Thanks to Doris from Oklahoma City for all those wonderful variations of the Pineapple Angel Food Cake. We love that one - and now can't wait to try the rest!!

And thanks to you, Nancy - you know I think you're the greatest!
Rosemarie from rural Kansas City

To Doris in Oklahoma-------Thank you from one of the 7 members that requested the variations of the angel food cake!
Connie from Beech Grove

Hi Nancy, You continue to do an awesome job!! I liked the way you put the Angel Food Cake variations together. You definitely condensed them in the best way for everyone.

This is for Jen in Ohio who is looking for a dessert "finger food" for church. Why don't you make mini Cheesecakes. You can buy the paper or foil cups in the miniature version, make a crumb crust from cookies, or buy the packaged cookie crumbs, ( I love progress!) and just make a regular batch of cheesecake.

I made these during the holidays and flavored each batch with a different flavor; mint, cherry, almond, orange. They are really good and freeze really well too.

Doris is the one that condensed them. I thank her too.
Nancy

My thanks goes out to those who sent in variations to the angel food cake recipe. I copied them all on one sheet of paper and will use a magnet to permanently attach to my refrigerator. My husband and I love the pineapple one, but I must try it with coconut and rum extract. It will take us back to when we were sipping Pina Coladas on the Waikiki beach many years ago.

Also, I would like to pass some information onto AK. I know you were asking for recipes, but may I suggest that it is not so much the recipe, but how you cook it. When the temperatures get hot around here, we do a lot of grilling. I have a big roaster that I can plug in out on the deck. But, did you know that small appliances don't seem to give off as much heat as having the oven on? The crock pot isn't just good for winter meals. Also my Pizza cooker gives off very little heat and doesn't have to preheat. We make pizzas, grilled sandwiches and French fries on it. I heard it is good for the frozen fish sticks and chicken nuggets, too, although I haven't had any of them. Even cooking on top of the stove is better than turning the oven on. I always have some cold salads made up in the frig, since they are so easy to make with all the fresh produce available. Hope this gets you thinking about other methods.
Sandy in Iowa.

I love all the variations that have been sent in as well. I plan to try them all at some point.

For Karen in IL,

The different variations for the Angel Food Cake
Recipes she wrote one lemon. Is this the same one for your Lemon Bars? If not the same could you Please post that recipe for me.
Thank You and God Bless. Yvonne in Iowa.

Hi Nancy, This letter is in regards to Nancy, Houston about the Ham Rolls, I have the recipe, but I call them Ham Delights.

Ham Delights
1 stick margarine
3 Tlbs. prepared mustard
3 Tlbs. poppy seed
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
40 count Pepperidge Farm rolls
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. thinly sliced ham, shredded
Blend margarine, mustard & poppy seed. Split rolls & spread on top & bottom with above mixture. Place shredded ham & Mozzarella cheese on each roll. Wrap in foil & heat 10 minutes @ 400º or until cheese melts. The spread is delicious on hamburgers & toasted meat sandwiches.

Also to Trish about the Dutch Process Cocoa, Target Super Center has it.

Also to Barb, WNY about the powdered Chicken bouillon, Wyler's makes a Granules Chicken, which is flavored instant bouillon. Also there is a Chicken base which is used in soups. The Wyler's is found were the chicken bouillon cubes are.

Becky, OKC

I am responding to the note from Joyce from Ky. on June 26, 2006 about the Belgia flip waffle maker. I decided to get one after having the waffles on a trip we made. I got the waffle maker from Williams Sonoma because of the size. It is great. You get a recipe book with it.
Barbara from NC

Hi Nancy: This is for Joyce in Kentucky who is looking for a Flip-Over Waffle Maker. QVC has one. It's about $80. Looks like a good one and seems to be reasonable prices. I believe the brand if Rival.
Marie G

Hi...this is for Joyce in KY. 6-26-06 newsletter.
This is so funny, because I too made the waffles at a hotel last year and decided I had to have a "flip" waffle maker. I bought the Waring Pro and I LOVE it. I got it at Costco for $49.00 and my friend just
bought one at Sam's Club for the same price. QVC also sells it, but their price is about $80.00. Yikes!
The waffles come out perfect and you can vary the crispness to your choice. The hotel we stayed at use a malted batter and I found the brand they used at Cost Plus. I know there are other brands of this type of waffle maker, but IMHO the Waring Pro is a winner.
Barb in San Diego

Hi Joyce in Ky,
I have use one of those waffle makers in a couple motels myself. In fact I was looking for one too.
I have seen them demonstrate the kind they use at motels on QVC. A home shopping network on TV.

