A big thank you goes out to gramaj. I viewed the
video on the day the straw knitting was demonstrated, but Peggy
really didn’t give detailed instructions on how to start or end the
project. I see from the site you sent me that many other viewers were
trying this and having the same problems I was having. Now, there are more
detailed instructions from Peggy. I wouldn’t have thought to check back to
the same site. Thank you so much, as this was just in time for my project
with my granddaughter this coming weekend. I can see now, what I was doing
wrong and can visualize how it will turn out the next time. Thank you for
your quick response to my problem.

Thanks to all who replied with information on the
Idiot Biscuits. I think I will stick to regular biscuits. I made
the Idiot variety, and they were sort of white hockey pucks.
Thanks anyhow from Ruth in Houston
Hi Nancy,
Last night a lady from Texas called, “I’m so glad you guys sell cinnamon
chips. My husband loves cinnamon chip cookies.” She ordered 24 bags.
Her husband must really like cinnamon chips cookies. In Texas, they do
things in a big way.
Now we have maple
chips from the same producer. Like the cinnamon chips, they are intensely
flavored and very good. Like cinnamon chips, they are great in cookies,
breads, and muffins.
Folks at Nancyland can
save 30% when they buy
cinnamon chips or
maple chips.

Hello Everyone,
After reading Tona's stuffed bread I thought I'd send in our favorite.
This is so good with steak on the grill and salad.
Enjoy Penny from Wisconsin and Tucson (in the winter)
Stuffed Vienna Bread
1 loaf unsliced Vienna Bread (any round loaf will do)
1 pound Swiss cheese, grated
8 oz fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped, stems included
3 green onions sliced thin
2 Tbls. poppy seeds
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1 cup butter or margarine, melted
1&1/2 tsp. lemon juice
Score bread by slicing lengthwise to within 1/2 inch from bottom in 1 inch
sections. Turn and do the same in the other direction. Stuff bread
sections with cheese and mushrooms that you've mixed together. Sprinkle
onions, poppy seeds and seasoned salt over top. Melt butter and add lemon
juice and dry mustard. Stir to dissolve. Gently spoon butter over bread.
Wrap in foil. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Fold foil back. Guests can serve
themselves by pulling pieces off with a fork.
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Ok people brace yourself for some dumb questions.
I have read and heard how wonderful cooking with a cast iron is. I don't
have one and want to buy one. My question is: how do you season them
when you first buy them? I heard you have to do this?
And do you clean the pan just like a regular pan?
I heard that cooking with cast iron leaves a lot of buildup? How do you
get rid of it.
I hear that cast iron is far safer to use than Teflon coated pans, so I'm
going to switch.
Thanks all! And thank you Nancy for bringing us
this wonderful newsletter--I look forward to it everyday.

I would like some help from your readers re: my
computer. I have set up a Recipe Folder on my desktop, then
individual categories within it. I know how to copy a single recipe from
the newsletter. I have not figured out how to get that recipe into the
folder on my desktop.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Carol J. in Nebraska
Hi Nancy!
I just want to tell everyone out there that the
Corned Beef
in Foil is fabulous! I used the liquid from the Hot Bag with more
water for cooking the veggies and it was great. Thanks to Tina or whoever
sent this in.
I would also like to have a recipe for a breakfast
dish of deviled eggs with a cheese sauce. I need it next week. I am having
guests next weekend and need delicious casserole dish entree's. Something
a little different and elegant. I love to spend time with my guests so I
like to pop something in the oven that can be made ahead and popped in the
oven. Thanks so much.
Pat in SC
To Sue R and Susan who
requested the date of the Corned Beef in foil. It was
Feb. 23rd. As to adapting it for crockpot, I never tried it as doing
in this way worked so well for me. There is a crockpot corned beef recipe
in Monday’s newsletter. Good luck with whatever one you decide to cook.
It wouldn’t by St. Patrick’s Day without corned beef dinner with Reubens
the next day.
Darlene in WV
Nancy, many thanks for the informative sites in

canning sites and pdf files.
Here are some more sites with helpful
information. Many of these are in Adobe Reader format. Some may not be
able to be viewed by WebTV members. I thought I would share them with our

When the water bath is complete remove from the
canner and when the jars are cool enough to handle, screw the rings down
securely. I use pint jars because my canner is only large enough to
accommodate pint jars. The canning process will cook the beef in the jars.
Ten to 14 pounds of chuck roast will make 10 to 12 pints of canned beef.
I thought when canning meat, it had to be processed in a pressure canner.
I know that USDA always had that direction in their canning books (which
are out of print now, as they don't do them anymore). Just a question?
Anybody have any feedback on this.

