Hi Nancy-I want to thank Sara in Fl. for the spaghetti sauce recipe source. It is not the exact recipe but I will make it using what else I might remember from the original.

No newsletter was sent out yesterday. The old computer bit the dust. My new computer now has the web programs on it but would not connect to the internet. That computer is in the shop getting a new card in it. My laptop froze up when I put the 9.0 version of AVG. Spent all of yesterday trying to get all of AVG completely off off so it could be reinstalled. After hours of frustration yesterday and today, my laptop now working. It seemed as though the best thing for me to do yesterday is just back off and start fresh attitude this morning. The laptop is now working so the newsletter is being sent out tonight.

At one time I had a chart that listed different uses for vinegar. Now I can't find it. Does anyone know what I am talking about or can help me find it.

Hello Nancy & Gang-
I am hoping our great network of cooks can help me-my Mother's Grandmother (Mom is 72) made what she remembers being called Butter Custard. It was simply fresh churned butter, sugar, flour, milk, and vanilla flavoring. It had a homemade crust and was put together in layers-and these are guessing measurements as she never measured-3 T butter, 3 T sugar, 2 T of milk, and 2 T flour with 2 drops vanilla. This makes a thin layer 1/2 to 1" thick. It is baked until the sugar caramelizes and it butter is still a bit liquid. I would love to make this for my Mom. She said it was just a little something just right for her and siblings coming in from school-Big Mama would have 2-3 made to have some for Big Daddy for supper. If anyone can help-please do.

I want to thank Robbie IN for the peanut butter dog bone treat recipe. I made up a double batch before visiting my grand dogs last weekend. I made bone shapes, Scottie dog shapes and little squares. I saved half in the freezer for when they come here next month. The dogs went crazy over them. My husband tasted one and said he didn't think they were very flavorful, but dogs aren't used to the sweet cookies we eat. These were healthy. It must be their refined sense of smell and taste that had them looking for more. I cooled and dried them good, but after being in a Ziploc bag, they softened some. We stored them in the refrigerator. Thanks for making me Super Grandma.

In order to have my hand surgery I must get a clearance from a neurologist. First I need to find a primary doctor here in Lubbock to refer me to the neurologist. It seems that roadblocks keep me from getting the hand surgery. I have a basic mistrust in doctors. After undergoing approximately every 4 to 5 months (4 years) of extreme pain in my side. It was discovered that I really was passing kidney stones (cystinuria.) and not a suffering from a psychological pain in my side.  I lost a kidney due to the misdiagnosis. Since that time I have I do not like or trust most doctors in the world. Because of the mistrust for doctors and the need for 2 more doctors to get approval for the hand surgery, the hand surgery may not happen. I do not wish to pay 2 more doctors so I can have surgery from another. During the time I was a teacher it was necessary for me to hold  three jobs during the school year and at least two in the summers to pay my medical bills. I do not wish to go in debt to three doctors have a surgery.

Hi Everyone
My husband and I try to eat fish at least once or twice a week. Since we are trying to be healthy, I don’t want to deep fry or pan fry the fish. I usually bake it. Does anyone have any TNT sauces that they normally use on fish. It sure would be nice to try something new.
Thank you.

Hi~ I need help. If the following is something TNT you've made, I'd sure appreciate the cooking (baking ?) procedure for it --

- My mother would take a flank steak and butterfly it.
- Steak was cut in about 3" strips, & (? unknown) stuffing put in middle.
- Then, each filled strip was rolled into an individual oval 'bundle'.
- And, each bundle was wrapped in bacon (that really added to flavor)
- Toothpicks were used to hold each bundle tight.

This is probably one of her German or eastern European recipes. It was so delicious. As flank steak's so expensive, I don't dare try it unless I have more info and proper cooking time.

I've seen 'Pinroll-type' versions of this with rice stuffing, but that's not the same. And, she might have used same crouton stuffing mix as she did for turkeys. (I called the bundles "Birds")

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is staying cool in all this HOT weather. I recently went to a birthday party and a group of ladies was talking about canning. One lady said her MIL used to can bananas. I never heard of such. She indicated that the bananas were whole and when opened would taste as if they were recently purchased. Her MIL died without giving out the recipe. Does anyone know how to do this? Would also like some TNT canning recipes for pumpkins.
Thanks, Wyndal from MS.

Thanks to Genie for letting me know what vegetables I can eat on the Coumadin diet. This is really going to help me.
Thanks, Grandma O,IL

I would like to get TNT recipes for different recipes for canning jalapeño peppers. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello to all. Can someone please send in recipes for fig preserves? Mine are plentiful so far, but I do not know what to do with them. I also would like some pear recipes. Thanks so much and God bless all.

Recently someone in the newsletter wanted a T&T mushroom soup. I wrote down the date of the newsletter and the person's name that made the request but lost the piece of paper with the information on it. I will send in the recipe and hope the person sees it, tries it and likes it.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons finely minced shallots
1 pound sliced mushrooms
4 Tablespoons flour
1 quart chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup half & half
1/4 cup sherry

Melt butter in a 4 quart saucepan, add the shallots and soften, add mushrooms and sauté over high heat, stirring often for 10 minutes. Stir in flour and add the broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a full boil, reduce heat and simmer partly covered 45 minutes. Add the cream, remove from the heat, stir in sherry and serve.