Go to http://qvc.com and type in waffle maker or K-2331 in the search area and this one will come up for you. It is a Waring Pro Stainless Steal Professional Waffle Maker for $79.50 and no shipping and handling charges at this time. If you can't get them on TV there phone # to talk to someone about this product is 1-800-345-1515. They are nice people there. I have ordered things from them before. I want to order this my self.

Guess I better get it ordered before they add shipping costs to it too. Hope this is what you are looking for and hope this helped. Let me now how it turns out for you..

Hi Nancy and gang,
I am sending in my favorite banana bread recipe because it just can't be beat. This makes the
best banana bread I have ever eaten, hope y'all will like it too. I have made it into muffins too.
Mary in TX (Amarillo)

My Best Banana Bread
What takes this banana bread out of the realm of the traditional is the addition of flaked
coconut and raisins to the batter.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup flaked coconut
3 eggs, beaten
**optional ingredients:
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease two 8-inch loaf pans.

In a large bowl stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the oil, bananas, raisins, coconut, and eggs (vanilla if using it). Mix well. Add pecans and stir in, if using them. Pour into prepared pans and let sit 20 minutes.

Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack.

Makes 2 loaves

Did your part of Amarillo get rain. Some parts got lots in a short period of time and others didn't get any. I was running around and was in the part that got lots and lots of rain. I had to stop and pull over and wait til the rain stopped.  (Most of the time in the Panhandle of Texas it stops almost before it starts)

For Boots in Virginia. We bought our first MicroWave in 74". Paid $600.00 for it too. It's a Sharp and still working, but when we moved into our new house it was too big to go into the space for one, so we went to WalMart and bought another Sharp for $99.00 and it has all the bells and whistles of it. One of the things I really like though is the turn table. Hope this helps.

Have you ever had one of those days when you just wish two kitties (Siggy and Ditto) would find someone else's desk to play on? I am having difficulty keeping from laughing as I am doing the newsletter. Siggy is asleep on my desk beside me and Ditto is trying to stuff his tail down the hole in the desk (where the computer cords are supposed to go.) Siggy is ignoring the whole thing.

Ditto imitates everything he sees. Since I have been loosing weight I go in every morning to the kitchen, tap the scales and wait til it zeros out. I then step up on the scale and see how much I weigh. This morning a little after I had weighed I went back into the kitchen to get a drink. There was Ditto tapping the scale with his paw, waiting and then stepping up on the scale. He looked down at it just I always do. I didn't have my camera but will try and snap a picture of him on the scale. It makes the little critters all worth while when they bring so much happiness into my life.

Hi Nancy Keep up the good work.
Barb in Wny I live near a small Amish market that has the powder that I think you are looking for they also have Ham, Beef and I think Vegetable as well as Chicken and it is not expensive if you want I will get you some to try.

Sue who made the blender cheesecake Did you make it in a 10 in DEEP dish that is what I use all the time and it fits.

Karen in South Dakota I don't know about that but itf you want to freeze the corn I have a great recipe that you don't have to blanch you bake it in the oven or microwave and it is so easy you can do everything outside.

Now can you help me I saw the omelets that were made in a plastic bag and forgot to copy them now I don't remember when they were.
Thanks Judy/Lola

To Sue, who questioned the size of the 10 inch pie plate in June 26th issue, regarding the Blender Cheesecake Recipe: The pie plate needs to be a 10 inch DEEP DISH pie plate OR, I have made it in a 9 inch springform pan with good success as well.

This is for Nina from TN 6/9. Looking for Meatball w/uncooked White Rice. I knew that I had this. Just needed to look. I found it in Dinners for Two by Betty Crocker published in 1965. It has been awhile since I made these but, I remember that they were very good. Kind of like the insides of a stuffed pepper without the pepper flavor.

Porcupines
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup uncooked rice
1/4 cup milk or water
2 tablespoon chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
dash of pepper
l Tablespoon Oil
1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix beef, rice, onion, and seasonings. Form into 4 medium balls. Pan fry in the oil, turning frequently, until light brown (but not crusty) on all sides. Add tomato sauce, water, and Worchestshire sauce. Mix well. Cover; simmer 45 min. over low heat. Add a small amount of additional water if liquid cooks down too much. 2 servings.

Could someone PLEASE repeat the mixture for the homemade carpet cleaner using the Clorox 2 in it? I want to clean my carpet this weekend after all of the rain here in North Carolina, and the muddy doggy paws I need it. I copied it but silly me didn't save it and when I got home,
naturally the power went out so I lost it. THANKS!!!

Do you have a recipe for green chile casserole where you put the green chiles on bottom layer then add cheese and egg mixture.
Vi in Tex

Have been reading so much about Greased Lightning that I just have to try it. What kind of container does it come in and where can it be purchased? Since I am from Canada I don’t think I can purchase it here but my daughter is going on a shopping expedition soon and I would have her get it for me.
