<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Simply the Best</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Chicken Ever</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> This is one of those non-recipe recipes--just use the amounts you need for the size of your crowd:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: small;">Thin-Cut Chicken Breast</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: small;">Black Pepper</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Garlic Salt</b></i> or <i><b>Seasoned Salt</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">Equal portions <i><b>Yellow Mustard</b></i> and <i><b>Honey</b></i> (I use 1/2 Cup each for 6 people)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Drizzle of <i><b>BBQ Sauce</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Roughly Chopped <i><b>Red Onion</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sharp <i><b>Cheddar Cheese</b></i>, grated</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: small;">Bacon Bits</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">(You could even add sliced sauted<i><b> Mushrooms</b></i>, if you like that kind of stuff, but I don't) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Preheat oven to 400*. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy foil. Place your Chicken Breasts on the foil, season and top with Honey-Mustard, BBQ Sauce, and Red Onion. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Top with Cheese and Bacon Bits, bake an additional 5 minutes, until Cheese melts. Serve with steamed Broccoli and New Potatoes to your hungry family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Blessed are they which do</span></b></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This has become a last-minute staple in our house this past year. I usually have Chicken in the freezer and everything else is a pantry (or fridge) staple. Don't have an ingredient? That's ok. Leave it out and keep going. Best yet--this is ready in 30 minutes and everyone loves it! Sometimes you'll find variations of this online as "Alice Springs Chicken" or "Outback Steakhouse Chicken". </span></span></i></div>

Want to make me happy? bring me a burrito. Nothing tastes better after a hard Saturday's work in the yard than an extra-spicy Burrito with loads of lime juice and an icy Pepsi with more lime juice. I've been trying to mimic Taco Truck Burritos, and it's been a year-long challenge on several different levels: 1) I'm not Hispanic, and haven't grown up cooking with all the 'proper' ingredients, so I've had to stumble through finding the right flavors, and 2) it seems like each time I have a Burrito from a Taco Truck--and it's always the same truck--it tastes slightly different. So, if you're familiar with the, shall I say, 'authentic' or 'proper' way to make a Taco Truck Burrito and I'm not doing some step in the process right, let me know. I'd love your feedback. And Enjoy!</span></i></span></span></span></div>

To serve my four (hungry) kids and myself, I used:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 pint home-canned Chicken Breast</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1-1/2 Cups finely shredded Mexican Cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/4 Red Onion, roughly chopped</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/4 to 1/3 Cup BBQ Sauce</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4-1/2 teaspoons Mayo, approximately, enough to help bind together</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and, (I admit it) Bacon Grease, a small spoonful in the pan as grease for each Quesadilla</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You'll just want to mix everything (but the grease) together in a medium bowl</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">In a large mixing bowl, combine the Dry Ingredients. Stir in the Eggs and Buttermilk, using enough Buttermilk to achieve desired consistency (we like thinner pancakes and use 2-1/2 Cups). Heat griddle over medium heat until water drops, when flicked onto the pan, sizzle and evaporate. Coat pan with your desired non-stick medium--Bacon Grease adds wonderful flavor! Fry batter in 1/4-cup amounts--do not flip until the rising bubbles pop and hold their shape (if you use these bubles as your gauge you shouldn't need to peek under the pancake to see if it's ready to flip). Then, and only then, will you be able to successfully flip your pancake without making a mess of everything. Fry on the second side for 10-15 seconds, then serve to the hungry one who is standing near with her plate, ready for breakfast. Serves 6 hungry people.</span></div>

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Mexican Churros</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bring just to a boil in a medium saucepan:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>2-2/3 Cups Water</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 Cup Brown Sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 teaspoon Salt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Turn off heat. Using a hand mixer, beat in until well blended:</span><i><b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 Cups Flour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Mix in:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4 Eggs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 teaspoon Vanilla</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For Serving:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture (I like a ratio of 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon to 1/4-Cup Sugar) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This will make a stiff batter. Put batter in a large pastry bag with an open star tip. In an electric skillet, heat 1-2 inches of Oil to 350*-375*. Pipe the Churros into the hot Oil; fry for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Churros should be a little doughy on the inside. Drain on paper towel and roll in Cinnamon Sugar while hot. This can be made ahead and refrigerated before frying. It also can be successfully made using a Gluten-Free flour blend (I used King Arthur glutenfree multipurpose flour blend). Makes about 10-12 very yummy 8-inch Churros. We enjoy these as a Sunday afternoon snack; it would be fun to do for a Young Folk's gathering, too.</span></div>

Mrs. Schaurer has a special Country the students visit. They dress in national costumes (as much as possible), play games originating in this country, eat ethnic foods, make a craft, and learn national facts. September's country was Mexico, with Carnitas, Frijoles, Arroz, and Jaritos for lunch, Churros for dessert, Ojo de Dios crafts, and a Pinata to end the day!</span></i></span></span></div>

