Jef the surprise bit comes after about 4 of these when you try to
stand up

Here you go!

Mushroom Soup - a HUGE pot

1 onion chopped (about 2 cups worth)
celery, chopped (about 1 cup worth)
mushrooms, chopped (about 6 cups worth)
mushrooms sliced (about 1 cup worth)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 pound butter ( half of a stick, whatever it's called LOL)
Chicken broth about 2 litres or 8 cups
whipping cream 1 litre or 4 cups

Sauté onions and celery in 1/2 a stick of butter ( I don't use margarine,
so don't know if it will work) When the onions are translucent, add the
mushrooms and sauté until soft.Add 1/2 cup of flour, and sauté, stirring
lots to cook the flour. Add chicken broth. ( I use Campbell's reduced
sodium, about 2 litres) and bring to a boil. simmer until it thickens a
bit, stirring lots, should only take a few minutes. Reduce heat, and add 1
litre of whipping cream (you may use a lighter cream if desired) Do not
boil after adding the cream. Stir in white pepper to taste and a pinch or
two of nutmeg.

Jellied Moose Nose
(from "Northern Cookbook"; Ministry of Indian Affairs, Ottawa, Canada,
edited by Eleanor A. Ellis)

1 Upper jawbone of a moose
1 Onion, sliced
1 Garlic clove
1 Tbsp Mixed pickling spice
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper
1/4 cup Vinegar

Cut the upper jaw bone of the moose just below the eyes. Place in a large
kettle of scalding water and boil for 45 minutes. Remove and chill in cold
water.

Pull out all the hairs -- these will have been loosened by the boiling and
should come out easily (like plucking a duck.) Wash thoroughly until no
hairs remain. Place the nose in a kettle and cover with fresh water. Add
onion, garlic, spices and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and
simmer until the meat is tender. Let cool overnight in the liquid.

When cool, take the meat out of the broth, and remove and discard the bones
and the cartilage. You will have two kinds of meat, white meat from the
bulb of the nose, and thin strips of dark meat from along the bones and
jowls. Slice the meat thinly and alternate layers of white and dark meat in
a loaf pan. Reheat the broth to boiling, then pour the broth over the meat
in the loaf pan. Let cool until jelly has set. Slice and serve cold....
with jelly or without..... mmmmmm!

I hate mushrooms. Bleah.

I'm at work and don't have my meter here. I'm closing in on FMD,
though.

These aren't as complicated as they look. And they are *super duper*
yummy.


Chocolate-Glazed Toffee Bars

FOR THE CRUST:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 teaspoons milk, possibly a little more

Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan. Whisk together flour, sugar and salt
thoroughly. Sprinkle butter pieces over the top. Using a pastry
blender, 2 knives or your fingertips, cut in the butter until the
mixture resembles fine crumbs. Sprinkle milk over the top and stir in
to blend. Knead until the milk is distributed and the particles begin
to hold together. If necessary, add a teaspoon or two more milk, until
the mixture holds together but is not wet.

(In a food processor, process the dry ingredients and butter in on/off
pulses until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; be careful not to
overprocess. A bit at a time, add the milk and process in on/off
pulses until the particles begin to hold together; if necessary, add
just enough additional milk so the mixture holds together but is not
wet.)

Firmly press the dough into the baking pan to form a smooth, even
layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, position a rack in the
center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the
chilled dough for 10 minutes and set aside to cool slightly.

FOR THE FILLING:
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (about 1/2 pound)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons clover or other mild honey
1 tablespoon milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Toast the pecans, stirring occasionally in a baking pan, until very
lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Combine remaining ingredients except for vanilla in a medium, heavy
saucepan and, stirring frequently, bring to a boil over medium heat.
Boil the mixture, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in
the toasted pecans (reserving about 2 tbsp for topping) and vanilla.
Spread the mixture evenly over the baked crust. Bake until the crumb
mixture is bubbly, golden brown and just slightly darker at the edges,
17 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan to a rack to cool slightly.

FOR THE TOPPING:
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tsbp finely chopped pecans

While mixture is still hot, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Let
stand for several minutes until the chocolate chips partially melt,
then smooth across the surface with a table knife to spread the
chocolate. (The surface should not be completely covered with
chocolate.) Sprinkle pecans over top.

Let chocolate cool until thickened but still slightly soft, then cut
into bars; let cool completely before lifting the bars from the pan.
Retrace the initial cuts to separate the bars, if necessary.

Moose Nose... Jeez. I'll have to ask my Canadian Cowboy pal about
that! LOL

Here's something for the Earth Shoe Set...

Stir Fried Kale

A great way to use up some of the extra kale you might have. You can
use other similar greens in this recipe - spinach, mustard greens, and
arugula will all work. A mixture of greens is also quite good. Serve
as a salad, as a side dish, or as a main dish with rice.

Yields: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup bread crumbs
3 bunches kale - washed, dried, and shredded
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan.
Add onions and garlic; cook and stir until soft.
2. Mix in breadcrumbs, and cook and stir until brown.
3. Add sesame seeds and stir until browning then
4. Stir in kale, and cook until wilted. Serve hot or warm.

Sounds good Mike. I have done something similar with kale, cabbage,
or bok choy, except for the bread crumbs and sesame seeds. I think
you can do this recipe with any of the cabbage family. Except red
cabbage. I think you must be a fantastic cook. I used to be pretty
good, but now that I am not cooking for an army anymore, I have
slacked off a bit.

bastards acted like they enjoyed it after a while. I tried every
design out there, and even augmented them with High Voltage when the
birds left.
Nothing worked.
So I lost my temper. More will show up someday, but as of now, there
ONE left, and it does not mess with the feeders.
Probably a stupid one.