Hi all... I want to give special thanks to Susana
in Louisiana, Gioa and Cheryl in Ohio. We are definitely using the Baby
boy Blue punch, the guessing game and the BooBoo Bunnies as favors for my
daughter's baby shower. I just knew someone from this group would help me
with my dilemma. You gals have relieved me of a lot of stress. Thanks!!!

Hi Nancy, I thought that the Top 100 site had a
place on it to vote for our favorite site, yours of course. In the past I
have voted at the Top 100 site for another newsletter, freebie site, and
they had a way for us to vote. I may be mistaken on that but is there a
way for us to vote for you?

Nancy, I felt I just had to respond to Mr. Myron
Drinkwater of Lake Forest, CA and his directions on canning beef. I know
it is hard to believe that what our grandmothers and mothers did years ago
isn't safe to do now, but it is true! I have been a Master Food Preserver
for years, and have personally heard what can happen to you if you eat
improperly canned vegetables or meat. Botulism is tasteless and deadly.
Only way to prevent it in canned meats is to process it at high
temperatures. 6 hours in a hot water bath will never get hot enough to
safely kill the botulism spores. A pressure canner will. I am guessing
that Mr. Drinkwater has been very lucky through the years and that he
probably uses his canned meats in dishes that are cooked ..... like stews,
soups, etc. Cooking canned meat throughly (at least 10 minutes at boiling)
before eating it will kill any botulism that may have been in the jars.
Check with your local Extension office for proper times for processing
meats. A pressure canner is inexpensive, and really easier (and far safer)
than the way he described. I encourage him to can his meats with one.

To Karen in IL the recipe you sent for the
White Chocolate Apricot Bars are WONDERFUL! I would highly recommend
them to anyone who is interested in a dessert with a different yet great
flavor. I topped each serving with homemade whipped cream with apricot
brandy. The bars were a huge hit with my guests. Thank you.

Hi Nancy & all, Doris, S. Indiana asked about
using salt on food boiled over in oven that was smoking and it
stopped it from smoking.
Both baking soda or salt are recommended to put out a fire on your
stovetop or in your oven, i.e., old grease that has caught on fire, a
skillet that has caught on fire, etc. It smothers out the fire and should
be kept nearby. You know, of course, not to use water on a grease/oil
fire...it spreads the grease and the fire...also, do not use flour it will
burn.

Hello Nancy and Nancylanders, Saw this about
saving old iron skillet by bill Alb. NM (a Machinist) who gave
interesting instructions about going after an old iron skillet with
sandpaper. I do appreciate the formula of using salt and lard (shortening)
to re-season an iron skillet after it has been cleaned from buildup.
There are several ways to clean the buildup off an iron skillet. Possibly
the best way is to put the skillet or skillets on the center rack of a
self-cleaning oven...set your oven to self-clean and walk away. When stove
unlocks, remove your iron skillets and wipe free of all residue (powder)
left on skillet. Wash and rinse well. Wipe an oil all over inside and out
and put in oven on warm for an hour. Take out and wipe extra oil off. You
will have a smooth skillet and will be "seasoned." Food may stick a little
the next time or so that you use it, but keep on using, it will finish
seasoning before long.
I have been asking my husband for a 55 gallon drum like my mother used to
use when cleaning her skillets and he came home with one the other day.
She would put dry leaves, etc., in the bottom of the drum, put in crumbled
up newspaper. She set this on fire and when it burned down some would
throw in several wax-coated milk cartons. She placed her iron skillets on
top of these...and walked away. When the fire burned out and the skillets
were cold, she removed them, cleaned them and wiped a thin coating of
shortening on them and put them in the oven on low to "season." The wax
gave just enough coating to the skillets that they were "smooth as babies
skin."
Another way is to use lye. I have never used lye, but a dear friend was
cleaning a three-legged iron Dutch oven with a lid on her back patio one
day when I dropped by. This had been in her husband's family and was kept
at their church camp and was probably used before electricity had been run
to the camps. My friend was re-claiming it for usage. She had on heavy
rubber gloves and was wiping the iron pot. I am not certain how she did
it, but think she made a mixture of lye and water, submerged the iron pot
and left it for the lye to "eat" off the buildup. You would have to check
with a county agent or pharmacist on the use of lye this way. Lye is very
costic and very dangerous, must be careful not to get it on you or in your
eyes. I don't recommend this way.
We live on a small lake and my husbands has a burn pile to one side of our
yard near the lake. One day when he had burned a tall stack of limbs he
had picked up, I carried several skillets down and when the fire had
burned down (similar to ashes on your grill) I tossed the skillets
in...and walked away. Later we took them from the ashes. They had burned
clean...I finished seasoning them as above. I don't recommend putting them
in a "glowing" fire...they might crack.
If an iron skillet is seasoned good, it is okay to put it in your
dishwater. Simply rinse well, wipe dry, and set on burner of stove on warm
three or four minutes, then turn off and let stay until cool...and, yes,
my SIL uses her iron skillets on her glass-top stove. She just does not
move it around when cooking something...keeps it stationary.
I hope you can use one of the above methods to clean your skillets. An
iron skillet/Dutch oven, etc., is a treasure.