<i>Big Sister has turned -{TEN}- and that means it is time for a Celebration! She has <strike>looked forward to</strike> longed for (dreamed of!) this Day. In our household we do -one- Birthday Party with friends, at the milestone of ten years. J & D had their <a href="http://thissimplegift.blogspot.com/2012/06/seeking-several-intrepid-young-men.html">Birthday Party</a> three years ago and Big Sister has been just waiting for her turn. Invitations were mailed, the Menu planned, Favors wrapped, Games planned, Food prepared, the Table set. The guests arrived at 11:00 and the Tea Party began!</i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Coffee Ice Cream</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Scald together:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;">4 Cups 2% Milk</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;">2-3/4 Cups Sugar</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;">1/2 Cup Instant Coffee Crystals</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;">3/4 teaspoon Salt </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">and chill in refrigerator until cold.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When cold, pour into ice cream freezer canister and add the following, stirring well:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;">4 Cups Half-and-Half</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;">2 Tablespoons Vanilla</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;">4 Cups Whipping Cream</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;">1-1/2 Cups Coffee Creamer (we like French Vanilla or Vanilla-Toffee Caramel)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;">Milk, enough to fill canister to the fill line</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Freeze according to manufacture's directions. When the Ice Cream is beginning to firm up, but not completely frozen, add in:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>6 oz. grated Chocolate Bar</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Stir well to combine and continue freezing until the Ice Cream is done.<i> </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Is it ever 'too late in the season' for Homemade Ice Cream? I think not, especially if it's as good of a recipe as this one. My dear friend Deborah gave me this recipe years ago and we've called it Deborah's Coffee Ice Cream ever since. When I asked her for permission to share it, she laughed and said, "Sure! It's not my recipe; I found it in the instruction manual for the White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer." So there you have it. She might not claim it as hers, but we do!</i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 8-oz Manicotti Noodles</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 Cups Cottage Cheese </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese, divided </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 teaspoons fresh Parsley</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 pound Bulk Italian Sausage -sweet or spicy, cook's choice</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4 Cups Meatless Spaghetti Sauce</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 cloves Garlic, minced</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Cook Manicotti according to package directions, using minimum cooking time; drain. Toss lightly with Olive Oil and return to package trays; set aside.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In a medium bowl, combine the Cottage Cheese, Broccoli, 1 Cup Mozzarella, 1/4 Cup Parmesan, Egg, Parsley, Onion Powder, Black Pepper, and Garlic Powder. Refrigerate until needed. (You may want to run the Broccoli through the blender if the chunks are large; a smoother mixture is easier to stuff into the Manicotti.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Cook Italian Sausage over medium heat in a skillet; drain well. Add Spaghetti Sauce and minced Garlic. Spread 1 Cup Meat sauce in the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Stuff the Broccoli-Cheese mixture into the Manicotti shells and arrange over the Meat sauce. Top with remaining Meat sauce and Cheeses. Bake, uncovered, at 350* for 40-50 minutes, or until hot through. Makes 14 Sausage Broccoli Manicotti; Serves 6-8. This freezes well, too!</span></div>

<br />
Wow.<br />
It's hard to believe that the last time I posted, it was May.<br />
My intention was to take -{2 weeks}- off so we could celebrate three milestone Birthdays and then be back here with some new Recipes.<br />
<br />
Boy, was I ever mistaken.<br />
<br />
After the first of the Birthday Parties, we had a Camping Trip over Father's Day, the second Birthday Party and then Family Reunion--Mt. Hermon--Friends & Family from out of state--Woodshop Days--Funerals--Mammoth Trip--First Day of School.<br />
<br />
It all starts to run together and become a big blur.<br />
<br />
I was certain that the first week of school would be slower but not so, and for a wonderful reason: J & D proclaimed their Faith in Jesus Christ and asked for Baptism! Wonderful Rejoicing!<br />
<br />
And so, here are a few snapshots of the Summer (I promise not to bore you).<br />
And the following post <i>WILL</i> be back to normal!<br />
<br />
Blessings to each of you,<br />
Carolyn <br />

