Thu, 22 May 2003 20:03:21 -0400

For all of the Alton Brown turkey brine fans out there, this is Mr. Brown's brine for shrimp cocktail. I personally like to add a few extra spices to my brine, which are listed above, but I've posted his original brine as he made it on his show. Ever since I found this recipe, its become ONLY way I ever make peel and eat shrimp cocktail. The shrimp come out so moist, and full of flavor! -- posted by Kozmic Blues

New York City Black and White Cookies

Mon, 07 Aug 2006 21:43:07 -0400

Look to the cookie. These cake-style cookies are a staple in New York City. Growing up we used to buy these all the time and you can still get them in every bake-shop in the city. They were made famous to the rest of the world by an episode of Seinfeld entitled "The Dinner Party". They are more like small cakes than crunchy or chewy cookies, and should be roughly the size of the palm of your hand, if not, bigger. These are great for taking to a potluck, or if you've got a wayward New Yorker around. -- posted by Chef Hayley

White House Chicken (Oregano Chicken)

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 19:57:52 -0500

From a community cookbook that I removed and had in a pile. It says it's from The White House. Not sure what year but here it is. Note: 3-4 hrs. marination. Can bake or grill this easy recipe.* I have another version of this recipe called Chicken Oregano where you just rub the spices and lemon juice on a whole chicken, about 2 1/2 lbs.,inside and out, and then place in a 7 X 10 inch baking dish with 1 cup of water and 1/2 stick of butter. Bake at 400 degrees F. until golden brown and then lower oven to 350 degrees F. and bake for about 30-40 minutes longer, basting frequently. That recipe was from Katherine Beeson of the Azalia Garden Club, Marion, SC. I found the recipe again as a favorite of Mrs. Richard Nixon from Favorite Recipes of our First Ladies, 1971. It is called Barbacued Chicken in that book. -- posted by Oolala

Hot Dr. Pepper

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 01:02:23 -0400

Here's yet another trip down Nostalgia Lane by the old bone man. (There are more, including county fair specialties on my recipe list). They used to advertise this on American Bandstand (hosted by Dick Clark) in the 50s and this drink's popularity finally died out somewhere around the mid-60s. But you can STILL do it if you have a notion! *.* -- posted by Bone Man

Martha Washington's Great Cake

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 17:35:12 -0500

Just the other day--while laying on the couch being sick--I watched Martha Stewart's TV program. Caroline Kennedy is writing a book featuring recipes from our country's past. Martha brought out her old catering service HUGE Hobart mixer, and it was fun (being sick & all "fun" is relative!) to watch her put this together---WOW! Today I was paging through a "Christmas traditions" book my SIL gave me a few years ago and wow--here's the recipe Martha S. & Caroline Kennedy were re-creating on the TV program. The book says, "From an old manuscript dated 'Mount Vernon, 1781" made by Martha Custis Washington for her grandmama." I'm purely guessing on the serving amounts. -- posted by Debber

The Authentic Bean Soup Served in the United States Senate!

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 18:29:41 -0500

this is from Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and he says... Whatever uncertainties may exist in the Senate of the United States, one thing is for sure: Bean Soup is on the menu of the Senate restaurant every day. The origins of this culinary decree has been lost in antiquity, but there are several oft-repeated legends. One story has it that Senator Fred Thomas Dubois of Idaho, who served in the Senate from 1901 to 1907 and sat as chairman of the committee that supervised the Senate restaurant, gaveled through a resolution requiring that the bean soup be on the menu every day. Another account attributes the bean soup mandate to Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota, who expressed his fondness for it in 1903. In any case, Senators, and their guests, are always assured of this hearty, nourishing dish. They know they can rely upon its delightful flavor and epicurean qualities. -- posted by carrie sheridan

Vincent Price Bookbinder Snapper Soup

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:15:10 -0500

Here is the Bookbinder Snapper Soup recipe from Vincent Price's "A Treasury of Great Recipes" (1965). It differs from the Chicago Tribune Good Eating Cookbook version in various ways, most notably by being the original and uses snapping turtle. Mr. Price notes: "...you can make a sort of 'mock snapper' soup using a red snapper." Instructions on how to make the subsitution are in the recipe. This is an old fashioned recipe, and doesn't take many shortcuts. Info on the "Old Original Bookbinders" Philadelphia restaurant is available on Wikipedia. -- posted by Julesong
