[RecipesAndMore] LIFE STILL HAS MEANING
LIFE STILL HAS MEANING If there is a future there is time for mending Time to see your troubles coming to an ending. Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow. If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping. Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling If there is time for praying there is time for healing. So if through your window there is a new day breaking Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching, If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning. A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights up an entire lifetime. Thanks for the bright lights of your friendship. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[RecipesAndMore] Re: Ask for an American
You are very welcome. I really never knew it either until I was talking to a woman at the church one day. ... The next time I had an issue with the telephone company which I could not get resolved to my satisfaction I asked to speak with an American Supervisor. Well, the woman who was trying to help me initially said that there was nothing that could be done. To which I again requested that I speak with a supervisor. Finally she agreed and I did get a more favorable outcome than I would have if I would have continued talking to the overseas customer service representative. So, sometimes you must be firm and make your request a few times--and perhaps it will work. Bottom line--if you don't ask the answer is no.

Hi Everyone, I want to share with you some great information that I found out purely by accident. I believe it can also save and create jobs in America while giving people better customer service. So how many times have you called a companies service phone line and found that the rep. can barely speak English? Once with a major mortgage company it was so bad I demanded to speak with someone who spoke English. Right at that moment I broke the code, the secret password for customer service. Come to find out that every American company using overseas operators must transfer you to an American rep. by saying... I want to speak to a representative in America . (Don't take no for an answer on this) This was confirmed by the American rep. that they must transfer you after that request. I've tried it on a half a dozen major companies including cable, bank, phone and mortgage companies. It works every time and I actually get my issues taken care of. Last thing to help save even more jobs don't use the automated check out lanes they are pushing at the big box stores. Once again I found out that if we use those check outs rather than cashiers people loose their jobs too. I've refused to use the automated check outs and have had two cashiers already thank me for help saving their job.. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[RecipesAndMore] How to Cook a Rattlesnake
How to Cook a Rattlesnake : The meat will taste much like other dishes, depending on the way it is fixed, seasoned, and cooked. Prepared like fish with corn meal, it will remind you of fish. Prepared like chicken, with a flour dip, it will taste strikingly like chicken. It can be smoked, broiled, boned for gumbo, made into paté or prepared any other way the cook prefers. The simplest is sometimes the best. Many people prefer this old fried chicken recipe: Ingredients: 1 rattlesnake Baking soda Flour Salt and pepper to taste Vegetable oil Method: Skin, gut, clean, and cut snake into serving sizes desired, maybe three inches long. Dip all in baking-soda-saturated water. Remove excess soda-water mixture. Roll pieces and coat in flour, salt, and pepper. Season with anything else, as desired. Fill a skillet with vegetable oil to about one inch. Heat from medium to medium high. Carefully place pieces in the skillet, being careful to allow space between pieces. Fry until tender throughout (or floating if in deep oil). Don't worry about venom; it is contained in the jaw of the snake and was removed with the head. So please, do not cook the snake with the head or rattle on. If the snake has been bitten by another snake, all venom will be removed in the cooking process, maybe. But, then again, it's always better to check this out first; just ask the snake. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[RecipesAndMore] Egg Casserole
Egg Casserole Ingredients: 12-16 slices of bread (crust removed and sliced in half) 8 eggs (you can use egg substitute or Egg Beaters eggs) 2 cups milk 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 pound cheddar cheese, grated 1 pound Jimmy Dean pork sausage (cooked and drained) or 2 cups ham, cubed 1/2 cup melted butter Method: Remove crusts from bread and cut each slice in half. Line bottom of 9-by-13-inch Pyrex baking dish with one layer of bread. Pour drained sausage (or ham) evenly over bread. Cover with grated cheese, then cover with another layer of bread triangles. Beat eggs, salt, milk, and butter. Pour liquid very slowly and evenly over entire casserole. Refrigerate overnight. Bake uncovered next morning at 375 degrees for forty to fifty minutes or until golden brown. I serve with a fruit salad, fruit juice, and maybe even some miniature muffins. Sometimes I'll even fry bacon to serve on the side. Enjoy. Note: I add onions in the pork sausage when I cook it, but you don't have to. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[RecipesAndMore] Pecan Pie
Pecan Pie Ingredients: 1 9-inch pie shell Filling for 9-inch pie 3 eggs 2/3 cup sugar 1/3 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup butter, melted 1 cup dark corn syrup (Karo is best for this recipe) 1 cup pecan halves Method: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all filling ingredients, except pecan halves. Stir in pecan halves. Pour filling into unbaked pie shell. Bake until filling is set and pastry is nicely browned (forty to fifty minutes). Helpful hint: I place the pie on a foil-covered cookie sheet before baking. This prevents oven spills, meaning less cleanup later. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[RecipesAndMore] Grandpa's Divinity
Grandpa's Divinity Ingredients: 3 cups sugar 1/2 cup white corn syrup (Karo) 1/2 cup hot water 2 egg whites, beaten until stiff peaks form 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Method: combine sugar, corn syrup, and hot water and bring to a boil in saucepan. Cook syrup, stirring frequently to soft ball stage (238 degrees on a candy thermometer) or until you can drop a bit into ice water and form a soft ball when you roll it in your fingers. Meanwhile beat egg whites. I like to add food color to egg whites while mixer is going. Pour half of hot syrup gradually into egg whites while you continue to beat the whites. A standing mixer is the easiest, but I've done it with a hand mixer. Pour slowly but change quickly from pouring to beating if you are using a hand mixer. Try to secure the bowl so that you can mix and pour simultaneously. Continue cooking the remainder of the syrup until it reaches the hard ball stage (250 degrees or until a little dropped into a cup of ice water can be rolled into a firm ball). Gradually add the rest of syrup to egg whites while beating. Then add vanilla and continue beating while the candy cools. If you like, add chopped nuts, candied cherries, etc. while you beat the cooling candy. If you can make a peak stand up when you touch the confection, it is cool enough. Don't let it get so cool that it hardens in the bowl, or you and your family will be digging it out of the bowl to eat it. When confection is just cool enough, spoon onto waxed paper in uniform dollops. Makes about four dozen pieces. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
