...poi...

A Hawaiian, Steelhead/Salmon/Sturgeon fishing buddy say's that poi is to Polynesians what potatoes or rice are to damn near everybody else. I've sampled a dollop of poi at a luau, in Honolulu, and i must say i wasn't feeling the staple connection...

Simple Shepard's Pie



Mashed potatoes.. any which way you'd like
1-1.5 lbs of ground beef
Leftover veggies (or if you don't have any, just make new ones) --peas, carrots, green beans, corn! (I buy the mixed vegetable packages)
1/2 tps Cayenne pepper
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 can brown gravy (or.. if you can make your own, go for it)
SHREDDED CHEEEEEEESSSEEEEE
1 small onion chopped finely

Make your mashed potatoes.. any which way you'd like. Brown and drain beef & add chopped onions. Cook additional 3-5 mins until onions are clear. In a large baking dish (I use a 3.5 qt casserole) mix your THAWED if not cooked veggies, salt & pepper, gravy, ground beef & onions. Shouldn't be really runny, just sticky from the gravy (holds it together). Pile on the mashed potatoes and then pile on the cheese!

Bake for about 30 mins @ 300 degrees. Makes enough for two people to eat four times.... so enough for 8 people. (and those people get a HEFTY portion).

Something I made up for the kids when they were quite young. Kids love finger food. They still ask for em when they come around.

Mexican Weggies,,,,,,

Spread a flour tortilla with a thin coat of re-fried beans to stick things together.
Throw it in a lightly oiled frying pan, and quickly spread on some mild salsa.
Sprinkle on a cheese of your choice,whatever's laying around, and top it off with another flour tortilla.
Fry one side chrispy, and flip it over. {Careful it don't slide apart}.
When done, cut it up with a pizza cutter into 'weggies', they love that word.
Stack em on a plate, and turn on cartoons. Guaranteed hit.

The only thing that could have made this better is halizone. . .

Since turkey day is coming up....

The Legendary Hot Brown Recipe

Ingredients:

4 oz. Butter

Flour to make a Roux (about 6 tablespoons)

3 - 3 1/2 cups Milk

1 Beaten Egg

6 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese

1 oz. Whipped Cream (optional)

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Slices of Roast Turkey

8-12 Slices of Toast (may be trimmed)

Extra Parmesan for Topping

8-12 Strips of Fried Bacon

Melt butter and add enough flour to make a reasonably thick roux (enough to absorb all of the butter). Add milk and Parmesan cheese. Add egg to thicken sauce, but do not allow sauce to boil. Remove from heat. Fold in whipped cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.

For each Hot Brown, place two slices of toast on a metal (or flameproof) dish. Cover the toast with a liberal amount of turkey. Pour a generous amount of sauce over the turkey and toast. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Place entire dish under a broiler until the sauce is speckled brown and bubbly. Remove from broiler, cross two pieces of bacon on top, and serve immediately.

Pear Salad (A southern traditional recpie )

Canned pear halves
Mayonnaise
Maraschino cherries (stemless and pitted)
shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Drain the pear halves. Set all pretty like on a nice serving platter. Spoon mayo to fill the pit area of the pear halves. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the mayo and top with a maraschino cherry.

Sounds disgusting, but is ABSOLUTELY delicious. It wouldn't be a southern tradition if it wasn't good.