Evening Nancy and All, For Marge in OH or anyone
wishing to get a really badly burned pot clean.
Put water in pot to cover burned food. Bring to boil. Add 3 to 4 teaspoons
baking soda or baking powder and let boil 5 minutes. Turn burner off and
let pot sit with this mixture until it gets cool. The food will come right
off.
My mother used to tell me to use the baking soda, which I did most of my
life, only a few months back I had this pot that had about the worst I had
ever seen and I had no baking soda...I used baking powder and it came out
even easier than when I used baking soda. Betty in MS

In the Mar 10 newsletter Sue asked for a recipe
for Twinkies. Well, I saw on the Food Network on Paula's Party a knockoff
recipe for them. I will enclose the link to the page where the recipe is
located. They looked great, but I have not tried them as of yet.

For Gloria S in GA (March 10th)
My mother made her own red glaze, she used it mostly for strawberry
pie, but it is the same as over bananas:
Red Glaze
Mix is saucepan:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoon cornstarch
Bring to a boil, until sugar has dissolved, will be semi-clear, take
off heat and add:
2 tablespoons strawberry Jell-O
Red food coloring to make as red as you want
Stir well and let cool.
Mom would add the strawberries to the cooled mix. She cut the pie
crust in pieces and she added the strawberry mix when she served the
pie, that way the crust did not become soggy.
Hope this is what you are looking for.
Gladys, IN
Just a question -- does anyone have a foolproof
way to get rid of those pesky fruit-flies ???
I don't know where they came from .. I haven't
done anything different for the last couple of weeks, but they have showed
up and they just won't go away. They don't seem to be grouped at any
particular place in my kitchen, but I have tried numerous cleaners in my
disposal -- including plain whole lemons and limes.
Any help would be appreciated.

banana we have left over sometimes. Granny in Dover, Ky
I enjoy the newsletter so much and have tried and shared with others so
many of the recipes. Nancy I appreciate all your work with doing the
newsletter.
This is for Mr. Myron Drinkwater in regards to
canned meat. My Mom always canned meat when we were growing up, before we
had electricity, and freezers, ( the good old days). She also canned many
meat balls, but they were browned before filling jars. Would you know what
the spices and ingredients were? Would really appreciate if you could help
me out on this. No one seems to know how to mix it. Thanks so much. Also
canned chicken. Brings back many memories.

For Tona and Jerry in Bama: You are right, hospice
is very wonderful. I currently have an uncle in Florida on hospice. God
could call him home any second, but he is ready to go. He has cancer from
asbestos exposure. I also have another uncle who just had surgery this
past Monday, and found he has cancer in both lungs, and has spread outside
of his lungs as well. They were supposed to tell him yesterday how much
time he has left. My 3rd uncle is going in for testing because he has a
hardening of the lining around his lungs, and a lump in his breast. My 4th
uncle and my dad are scheduling testing and scans as soon as they can. All
five brothers worked in the steel mills, and other places with exposure to
asbestos. Its hitting us all at once, but God gives us strength we never
knew we could have. God bless you for your work in raising money for
hospice. You and Jerry may not have won this year, but in our eyes and
others who have needed hospice, you are winners! And the chilli sounds
very delicious!!