They had to fuck with me THEN right in Month Three.
A double digit number of them *" refused my offer"* to move on.

They sleep with the fishes, capice?

A High Standard Trophy with a laser sight isn't sporting.
Neither was _fucking_ with me.

The pictures to illustrate this recipe are from this very morning. I hope
the link works.

1 field mouse
1/4 to 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large stockpot

http://pictures.aol.com/ap/myAlbums....184972089913.3

In all seriousness, I did not have little Mickey for breakfast. We have
mice in our house (obviously from the picture) and I can't kill them, so I
catch them on glue boards and then, if you pour vegetable oil on them, the
glue dissolves and they can free themselves. I keep them in a tall pot so
they can't jump out until I take them to the park. Give them a little food
and water while they groom themselves and lick their wounds. I did invest
in a little terrarium today with an excercise wheel, though I haven't caught
one since I bought it. Have I convinced you yet that I am certifiably
insane?

So this is what I spent my morning doing - catching 4 mice, rehabbing them,
and freeing them from captivity. Probably should have posted under a
separate thread, but it seemed to me that a mouse covered with vegetable oil
in a stockpot kinda fit in with recipes, yes?

Oh, yeah, and here's my meter: I have achieved six months, four days, 20
hours, 40 minutes and 27 seconds, of smoke-free living (and, with it, rather
aggressive driving). This amounts to 5575 cigarettes not smoked, saving
$1,323.96, and adding 2 weeks, 5 days, 8 hours, 35 minutes to my fabulous
life in order to be kind to vermin and thereby improve my karma.

Guess I screwed up the link --- How do I post a picture? Just the cutest
little mouse in a pot that you ever did see! Standby!

I take it you are not a Cat Lover? We have bird feeders and store
vast quantities of sunflower seeds here, so they like to get into the
house.
We have four cats.
Once, I saw an amazing thing, that I have never seen on a Nature Show.

The Tabby is semi-feral and a devoted hunter. One night I heard her
trying to tear the heating vent apart.

Shortly after, my wife shouted "Come and see this!"
Molly had chased the wounded mouse down the hall to my wife's studio,
wherein dwelled Murphy, the Norwegian Forest Cat. The mouse ran right
up tp Murphy, took one look at her, appeared to say, "I'm Fucked!",
and just SAT DOWN and gave up.

The mouse was "Sacrificed To Neptune" * because of his injuries.

Oh, we have cats. Useless.

That's not quite fair; they actually were remarkable companions to my
partner's late mother, who lived with us until she passed on fairly
recently. And I think they really had a job to do taking care of her and
keeping her going. So they weren't totally useless. But the mousing
portion of their resumes is, shall we say, lackluster. Once I was sitting
with the cats watching TV and I heard this scratching in the kitchen...
about 10 feet away. There's Mickey, pretty brazenly, eating the cat food.
The cats could hardly be less interested. I think they might have purposely
left some food over for the mouse. Big fat useless lazy cats.

Yeah, my old one does that...We call it "Impersonating a Turnip".
The other cats chase the laser dot. She sniffs it and goes back to
sleep. She is shaped _exactly_ like an eggplant. Same color, too.

Hey, that picture of you...is that the tail of a Piper Tomahawk? (If I
am thinking of the right person..you know, with all these fake names,
etc... shrug)

THISTime remarked

> Hey, that picture of you...is that the tail of a Piper Tomahawk?

You are thinking of the right picture, but the wrong plane. It's a Cessna
172 / Skyhawk. As I mentioned to Jef. when I asked him to post that pic,
the picture was taken in the middle of a cross-country flying lesson. Flew
from Leesburg, VA to Charlottesville, VA, had a cigarette in the terminal
building "because I could," (and because it was maybe 2 bucks and out of a
machine, which you just never see anymore), took the pic, and then flew back
to Leesburg.

I noticed your pic because it looks like you are in the right seat of a
plane. I wasn't sure because you're not wearing a headset. Are you a
pilot? If you are, one thing you will REALLY begin to appreciate about
quitting smoking is that you will not be rushing your ops just so you can
finally get on the ground and have that butt. Nic fits while flying ---
that's stress ya' don't need.

Now... we're getting off the track of this thread so I'll post a recipe and
flash my meter too.

Chocolate Dipped Shortbread
(with apologies to those of you who use the metric system)

2 cups flour
1 cup butter, softened, room temp
1/2 cup confectioners sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips, divided
1 tbsp shortening
Finely chopped nuts, jimmies/sprinkles, etc

In a bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar and vanilla. Mix well. Add 1
cup of the chocolate chips to the batter. Shape dough into 2-inch logs and
place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.
Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and shortening. Dip one end of cookie into
chocolate, then roll in nuts or jimmies/sprinkles. Place prepared cookies
on a wax-paper covered cookie sheet. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Makes 4 1/2 dozen.

I never made it to dipping in chocolate and waiting, actually, because I
LOVED the shortbread too much and could not wait for it. Now, I'm doing
South Beach, so someone ... just... kill... me....

I have achieved six months, four days, 23 hours, 0 minutes and 38 seconds,
of smoke-free living (and, with it, rather aggressive driving). This amounts
to 5578 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,324.66, and adding 2 weeks, 5 days,
8 hours, 50 minutes to my fabulous life.
