    Categories: Five, Nuts, Citrus
    Yield: 1.5 cups

    Interesting, but I think I'll stick with buying regular ricotta. My mom used to make lasagne with cottage cheese; after I married Steve, I gave her my MIL's recipie using ricotta. I think she made it a couple of
    times but then, as my siblings moved out, she stopped making lasagne. I still make it from time to time when I have to feed about 10-12 people.

    I only posted it as a "Burton" and as a curiosity. Bv)= Not
    something I would ever try.

    We never did do that much experimenting with cheese making--got into
    lots of other stuff tho. And, speaking of Burton, any word recently on
    how he and Shirley are doing?

    The only cheesemaking I actually participated in was making cottage
    cheese as a grade-school classroom project/experiment/demonstration.
    The result was, as I remember, edible but not memorable. Bv)=

    Sad to report Burt has fallen off his twig. "Burton A. Ford, 91, died

    Title: Wegman's Fish w/Tomatoes, Olives & Capers
    Categories: Seafood, Vegetables
    Yield: 6 Servings

    6 Filets-Roughy, Trout, Sole
    1/2 c Flour
    1/4 c Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    1 ts Capers, drained
    12 Pitted kalamata olives;
    - halved
    12 Sun-dried tomatoes; drained,
    - cut up (olive oil packed)
    28 oz Can cut tomatoes w/basil
    1/3 c Chopped parsley
    Salt & pepper

    Sprinkle fish lightly with salt and pepper and coat with
    flour.

    Preheat oil in large pan over medium heat. Add fish and
    cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. (A little longer [2 -
    2 1/2 minutes] for the Orange Roughy which is thicker and
    denser than the others, according to the demo man.)
    Transfer to paper towels to drain while preparing the
    sauce.

    Add capers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and canned tomatoes
    to the frying pan. Simmer until heated through, about 2-3
    minutes.

    Add fish back into pan with sauce; simmer two minutes.
    Transfer to platter and garnish with parsley.

    Shirley and I had full servings of this at a demo at a
    local Wegman's Supermarket. It was superb. The demo guy
    agreed with Kathy Pitt's caution to be <very> careful
    about overcooking fish. Kathy, Chief Cook at Texas Red
    Lobster, wrote me once here about the best way to order
    fish: ask the waiter to slowly walk the raw fish on a
    platter through the hot kitchen and serve it.

    Title: Godfrey's Buttermilk Fried Rabbit
    Categories: Game, Dairy, Herbs, Chilies
    Yield: 4 servings

    4 Cottontails; in serving
    - pieces
    2 c Buttermilk
    1 1/2 ts Oregano; mixed with
    1 1/2 ts Thyme; and
    1 tb Dried parsley
    +=OR=+
    2 tb Italian seasoning
    1 tb Paprika
    1 tb Garlic powder
    2 ts Cayenne; or more
    1 1/2 c Flour
    1 ts Salt
    2 c Oil

    Mix the buttermilk with the all the spices except the
    salt and flour. Coat the rabbit with the mixture and set
    in a covered container overnight, or at least 4 hours.

    When you are ready to fry, pour the oil into a large pan
    (a big cast iron frying pan is ideal) to a depth of
    about an inch. The general idea is you want the oil to
    come halfway up the side of the rabbit. Set the heat to
    medium-high.

    Meanwhile, take the rabbit out of the buttermilk and let
    it drain in a colander. Don't shake off the buttermilk
    or anything, just leave it there.

    Let the oil heat until it is about 325°F/165°C; this is
    the point where a sprinkle of flour will immediately
    sizzle. When the oil is hot, pour the flour and salt
    into a plastic bag and shake to combine. Put a few
    pieces of rabbit into the bag and shake to get it
    coated in flour.

    Set the coated rabbit pieces in one layer in the hot oil
    so they don't touch. Fry for about 8 to 12 minutes. Fry
    gently -- you want a steady sizzle. Turn the rabbit
    pieces and fry for another 10 minutes or so, until they
    are golden brown. The forelegs will come out first,
    followed by the loin, and the hind legs will come out
    last. You will probably need to fry in batches, so just
    leave the uncooked rabbit pieces in the colander until
    you are ready to flour them up and fry them. Don't let
    floured pieces sit.

    When the rabbit is ready, rest them on a rack set over
    a paper towel to drain away any excess oil. If you are
    cooking in batches, set this in a warm oven.

    Title: Grandma Robert's Hot Tamales
    Categories: Loo, Main dish, Pork
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 lb Ground chuck
    1/2 lb Ground pork
    4 lg Onions, chopped
    1 Clove garlic
    1 lb Shortening
    1 Box yellow cornmeal
    1 Bottle Mexene chili powder
    Salt & red pepper to taste
    Corn shucks

    MMMMM---------------------------GRAVY--------------------------------
    1 tb Flour, heaping
    1 tb Shortening, heaping
    Water

    MEAT FILLING: Saute onion and garlic in 1/2 pound shortening until
    tender. Add meat and cook slowly until reddish color disappears. Do
    NOT brown. Add 1/2 medium sized bottle chili powder. Add salt and
    red pepper to taste. Do not overcook or filling will taste dry.

    CORN FILLING: Add remaining 1/2 pound shortening and 1/2 bottle of
    chilli powder to cornmeal and season to taste with salt, pepper and
    red pepper. Scald with boiling water to make a mush of spreading
    consistancy.

    SHUCKS: Scald shucks that have been trimmed and allow to soften.

    GRAVY: Brown flour and shortening to about the color of mustard
    (roux). Add about 1/2 gallon (2 quarts) of water. Salt and pepper to
    taste.