<i><b><span style="font-size: small;">Cheesecake Base:</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3 8-oz. Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4 Cups Sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 teaspoons Vanilla</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 recipe Lemon Filling</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4 Cups Half-and-Half</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Whole Milk to fill Ice Cream Freezer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Toasted Graham Cracker Crumbs:</b></i> </span><i><b><span style="font-size: small;"></span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 Tablespoons Butter</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 Tablespoons Sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ice for Freezing, a minimum of 20 pounds</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 box Ice Cream Salt</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>For the Lemon Filling:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a 3-quart saucepan, stir together the Sugar, Cornstarch, and Salt. Stir in Lemon Juice, Cold Water, and beaten Eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir in Lemon Zest (make sure it is finely chopped or it will get caught in your ice cream dasher and clump up). Refrigerate until completely cold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>For the Cheesecake Base:</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a large mixer bowl, beat the room temperature Cream Cheese and Sugar on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the Vanilla and Lemon Filling until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use, or a minimum of 30 minutes. Transfer Base to Ice Cream canister; stir in Half-and-Half and Whole Milk to manufacturer's fill line (or 4-5 inches from top, if not marked). Freeze according to Ice Cream Freezer's instructions, using 4 layers of Ice and Salt. When the freezing is complete, drain off any icy water from the freezer bucket, repack with more ice and salt and allow to cure for 2 hours (I actually transfer the canister to a 5-gallon drink igloo and allow the Ice Cream to cure in this. The curing process helps this soft Ice Cream to firm up and flavors to blend. Top each serving with Toasted Graham Cracker Crumbs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>For the Toasted Graham Cracker Crumbs:</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the Butter. Stir in the Sugar and Graham Cracker Crumbs, stirring until a light golden brown and crunchy. <i><b> </b> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Because of the high level of Fat in this Ice Cream, it will take an entire box of Ice Cream Salt and at least 20 pounds of Ice to get this to freeze firm. It will take about 45-75 minutes to freeze, so don't give up and think "this will NEVER be done!". One good thing about having a lot of fat in it (besides the fact that it tastes good) is that the leftovers don't get grainy in the freezer.</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>If your family likes things very tart, or if you're using a sweet Lemon (like a Meyer Lemon), bump up the amount of Lemon Juice in the Filling to 1-1/2 Cups. Just remember to decrease the Water to 1 Cup!</i></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">1 Cup Fresh Raspberries -or- frozen, <i>unthawed</i> Raspberries</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Butter or Lemon Curd for serving</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Wash your hands thoroughly with Soap and Water. Read this recipe through completely and gather your ingredients. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Ask an Adult to help preheat oven to 400*.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. Line a Muffin Tin with baking cups.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">4. In a small bowl, mix together the Streusel Ingredients with a pastry cutter until the Butter is the size of small peas. Set aside.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">5. In a medium bowl, mix together the five Dry Ingredients; set aside.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">6. In another medium bowl, mix together the four Wet Ingredients, then stir the Wet Ingredients into the Dry Ingredients just until blended. Then gently stir in the Raspberries.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">7. Using a cookie scoop or soup spoon, fill the Muffin cups 3/4 full. (This will make about 14 muffins.)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">8. Using a teaspoon, carefully sprinkle the Streusel onto the Muffin tops.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">9. Ask an Adult to help you put the Muffins into the 400* oven; bake for 11-13 minutes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">10. Ask an Adult to help you remove from Muffins from the oven.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">11. Cool in the Muffin Tin for 5 minutes; carefully remove from the Tin.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">12. Serve Warm, with Butter or Lemon Curd.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">13. Don't forget to clean up your dirty cooking bowls!</span></span><br />

<i>I personally believe that the best time to being teaching cooking is when the child can both fluently read AND understand simple fractions. In other words, she should be able to read the recipe and not get 1/3 and 2/3 mixed up. Most children have mastered these two skills by the end of Third or Fourth Grade. Yes, there are kitchen terms like 'dice' and 'cube' which you'll need to teach, but the most important things, in my opinion, are the basic skills of reading and math. A close second to this come safety. Never forget safety.</i> <br />

<br />
<i>When teaching safety skills, begin with Heat and Sharpness. Most kiddos have the heat down; that is, they know that the stove and oven are hot. If you are allowing your child to cook at the stove, my first bit of advice is to never leave the room. My second piece of advice is to make sure you use an appropriately-sized step stool. A nine-year-old isn't quite tall enough to safely stir a hot pan, but is much too big to stand on a chair. Accidents can happen if she isn't the right height. If you have a double wall oven, use the lower oven. Teach your child how to properly use hot pads. I, personally, don't let my kids use oven mitts because I feel the mitts make hands too clumsy to safely grip hot pans. Also, I like to keep the stove turned down slightly lower than what the recipe calls for; this might make it take a bit longer but it does help reduce the risk of bad burns.</i><br />

<i>Knives and graters and vegetable peelers and mandolines.</i><br />
<i>All can be so very sharp. Unfortunately, the easiest way to demonstrate how sharp a knife is, is to accidentally cut yourself. Not the best object lesson, but unfortunately it happens. Please, as a parent, you know your child's hand/eye coordination best of anyone. Use proper judgement.</i> <i> Use a knife properly sized for smaller hands--I like to begin my children with a paring knife. And always, always, always use a cutting board.</i><br />

