Nancy,
In the May 17th issue I noticed the flour ingredient was
questionable.
Could you please check with Mary and correct as I would love to try
it.

Linda, try making panini sandwiches in your George Foreman grill. It
works almost as well as a regular panini grill. I do not butter the
outsides of the sandwich, but use a cooking spray on them. (The
spreads, of course, are on the inside of the sandwiches.)
Use a firm sliced bread such as sourdough or Italian. Preheat the
grill for 5 minutes. Then cook the sandwiches for 5,6, or 7 minutes,
checking after 5.
Make one with ham and cheddar and fresh tomatoes and fresh basil
leaves, and spread the inside of the bread with a mix of Dijon
mustard and balsamic vinegar.
Try sliced deli chicken, sliced fontina cheese, roasted red tomatoes
(or plain ones) black olives and red onion. Spread one slice with
pesto sauce.
Try sliced deli roast beef with sliced sweet onion and tomatoes and
greens. Spread feta on one piece of bread . Spread caper mayonnaise
on the other.
Just plain ham and cheddar and mustard are great also. Use your
imagination!

Nancy I have finally finished reading and coping the last week or 2
week newsletters. First it has been hard for me to set at the
computer for a long time but I have just done it and said to heck
with the pain.
Last Friday, 5/15, my DH went in to have his third injection of pain
medicine in his butt. He found out about 3 to 4 weeks ago that he
has arthritis in the last 2 vertebra's. What they do is shot pain
medicine in the area that hurts and they hope that it will relieve
the pain. So far it is doing the job but a better test will be in 2
to 3 weeks. Then yesterday, 5/18, I had to go back for my 1 year
check up on my left shoulder and 6 months on my right one. I have
had pain in my left leg from my hip down to my knee. He X-rayed my
hip and knees and they all are fine. He then told me that I have
tendinitis and gave me to shots one in the knee and one up in the
thigh area. I noticed relief right away and it is so nice to get out
of chair and cars with out pain. Enough about pain.
Sunday, 5/17, we had to pick up our oldest granddaughter at her
dad's. When we do this I always go to the bathroom before we leave
because you never know how long it will take to travel down and pick
her up and return to her mother's house. We were going towards I65
and an emergency vehicle passed us. We got on I65 going south and
went just about ½ mile and had to stopped because traffic was backed
up. We sat on the interstate for about 45 to 50 minutes. We had to
make some calls so that our granddaughter dad knew that we were on
our way but an accident was on the interstate. When we saw the
vehicle involved in the accident you could not tell what type of
vehicle it was. We both agreed that the vehicle was a total loss.
Found out in one newspaper the next day that it was a SUV. The
person that caused the accident wanted to kill herself to be with
her family in heaven. I have prayed for her but, as she should, is
being charged. Lucky the other driver was not serious injured. If
you had seen the vehicle you could not believe that the person was
not killed. It is sad that people think of only themselves and not
anyone else. Hopefully the man that was injured will be out of the
hospital soon. My DH said to me thank you for going to the bathroom
before we left or we could have been involved in it.
Thank you to so many people for the recipes that have been in the
last 1½ weeks newsletters.
The next week-end, Indy 500, on Sunday we are going to a party that
we are all bringing something. I am taking Cheesecake Cupcakes and
Brownies. The group of people that are going to be there love
chocolate. Then on Monday I am taking the same things to take to
another cook out. If anyone wants either recipe just let me know and
I will post them. Also we have to pick up our granddaughter at her
dad's on Monday. We are thinking about going another way and then
getting on I65 going the rest of the way to her dad. We will be
coming back on I65 all the way.
Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associate take care,
stay safe and warm.

