This makes a really great gumbo. My co-workers just can't get enough of it but the family comes first. There is not a lot left to share. Guess I'll have to make co-workers their own pot of gumbo one day. (Note: I have also used leftover holiday turkey in place of the chicken.

2-tspn black pepper
1 tbspn salt
1-tspn paprika

This is for Rose in NC. In the Nov 26 the letter you asked for a gift a child could make for his Mom. Take a painters canvas and put his little hands in different colored paints. Of course two at a time. Place his little hand prints every which way on the canvas. Then with Grandma's help write his name and year in the corner. Then you can find an in expensive frame or just leave as is. I know his Mom will want to hang that in a special place. I did this for one of my Grandsons, and his Mom thought it was so great. You could use the tempera paints like the teachers use at school. Go on give it a try.

There has never been a time when I did not have the need to give at least some inexpensive gifts at the holidays. Often they were the most appreciated. I have a recipe to give now for anyone to make for gifts. I made these last year, and they were really welcomed. I can't say exactly how many I made, because I used different sizes of jars that I had saved, such as Chicken Bouillon granules, Vitamin E Cream jars, pretty Avon jars and even a few fancy jelly jars. I know I gave more than 9 and the cost of ingredients for the whole recipe is around $8.00. My friend bought matching Jelly jars for hers this year. I put a computer generated label on the lid telling the names of the three ingredients. Be sure to save some for yourself, it is so good you will want it.
Irma~Iowa

BODY LOTION
1 -15 Oz. bottle of Baby Lotion
2 - 4 Oz. jars of Vitamin E Cream [purchased at Dollar General they cost $1.00 each.]
1- 7.5 oz. Vasoline
Put all three ingredients in the large mixing bowl, and blend well with the mixer, using the rubber scraper to assist. When well blended, fill jars with screw-on lids, label, wrap and enjoy! The baby lotion helps give it the lovely fragrance, and remember that Vasoline also contains Aloe.


During the Christmas holidays the newsletter will not be sent out daily.  I plan to take a little time off to enjoy the holidays with friends.

Hello
This is for Lori in Orlando, asking for the pumpkin dessert made with Bisquick. Go to the Bottom of the newsletter to the Site Index, click on Bisquick and go to Pumpkin Spice Dessert. I am sure this what you are looking for.

Hi everyone,
Hope your Thanksgiving was good.
My cousin gave me a recipe yesterday (Sunday) that sounds great. It is made on the same basis as the Pina Colada cake, but using chocolate instead.
Shirley F

Butterfinger Chocolate Cake
1 box devils food cake mix
1 can eagle brand milk *
1 jar caramel ice cream topping *( she used the large cause she figures more is better)
1 (8 oz) container cool whip
3 large Butterfinger candy bars broken up ( not really big, but not crumbs either)

Prepare and bake cake as directed on package. After cake is done and still hot, poke holes all over with handle of wooden spoon. Pour the eagle brand milk over cake and allow to go down in the holes. Do the same with the topping. Let cake cool completely. When cool, cover with cool whip. Sprinkle broken candy bars over cool whip. *( She mixed the eagle brand milk and topping together and poured all at once)


Hi all,
Was reading back issues and found a peirogi recipe using large pasta shells and purchased mashed potatoes. Of course I can't find it now. Anyone know what issue it was in.
Thanks, Genie


This is a question for Gloria (SC) about her post in the Nov. 24th newsletter. For those of us who have never even seen a Kolachy, let alone eaten or made one, could you please elaborate on the filling you
use? Is this a jelly or jam type thing? My local store didn't have Solo filling and suggested maybe I wanted pie filling in cans. So what is the filling? Jelly? Jam? Pie filling? And what about the fresh
filling you mentioned? Do you have a recipe for that? Thanks for your help.

Rose in NC - A gift I received from the mother of some children I use to watch was a white apron with their handprints on it. They used a paint that does not wash out of the apron. It is a cherished gift. I remember them every time I use it.
Patty from the San Francisco Bay Area


This is for Rosy in N.C. concerning making something with her 15month old grandson for his mother for Christmas. I have received these many times from my daughter-in-laws and still have them to this day. Take an old disposable pie pan and spray Pam in pie pan before you pour Plaster of Paris into the pan this will make it easier to remove. Next have your grandson place either his hands or feet into the mold. You can put the date on with a knife or something pointed. While still wet put a hole in the top to place a ribbon through either to make a bow or to hang. When plaster has hardened remove from pan and decorate any way you wish.
You can also buy kits at A C Moore or other craft stores

Hi Nancy,
Great job with the newsletter, can't wait each day for it to arrive. Was going to make the Pecan Surprise Bars from the Nov.3rd newsletter from Merry M from Mn. but when I was organizing my ingredients I found she mentions brown sugar in the directions but does not list any in the ingredients. Could she please resend the recipe as I was going to make them for the holidays as my son-in-law is a pecan pie lover and I'd love to make them for him. Thanks
Marilyn from Mn.


