Re: THE TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL AAPK COOKBOOK
Phil, your oyster casserole has all the ingredients of our oyster stew, just in different ratios.
Sounds great.

Charlie Miss Vicki made the Sour Cream Potato Soup today and it was my supper this evening. I have to say it was EXCELLENT and anyone who hasn't had it has missed out on something wonderful. Oh, by the way, I liked it.

Re: THE TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL AAPK COOKBOOK
Over in another thread, I mentioned the making of a bread pudding with bourbon sauce that we were making for a Master Gardener function. I was asked for the Bourbon Sauce recipe by one of our own who really likes bourbon sauces.
I decided to make the recipe available for everyone.
Momma Z’s Bourbon Sauce Recipe
1- 12 oz can of evaporated milk
1- Cup whole milk
3 - T corn starch
1 – Cup of Sugar
¼ - Cup of Bourbon
2 - T Butter
Mix milks and sugar. Heat until scalding (180ºF) Mix corn starch with enough water to make a thin paste. Add to milk/sugar mixture. Cook on a low heat until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in bourbon and butter.
Serve over bread or rice pudding, either hot or cold.
While this sauce is good right off the stove, it seems to get better if refrigerated overnight.

Today in Bulgaria is celebrated the day of Saint Trifon - a feast of the winemakers and winegrowers. This is a very ancient holiday, pre-Christian, connected with the Thracian gods Sabazius, Zagrey and Dionysius. Friends, drink on this day a glass of red wine for health!

Just one question - do I understand correctly that you're frying the flour 45 minutes?

Re: THE TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL AAPK COOKBOOK
A summer proposal. A recipe that I illustrated a long time ago for a Russian forum. Fresh and very popular in Bulgaria cold soup "tarator." Traditionally, this soup is consumed with fried potatoes, but it is a very good addition for vodka and the Bulgarian beverage Mastika.
Products:
Bulgarian Yoghurt / Water - 1/1
Cucumber, garlic, walnuts, dill, sunflower oil or olive oil, salt.
That is all. It is consumed icy cold.

Re: THE TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL AAPK COOKBOOK
We've been enjoying several varieties of peppers for the last week or so. This afternoon we stuffed some Bell Peppers with a mixture of venison sausage, sour cream, onions, rice and cheese. We usually add mushrooms but there were none in the pantry and didn't feel like going to town.
The recipe calls for 6 Bell Peppers, 1 pound of hamburger, a cup of rice cooked, 1 chopped onion, a small can of sliced mushrooms, 1 cup of sour cream and 3/4 cup of shredded Mozzarella.
Clean the peppers, then microwave for 3 or 4 minutes. Sauté onions, mushrooms and meat. Mix all the ingredients and stuff the peppers, top with extra Mozzarella cheese, bake at 350 for about 35 minutes.
As you can see we had 9 peppers so we adjusted the recipe to fit, it ain't rocket science.
Got started with good intentions and ended up with only 2 pictures.
When we cut the stem end we save the "ring" or top of the pepper, freeze them for later use. Treefarmer

Re: THE TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL AAPK COOKBOOK
Thanks, Scott, they are pretty good. Several days ago we stuffed Jalapenos, Havasus, and even some mild Banana peppers for Miss Joy with a mixture of venison sausage and cream cheese, wrapped with bacon. Now that is some good stuff in my book! Before I devoured all of them we did up a couple of packages with the vacuum sealer as an experiment. 3 Jalapenos and 3 Havasu peppers completely baked then frozen for a snack on a later date. We'll see how that turns out.

Re: THE TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL AAPK COOKBOOK
Are there fans of sweets and desserts here?
Sweet temptation with fruits and caramel
Necessary products:
-two and half tea cups of sugar
-a dozen plums (The original recipe is with peaches, but I have tried with other fruits. With strawberries or blueberries it becomes incredible.)
-125 grams of butter
-a half of a tea cup walnuts (It can be without them, or with other nuts)
-4 eggs
-1 cup of milk
-5 soup spoons of oil (roughly)
-2 tea cups of flour
-10 grams baking powder
How to do it -
In a tray with diameter 30 cm, pour 1 tea cup of the sugar and caramelize on a modarate temperature until it turns into an amberish color. Get the tray off the hot plate, arrange the fruit pieces, on top of them put the walnut pieces and on top of all that put the butter (cut in thin pieces so it can cover everything balancely). In a previously warmed up oven at the temperature of 180 C (without a fan), bake for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the eggs with the remaining sugar, add the milk, oil and finally the flour with the baking powder. Pour this mix onto the caramelized fruits and put them back in to the oven for 30 minutes. After we get it out wait 5 minutes for it to harden, flip it upside-down into an appropriate plate and wait for it to cool down before eating.
