Quahog Chowder

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:51:16 -0400

The clam that Rhode Islanders call a quahog possesses an impressive variety of names, and even the word "quahog" has more than one spelling and a number of pronunciations: KO-hog, KWO-hog, and KWA-hog. Indians used quahog shells to make beads that were used as money (called wampum). Although quahogs can be found along the North American Atlantic coast from Canada's Gulf of Saint Lawrence to Florida, these clams are particularly abundant between Cape Cod and New Jersey.

Rice and Honey Pork Chops

A fabulous dish I made one night. I am helping to take care of my grandmother and she has mentioned that she feels like she gets the same meals all the time so I decided to try something new. I reached for one of her old cookbooks (Pillsbury Kitchens' Cookbook, Copy. 1979) and found something to make with what I had available in the house, tweaking it a bit. The rice is divine with a tart but sweet flavor and the pork chops come out practically falling apart, I used boneless chops from the loin.

Easy Potato Candy Bonbons

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:54:08 -0500

This recipe has been handed down by Pennsylvania Dutch farmers for years. I got it from my Mom who got it from her Mom, etc. It has few ingredients, zero fat, and has a texture akin to fresh fondant, literally melting in your mouth, not in your hand. Almost limitless potential- flavoring could be anything, and depends upon ingredients on hand, mood, season, etc. (My mother used to use mint flavoring.) Most often I bring this to church potlucks, or for Christmas and wedding occasions as it is easy to make and when people start eating it, they seem to never get quite enough. -- posted by Rubyscarab

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

I got it from my mother, who used to serve it all the time, and now goes for the creamy type punches. It is fast and easy to make,too.

Gramercy Tavern Gingerbread Cake

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:17:26 -0500

This recipe produces an incredibly moist, dark, rich, sticky, dense gingerbread cake with a complex and spicy flavour . I've slightly modified the recipe based on the one Claudia Fleming, pastry chef, prepares at New York City's famed Gramercy Tavern. The original version is in brackets. Recipe was printed in "Gourmet Magazine" (Feb. 2000). Cake develops a lovely caramelized crust that can stick to the pan. Spray generously with cooking spray with flour or line pan with parchment paper (greasing both well) and allow cake to cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. You can use part whole-wheat flour and, if you want to avoid alcohol, you can replace the stout with strong coffee. Recipe makes a 10" bundt cake (or springform); if you want, you can halve the recipe for an 8x8 square pan. Cake is even better the next day (so it is a good make-ahead dessert). Serve cake plain, dusted with confectioners sugar, with whipped cream, or with vanilla ice cream. -- posted by blucoat

This recipe comes from an older, but local Church cookbook of family favorites. While the meat loaf is pretty standard, it is the sauce that intrigued me. We especially like it and I hope you will as well. This is comfort food! Just remember ovens vary so your time may be different. -- posted by Debaylady

Dried Blueberries (Method)

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:48:56 -0400

I ripped this from a Thanksgiving book. The book said " today we store blueberries in the refrigerator or freezer. In the 1620's, Americans dried berries to preserve them for winter. The Pilgrims referred to these little, round, blue skinned berries as whortleberries or billberries...often Native Americans rehydrated or plumped up their dried berries by soaking them in hot water for 15 minutes before serving." This could be a healthy snack or a nice add in for a salad or for whatever you can think of. -- posted by Oolala

Jim Laheys No-Knead Pizza Margherita

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:27:06 -0400

This is a great recipe for a simple, thin crust pizza. It's from Jim Lahey (of no-knead bread fame) who now runs a popular NYC pizzeria called Co. The recipe was printed in New York Magazine (Jul 12, 2009). If you don't have a pizza stone, this works well in a cast iron skillet. The recipe requires very little time and effort but the dough must be started the day before. -- posted by blucoat

Griswold Inn Indian Pudding

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:36:37 -0400

The Griswold Inn, built in 1776 in Essex, Connecticut, has promised first-class accomodations to travelers since the stagecoach-steamboat days. This traditional molasses-rich dessert isn't as popular as it used to be, but it remains a very tasty treat. Despite the title, early New England settlers did not adapt this recipe from native Americans: 'Indian' refers to the 'Indian meal' used - cornmeal, as wheat flour wasn't available. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. -- posted by Molly53

Christmas or Anytime Punch

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:11:43 -0400

The Love Chef, Francis Anthony who appeared on the Regis and Kathy Lee show, calls this a Christmas punch but it is equally appropriate in the summer. Ahead of time, freeze the water or lemonade in a ring mold to make an ice ring. For a specially festive touch, place whole strawberries in the ring before adding the liquid and freezing. From the Cooking with Regis and Kathy Lee cookbook. -- posted by Sharon123

Boston Cream Pie

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:58:27 -0500

An ancient Good Housekeeping recipe that I religiously make every New Years day. If you've never made a scratch cake, you don't know what you're missing. Using cake flour is a must. See Lennie's recipe #87689. Be sure to properly measure your flour by lightly spooning into a measure cup until overflowing then using the backside of a knife to level off. Too little flour will produce a callapsed cake and too much will have wet spots with dense layers. Cake layers freezeable. Prep time also includes assembly time. -- posted by gailanng