Someone wondered about freezing leftover turkey gravy. I always freeze my extra BEEF, CHICKEN, and TURKEY gravy. Then I use it when making a pot pie, and especially beef stew. My stew is always tasty, and usually doesn't need any extra thickening.
Nancy C. Streator, Illinois


Nancy, this is for Fran who was asking if anyone had used the crème cheese frosting. This is Betty from Tyler, Texas, and yes I have used the cream cheese frosting with peppermint chips. It turned out great!!! It kind of reminds you of the butter mints that people serve at showers. Can anyone give me a list of the kinds that they have used? I would like to make a bunch of different kinds for Christmas and to bring to the office. Thanks in advance to everyone, and as always thanks to you Nancy for all your hard work. I really enjoyed reading about your history the other day!! You are in my prayers. Thanks again.
Betty


To Sally in Pa; You ask about freezing gravy. I do it all the time. Be sure you put it in a plastic "baggie" and squeeze all the air out. And if you thickened it with starch, all you have to do to reconstitute it is bring it to a boil, otherwise it will be grainy. You may lose the "catch". In other words it will revert to it's thinned state. If this happens, simply thicken it again. I have kept it for about six months with no problem. I often make gravy stock by simmering chicken bones for a couple hours. Alittle secret, I use vegetable broth base, buy it at the supermarket about 50¢ a can. Simmer chicken or beef bones for a couple hours in it and you have great tasting gravey base. If you want, toss in a chopped up onion and garlic, plus any other flavoring and wow, good stuff.
Don


Hello Nancy & everyone in "Nancyland",
First of all I'd like to say that every, single recipe I've tried from this newsletter has been a keeper, and I almost always get asked for the recipe or for leftovers to take home.

This year for Christmas presents for most of our friends & family, I am making a "holiday party in a bag". It will be a gift bag filled with holiday paper plates, napkins & cups (purchased at boxing day sales last year), Bonnie's Buffalo Chicken dip & a bag of tortilla chips, a jar of The Best Spaghetti Sauce You'll Ever Eat & package of spaghetti (I'm learning how to can this year!), some kind of dessert that can be frozen, possibly another freeze-able appetizer (mini-pizza quiche), the ingredient for kool-aid punch, and a Christmas music CD. I'm sick & tired of giving gifts that will likely never get used and know that everyone will love these delicious recipes, also I've been saying to my friends that "we never see each other anymore", so if it's like that for everyone, a quick party-in-a-bag ought to go over well.

A couple of days ago (Nov 8th), someone was looking for a dessert made with pineapple and whipped topping on a graham cracker crust, it is most likely the "4 tins and a tub" recipe that was posted in October (add you own pecans). My husband brought some home from the in-laws and thought it was the best, so he was really impressed when I re-created it the next day. I just mix graham crackers, butter and sugar and made the crust in a large cake pan, added the whipped cream & pineapple mixture and sprinkled a little more of the graham crackers on top.

Also, a few months back, in a magazine, I noticed a recipe for Buffalo Chicken dip that was similar to the one posted here except that all the ingredients were mixed together instead of layered in a dish. I make this recipe all the time, and freeze in in snack-size portions, it re-heats beautifully in the microwave for a quick snack. Sorry for being so long-winded, but I wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate the great recipes, and for a couple of variations on our favorites. Thanks again Nancy for all you hard work!

Fran in Ottawa
(ps - if any of my family are on this list, act surprised at Christmas!)


For Rose in NC Who wanted suggestions for making a gift with her 15 month old grandson, for his mom. I have done day-care for 30 years. One of my most loved presents to make with this age has been, go to a craft store and buy a canvas bag, or a canvas picture square. I then put some fabric paints in a pie tin and put the child's hand into the paint, then press their hands onto the item you're working on. These take several days to dry completely. I put the child's name and the date in the corner of the project. Parents love this, can also do on t-shirts or sweat shirts. The fabric paints wash off easily from their hands.
Boots in Va.