Nancy my brain with the other message must have been asleep, but I
wanted to respond to Linda in the 5/17 newsletter. Linda you can
cook bacon, hot dogs, grilled cheese or ham and cheese sandwiches,
parboil bratwurst then grill on the grill for marks from the grill,
sausage links or patties, pork chops, hamburgers, Ruben sandwiches
and salmon or crab cakes. You can also cook
vegetable on the grill.
Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associate stay safe,

Hello Nancy and and all fellow subscribers. Nancy you do a terrific
job. I am thinking of purchasing a Nu-Wave oven the one you see on
the infomercial's. If any one has one, would you please let me know
if it lives up to what they say. There is just me and DH, who is
pretty sick, so sometime I have to make quick last minute decisions
on what to cook. Would be so much easier if I could just take a
little something out of freezer and cook it right away for him.
Defrosting food and then having him not want to eat is such a waste
and if this really works would be a lifesaver. I don't like
defrosting in the microwave as doesn't do that good of a job. Any
help would be appreciated.

Betty, who is wanting a recipe from long ago for shrimp; I have the
recipe card collection from 1971 from General Mills. I have looked
throughout the cards and do not find one that has tomato soup and
mayo. Now I have found one with the soup, but it is served over
patty shells, not rice. It could easily be served over rice, though.
I am enclosing it here. Hope it is the one! It was listed under
Impromptu Party Fare.
Jiffy Shrimp in Patty Shells
7 slices bacon, diced
1 c. minced onion
1 c. minced celery
1 can – 4 oz. – mushroom stems & pieces, drained
2 cans – 10 3/4 oz. ea. – condensed tomato soup
2 cans – 4 1/2 oz. ea. – shrimp, drained
½ c. finely chopped green pepper
6 baked patty shells
parsley
In skillet, fry bacon until crisp; remove and drain. Pour off all
but ¼ c. bacon drippings from skillet. Cook and stir onion, celery
and mushrooms in drippings until onion is tender. Stir in soup,
shrimp and green pepper; heat through. Serve in patty shells;
sprinkle with bacon and parsley. 6 servings. Betty Crocker.

Good Morning All,
Linda re your George Foreman grill, the choices you have are
endless. Buy one of the one calorie oil sprays and spray the inside
before switching it on. The only thing I haven't cooked is eggs, but
I have made French toast, bacon, sausages, fried bread, grilled
tomato and that's just breakfasts. Aubergine (egg plant), courgette,
asparagus wrapped in parma ham, roasted cheese toasties. Recently I
have started making paninis. You will soon start to wonder how you
ever managed without one. Once you have finished cooking and turned
the grill off, a good way to make cleaning easy is to take a few
sheets of kitchen roll wet them in soapy water and place between the
plates. Whilst the machine is cooling it is also getting any sticky
bits off on the kitchen towel and makes later cleaning a breeze.
Happy grilling.
Sylvia <Scotland>
Hello Nancy. I hope you know that you and your dear ones are always
in my prayers. You are such a caring person as well as a great
e-mail hostess!
In the May 14th mailing, Linda asked what to cook on her
George
Foreman Grill. I use it for hamburgers, hot dogs, lamb chops,
marinated flank steak, and grilled sandwiches as well as steaks.
Grilled cheese sandwiches are wonderful and easy on it. We love
kosher baloney and salami . Sometimes I'll grill slices of them on
the Foreman grill and pop them into sandwiches, too. How about a
grilled ham and cheese sandwich? Enjoy the grill.

I used to have a recipe for a couscous salad. It had couscous,
chicken, cilantro, some form of onion (red, scallion) and a few
other ingredients plus the dressing. Does this sound familiar to any you?
Thanks, AnneE from Pa.
CAMILLE, Commack, L.I., NY, thanks for the info on the
green boxes!
I haven’t seen them down here. I agree, they would be better in the
long run! Thanks so much!

Chris in NM re green boxes: I don't think they are sold in stores. I
bought them on the home shopping channel. Just type in green boxes
if you are interested. They are fantastic. Everything lasts a very

This is for Sue, who requested a recipe for 'bourbon' chicken.
I had just recently copied this from one of the many cooking blogs I
have become addicted to and now can't remember exactly which one. I
have not tried it yet, but would love to hear how you liked it if
you do.
Bourbon Chicken
2lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons oil (for pan-frying)
cornstarch (for dusting, optional)
Sauce:
1 garlic clove (minced)
1/4 teaspoon ginger (I used ground ginger)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, and if you choose
lightly dust with cornstarch. Heat oil in your wok and fry chicken
bits in batches until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels and set
aside.
In a bowl combine all sauce ingredients. Pour into wok and bring to
a boil. Add chicken bits back to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer
for 10 minutes.

