While I was on vacation in the Caribbean, I had Fried Funchi. It was like a very fine
cornmeal that had been cooked (probably in a small loaf pan), then cut into slices and
deep fried. It didn't taste like grits or regular American cornmeal and it was of a fairly fine
texture. If anyone has a recipe for this I would be most appreciative.

Years ago I worked at The Village Inn in Allentown, PA and they had on their menu a cold
spinach salad garnished with hard boiled egg that had an oil & vinegar based dressing with
crumbled bacon in it. I have tried for years to duplicate the dressing or buy one in the
stores but nothing comes close to the taste I'm looking for. Can someone help me? I
would really like a recipe for the dressing or the location of a store bought dressing like it.

Hi everybody,

I always know where to come when I'm stumped about what to make. This weekend is our
family reunion (we camp for the whole weekend). I need some good potluck recipes. I
would like to take something cold or something that can be cooked ahead of time and
reheated. Thanks! Hope everyone is a having a great summer!

Turkey Pot Pie

1 package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
2 - 3 cups cooked turkey, cubed
2 ribs celery, diced
1 small white onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup flour
1 and 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup dry white wine, optional
1/2 cup Half-n-Half or light cream
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 Tbsp. butter or oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg

Melt butter in a saucepan and saute garlic, celery, onion and carrot until tender. Add flour
and stir. Add chicken broth, wine, parsley, thyme and oregano and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add Half-n-Half and turkey and stir until mixture is creamy. Add desired amount of salt and
pepper and pour mixture into a baking dish. Cover with pastry sheets. Beat egg and brush
over pastry sheets. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. If you want to save some time you
may substitute a package of frozen mixed vegetables instead of the carrots, onion, and
celery.

Turkey Fried Rice

3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium size onions, chopped
1 sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons bottled oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cups cooked rice (1 1/3 cups raw)
1 tablespoon dark Asian sesame oil
4 scallions, trimmed and sliced
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 can (5 oz) sliced water chestnuts, drained
4 cups cooked skinless turkey breast, diced

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Coat with cooking spray. Add beaten
eggs, cook without stirring for 2 minutes, until flat omelet forms. Remove to large plate. Cut
into 1/2 inch wide strips. Wipe out skillet. In same skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat.
Add onions and red pepper, cook 8 minutes. Add soy, oyster sauce, garlic powder, ginger,
pepper flakes, rice, stir fry 3 minutes. Stir in sesame oil, scallions,
peas, water chestnuts, turkey, egg strips, heat through over medium heat, stirring 2
minutes. Makes 6 servings. DJJRS@aol.com

Easy Turkey Pot Pie - 2

2 cups cooked, cubed turkey
1 (10 3/4) can cream of celery (or mushroom or chicken) soup, undiluted
2 (15 oz.) cans mixed vegetables, drained
1 1/2 cups chicken or turkey stock
1 stick butter, melted
1 1/2 cups biscuit baking mix
1 1/2 cups milk

Mix together turkey pieces, soup, mixed vegetables and turkey stock. Set aside. Coat 1
13x9 casserole with the melted butter. Pour out excess butter and reserve for later use.
Next, pour vegetable-turkey mixture into the buttered casserole dish. Blend together the
biscuit baking mix, milk and excess margarine. Blend till almost smooth. Pour topping
mixture over vegetable and turkey mixture. Bake pie in a 350 degree F oven for 1 hour.
NOTE: You can substitute chicken. I also make my own "sauce" instead of using the
cream of celery soup. I sauté celery pieces in butter, set aside. Make a white sauce, stir in
the celery and use that instead of the soup. I do this simply because I like it better.

Look at this idea.

Throwing a party next week and was thinking back to the big Hawaiian luau we threw last
year I remember what a huge hit these MAUI MEATBALLS were... you couldn't get much
easier for a party idea. Just take a big bag of frozen cocktail meatballs and heat them up in
a crockpot with some Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce (enough to coat) and 2 small cans of
chunk pineapple. If you use another sauce don't do anything like smoked flavors but keep it
on the sweet side. Just warm them until heated through and keep them warm for serving.
You could substitute cocktail wieners for the meatballs if you prefer too.

Nothing beats chocolate cheeesecake!

Chocolate Cheesecake

graham cracker or chocolate cookie crumbs
butter
1 lb. cream cheese
1 1/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Make crumb crust: Take crumbs and add enough melted butter to moisten the crumbs
thoroughly. (I never measure; if you want more precise measurements, it's easy to find on
the Web. Do *not* add sugar, like some recipes say; the cookies are sweet enough!)
Press on the bottom (and sides, if you wish) of a 10" springform pan.

Cream cheese and sugar; mix in cocoa. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Pour into crust.
Bake 25-30 min. @ 375° or until top just starts to brown.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped nuts

Cream butter; add sugar, beat until light. Add egg; beat until fluffy. Add applesauce; mix
well. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, soda, cloves, cinnamon and allspice. Add
nuts and raisins. Combine two mixtures. Bake in a greased 8-inch square pan at 350
degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes. Frost with vanilla or chocolate frosting, if desired.