Nancy, this is for Caroles with an E. Tony's seasoning is a bottle of all purpose seasoning. It is made right here in Opelousas, La. just across town from where I live. It would be found in the salt and pepper isle. Hope this helps.
Gussie from South Louisiana.


Cathy K: Is this the Tomato Soup Cake you were looking for?

Tomato Soup Cake
2 eggs
3/4 cup oil or any other vegetable oil will do
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tin tomato soup
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup raisins

Mix eggs, oil, sugar, tomato soup and water in a large bowl. Mix baking soda, flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and raisins in another bowl. Add dry ingredients to first mixture. Mix well. Put in a bundt pan or loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven (350) for 1-1/4 hours.
This is delicious with butter on the slices.

This was sent in by Peggy from Belleville, Ontario, Canada. I haven't made it yet, but had copied and saved it when it was posted because it sounded so good. :-)
~Anna in MO~


Good Morning,
What a joy it is to have this newsletter to look forward to each day, even when we get an unexpected Thursday edition, that just adds to our blessings. I'm hoping for some computer help this time. When I copy a recipe I do the click on the recipe to highlight and change All to Selection. This works so well except when it's a long recipe. How do I keep from highlighting the whole page when it goes down further than I can see? I guess this probably seems like a silly question to most but my computer skills are very basic. Thanks in advance for the help.

Also a reader was asking about inexpensive gift ideas. When my kids were small and money was often tight a great gift to them or for the parents was a coupon book. It was filled with redeemable coupons for little work jobs or pleasures. Such as setting the table without being asked. Or getting an extra 1/2 hour of TV time before bed. My Mother used the same and one of my all-time favorite gifts received was to help make bread. What a treat that was. My Mother had a little extra piece of dough left over and she rolled it out to make a pizza for our lunch, with ketchup and potted meat. Yumm-yumm, to this day I can still taste that special meal we shared.

Hi Nancy and all Nancylanders
I usually just lurk but I wanted to thank the gal who sent in the Grape Salad recipe. I made it for Thanksgiving and it was the hit everyone else has said it was. So I want to contribute a pecan pie recipe that I have made for years. I think it might have come from one of those Sunday supplements
like Parade Magazine but it's been so long ago that I'm not sure. I have to make this pie every Thanksgiving and Christmas or my kids think it's some kind of a crime if I want to make something different. It's OK to make something different but this has to be on the table too.

Georgia Pecan Pie
3 eggs, beaten lightly
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla (right amount)
1 cup pecans (I usually use more)
3 Tablespoons butter, melted

Combine eggs, syrup and sugar. Stir in salt and vanilla. Let stand 5 minutes.

Put pecans in bottom of unbaked pie shell. Pour melted butter into egg mixture, stir and pour over
pecans. Bake at 375°F for 40 to 45 minutes.

Thanks again for all your hard work in getting this newsletter out. Give the fur babies a hug. I have 3 fur babies and 7 dogs so I do love my animals. They were all strays that we took in and they are all wonderful.

Hi Everyone!
I hope that you all had a blessed Thanksgiving. I wanted to add the fudge comments that everyone has been sharing. I made some over the weekend with chocolate chips and chocolate icing. After I had poured it into the pan I sprinkled it with chopped up peppermint patties. It was a nice surprise as to how good it is! It went back to med school with my neighbor, to my mom's house and to her neighbor next door. Everyone loved it.
Have a great day!
Gia


We also used to make kolachys but we called them diapers. The crust was the same as that sent by Gloria (SC) - 1 lb. each butter, flour, cream cheese, well chilled and rolled out 1/4 at a time and cut into 3" squares. The filling was dried mixed fruit, reconstituted by simmering in water until soft, 1 piece per square (prunes, apricots, pears, apples) folding up the 4 corners to meet in the center like a diaper. Bake @ 350 for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Mary K in Finger Lakes region, NY (age 72)


!!/24/2006
For Sally in Pa. I freeze gravy all of the time. First I freeze it in a plastic container, then I vacuum seal it using my "Food Saver." It's still good in a year if you do it that way. It probably will need to be used within a couple of months if you don't vacuum seal it.
Donna in Colorado


Nancy:
I don't know how it happened but my previous posting of this recipe today may have had ingredients included that should not have been included. This is for Sue in North Carolina who was looking for Black Walnut Cake recipes.
Mr. Myron Drinkwater - Lake Forest, CA

BLACK WALNUT SHEET CAKE
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 sticks (1/2 lb) margarine or butter
4 Tbsp Cocoa powder (like Hershey's)
1 cup water
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs

Sift the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Melt the margarine or butter and mix with the cocoa powder and water. Bring to a rapid boil over medium-high heat and pour over the dry ingredients. Add the
buttermilk and eggs. Bake in a cookie sheet pan with sides in a preheated oven at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes. If a wooden toothpick inserted in several places on the cake comes out clean the cake is done.

