[CnD] Slow Cooker Yellow Split Peas and Oregano Pu ree - Greek

2010-04-13 Thread Jan Bailey
Slow Cooker Yellow Split Peas and Oregano Puree - Greek

1 cup dried yellow split peas
6 cups water
1/2 cup olive oil
1 onion -- finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar -- or white wine vinegar
salt -- to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley -- for garnish

Thoroughly rinse the split peas and place them, along with the water, in the 
slow cooker insert.

In a saute pan, heat the oil, add about half the onion, and saute until 
beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes.

Add the sauteed onion to the split peas, cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 
hours, or until the peas are soft and foamy.

Fluff the split peas with a fork or use a handheld immersion blender to 
thoroughly blend the split peas, then add the oregano, vinegar, and salt to 
taste.

Allow the split peas to cool, and then spoon onto appetizer plates or one large 
platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and remaining onion.

Serves 4.

AuthorNote: As I have mentioned, lentils and split peas are big in the rustic 
cuisines of so many countries. Greece is no exception. This very simple dish 
can either be served on a plate by itself as an appetizer for dipping warm pita 
or as a side with grilled vegetables and a salad.

[CnD] Slow Cooker Wild Mushroom Stew on Noodles - Greek

2010-04-13 Thread Jan Bailey
Slow Cooker Wild Mushroom Stew on Noodles - Greek
3 ounces dried wild mushrooms
1/4 cup olive oil
3 onions -- cut in half and thinly sliced
2 cups dry red wine -- or dry white wine
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon coriander seeds -- crushed
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose (plain) flour
3 cups water
salt -- to taste
1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt -- or sour cream
1 pound fettucine -- or linguine noodles, cooked just before serving
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Rinse the dried mushrooms, then soak them in a medium bowl in 2 to 3 cups of 
water for 30 minutes. Lift out the softened mushrooms, leaving any grit behind, 
and squeeze the excess liquid out of them.

In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and saute the onions over medium-high 
heat until beginning to brown, 5 to 7 mintues. add the wine and continue to 
cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until some of the wine evaporates.

Transfer the onions to the slow cooker insert. Add the mushrooms, cinnamon 
stick, crushed coriander seeds, and bay leaves, then sprinkle the flour over 
all and mix in. Add the water and stir to combine.

Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours, or until the sauce is thick and 
savory. Add plenty of salt to taste. Carefully stir in the yogurt just before 
serving.

Spoon over freshly cooked noodles, sprinkle with the chopped parsley, and serve.

Serves 4.

AuthorNote: Wild mushrooms abound in the mountains of northern Greece, and like 
everywhere else in the world where wild mushrooms grow, they make their 
seasonal appearance in stewpots throughout the region. Much to the surprise of 
many nonresidents, pasta is very common in Greece, too.

Semiannual gathering, The Fourth, Houston 20 10.

It's time again for another gathering of the faithful or faithless as the 
case may be.


This document is to announce a gathering of good folks this fall at the 
Marriott North Houston at Greenspoint. We will begin our celebration on 
Friday October first and continue until Monday morning October the fourth. 
Some have described this three day event as a great party and I, for one, 
wouldn't disagree with that assessment. Our structure is very loose 
allowing for much visiting, playing music, eating and drinking, and 
dancing. We do however have a very flexible schedule of activities. Most 
attendees will arrive sometime Friday and gather in our conference room 
for live music and a getting acquainted period Friday evening. This will 
of course include a meeting of the blind rifleman's association. However, 
we must insist as always, no actual rifle shots be fired. In fact, the 
only shots there will be probably brought by Carla or rifleman association 
president Dale Campbell. Speaking of Sir Dale, we will be recording an 
episode of Cooking in the Dark Saturday at one p.m.
Dale of course will be on hand for the recording along with Cheryl 
Cummings and her husband and audio engineer the awesome Tim Cummings. Our 
actual introductory session is scheduled for Saturday morning at around 
nine thirty. At that time we will record everyone's name and ask a little 
something about each person. As always, I promise no speeches or lengthy 
lectures. Saturday afternoon we are working on a all in play poker 
tournament. Details will be fourth coming. Saturday, a great night of 
music and dancing until all hours. Some individual performances and a 
group of us at times but much music. If you play, sing, or whatever bring 
what you need and come on down you will be welcome. Piano and key board 
will be provided for all. If your instrument needs amplification you need 
to let me know so I can bring enough electronics. My contact information 
will be at the bottom of this document.


