I have some recipes that some of you may enjoy.

Sanders’ Milk Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce

1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. Cocoa
2 Tbsp. Butter
7/8 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp. Vanilla

Mix sugar and cocoa together and stir over low heat for two minutes. Do not let melt. Add butter and blend. Add milk, stirring constantly. Increase heat and boil rapidly one minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Add more evaporated milk if too thick.


Pontchartrain Wine Cellars’ Potatoes Delphine

3 ¾ pound potatoes (about 3 or 4 potatoes) peeled, cooked, drained, mashed
6 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp. Salt or to taste (I prefer less)
2 tsp. White pepper
Dash of nutmeg
3 Tbsp. Paste soup base
¾ tsp. Fresh garlic, minced
¾ tsp. Parsley, washed, dried, chopped
1 Tbsp. Ground peanuts
Dash of monosodium glutamate, optional
1 ½ Tbsp. Cracker meal
2 ½ Tbsp. Cornstarch
1 egg yoke, beaten
2 quarts vegetable oil (or enough to fill your deep fryer at least 3 inches deep)

In large bowl, mix together potatoes, Parmesan cheese, salt, white pepper, nutmeg, soup base, garlic, parsley, ground peanuts, monosodium glutamate if desired, cracker meal, cornstarch and egg yoke. Using an ice cream scoop, make 16 golf ball -sized balls. Place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Carefully, using a thin sharp knife, cut each ball in half and let stand on baking sheet until a skin forms on potato halves, about ½ hour. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight. At serving time, heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 375. Working in batches, carefully place several potato halves in hot oil and fry for 2 to 2 ½ minutes or until golden brown. Remove from hot oil, drain and place on paper towel-lined platter. Makes 32 potato ball halves.

NOTE: I’ve made this twice and both times the balls broke up in the fryer. Maybe 350 is a better temperature.

The Paradiso's Minestrone

1 cup dry Great Northern Beans
4 Tbsp. Butter, divided
2 cups finely diced onion
1 cup diced celery
1 quart chicken broth
1 cup cubed potatoes
1 cup diced carrots
1 can (14 oz.) whole Italian plum tomatoes, undrained, diced
1 cup Tubetinni, uncooked
2 Tbsp. Flour and salt & pepper to taste

Soak beans overnight. Next day, melt 2 Tbsp. Butter in ket4tle. Cook onions and celery until light brown. Add broth, potatoes, carrots and drained beans; bring to boil. Stir in undrained tomatoes. Simmer covered about 1 hour or until beans are tender. In another pot, cook Tubetinni according to directions, drain. Soften 2 Tbsp. Butter and stir together with four to make a smooth paste. Add butter to summering soup stirring constantly until thickened. Just before serving, stir in Tubetinni and salt & pepper to taste.

NOTE: My grandmother used to make this, but I never did. I have no idea what Tubetinni is.


Hudson’s Maurice Dressing

1 quart Hellman’s mayonnaise
1 pint Miracle Whip
4 hardboiled eggs
2 Tbsp. Onion
2 Tbsp. Parsley

Mix well. Do not put in a blender.

Speaking of Sanders, I just went to the one in Wyandotte today. Hot Fudge Cream Puffs, you cannot go wrong with that selection.

tubetinnitus is the sensation of "ringing" of the ears, often caused by improper use of conchiglioni to listen for ocean sounds. this is an extremely rare condition, but public awareness of this affliction is increasing.

I cant believe you gave out the Maurice Salad recipe. In the spring I could still get that salad at Marshall Fields. I wonder if Macy's will still offer that.
Such a great salad.

Let's all cover ItsJeff with Sanders Hot Fudge Sauce!

My mom and I still do the 'hot fudge cream puff' as a special treat.
I used to be able to buy the puffs and make them for her at home.

Thanks for the memories; I'm salivating right now.

The Whitney's Pecan crusted Whitefish

Whitefish filets (or Tilapia)

4 cups Chopped pecans

2 cups Lavash (or saltines)

2 cups Flour

Eggs and milk

Skin

backsides of whitefish filets, rinse. Set up three plates—one with flour, one with egg wash (scrambled eggs/milk) one with chopped pecans and crumbled lavash/saltine mix.
Coat filets with flour, then egg wash, and chopped pecan mix.

Sauté

coated filets in olive oil (or butter), nice wet sauté, until mix is adhered and slightly brown. This can be done the night before, and the filets can be refrigerated on a covered cookie sheet.

Bake

filets on cookie/jelly roll sheet @350 for 10-15 mins.

Serve

with Citrus Burre Blanc sauce, just enough to coat filet, not swimming in it.


Citrus Burre Blanc sauce

2 cups Orange juice

2 cups grapefruit juice

1 cup white wine

heavy whipping cream

1 lb. butter

Mix

Orange juice, grapefruit juice and white wine in a medium sized saucepan over low heat DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL \

Reduce

to approx. ½ volume

Add

heavy whipping cream, approx. ½ cup, enough to change the color and thickness of the mix.

Reduce

the above by approx. ¼.

Add

butter, allow to reduce somewhat

Serve

as above

Stroh's Dark was probably a Bock beer. I brewed my own by first dark-roasting the already roasted malted barley (crystal brewer's malt) purchased from the Froedert Malt Company in 100# bags. The recipe uses malt extract, whereas I always used malted barley (sprouted) seeds.

The second Maurice salad recipe is the correct one...nobody but a grandma in Garden City would dump Hellman's and Miracle Whip in a bowl and call it Maurice salad dressing.