ICING FOR SHEET CAKE
Melt 1 stick (1/4 lb) of margarine then add 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 6 tablespoons of buttermilk. Bring to a boil and add 1 box (1 pound) of powdered sugar and 1 cup of black walnuts. Spread the icing on the cake while both the cake and icing are hot.


Hi Nancy! Some time back you mentioned that you had a Magic Bullet and how much you liked using it. This past weekend Kohls had a great buy - I thought - and so I bought one. Any suggestions would be appreciated so much. Hope you and your kitty cats are all fine.
Thank you! Lynette in Houston

Comment
The Magic Bullet has a site that has a lot of information on it. The first time I used it my chicken salad tasted great but I the consistency was much to fine. It took me a few times to get it just right. I love it for salad dressings, milk shakes, and soups. Their recipe for alfredo is very good too. I love mine. I find it works great with most any recipe using a blender. Just make sure that the amount will fit in the size of the container. I love being able to put the lid on the container and storing it into the refrigerator.

Nancy, I may have made a mistake in putting together the grahamn cracker dip. It is first mix the sour cream in with the Kool Whip and vanilla put in fridge 1 hour then add cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar. Old age!!!
Mary Ann upstate NY


To Nancy PA, as to the “Icing and Chip Fudge” recipes, my family as well did not care for it neither, I have just about finished my fav white chocolate chips, vanilla frosting, coconut and toasted almond fudge, DH did not like it and neither did my other Thanksgiving guests like the other fudge recipes, chocolate fudge and peppermint fudge,

The chocolate fudge was too dark chocolate, I think I will try and salvage (mess it up) the chocolate by putting it back in the microwave and then add the marshmallow crème to it, just lighten up the heavy taste of dark chocolate.

Also in reply to Barb in DE, about the grape salad, mine was not “juicy” in fact it was very dry, I did use the “other” cream cheese 1/3 less calories, light sour cream and splenda products, maybe that was what made it dry…I also left the grapes whole, some other cooks had suggested splitting the grape.

Glad turkey day is over, now onward to Christmas and New Year Days menu.
What’s cookin’ COOKS, this lady cook needs some more creative dishes to try out.
Dotty in Humble

Comment
Everyone has different tastes. I found the dark chocolate was much too chocolately so I used the milk chocolate and the chocolate chips. I also found the quality of the chips made a big difference. I tried the cheaper chocolate chips, the more expensive chips in the stores and found the best was the bittersweet wafers from Prepared Pantry. It had the best flavor. I also tried several qualities of butterscotch chips and the chips from Prepared Pantry had the best flavor as well.

Jeanlock in McLean VA submitted the suggestion of a family/mom's cookbook as a gift. I second that motion! And I think we should all make a promise to ourselves to do this IMMEDIATELY!

My mother was always going to 'fix Grandma's recipes' and never managed to get it done. I've been plugging away at it with little success since most of the family recipes were on scraps of paper too old to work with, too lard and oils stained to read or are buried in the cemetery with Grandma, Mom and my aunts. Too many great people, recipes and memories gone.

I ha ve managed to figure out that Grandma's cup measurement was the old enamel cup from the water pump and that her tablespoon was the big metal spoon she used to stir jelly (actually is eq ual to about 1 /4 Cup!!!)

Hello to all after Thanksgiving dieters. Can we start a support group? The real reason I'm here is to thank Lynette in N.Y. for sending in the great links. I am an hour late for work, good thing the secretary will cover for me. They were great and I have bookmarked two for later and also sent the links to friends and family members who like to cook.

Hi Nancy and Nancylanders, Nancy hope you had a nice visit over the holidays, and are looking forward to more visits at Christmas. HELP! I plan to make several batches of fudge and am not sure how to freeze it without it being sticky when thawed. Thanks ahead to you and all the other"kitcheneers" out there. Margaret, Tulsa


Hi...I want to thank Sandy for the nice note reguarding the passing of my Furry Cat Son Pumpkin. I really appreciated it. I read Rainbow Bridge and it really did help.
Thank you Again, Sherrie from Delaware


Hoooooray I'm back on line after 2 weeks of frustration, now I'm receiving my newsletters and to be able to keep in touch with all my favorite cooking friends and of course Nancy and her furry darlings. Peggy from Belleville Ontario Canada


Dear Nancy, I really appreciate your concern about me... I had some trouble with my PC for a while. Until now I am getting it back (a new one), so I am trying to catch up with the newsletters.