<i>What kind of recipes are the best to start kids out on? My children seem to have a short-frame attention span: they don't want to wait for bread to rise, a cake to cool before frosting, or beef to marinate and then roast. I like to start them out on a one-pan-in/one-pan-out recipe: a recipe that has a single pan and a short bake time, like Muffins or Bar Cookies. Easy to mix, quick to bake, fast to cool, and even faster to eat! Yum, Yum, Yum!</i> <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>-with-</i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Southwestern Corn Slaw</i></span></b></div>
<br />
1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
2/3 Cup Ketchup<br />
1/3 - 1/2 Cup Spicy Brown Mustard<br />
2 Tablespoons Molasses<br />
4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar, divided<br />
1 Tablespoon Paprika<br />
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper<br />
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon Chipotle Chili Powder -or- Cayenne Pepper <br />
3 to 4 pounds Boneless Pork Shoulder<br />
2 links (about 3/4-lb, total) Andouille Sausage<br />
<br />
For Serving:<br />
2 Tablespoons Spicy Brown Mustard <br />
1/3 Cup Mayonnaise<br />
Soft Deli Rolls or Sesame Buns<br />
<a href="http://thissimplegift.blogspot.com/2015/05/southwestern-corn-slaw.html">Southwestern Corn Slaw</a><br />
Dill Pickles and Potato Chips<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the bottom of a greased 7- to 8-quart slow cooker, whisk together the Apple Cider Vinegar, Ketchup, Mustard, Molasses, and 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Combine the remaining 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar, Paprika, Salt, and Black Pepper and thoroughly rub over the Pork; place in slow cooker. Top the Pork with Andouille Sausage links; cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remove Pork and Sausage; set aside to cool slightly. Skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid, then strain into a large skillet. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 20-30 minutes (you'll want to use a skillet or wide-mouth pan to do this, as it helps to speed up the reduction process). While the Cajun BBQ Sauce is reducing, shred the Pork and coarsely chop the Sausage. Toss the Meats with enough of the BBQ Sauce to moisten (I like to reduce mine until it's syrupy and use all of it. Mmmmm...)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To Serve:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whisk together the 2 Tablespoons Mustard and the 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise; spread on Rolls and top with Cajun Pulled Pork and Southwestern Corn Slaw. Serve with Pickles and Potato Chips.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Let sit for 1 hour (over the sink or a large bowl), then rinse and dry well. <i> (Here's a tip: if you have a mandoline, use it to make quick work of shredding the Cabbages--goes so much faster, and you won't end up with chunky Slaw.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Mile- High Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>For the Glaze:</b></i> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3 Tablespoons Cold Water</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Cup Sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Cup Water</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Tablespoon light Karo Syrup</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/2 teaspoon Red Food Coloring <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(I use a tiny dab of gel food coloring--it goes further with less flavor)</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3 Tablespoons Strawberry Jello</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>For the Filling:</i></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 8-oz Cream Cheese, softened</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Cup Powdered Sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 teaspoon Vanilla</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 8-oz Whipped Topping</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 baked Pie Crust (try <a href="http://thissimplegift.blogspot.com/2012/04/sour-cream-lemon-pie.html">Double-Crust Pie Shells</a> or <a href="http://thissimplegift.blogspot.com/2014/11/big-batch-pie-crust-freezer-recipe.html">Big Batch Pie Crust</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2-3 pounds Fresh Strawberries, <i>gently washed and<u> completely dried</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a small bowl, combine the Cornstarch and Cold Water, stirring to dissolve any lumps. In a large saucepan, combine the Sugar, Water, Karo Syrup, and Food Coloring; bring to a rapid boil. Re-stir the Cornstarch mixture; add to the boiling mixture and return to a hard boil. Remove from heat and stir in Jello. Cool to room temperature--don't rush it! This is important! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Combine all Filling ingredients; spoon into baked Pie Crust. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>To Assemble:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Slice Strawberries into the Glaze, stirring well to completely coat the Strawberries with Glaze. Using a slotted spoon, transfer Strawberries to prepared Pie Crust, heaping as high as possible. Spoon remaining Glaze over berries as needed, but use caution not to overflow the edge of the pie plate. You should have some Glaze left over. Refrigerate until Glaze is set. Serves 6-8. Best used within six hours of making, as this can get runny.</div>

