some recipe suggestions for sly

because she likes to cook, and I can't sleep. And, this is simply going to be a list of those recipes fromm Steve Raichlen's great Barbecue Bible Sauces, Rubs and Marinades, Basts, Butters and Glazes.

Which even if it Doesn't have pics, she should buy! I mean, smoked salt still pretty much looks like salt!

So, there are the recipes we/I keep going back to:

Smoked salt
Lemon pepper
Six pepper blend
Basic bbq rub (very good)
Kansas City sweet and smoky rub
Jake's Boss bbq rub
Dry Tuscan rosemary rub (very good)
The only marinade you'll ever need (very good)
Cinnamon-orange marinade
Turkish garlic yogurt marinade (very good)
Persian saffron yogurt marinade (very good)
Tandoori Marinade (very good)
Sweet Sesame-Soy marinade (VERY very good!) Okay, on this, we don't use the oyster sauce, and you Must use asian/dark/toasted sesame oil, and you Must use rice wine, not the sherry. Goes with seafood, poultry, beef, pork, lamb, tofu.
Basic Chinese marinade (very good)
Steak recado
Garlic butter baste (Very very good)
Sesame-soy butter baste (Very very good)
Pineapple garlic glaze
Fried garlic oil (very good)
Bacon onion butter
Honey-pepper bbq sauce


OMGosh! They sound so good! Yummy! Which to try first??Fried garlic oil sounds good, Steak recado sounds good, the basic Chinese marinade sounds good, Sweet Sesame-Soy sounds great, the Tandoori, Persian saffron yogurt marinade good for chicken? Lips curl...NO Rosemary!! Not yet. Still haven't gotten over the "OD" on that spice....shiversss..The pepper blend sounds good too. My favorite new spice is chipotle. They all sound great, really.Love,~Sly

Dessert recipes

Grasshopper Pie (best in hot weather, but I just found it now...and, it's always warm to hot here.)
2 oreo pie crusts
1 x 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup green Creme de Menthe
1/4 cup Creme de Cacao
2 cups Cool Whip
1 bag mint mini chocolate chips
1x 8 oz package cream cheese (and none of this light crap)
3 TBS (that would be tablespoons, sly) Real Lemon brand juice
Soften up the cream cheese, then mix all ingredients together, chill for thirty minutes to an hour, then pour in pie crusts, and put (and keep) in freezer for about 4 hours before serving.

Farm style chocolate chip cookies
NO subsitutions!
1 cup soft Crisco shortening
3/4 cup brown sugar
Mix until creamy
Add in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon water.
Add 2 eggs mix well
add 1 teaspoon salt
add 1 teaspoon baking soda (NOT baking powder!)
add 12 oz bag of chocolate chips, mix well.
add 2 to 2 and 1/4 cups flour (normal baking flour)
mix.
Don't eat all the raw dough.
bake at 375 till browned.

Chocolate Marshmallow bars (death to diets...)
1/2 cup butter (not margerine)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
6 0z chocolate chips
6 oz butterscotch chips
Melt all the above together in a double boiler or in a heavy pan on low heat. Keep stirring, keep watching.
Remove from heat, let cool slightly, should feel warm, but not hot to the touch, before adding half bag mini marshallows. Add to soon, will make marshmallows crunchy.
then put in lightly greased 11x7 inch pan, and refrigerate. Cut and serve when solid.
enjoy
Angie

Yes, not for the diet or health concious. The pie isn't so bad, as you can take small slices, and it goes fast.Same for the cookies.The bars, however, are a different matter, and are best made when scavenging flocks of teens are in the area, that way it goes fast, before it all ends up on my bottom.Angie

More recipes, sorta

sly had asked for some Filipino and Hawaiian recipes, and these next ones are ones that we cook fairly often, but, I don't feel like typing them out, or trying to get them to scan, and then transferred, since they are ALL in the books I keep asking her to buy, which you can get CHEAP online!

So, instead, will give you the name of the book, and the recipe name, and page number,so there!
and yes, I know that these books don't have pics, you will live.
love,
Angie

Hawaiian french toast

This is the basic recipe you can find in the mom and pop cafes all over Hawaii.
Now, the key here is the bread. You can NOT substitute another bread, unless you happen to be by a Portuguese bakery and ask for Portuguese sweetbread!
Anyways, the key as I said is the bread, which is King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread, from the original Kings bakery in Hawaii. The good news is that you can now find this ALL over the mainland in major grocery stores. It's a round loaf,, with an orange wrapper.
As their recipe on the package goes:
1 loaf Kings Hawaiian Bread
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Slice bread crosswise so each slice is about 1-inch thick. Cut each slice into thirds, if desired (or your pan is small!)
Combine remaining ingredients. Quickly dip slices (do NOT soak) in egg mixture and cook until golden brown on both sides (Julie, they cook fast you can't leave the stove, honey...)
that's it.