Thank you Chris in NM for finding the recipe using

Hi all Landers. Great recipes in Sunday's N.L. but I have a question
about a recipe by Mary in Virginia. Here is the recipe-------
Peanut Butter Cake
1 c sugar
1 egg
1/3 c margarine
1 c sour milk
3 lg T peanut butter
1 1/ c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
Mix, put in 9 x 13 pan. Bake 350º 35 min.
FROSTING
3/4 box confectioner sugar
3 T peanut butter
2 T melted margarine
add enough milk to spread easily
Mary in Va formerly from western NY
Question is, how much more flour? Is that 1/2 or 1/4? I would like
to make this and put a chocolate frosting on it.
I also think spelling out the word "cup" and using TBS and TSP for
tablespoon and teaspoon makes it easier for people to read.
Especially the "senior" folk.
Thanks---Lou
I need help from the world of ‘Landers’ for sack lunch ideas for my
grandsons attending a Jewish Day Camp. They all like fruit so that
isn’t a problem; need ideas for sandwiches, etc. other than peanut
butter and jelly. I know Hebrew National makes wieners for hotdogs
so that would be one option but need more of a variety. I think a
microwave is available at the facility. My DIL asked me for ideas
and I knew this great group would have the answer! Thanks

Good morning Nancy, Hope your SIL is doing better!
Linda, regarding using your medium George Foreman grill, I fix our
bratwursts in our indoor grill. It does a very good job on them. I
have also fixed pork chops and hamburgers in it. One thing I have
learned, you need to be careful of pieces of meat with bones in.
They do tend to scorch. You could also make paninis in yours! The
grill does a great job on sandwiches and quesadillas. Find lots of
sandwiches of all kids on Nancy’s message board under sandwiches.

Hi all
Does anyone have a recipe for cornbread salad and slider recipes.
Thanks Kathy in Fl
This is for Donna in NW GA: The large black ants are probably
carpenter ants. They are not attracted to sweets, but rather wood.
Many years ago, our neighbor on the one side of our house, stored
wood for burning in their fireplace under their porch. We found a
trail of ants from there to our house and up under the siding. They
made a nest in our roof and I could hear them in the wall upstairs.
They sounded like something munching on potato chips. We had a
profession exterminator come for several years to be sure we were
rid of them. Then we had to replace our roof, so they are very
damaging. We now buy an over the counter ant granule. I believe it
is made my Ortho. We sprinkle it around the perimeter of the house
once a month during the warm weather months. The ants carry these
granules back to their nest and kill them. At that same time, we
also use a spray in our basement for other insects. We see an insect
from time to time, but they never amount to any problems. I don't
mean to scare you, but you should try to stop them from coming in,
so it doesn't lead to something scaring.

Hello everyone hopes this finds everyone in great spirits. I wanted
to thank Sylvia in Scotland and Carol in MA and Chris in NM for the
cooking suggestions for the T-bone steaks. A friend of mine is a
butcher and sold them for $3.00 a pound who would pass that up? LOL.
I will try all your suggestions. Yes Sylvia, I do have a grill but I
must confess to pure laziness. I am 44 with a 9 year old and a 17
month old , a husband from down deep in K.Y where ladies do house
work and, care for the children, he works and when he comes home no
help. So come dinner time baby's screaming and the 9 year old need
help with home work then trying to tackle dinner in the oven or
stove top it goes. To Mary Alyce in WI I remember the jar cheese you
are talking about my mom loved it . I liked the ole English jar
cheese did you try writing to Kraft to see maybe they could steer
you in the right direction or see if the still sell it in another
area. Well I am off baby is awake thanks to all your responses.