<i>Spring is here! That means it's time for yummy Strawberry Pie! My husband always requests Strawberry Pizza at least once every springtime; this is my adaption of Strawberry Pizza to a Mile-High Strawberry Pie. Please ignore the fact that my Pie isn't quite mile-high status--my children ate more berries than I realized before I made this, so it's just a Half-Mile-High Pie.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>We've had a Dove nest in both our Lemon Tree and our Flowering Pomegranate Tree. The children have had a lot of fun watching the Mama nest and the Eggs hatch into Babies. It was especially exciting just before the Chicks hatched--the children loved to see the baby birds faintly through the shells. And now the babies are learning to fly around the yard. The boys have had fun practicing their photography skills on the Doves; I'm not certain what has happened to my photography 'skills,' though! For the life of me I could not get the finished Pie to photograph right! I'll just blame it on the cloudy day...</i></div>

<i>I like to make this for our Communion Weekend. I never know if the children will be having friends over or not, and if they do whether they'll be hungry or not. This keeps well in the fridge and if only a few people want something to eat, individual portions can be heated in the microwave. It's nice, too, because it doesn't need silverware--just eat it with the chips. Whatever is left after the weekend is over usually gets sent in school lunches for a nice change. The Rice, Beans, and Cheese form a complete protein but if you wanted to, you could also add 1/2-pound browned Ground Beef (seasoned with Taco Seasoning) between the Refried Bean and Cream Cheese layers.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Summer is on it's way! Hurray, Hurray! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Are you as burned-out on packing lunches as I am? With only 5 weeks of school left, I am so over and done with this whole lunch-box thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Five lunches, almost each and every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm ready to move on to something different. Not that it'll be much better with everyone home for the summer--they think they need to eat three times a day! Imagine that! But at least then the kids can help with the fixing of lunches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But maybe that's a whole 'nother mess...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I've put together 5 different variations of the Hot Loaf Sandwich that I think you'll enjoy. This recipe is only limited by your imagination.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or by what you might have in the fridge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And because school isn't quite out yet, I cut these into individual slices and packaged for the freezer. Now the kids just pull out their favorite flavor when it's time to pack lunches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For each recipe you'll need 1 recipe of dough, or you can use 1 pound of pre-made pizza dough (this gets easier all the time!).</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>For the Dough: </i></b></span><br />
2 Tablespoons Yeast (1 package)<br />
1 Cup Warm Water<br />
1 Tablespoon Sugar<br />
1 Tablespoon Butter<br />
1/2 teaspoon Salt<br />
3 Cups Flour<br />
<br />
Melted Butter, for brushing<br />
<br />
Dissolve Yeast in Warm Water. Add Sugar, Butter, Salt, and Flour, mixing well, until smooth. Let rise 20 minutes. Knead 10-20 strokes; roll out onto a large baking sheet. Spread toppings down the middle 1/3 of dough. Cut slices every inch along both sides, fold over toppings to form a braid. Butter top and sprinkle with Seeds, as desired. Let rise 20 minutes. Bake at 350* for 20 minutes. Serves 8-10. <br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good Morning! and Hello March!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This month seems to be developing the same bad habits which January and February had: it is whizzing by simply <i>too</i> fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been spending most of my time sewing for Easter. And sewing, let me tell ya, is simply not my cup of Tea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, I can sew. Yes, I do sew. But I do not enjoy it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a love/hate relationship with my machine: I love it when it's put away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Eldest Daughter wanted oh! so desperately a Navy-and-White-Polka-Dot dress for Easter. She saw this dress on my Pinterest board and wanted it:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="vintage 1950s dress . navy blue chiffon . by millstreetvintage" class="pinImage" height="640" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/91/ac/2a/91ac2aa681d101e374b69e5d5c72e416.jpg" width="316" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
A simple, classic Navy; no fancy fluff or frills.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It seems to be that Navy is not the manufacturing color of choice this year. The closest we could come to Navy was a Dark Royal Blue (thankfully, she was content with this!). My Grandma J. gave me an old pattern she had used for my Mom when she was a girl, so we went to work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bbn1nQxL6xk/VRQ3iKH7sPI/AAAAAAAA3S8/zQTt-54_H9w/s1600/DSCN1135.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bbn1nQxL6xk/VRQ3iKH7sPI/AAAAAAAA3S8/zQTt-54_H9w/s1600/DSCN1135.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sewing from a pattern designed in the 1950s is certainly a bit different from a modern pattern. It took quite a bit more head scratching and re-reading before things made sense. And working with boning for the cummerbund is something I've certainly never done before. But it is finished now, and she is pleased.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uk-LcoHlGN0/VRQ3b9RbU1I/AAAAAAAA3Sw/UL3wQzs-6bw/s1600/DSCN1134.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uk-LcoHlGN0/VRQ3b9RbU1I/AAAAAAAA3Sw/UL3wQzs-6bw/s1600/DSCN1134.JPG" width="402" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only thing this dress needs now is a crinoline or can-can slip underneath. I tried making one, but, well, it looked quite silly. Let's just say that a double thickness of 5 yards of tulle sewn to the waistband of a half-slip does not work. At all. We were going for a 1950s look, not an 1850s look. Sigh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But on the good side, I'm done sewing and can put my machine away, away, away! Hip-hip-hooray!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But that also means it really is time to knuckle down and get the deep cleaning done before Easter. Not quite so hip-hip-hooray.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And here is the perfect after-Easter meal: <i>Chipotle-Apple BBQ Chicken Skewers</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why is this perfect for after Easter? Because, my friend, the semi-home-made BBQ sauce has Apple Butter in it! And of coarse, because we have Apple Butter with our meals at Church on Easter weekend, there is *usually* some left over, and we *usually* get some to bring home, and because we are *usually* tired of boiled beef after Easter, this is the perfect after-Easter meal. Have I convinced you yet?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AvECPituxpE/VRQ1wJoLzMI/AAAAAAAA3NY/-qyMOvOvTyU/s1600/DSCN1094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AvECPituxpE/VRQ1wJoLzMI/AAAAAAAA3NY/-qyMOvOvTyU/s1600/DSCN1094.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If that's not enough to convince you, maybe this will: <i>the BBQ sauce has Chipotle Peppers in it</i>! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that alone is enough to convince me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am becoming very, very, <i>very</i> addicted to Chipotle Chile Peppers in Adobo.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok, so maybe that is a bit over-dramatic, but seriously, run--don't walk--to the grocery and get a can of Chipotle en Adobo (in the Mexican section at the grocery), bring it home, puree it, and freeze in tablespoon-size portions. Then you can add to any Mexican sauce you like and give it some of that wonderful smoky heat that our run-of-the-mill Anglo-Saxon cooking is seriously lacking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And here is one more convincing, convicting reason why you'll want to make this ASAP: <i>this recipe is simple enough your 12-year-old can make it.</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a busy Mom, this is the capstone achievement any recipe needs to crown it Queen of the Kitchen.</div>

