About the site that muted the sound in my computer: No, I am quite sure that I didn't click on a pop-up ad, but I am glad to hear that others haven't had the same problem as I had. Thankyou to you, Nancy, and to Tina for your kind words about me! I hadn't reflected over my input into this newsletter and would never had guessed that was even looking forward to it! Nancy, you are fantastic. When you get an overload of messages, what do you do? Do you tell everyone in the newsletter that you unfortunately couldn't include everyone's requests and responses? No, you post them all to one of your sites to make sure that everyone gets their say! What a generous lady you are!! May God bless you manifold!!! Anna Welander, Uppsala, Sweden. ===================================================== Nancy, I L O V E your site. Thanks so much for all of your hard work. What an awesome lady you are to do this for us. I have never had Mexican lasagna but I will be trying some of the recipes that were shared. This is for Emily in North Carolina and for anyone else who is looking for an EASY Mexican dish. I take this to my family reunion and it is gobbled right up. Enjoy! Mexican Stuffed Shells 1 box of the large pasta shells. Cooked according to package directions. 2 pounds of ground chuck - cooked just like for Taco's 2 pkg. of your favorite taco seasoning. 1 large jar your favorite salsa 2 bags of shredded cheese - (I use the one with Mont. Jack in it) Cook pasta shells and rinse in cool water then drizzle olive oil over them to keep them from sticking together. Cook your ground beef and season it with taco season. While gently holding a pasta shell in your hand, spoon some taco meat into it and lay it face-up in pan. Continue until all pasta shells and meat is used up. Pour or spoon your salsa over the top of the shells. I rinse the jar out and pour that little bit of water in also. Spread your grated cheese over the salsa. Bake in a 9X13 cake pan @ 350o just until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. note: These can be re-heated for lunch in the microwave. My family L O V E S them.

I wanted to make an apple crisp, but I was out of oatmeal, so I used a couple packets of flavored oatmeal, maple and brown sugar was excellent. I also used packets in an oatmeal cookie recipe. Worked great, almost like adding granola to a recipe. Jann in Fargo ============================================================= Nancy, again you have done a great job with the newsletter. We all appreciate all the hard work that you do. To let Lois know that I read some place that you can use a metal coffee can in your crock pot. I believe that that is all that the can is made of from the Crock Pot company. Also I want to thank Annette for the punch recipe. Yes, it sound so simple that I think on such a busy day that I can handle it without any mistakes. Again Nancy, we are so lucky to have you around to help us all. Thank you, Nancy and everyone have a great day.

Enjoy Rosie in PA ================================================================= Good Morning Nancy: First of all let me say how much I truly enjoy your newsletter. You are to be commended for the time and effort you put into it. I have, what I consider, an unusual request for you/your newsletter. I have been a dog owner for about the past 50 years - all have been health. Within the past eight years, my husband and I have had two dogs diagnosed as having mouth cancer [one is still with us]. I, personally, am convinced the cancerous growths are due to something we/I have been feeding them [dry, plus canned dog food; those smoky-smelling treated with something bones available at pet stores (as well as fresh fruits and vegetables)]. I am very interested in making my own dog food. I Please, if anyone of your subscribers currently make their own dog food and have had success with it, may I have the recipe. OR perhaps someone may know of a website. I've found on the Internet many recipes for dog cookies/treats, but not one single recipe for making actual dog food for daily meals. Anxiously awaiting a response, Doris, Halifax, Nova Scotia =================================================================== Cooking Version Site http://www.upenn.edu/oip/iss/handbook/measure.html#cooking this is for Anna Welander, Uppsala, Sweden.

Someone wanted to know about YuleKaka, or Yule cake, which is Norwegian, not Jewish, called Jule Kage. It is a sweet Christmas bread with candied fruit in it. I have an old recipe for it.

Cover, let rise 45 minutes, brush with egg yolk glaze, and bake until brown. Egg yolk glaze: Mix with a fork 1 egg yolk and 2 T. cold water. Bake at 350 degrees 30 to 40 minutes. My mother left out the cardamom.

My pickle recipe calls for pickling lime, made by Mrs. Wages (I soak my cucumbers in it to make the pickles crunchy). I live in Georgia and have searched Kroger, Publix, and Walmart for pickling lime and have not found any. Where can I find some, or is there a substitute?