We have used the slider, also. We put some finely chopped onions
down in the cups and then mixed some Worcestershire with the meat,
placed the required amount of meat on top of the onions and cook.
They were delish.

This is for the lady who just bought a George Foreman Grill, I use
mine to grill vegetables, I use a little olive oil, a little salt. I
love to grill asparagus, yellow squash, onions. My DH didn't like
asparagus but he does like it fixed this way. If anyone else has any
ideas, I would love to have them. Thanks Nancy for all you do,
Love to all Marge
Hello Nancy and fellow Nancylanders,
Linda said in the May 17th newsletter that she was looking for
things to make with her George Foreman Grill. I make Hamburgers and
hotdogs the same as on a regular grill. I also made pork loins too.
They turned out really great. I even put on a piece of country ham
and it was delicious. Mine is a Hamilton Beach which was a little
cheaper from Wal-Mart but has a nice big cooking area. I just love
that my grilling plates come out for cleaning. Wal-Mart doesn't have
it now but I sure hope I can find another one when I need one. It is
the same size as the big Foreman one with the three different plates
but about $50 cheaper.

Hi Nancy - This is for Linda wanting recipes for her George Forman.
I haven't used my George Forman for quite a while. When I was
working I used it almost every night. One of my favorite things was
to marinate green pepper (or yellow or red) slices, zucchini slices,
onion slices and mushroom slices in Italian dressing and then grill
them. I don't remember how long I grilled them. I think I just kept
checking on them til they were done the way I liked them. Sometimes
I would just throw some meat at the same time.

This is a recipe that was in a monthly magazine put out by my
electric company. It is even good cold the next day in a sandwich.
Oven Fried Coconut Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 C. flour
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 C. butter
1/2 tsp. black pepper
Mix four, salts and pepper together. Beat egg in a separate bowl.
Put coconut in a separate bowl. Dip Chicken in flour, then egg, then
coconut. Put in 9x13 pan. Melt butter and poUr over chicken. Bake at
400 degrees for 30 minutes, flip and bake for another 30 minutes.
I'm supposed to be watching my salt intake, so I just used the
garlic salt in this recipe.

For: Donna in NW GA for he black ants. My favorite thing is a
mixture of sugar and baking soda. The sugar attracts them and the
soda kills them (they can't digest it). They also carry some back to
their nests. I keep a small container of it all the time. I just
spread a thin line along where I see them.

Grill.
I have made sausage and peppers and onions on it. Sliced zucchini
brushed with olive oil and salt and pepper. Salmon brushed with
olive oil, minced garlic and teriyaki sauce. Most veggies can be
brushed with olive oil and salt and pepper. Most meats and fish also
can be cooked on it. I use my grill at least 4 or more nights a
week. I cook hamburgers and hot dogs on it.
I've cooked pork chops on it.
Everything cooks much faster on it because it cooks both sides at
the same time so be careful to watch you don't overcook things.

Hi Nancy. Love your thoughts for the day! Many ring so true.
I have to host a luncheon for 10 gals. We get together once a month.
Everyone has had Mexican style food and I wanted something
different. Let it be known they are all excellent cooks, me not so
much.
I Need HELP and suggestions for a classy lunch. Easy too!
Send all suggestions.
Thanks. Ella in Ca.
Donna in NW Georgia, your ants sound like carpenter ants so probably
are seeking a place in your house to nest rather than a meal. Here's
an article from your Georgia Extension Service with info.
Good luck, Leah

Regarding your black ants. I found that sprinkling Baking Soda
around the baseboards of each room and the edges of closet floors
retards the ants from going any further. I also sprinkle it on my
window sills along my screens and also had good results with this
last year.

Donna in NW Georgia, from your description it sounds like you have a
bad infestation of carpenter ants. To properly get rid of them you
need to call an exterminator. They hang out in the attic sometimes
and invade the home. They are very destructive to houses and also to
trees. We had three trees beside our house that were full of them,
so it was just a hop for them to come visit the house. We had the
exterminator spray in the attic, storage space and all around the
house. So far, no more carpenter ants. Good Luck!