    : STACKING, FILLING, COOKING OPERATION:

    FILLING: Place one heaping teaspoon of mush on shuck. spread out
    covering only 1/2 the length of the shuck. Add i heaping teaspoon of
    meat mixture over mush. Grabbing both sides of shuck begin rolling
    back and forth in a seesaw manner. This will roll the mush around
    the meat mixture cigarette style. Then catefully roll the shuck
    around mush. Fold the shuck in half at the middle so that both ends
    of thew shuck are facing up and only one end has mush/meat mixture in
    it. Repeat each tamale.

    STACKING: In a large stock pot place extra shucks on the bottom of
    teh pot to prevent sticking. Then begin pyramiding the tamales, open
    end up, working from center of the pot to the sides until enire
    recipe is stacked.

    COOKING: Pour the gravy over the open end of the shucks. Cover, cook
    slowly, steaming for 3 hours. You may have to add a little water. Do
    not allow the gravy to completely boil out.

    Title: Jim's Bean And Tomato Soup
    Categories: Soup, Beans, Ham, Tomato
    Yield: 1 servings

    1 lb Great northern beans
    1 md Onion, chopped fine
    1 qt Tomatoes, undrained
    1/8 ts Fennel seed, crushed
    1 1/2 ts Basil
    2 tb Dried cilantro, crushed
    1 Ham bone, should be at least
    1 1/2 lb Ham on bone
    -Salt and pepper to taste

    Wash and sort beans. Soak beans in enough cold water to cover to a
    depth of 1 inch. Next morning, add ham bone and enough water to cover
    bone. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 1/2-3/4 of an hour.

    Meanwhile, chop tomatoes and onions. Remove ham bone and set aside to
    cool. Add remaining ingredients and bring to the boiling point. Reduce
    heat and simmer. Remove ham from bone and chop into about 1/4 inch
    pieces and add to soup. Discard bone. Cover an simmer for 3-4 hours.
    Serve hot. Serve 6-8.

    NOTE: Tomatoes will cook apart. All ingredients are home grown except
    for beans, ham and fennel seed. Tomatoes are our home grown and
    canned. Ham is my hickory and corn cob smoked maple ham. This soup is
    better if made a day ahead and allowed to stand overnight in
    refrigerator. Soup freezes well.

    I started at the ripe old age of seven. I had this idea that it would

    Maple Jim was an amazing character. He also made his own sausage. When
    I brought Georgia to her first picnic (Flo's Canadian Caper) I also was
    sure to bring a jug of maple sirop (their spelling) from Funk's Grove
    which is just up the road from me and is a National Natural Landmark.

    I also made and brought a batch of sausage from this recipe. It was
    simmered in beer with sliced onions and green pappers which were used
    to "dress" the sandwiches. The sausages were either eaten straight-away
    or grilled.

    Title: Garlic Sausage
    Categories: Sausage, Pork, Chilies
    Yield: 3 Pounds

    2 lb Pork butt
    1/2 lb Pork fat
    1/3 lb Ham and ham fat
    10 cl Garlic; peeled
    1 ts White pepper
    2 tb Sage
    1/2 ts Cayenne
    2 ts Black pepper
    2 ts Quatre epices *
    2 tb Salt

    * 1 part nutmeg, 1 part ginger and 7 parts white pepper -
    (which is only THREE spices - UDD)

    Grind the pork butt, pork fat, ham and garlic on the
    large hole plate of a meat grinder.

    Place ground meat in a bowl, add spices and mix
    thoroughly.

    You can sautee a small quantity of the mixture and taste
    for seasoning.

    You may want to add more spices, salt, pepper or garlic.

    Stuff sausages into pork casings (available at most large
    meat stores or your friendly local butcher).

    You can saute sausages over low heat with a little butter
    for 15 to 20 minutes, or poach in simmering liquid.

    You may grill them as well.

    Serve with cold beer.

    Hi Dave,

    The only cheesemaking I actually participated in was making cottage
    cheese as a grade-school classroom project/experiment/demonstration.
    The result was, as I remember, edible but not memorable. Bv)=

    Memorable enough that you still remember doing it. We made butter in
    one of my grade school classes but I couldn't tell you what one now,
    just that we did it.

    It was third grade - and it was kinda neat. We made butter on the

    I think that was the grade we made the butter--teacher was a dairy
    farmer's wife.

    farm. When we had milking cows, that is. I had to crank the cream separator as one of my chores.

    For several years before Steve went into the Army, we bought raw milk in
    glass gallon jars from a local farmer. I'd let it sit for a day or so,
    let the cream rise to the top and then skim most of it. I'd make butter
    using either my electric stand mixer or blender. Buttermilk would go
    into biscuits and suchlike.

    will show you the butter churn we used. It's made by Kilner in England
    and has been in production well over 100 years. You get butter and
    "real" buttermilk - not that cultured stuff from the store. Bv)=

    I generally don't buy buttermilk. If I need sour milk for something,
    I'll add lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk, let it sit for a bit
    before using.

    Title: Sunbeam Tapioca
    Categories: Desserts, Pudding, Fruit, Low-fat
    Yield: 4 Servings

    3 tb Instant tapioca
    1 c Pineapple juice
    1 c Orange juice
    1 1/2 tb Lemon juice
    1/2 c Mandarin orange sections
    -(canned), drained
    1 c Canned pineapple
    -(crushed or tidbits),
    -drained

    Combine the instant tapioca, pineapple juice, and orange juice in
    a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture
    comes to a boil. Remove from heat; add the lemon juice. Cool,
    stirring occasionally. Add the fruit and chill until firm.

    HINTS: I used the 'packed in their own juices' tinned fruit, and
    so used the juice from the tins plus some water and OJ to make up
    the difference.