We had this Monday night for supper. J did all the prep and helped with the grilling. I had purchased a family-pack of Chicken and had him use thee breasts from the pack. We <strike>ate</strike> demolished everything at dinner, leaving me with nothing to photograph. On Tuesday I used the remaining two chicken breasts to make a few skewers for photos. Unfortunately I forgot that I needed those two pieces for our soup last night. They were sacrificed to a worthy cause. J suggests adding some pineapple pieces to the skewers, and I think that is a good idea, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Chipotle-Apple BBQ Chicken Skewers</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1-1/2 to 2 pounds boneless skinless Chicken Breast, cut into bite-size chunks</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8 slices thick-cut Bacon, also cut into bite-size pieces</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/2 Red Onion, cut into sections</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Garlic Salt</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Black Pepper </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>For the BBQ Sauce:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Cup Sweet BBQ Sauce <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(do be sure to use a sweet BBQ sauce as you will be spicing it up a bit. I like Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar)</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2/3 Cup Apple Butter</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 whole canned Chipotle Peppers, in Adobo Sauce</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 Tablespoons Honey</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke (use Applewood Smoke, if you have it)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1-2 Tablespoons Water</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Puree all BBQ Sauce ingredients in a blender. Taste and adjust to desired preference, adding more Honey or Adobo Sauce to sweeten or spice as desired. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thread the Chicken, Bacon, and Red Onion onto skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for thirty minutes prior to using); sprinkle liberally with Garlic Salt and Black Pepper. Grill over Medium-Low heat until juices run clear, about 13-16 minutes, brushing with BBQ Sauce the last 6 minutes or so. It is important that you watch your heat (it should be about 350*) to prevent the Bacon grease from causing flaming flare-ups, which I am all too famous for. Serve with Steamed Broccoli and a Fruit Salad to a hungry family. Serves about 6.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And here, finally, is what you've been waiting for: The Give-Away! It might be a bit corny, but I thought that because it is Easter, and because Christ rose from the dead to bring us life with Him, if we but seek forgiveness of sins through His blood, I'd like to help make your morning rising a bit easier. </div>

Here is how we conducted our drawing:<br />
<br />
As every entry came in, I input it into a Word document with a number. I fully intended to print this, cut each name into a strip and do the drawing, but my printer was out of ink. So, we hand wrote the numbers on notebook paper, folded them, and put them in a bowl:<br />