This is for Donna S, from IL. on the September 6th newsletter. She is concerned about "brown" avocados. Don't worry Donna, it is safe to it them when they turn brown. 3 years ago, I had a "chat-friend" from Argentina visiting me for 3 months. I was surprised to see that he did not eat avocados the way we do (green) he used to say they were not ripe, so he would wait until they were turning brown. Another thing that I was surprised was that he would not eat the pears with green skin, because they were not ripe enough, so what he would do, was to cook them with sugar and eat them. This is all for today, until next time.
Xochitl, from Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico


For Avagail in MO:

Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball
1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans

In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in sugars, vanilla and chips. Cover and chill in refrigerator for one hour. Shape chilled mixture into a ball. Return to refrigerator for one hour. Roll in pecans. Serve with graham cracker dipping sticks.

Another idea for leftover cranberry sauce: mix about 1/2 can jellied sauce with 1 Tbl horseradish - super on those turkey sandwiches I know we're all eating LOL!

Hi Nancy:
Your readers have always come through for me when I needed help with a recipe. My son's fiancé is coming to stay for a week. She is from Albania and I'm hoping to be able to make some Albanian main dishes and desserts for her. Any help or advice would be so appreciated. Your newsletter is the best!
Thanks for your help in advance.
Laurie from Brooklyn


Rose, about 25 years or so ago, I did this for a grandmother gift: Draw an outline (on paper with pencil or marker) of toddler’s hands. Make caption: (name)’s Hands December 25, 2006. Complete this piece of art using your choice of frame, matting, backgrounds, colors, etc. Does not have to be fancy.

Another idea used: draw, or get an artist to draw a silhouette of child’s head (side view). Black and white made this art very outstanding. I suggest putting a date somewhere on art for future reference.

I have noticed more names popping up from Louisiana. My husband brought me here Labor Day weekend 1957 and the diverse cultures of this State still draw my attention. A lot of wonderful people; a lot of good cooks!

Here is a recipe that you can make Jell-o from kool-aide. My husbands cousin gave me this recipe and it does work. You can use different flavor kool- aide to make the rainbow jello

JELL-O FROM KOOL- AIDE
1 pkg. unsweetened kool-aide
2 pkg. knox gelatin
1/2 cups sugar
4 cups boiling water

Combine kool-aide, gelatin and sugar in bowl. Pour boiling water over until dissolved. Put in refrigerator until set.

Re: Homemade Christmas Gift
How about making a his handprint. I did this for my daughter who has 2 boys and did them at different times and she thought that this was a great gift.
Emma from Montana


Does anybody have a good Lime jello recipe? My friends Aunt use to make one, That was clear on bottom with crushed pineapple and walnuts; the top had a creamy mixture with cream cheese or sour cream.
Roseann


This is for Gloria (SC). She asked in the Nov. 26 newsletter, what part of Ohio I (Cheryl in OH) am from. Well, Gloria, it is indeed a small world. I'm living in the Cleveland area. What part of the Cleveland are you originally from? I live in North Olmsted, which is a very nice west suburb of Cleveland. I raised my kids in Westlake, Ohio.

As for our other inquiry, yes the cheese filling came out soooo good. It's perfect. I've been looking for this exact recipe for ages. Thank you so much. I made them last week and froze them. Now to keep my hands out of the freezer, and off them. Have a great week everyone.
Nancy, thanks again for the great newsletter.
Cheryl in Ohio


A few days ago, someone mentioned finding cinnamon chips at Walmart. I checked at my closest Walmart & they did not have them. Spoke to a manager & he said he hadn't seen them in a long time. I really would like to try the fudge with them. I made the cherry chips w/ milk chocolate froating & peanut butter chips w/ the vanilla frosting. We liked the peanut butter best. Could the person who found the cinnamon chips tell me what city to see if they could be requested by our local Walmart. Thank you, Anne in central Fl.


To Peggy NELA:
I believe the site for computer help for seniors, that you are looking for is; http://www.seniornet.org.
I have not tried it yet, so I cannot vouch for it. Give it a try.
