. Whether you
are picking apples, baking apples or just crunching on apples, they are the
perfect complement to the season. These miniature cakes are just great
when served warm, and topped with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients:
Topping:
2 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, grated
Cake Batter:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ginger
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
3/4 cup plain yogurt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare apple topping; heat one tablespoon of
butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, add apples,
brown sugar and cinnamon and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes, or
until apples are tender. Once cooked, divide apple mixture evenly among
12 wells of a non-stick muffin pan and prepare the cake batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking
powder, salt and ginger and mix well. Add melted butter, vanilla,
eggs and yogurt to this mixture and mix until there are no visible
lumps of flour remaining, being sure to scrape the sides of the
bowl as you mix. Divide this mixture evenly among the wells of
the muffin pan, placing the batter over the apples. Bake for 30
minutes, or until cakes are golden brown, or when a toothpick
inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool, and turnout muffin pan onto a baking sheet.
Serve warm, and top with your favorite ice cream.
Yields: 12 individual servings