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Brownie Baked Alaska</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 quart Ice Cream, any flavor, slightly softened (I like Mint Chocolate Chip)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/2 Cup Butter, softened</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Cup Sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 Eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 Cup Flour</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/4 teaspoon Salt</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 Tablespoons Cocoa</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 teaspoon Vanilla</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5 Egg Whites (use the yolks to make <a href="http://thissimplegift.blogspot.com/2012/04/sour-cream-lemon-pie.html">Sour Cream Lemon Pie</a> )<br />
1 Cup Sugar<br />
1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar<br />
<br />
<i><b>For the Ice Cream:</b></i> <br />
Line a 1-quart freezer safe bowl with waxed paper or parchment paper, leaving an overhang around the edges of the bowl. Pack the Ice Cream very firmly into the bowl and freeze until hard. <br />
<br />
<i><b>For the Brownie:</b></i><br />
Preheat oven to 350*. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan (and line with a waxed-paper circle if you have trouble with things sticking); set aside.<br />
<br />
In a mixer bowl, cream the Butter and Sugar together on medium speed. Add the 2 Eggs, mixing well. Gradually stir in the remaining ingredients, stirring just until mixed together. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350* for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool in cake pan 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack and allow to completely cool. When Brownie has thoroughly cooled, place on an oven-safe serving dish, invert the frozen Ice Cream on top of the Brownie, remove the bowl (leaving the waxed paper in place) and return Brownie/Ice Cream to freezer.<br />
<br />
<b><i>For the Meringue:</i></b> <br />
Combine the Egg Whites, 1 Cup Sugar, and Cream of Tartar in the top of a double boiler. Place over simmering water and cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, for 5 minutes or until mixture reaches 160* (I set a timer). Remove from heat and transfer to a large clean mixing bowl. Beat on High speed for 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form.<br />
<br />
<b><i>To Assemble:</i></b><br />
Remove the Ice Cream-topped Brownie from the freezer and peel off the paper. Quickly spread the Meringue over the entire surface, making absolute certain that all edges are sealed. <i>At this point the Baked Alaska can be returned to the freezer and baked just before serving. Baked Alaska can be kept in the freezer for up to one week before serving.</i><br />
<br />
<i><b>To Bake:</b></i><br />
Preheat over to 500*. Remove the Alaska from the freezer and bake for 2 to 3-1/2 minutes, or until meringue peaks are lightly browned. Keep a Very Close Eye on the Alaska after 2 minutes have passed! Slice into 10-12 portions and serve immediately.<i><b> </b></i><br />

