3. spread a thin layer of cream cheese on top of ham

*This is a natural thickener found in fruits that is used for canning. You can find it in the supermarket near the canning supplies. It is used in this recipe to make the drink thicker and creamier, and can be found in the original recipe. It does not add to the flavor and can be excluded if you don't care so much about duplicating the texture of the real thing.

Broccoli Slaw Ramen Salad

You need:
1 package of broccoli slaw
2 packages of oriental flavor ramen noodles
3/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil

1. Put slaw in a large-ish bowl.
2. Crumble up ramen noodles into small pieces and add them to the bowl.
3. Mix it up.
4. Combine all other ingredients in another bowl. Include the flavor packets from the ramen in this.
5. Mix that up.
6. Pour the second mixture over the slaw and ramen.
7. Put in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
8. Eat.

This makes probably enough for four people to have a good sized serving, but i usually like to eat it all myself. You can add different things as well, some people add sunflower seeds, or almond slivers, or things like that. Whatever you want in your salad. This is one of those things that gets better with age, imo. Though, not too much age. It's really good the next day, it sort of marinates in the sauce stuff. It's a balance, eat it soon if you want it to be a crisper salad, let it sit if you don't care about the crispness and want it to be more marinated. ~shrug~ i love the stuff and it's really cheap and easy to make.

Fried banannas

This is yummy sweet breakfast. Its great for when your bannanas start to get old and mushy (and for safety sake, I'm refering to the FRUIT...so don't any girls get any ideas of things to guys you don't want around anymore).

First chop up your bananna(s).
Then melt a bunch of butter in a frying pan.
Next, mix in some brown sugar until you have nice watery surupy consistency.
Finally, mix in the chopped banannas and stir them around a bit.

Let cool, serve, and enjoy.

...and don't eat too much or you'll prolly get a stomach ache.

4. mayo or miracle whip

1. clean, peel and cut cucumbers
2.in a BOWL mix about 1 cup mayo or miracle whip, about 1/4 cup vinegar, sprinkle with a couple of TBS pepper pretty much add enough to taste

Poverty Stew

heh.


-beef for stew, or cubed steak that you got on special at the grocery store. (as much as you can afford)
-dried mixed beans (about 1/2 cup)
-rice (about 1/2 cup)
-2 celery sticks
-2 carrots
-1 Onion
-1 head of garlic, or lots of dried garlic powder. (to taste)
-any other veggies you like in soup, potatoes, i'm not sure what other veggies you can put in soup. whatever you want/have, basically

Start soaking the beans the night before. Or else start boiling them about half an hour-an hour before you start making the stew.

Brown your meat in a big-ass pot. With garlic. Or without. Your choice. Once the meat is browned, you can start adding in the water. Fill the pot about halfway with water.

Chop up alll your veggies. mmm. veggies good. throw those in the pot. And your pre-soaked beans, adn your rice. Barley too if you hapen to have it lying around. The more the merrier. Add in your garlic (if you didn't already have it) and whatever spices you like/have. I'm fond of basil and oregano myself, some pepper, but you can basically add anything you think will taste good with beef, beef bouillion is always a good addition, but see the note below, since bouillion is essentially salt with some spices.

Let this simmer for an hour or two. Then add your salt to taste. If you add the salt before the beans are cooked, the beans will end up hard and tough and not delicious. If you fancy dumplings, put those in! mmm. dumplings.

Put into a bowl. A plate is not good to eat soup/stew in. Eat. Probably with a fork, depending on your water-rice/bean ratio. This is a thick, hearty stew, and it will last pretty well if you freeze it, so make a huge pot, and eat it all week, or freeze it or something. That's why i call it "poverty" stew. 'cause if you are poor, this stuff will keep you alive and well. Spend all your money on the ingredients for this stew, and then make it last for a week or so. mmmm mmmm good.

This is a recipe from my mother-in-law for Carrot Bars. They are like carrot cake but very smooth (not chunky) because they are made with baby-food carrots. They are super yummy.

We usually make a double batch and spread it into a jelly roll pan.

1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cups salad oil
2 eggs
1 large jar of baby food carrots
(we are never really sure what a 'large' jar is, do what you think is best)

mix together and bake at 350 for 30 minutes

use cream cheese frosting

1 8oz cream cheese, softened
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla

(even if you double the first recipe, you don't have to double this one,
it just depends on how much frosting you like)

[Cloric the Cleric]

Preheat oven to 350°

1 Yellow Cake Mix (dry, do not mix)
1 Can Pinapple (Chunks or Tid-bits, Drained)
1 Can Cherry Pie Filling
1 Cup Pecans (optional)
1 Cup Coconut (optional)
2 Sticks Oleo (sliced)

Slice Oleo into enough pieces to cover the bottom of a 9x13 cake pan.

Dump the rest of the ingredients in and spread around evenly, it doesn't really matter what order you put them in, except the coconut, it doesn't do well on the very top of everything else. You can vary the fruits (and the amount of fruit used) to taste.


Bake for 30-40 minutes.


Best served warm with Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream


Star and Malcor, and maybe Lakai, may well remember this treat from High school.
