Pear Honey

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Dreamgoddess  

My friend in Nacogdoches, Texas makes this pear honey and I love it. My wife had to learn the recipe and every year we mooch pears. Can't wait for my trees to get large enough to bear fruit. LR Beckwith — LR Beckwith Oct 17, 2002

Shrimp Gumbo

South Louisiana Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (No Okra!)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Missy Wright  

Folks, This is pretty good, but it ain't gumbo. "Gumbo" means "okra". That is the literal translation. I was born and raised in Louisiana and I've had this argument with my Mother-in-law a thousand times. She loves fried okra but doesn't like it... — LR Beckwith Oct 14, 2002

Good-Morning Pancakes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lennie  

My wife made these over the weekend for me. We both loved them. She cut the sugar, we're both diabetic and added a pinch of salt. They were wonderfully light. Can't wait to get back to the states to make them for the kids. LR and Bonnie in China. — LR Beckwith Oct 6, 2002

E-Z Poached Eggs for 2

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Aroostook  

This is an excellent poached egg recipe. It looks better with white pepper. The instant cheese sauce in markets makes a great topping for these eggs. LR Beckwith — LR Beckwith Oct 2, 2002
