Here's another party recipe.
.IH
.IG "20 oz" "green spinach tortillini with Ricotta cheese filling"

peeled, seeded, and chopped
.IG "2 Tbls" "crushed garlic"
.IG "" "cream"
.PH
.SK 1
Just mix' em all together, and vary the garlic to taste.
.NX
This dish is better if it sits in the icebox for a day and lets the garlic
blend in, so this is a great \fIahead of time\fR recipe. One thing to be aware
of is that the pasta continues to draw moisture out of the sour cream, so keep
turning it with a wooden spoon every once in a while and add some cream to
keep the consistency light.
.SH RATING
.I Difficulty:
very easy.

.RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#177 ELECTR-WIGGLER A "3 Sep 91" 1991
.RZ "ELECTRIC WIGGLERS"
.KY PARTY
Here is a good recipe that showed up for my party.
.IH
.IG "1 large pkg" "lime jello"
.IG "1 small pkg" "lime jello"
.IG "1 pkt" "Knox unflavored geletine"
.IG "2 \(12 cups" "water" "560 ml"
.IG "1 cup" "vodka"
.IG "\(12 cup" "Midori liquer" "110 ml"
.PH
.SK 1
Mix the jello and Knox into the water. Make sure the water is just below
boiling to dissolve everything. It helps if you use a warmed mixing bowl to
keep the jello from starting to congeal on the sides too soon. Because of the
high jello/gelatine to water ration, there is a tendancy for the mix to start
to set too soon.
.SK 2
Keep stirring for 2-3 minutes until the mix has cooled down to near room
temperature, then add the vodka and Midori. If you add the vodka and Midori
too soon, the hot jello mix will drive off the alcohol.
.SK 3
Pour into a
.AB "9x13 in" "23x33 cm"
non-stick pan and refridgerate. After it hardens, cut into small squares about
.AB "1 \(12 in" "3 \(12 cm"
on a side (use non-metal knife and spatula), and place in a bowl with some
crushed ice.
.NX
These can be made in advance and keep well. They were the hit of the party!

.RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#177 BBQ-HAMBURGER M "3 Sep 91" 1991
.RZ "CAJUN STYLE BARBECUED HAMBURGERS"
.KY CAJUN BEEF BBQ
I usually ad lib this as I do it, so I don't normally measure stuff. I called
it \fIcajun style\fR because it's usually prepared by a cajun -- \fBME!\fR
Actually, most of the condiments and seasonings can be considered optional if
you don't like them. You should adjust the recipe to suit your tastes. You
may enjoy them more the 2nd. time.
.IH
.IG "~2 lbs" "lean ground beef" "~1 kg"
.IG "2" "eggs"
.IG "1 cup" "bread crumbs" "100 g"
(helps hold patties together on the grill)
.IG "1 Tbls" "Worcestershire sauce" "15 ml"
.IG "1 Tbls" "A1 Steak Sauce" "15 ml"
.IG "\(12 cup" "Jack Miller's BBQ Sauce" "110 ml"
-- actually this is only available in South Louisiana! So, use your favorite
or omit and increase the A1 and Worcestershire
.IG "\(34 Tbls" "salt"
.IG "1 Tbls" "cayenne pepper"
.IG "1 tsp" "garlic powder"
.IG "1" "bell pepper"
(liquify in food processor)
.IG "\(14 cup" "parsley"
(finely chopped)
.PH
.SK 1
Just mix all these ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl. Form into patties
of whatever size you like.
.SK 2
If you let these sit in the refrigerator for about an hour before grilling
them, they will hold together nicely. Otherwise, after placing them on the
grill, do not turn them until the underside is done. This will ensure that the
pattie doesn't break when you turn it to the other side.
.NX
No need to baste the burgers with sauce during cooking unless you really want
to!
.SH RATING
.I Difficulty:
very easy.
.I Time:
10 mins. preparation + 1 hour cooling + cooking time.

\fII'm looking for a really good pastry recipe that doesn't use eggs or dairy
products. I tried one from "Fanny Farmers" last weekend and it turned out
crummy. I would prefer one that uses at least half whole wheat flour if
possible.\fR

Here it is - good AND easy.

pan with fingers.
.SK 4
If pre-baked crust is needed, bake at
.TE 425 220 ,
for 10-12 minutes.
.NX
You can use white flour or whole wheat pastry flour, or any combination
thereof. Supermarket whole wheat flours such as Gold Medal also work pretty
well. I don't recommend using stone ground bread type whole wheat flour.
.PP
Also, I know that the sugar may be offensive to some, but it seems to be
important for the texture of this crust - I've tried reducing it, but it
didn't turn out as well.
