CS - Wednesday, November 9, 1983 - North Shore News PUTTING A NEW TWIST ON OLD RECIPES erving up a smorgasbord of ‘left-overs’ LEFT-OVERS today. No, no, not that kind, growing green fur in the back of the refrigerator. These are fresh \eft-overs, too good to throw out but not quite enough to go around a column. smorgasbord. The first item, warming up in the top of the double boiler, is the Rotten Meat- balls. A bright-eyed reader came to my same conclusion: that the reason they were so flat, lay with the excess of wheat germ. The recipe wanted half a cup (12SmL) for just the one pound (0.5kg) of ground beef, and though wheat germ hasn’t got a strong flavor in itself it can, when concentrated like that, overpower other flavors. Add that to the blandness of the zucchini in We can make a sort of the sauce and you’ve got boring. A half can of chopped green chiles made a lot of dif- beginning ‘‘crust’’. The im- portant thing is that her pud- dings are not mixed. She mixes the chocolate instant pudding and uses it as her third layer. The vanilla pud- ding becomes the _ fourth layer. This gives a much stronger chocolate flavor than combining the two, which results in an indefinite color as well as a blander the kitchen ranger by Eleanor Godley ference, they became almost enjoyable. Herewith my _ absolutely final last word on the omni- present **Sex-in-a-Pan’’. It ad never been my intention to elevate the darn thing into a hot topic; but I have to share with you the refinement adopted by Grace Eccleston of West Vancouver. One small thing is that she leaves all sugar out of the so-called taste. A couple of women readers had trouble with the famous Rum Balls. They were ‘“‘run- ny’’, they complained. Chill- ing overnight helped to some extent but both, independent- ly, decided the solution was another dose of vanilla wafer crumbs. I suspected that they had been using high-powered kit- chen machines for the mixing Bean Bake for big appetites Hattie’s Five Bean Bake will satisfy the heartiest autumn appetites.

I found this with shortbread, for instance - an electric machine pro- duces a very fragile cookie in- deed, whereas the traditional! shortbread is quite substan- tial. It will melt in-the- mouth, but tt won’t disintegrate in-the-fingers. However, they said they had mixed by hand, blasting my theory out of sight. I don’t know what cise would do it except a too warm condition during blending. One of these rum-ballers took three days to finish roll- ing the 130 she got from her batch, and in between ses- sions just put the bowl of candy into the refrigerator. She thinks she sacrificed some of the rum flavor by so doing, claims her first batch is much tastier than the third. It would be wise, then, to put a tight seal over the bow! in the interludes.