<i>And bake until a light golden brown</i></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>According to the nine-year-old, we had a Very Strange dinner for Valentine's Day: fish soup with the shells still on and a weird baked ice cream dessert. (We had Chioppino and Brownie Baked Alaska.) </i><br />
<br />
<i>I have had a fascination with Baked Alaska from almost the very beginning of my cooking experience. I think I was about a freshman in High School when I made my first Baked Alaska. In the evenings I would sit and read my Mom's cookbooks, drooling over the elaborate foods in her Southern Living cookbook. Lobster Thermidor and Bananas Foster were out of the question. But Baked Alaska? Most everyone has these basic ingredients in their pantry and freezer. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>So, I would make the Alaska in the afternoon, pop it into the freezer, and then begin to ask when it would suit to have some company in the evening to help eat this dessert, because Baked Alaska is always best enjoyed with friends. Usually we would ask my Uncle, Aunt, and Cousins J & K. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Now, you need to understand that my siblings and I have always had a very close relationship with our cousins. J is the oldest grandson, I the oldest granddaughter, and with only a year and a half between us, J is the older brother I never had. Growing up through the Junior High years we would pretend that we "liked" each other (which really just consisted of passing notes like "What are you doing this afternoon"). This was *hopefully* to prevent any classmates from developing a "crush" on either of us, which, when you think about how small our school was, everyone already knew we were cousins. Such is the logic of sixth and seventh graders.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Our close relationship was especially great when I reached High School and J had his driver's license. You see, upon entering Young Folks after Eighth Grade graduation, if I wanted to go to Young Folks after Church I had to ask for a ride to get there. This was extremely challenging to me. I was only thirteen and I had to ask someone who could drive--that means they were at least three years older than me--for a ride. How mortifying! So when J got his license and his Grandpa gave J and K his old brown stick-shift Ford Ranger it was a great relief to awkward me. No more sheepishly asking for rides.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Now keep in mind that this truck was nothing special: roll-down windows, no AC, keyed entry locks--no extra power features at all. And J was ever the gentleman: he would unlock my door from the outside before going to his side and getting in. However, unbeknownst to me, there was a young man observing this. He saw all this from a distance and he knew I was too young to date (he even knew when my sixteenth birthday was and when I really would be old enough to date). What he didn't know was that J was my cousin. And so, four days after my sixteenth birthday, T called asking for a date.</i><br />
<br />
<i>And the rest, she wrote, was history.</i><br />
<i>I traded riding in my cousin's old brown Ford Ranger for riding in my honey's old(er) brown Chevy pickup.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>And that, my friend, is how Brownie Baked Alaska and my cousin's old brown truck helped to bring T and I together.</i><br />
<br />
<i>And yes, T and I still laugh over it! </i><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 Cups Soy Sauce </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">7 slices Bacon, halved </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 Onions, finely diced </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 stalks Celery, diced</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 Tablespoon dried Rosemary, crushed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 teaspoons dried Thyme</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">1 12-oz. Beer or Chicken Broth</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>3 Cups Chicken broth</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 Cup Flour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 Cup Butter </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3 Cups strained Pheasant Broth, from the pan</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 Cup Half-and-Half or Whole Milk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 teaspoon dried Thyme</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 teaspoon dried Rosemary, crushed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Salt and Black Pepper to taste</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: small;">The Night Before:</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Rinse and pick over your Pheasants, place in a large container or zip-top plastic bags and pour Soy Sauce over birds. Cover and refrigerate overnight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: small;">The Day Of:</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Drain off Soy Sauce and discard; place the Pheasants in an electric roaster oven pan <i>(because most likely you won't have a pan for your oven large enough, and if you're like me, you won't want your oven running all day. But I digress.)</i>, and dust with Flour; sprinkle with Salt and Black Pepper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In a large skillet, fry Bacon until most fat is rendered off; remove Bacon from pan and drain off all but 1 Tablespoon grease. Add Onions and Celery, cook until Onions are softened. Stir in Rosemary, Thyme, Ginger, and Beer, cooking until alcohol has evaporated. Spoon over the Pheasant in the roasting pan, place Bacon over the birds and gently pour Chicken Broth around the birds. Cook at 250* for 6 to 7 hours, until Pheasants are very very tender and meat is falling off the bones. Serve with gravy over a double recipe of <a href="http://thissimplegift.blogspot.com/2011/09/quick-rice-pilaf.html">Rice Pilaf</a>. Serves 8-10, depending on the size of your Pheasants.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: small;">For the Gravy:</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In a 2-quart saucepan over medium/medium-high heat, melt the Butter and stir in the Flour until smooth. Slowly stir in the Pheasant broth, cooking until thickened, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in Half-and-Half and herbs. Season to taste with Salt and Black Pepper. Serve over Pheasant.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">For the past several years the men in T's family have went Pheasant Hunting three hours north of here. Sporting Games on Friday, a Hunt (with dogs!) on Saturday. One must be 12 years old to go along and J & D finally have hit this milestone! They have faithfully and diligently saved each penny, they have taken their Hunter's Safety Class, they have practiced and practiced their hunting skills, they have dreamed of and longed for this day.</span></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">And now the Hunt is over. It was a success!</span></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">And I have 12 Pheasant in my freezer.</span></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Plus the Pheasant from last year.</span></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Because the birds from the year before that turned out dry and tough and worthless. And I really didn't care to repeat the experience this past year.</span></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>But honestly, how can a Mom tell her hunters that she really, really doesn't want to fix their game? She can't. So I scoured the internet for recipes and found this one. And it turned out really good!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>It seems that Pheasant (especially *wild* Pheasant) really are much happier when cooked for a long time over low heat. Well, maybe the Pheasant aren't happier, but those dining on them are. It also seems that Pheasant really isn't prepared much here in the States, for most all the recipes I found were from the UK. But maybe I just live in the wrong part of the country, or even the wrong era: My Grandpa and Grandma J tell me that back in the 1940's and 1950's when they lived in Kansas, many Pheasant Hunting parties were organized for Ohio-ans who would come out just for the opportunity to hunt Pheasant. Grandma says she fixed a lot of Pheasant, but she doesn't remember how she cooked it. I think this recipe would also be fantastic with Cornish Game Hens, Squab, or Turkey. Or even Chicken halves, for that matter.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>And when I get the photos of the Hunt transferred from the phone to the computer, I'll add them. </i></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I think everyone is familiar with the basic dinner roll shapes: Round rolls, Crescent rolls, Clover-leaf rolls, and Parker House rolls. Every so often, however, I find I want something a bit more Special; something not so 'ordinary'. Something a bit, well, a bit 'More'. Recently a friend shared a video on my Facebook page on how to make shaped breads (maybe you saw it--I shared it on my blog's Facebook page, following this link *should* take you to the video: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GiftOfSimplicity/posts/543704002426604">Challah</a> . Just be aware it's not in English--Hebrew, I think). I've watched it several times and thought I'd show you how to make the One-Strand Braided Rolls in a step-by-step Photo Tutorial. </span></div>