Sunday morning, Miss Emma Lee, will host the singing of Hymns and a little 
Sunday morning service for those who wish to attend. We do need more 
attendees on Sunday morning or they are going to cut off our federal 
funding. Sunday afternoon we will have our famous show and tell. If you 
have something made for blind persons or a product you use that is blind 
friendly bring what ever and show us. Sunday night, more music and dancing 
some live and some from other sources, you will just have to take your 
chances.


As I stated, this gathering will be at the Marriott North Houston at 
greens point very close to Bush international airport. The hotel has a 
free shuttle that runs every 30 minutes to transport you from airport to 
hotel and back to airport when you are ready to leave. By the way, dog 
guides are certainly welcome. I have asked that we all be billeted on the 
same floor but we will just have to wait and see if they honor that 
request. Jovina has much information about the hotel and will post it to 
the list very soon. Cost of rooms is 79$ per room, not per person. This 
means if you have a shared room the cost will be half that. Rooms can be 
reserved by calling the Marriott north in Houston at 281. 875. 4000.


Ask that your room be with the blind handyman gathering. You will need a 
credit card to guarantee your room but, your card will not be charged 
until you arrive in Houston to claim your room. It is my understanding 
that the reservations office is open between the hours of 9 A M and 5 P M 
central time week days. We have blocked 20 rooms for now but they assure 
me more can be acquired if needed. I can tell you this hotel offers two 
restaurants so we won't go hungry. Of course you will be on your own for 
meals so, how you handle this is up to you.


Registration fee this year is 30$ per person and if possible needs to be 
paid in advance of the gathering. We have done this by mailing a check the 
last three times and that has worked out very well. The address to mail 
your registration check is, Phil Parr, 16 04 Southwood drive Lufkin Texas, 
7 5 9 0 4. Even if you live in Houston and plan to attend, please snail 
mail me your check so if we need a larger conference room or more sleeping 
rooms this can be arranged. Besides that, it is a real drag to get a 
sighted person to walk around trying to figure out who paid and who 
didn't. There is an internet connection in our conference room and we are 
going to try to set up a wireless network so, bring your lap tops.

When the ground beef first starts to brown, you can hear it frying.  As it 
browns, the sound will lessen.  I have done it for so many years, I just 
know when it is brown enough.

This dish

can be served with biscuits as a nice addition. It also reheats well (if
there is

any left). This recipe was named after my brother Shane.

1 can Pork and Beans (cheap brand works fine for this recipe)

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey

1 pkg hot dogs, sliced

1/2 medium onion, chopped, if desired

In a large pot, add Pork and Beans.

Brown ground beef or ground turkey with onion in a large skillet until
almost done.

Add cut up hot dogs and cook until brown and meat is cooked thoroughly 
with

no pink.

Add ground beef or turkey and hot dog mixture to Pork and Beans and heat
over low

to medium heat until hot and bubbly. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Ladle into

bowls and top with grated cheese and sour cream if desired.  Enjoy.

[CnD] Sweet Potatoes

2010-04-13 Thread Patricia

Sweet Potatoes:

Yes, there is a health benefit! A dynamite source of Beta Carotene, 
Potassium and surprisingly an excellent source of Vitamin C. If we held a 
beta-carotene contest, sweet potatoes would just about tie carrots for first 
place.


Though these are available year-round, peak season for freshly harvested 
sweet potatoes is mid-fall to late winter.


There are many varieties of sweet potato, but I'll stick to the moist, 
orange/purple-fleshed sweet potatoes.


The orange/purple varieties have a thicker, darker skin, with bright orange 
flesh. It is much sweeter and moister than others. Whichever variety you 
choose, look for potatoes that are small/ medium in size to medium/large, 
about 3/4 pound to 1 1/4 pound in size, with smooth, unbruised skin.


Sweet potatoes may look hardy, they actually are quite fragile and spoil 
easily. Any cut or bruise on the surface quickly spreads and ruins the whole 
potato. Do not refrigerate them. It speeds up the deterioration. An ideal 
temperature is at 55 to 60 degrees.

Re: [CnD] Golden Almond Cookies

I Googled this, Marilyn, and here is the answer; hth;

Sugar In The Raw Turbinado Sugar is made using 100% pure Hawaiian cane
sugar from the initial pressing of the cane, allowing the natural
molasses to remain
in the crystals. The flavor is sweet and rich. The color is natural amber.
