    From JIM WELLER@1:135/392 to DALE SHIPP on Sat Jul 24 22:52:00 2021

    Quoting Dale Shipp to Moderator <=-

    It was my understanding that Dave (and Jim Weller) were finding
    current recipes in a variety of sources.

    I make it a point to provide fresh material from other sources
    rather than just recycle stuff from here that has already been seen. Occasionally it will be original, from my own kitchen.

    Title: French Onion Soup (Mon Village)
    Categories: Soups, Beef, French, Cheese

    8 md Onions, Sliced

    2 Bay Leaves
    48 oz Beef Consomme
    48 oz Water
    3 tb HP (Steak) Sauce
    2 tb Worcestershire Sauce
    1/2 c Dry Sherry

    Pepper
    10 Slices (Round) Bread,
    -Toasted
    2 1/2 lb Mild White Cheddar, Sliced
    -Thin

    Saute the onions, butter and bay leaves in a large skillet until
    the onions are transparent. Combine the onion mixture with the
    consomme, water, steak (HP) sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sherry,
    salt and pepper in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat
    to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Fill each serving bowl only 3/4
    full. Float a toasted bread slice on each. Cover the bread with
    cheese slices (about 1/4 lb of cheese per bowl). Place the bowls
    under the broiler until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
    Serve hot.

    And I appaud the two of you for that. I just do not have the time or
    energy to do that sort of research anymore. What I do instead is to
    pick a theme (of the month or two), and from there try to pick recipes
    that look different or fit the topic or the person.

    The first paragraph of this recipe seems clear, but the second paragraph wonders me. I also doubt that an entire loaf of bread is needed. The
    topping does look good.

    Title: MUSHROOM SANDWICHES
    Categories: None, Sandwich
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 Loaf Bread, thin
    -- crusts Removed

    If you thin slice the loaf lengthwise then it sort-of makes some sense, especially with the "make roll with one slice and cut roll in half"
    part of the directions. I've seen other sandwich recipes that called
    for rolling a single slice like a jellyroll and cutting that into
    individual portion.

    Clean and chop mushrooms finely. Saute gently in butter for 5
    minutes. Blend in flour and salt. Stir in cream and cook, stirring
    constantly until thickened. Add chives or onion juice and lemon
    juice. Remove from heat and cool.

    I don't blame the original poster. The recipe is poorly written enough
    and the servings far enough off that I'd not claim credit either. Bv)=

    Title: Sandwich Roll
    Categories: Five, Breads, Pork, Poultry, Cheese
    Yield: 10 servings

    1 Loaf frozen bread dough
    Mustard - your choice
    10 sl Deli ham
    10 sl Deli turkey
    1 c Cheddar cheese; shredded

    Take a loaf of frozen dough out of the freezer in the
    morning. Grease a loaf pan and the top of the loaf.
    Cover with plastic wrap and let sit on the counter all
    day or until thawed - several hours.

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    Lightly flour your counter top and roll out the bread
    dough to a large rectangle - about 9" X 12".

    Slather the mustard you are using (UDD likes "Mr.
    Mustard" a Dijon-style mustard) on the dough, then layer
    the ham and turkey. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the
    meat. Roll up from the shorter end and place in your
    already greased loaf pan - seam side down.

    Bake for 30-45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 30
    minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool.

    To serve, cut a generous slice and place on a pieces of
    foil in the oven for 10-15 minutes until heated.

    Refrigerate any left overs. (As if - UDD)

    NOTES: I've made this twice. Once as a trial run -
    which produced enough leftovers for a second meal. The
    second go was for a party. There were NO leftovers.
    First (trial run) go was with white bread. The live
    action version used whole wheat.

    I rarely trust the stated number of servings in a recipe until I have
    actually tried it and adopted it as one of my own. As I implied, I
    agree with your statement about quality and clarity of the recipe
    instructions.

    Title: High Roller Sandwich Roll-Ups
    Categories: Sandwich
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 Bag flour tortillas
    1 lg Bar of softened cream
    -cheese
    -Roast beef sliced thin
    -Ham sliced thin
    -Turkey sliced thin
    -Colby Jack cheese, sliced
    -thin
    -Lettuce shredded thin
    -strips
    -Garlic powder
    -Sliced tomatoes very thin

    Use the back of a spatula and cover each tortilla with a thin
    layer of cream cheese. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder.
    Use half of the tortilla: to layer meats, cheese, lettuce,
    and tomatoes. Then roll up tortilla with cream cheese side
    rolled up last so it will seal as if using glue. Cut in 1
    inch pieces and serve. Serves 8-10.

    <<<<<<<<<<<<<< TIP's CORNER >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    SANDWICH BITS: If you're making grillled sandwiches,
    follow these quick tips to keep em' easy-to-eat:

    * Use firm bread that won't disintegrate when you pile
    on the ingredients.

    * Slice vegetables, meats and cheeses evenly and on the
    thin side so that they stack up well.

    * For skillet sandwiches, press the sandwich down in
    the skillet to keep it compact and to ensure that the
    cheese melts evenly. If the sandwich is not too tall,
    you can push it down with your hand; if it's bulky,
    weight it down with a small skillet or a large onion
    or potato.

    * Once the sandwich is made, don't mess it up when you
    cut it. Use a serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion.
    Don't push down; let the knife do the work.

    Thank you Otto Rohwedder and the Chillicothe (MO) Baking Co. - not as
    many think Wonder Bread. Today if you want an unsliced loaf you needs
    must go to the bakery. Or do it yourself.

    Sometimes when entering a recipe - there is no yield quantity given. So
    I make the recipe in my head and guesstimate the number of servings.

    Just a minor terminology quibble. I'd call that a "wrap". And leave the "sandwich" part laying on the butcher block. Bv)=

    Title: Rustic Italian Cheese Bread
    Categories: Breads, Herbs, Cheese
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 c Warm water; 125+|F/52+|C
    2 tb Olive oil
    3 c Unbleached flour
    2 ts Sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 ts Italian seasoning mix
    1/4 ts Garlic granules
    1 Packet cheese mix from a box
    - of generic Mac & Cheese.
    1 pk Active dry yeast
    Cornmeal
    1 Egg white; beaten

    Place ingredients except cornmeal & egg white in bread
    machine pan according to manufacturer's directions.
    Process on dough setting.

    Sprinkle ungreased cookie sheet with cornmeal. At end
    of dough cycle, remove dough from machine; place on a
    lightly floured surface. Punch down dough (If dough
    is sticky, knead in additional flour before shaping).

    Shape dough into baguette-shaped loaf about 12" long.
    Place loaf on cornmeal-coated sheet. Cover; let rise
    in warm place, 80-85+|F/27-29+|C, for 20-25 minutes or
    until light and doubled in size.

    Heat oven to 375+|F/190+|C. With a sharp knife, make
    one deep lengthwise slash in top of loaf. Brush loaf
    with egg white.

    Bake for 25-35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow
    when lightly tapped.

    Makes one 12 slice loaf.

    NOTE: You can also let the bread machine do the baking
    for you - but the loaf won't look "rustic". It will, of
    course, taste just as good. - UDD
