Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 To: anglican@stsams.org From: Scott Robert Knitter Subject: Re: Fuzzy socks (was An Appeal to All Christians) I, in my gayness, cooked up a lovely supper for one this evening: from the hilariously retro SQUARE MEALS cookbook, it was tomato-cheddar soup with croutons, proper meatloaf with oatmeal filler, mashed potatoes and crater gravy, and a nice Chardonnay. And then a cup of tea made with my new kettle...just couldn't resist the Krups one at Jacobson's department store on the way home. Silly me, just shop-shop-shop! Um, sorry. Scott Robert Knitter * East Lansing, Michigan USA SEE ALSO: The History of Tea Thread ------------------------------ From: "Mary O'Shaughnessy" meatloaf with oatmeal filler? Recipe pls? ------------------------------ From: "Todd E. Mashlan" Recipe?!? They have 'recipes' for meatloaf? Isn't that like having recipes for, say, spaghetti or p&b sandwiches or tea? Todd Who really shouldn't be saying anything since his seafood 'meat'loaf fell apart last weekend(forgot to press out the oils,...durned salmon!). ------------------------------ From: "Scott R Knitter" SEE RECIPE: Retro Meatloaf --From SQUARE MEALS cookbook, which has a lot of retro recipes from the 50s and 60s, like "Mystery Cake" with tomato sauce, how to make Cherry Coke, and recipes for a ladies' lunch. ObAnglican: I had Twinings Irish Breakfast tea instead of coffee. Tea question: on a BBC drama about Northern Ireland the other night, or perhaps a documentary, they interviewed a lady as she made tea. She poured the boiling water over the tea bag in each mug, then almost immediately scooped out the bag with a spoon. Is this normal? I always steep for 3-5 minutes.-- Scott Robert Knitter - East Lansing, Michigan, USA ------------------------------ From: Roy Murphy > . . . . mix everything with your clean hands. > Mix with big > spoon now cuz it's icky...or use hands if you like. Hmmm, with the exception of the milk, tomato and spices that's pretty much how I make meatballs except garlic and HANDS ARE REQUIRED! -- Roy Murphy ------------------------------ From: "Richard S. Crawford" > . . . .and HANDS ARE REQUIRED! Agreed, but it takes a lot of effort to get the meat off of all those tiny little bones. -- Richard Crawford ------------------------------ From: Roy Murphy > Agreed, but it takes a lot of effort to get the meat off of all those tiny > little bones. But if we took the bones out, they wouldn't be crunchy, now would they? -- Roy Murphy ------------------------------ From: "James Handsfield" > They have 'recipes' for meatloaf? Reminds me of a recipe I have in a book called _Chow: the history of Army food_ for hot fudge sundaes served at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. The recipe itself is as you might expect except for the last line: "Serve with a napkin and a glass of water *OR* a spoon." (Emphasis mine). Peace and blessings. Jim Handsfield ------------------------------ From: "Todd E. Mashlan" > . . . .which has a lot of retro recipes . . . .like "Mystery Cake" . . . . This 'Mystery Cake' sounds like my granma's Tomato Soup Cake. It's always been a pleasant surprise whenever it's served.

Todd: There are recipes for EVERYTHING, it's just that you're only supposed to follow them if you are: 1. taste-sensory challenged 2. newly married and having the in-laws over 3. boring Other than that, they're just there to remind you of what you were supposed to do that you didn't when it turns out like dreck. >Todd >Who really shouldn't be saying anything since his seafood 'meat'loaf >fell apart last weekend(forgot to press out the oils,...durned salmon!). Whoops - see you've been there already. Recipe for seafood-loaf: Leave on counter overnight - cat will lick out all the oils. (sometimes it leaves the stuff a little furry tho...) - pax - Andrew H. Auld; Lockport, NY (who luckily is a coon-ass; so EVERY recipe except waffles reads as follows: "First make a roux......" and contains the following 3 items at a minimum: bell pepers, celery, onion)
