    Just an aversion, but not as strong a one as the one I have to peanut butter. (G)

    Depends on the dish for me. I'm not at all fond of the dried shredded
    stuff that some insist on using for cake decoration, etc. I tolerate
    the moist shredded coconut in a Mounds or Almond Joy candy bar - but I generally leave them where found. Bv)=

    But I do enjoy breaking open a fresh coconut and drinking the liquid

    Either way my Almond Joy and/or Mounds bars would be safe in your vicinity. Bv)=

    Yes, those are safe. OTOH, a Milky Way or 3 Musketeers bar is in
    danger. (G)

    I think my favourite candy bar is PayDay.

    To make this Ruth friendly you could substitute Tahini or a nut (not peanut) butter or vegan butter for the coconut butter.

    Almonds aren't my favorite nut so if I wanted to make it, I might sub
    in cashews instead. Overall, I prefer to eat nuts by themselves, not
    mixed in with my candy.

    I like nearly all nuts - cashews lead the list, followed by pecans/walnuts almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts and peanuts near the bottom.

    But I do enjoy breaking open a fresh coconut and drinking the liquid

    My mother used to make a dish she called ambrosia using fresh grated
    coconut and orange sections (cut to remove all membrane and seeds). It
    was very good. However, if you try to look up ambrosia recipes, you
    will find other very different things -- nothing as simple as what she
    made.

    I think my favourite candy bar is PayDay.

    We get bags of mixed small or minature sized chocolate candy (think
    Halloween) which we use as a sweet treat after dinner. We discovered a
    type of bar in some of the mixes that we really like. It is called a
    $100,000 bar.

    I am with you pretty much. Except that near the top for me is the

    call them rooster because she uses sirachi with a rooster picture on the

    Title: Ketcham Canyon Stew
    Categories: Soup/stew, Meat
    Yield: 6 Servings

    MMMMM-------------------AMERICAN MEASUREMENTS------------------------
    8 ea Strips thick-sliced bacon
    -chopped
    1/3 c All-purpose flour
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Fresh ground black pepper
    1 ts Dried thyme or sage (opt)
    2 1/2 lb Beef chuck or bottom round
    -cut into 1-1/2" cubes
    3/4 c Chopped onion
    12 fl Strong coffee
    3 tb Chili sauce or ketchup
    2 tb Molasses
    2 tb Worcestershire sauce
    18 ea Small boiling onions; peel
    24 fl Water
    6 sm Red potatoes; peel; quarter
    4 ea Carrots; peel, cut into
    -1-1/2"lengths
    Chopped fresh parsley for
    -garnish; optional

    In 1870, a fierce blizzard caused my great-grandfather's cattle to
    drift away from his Wind Mill Ranch near Cheyenne, Wyoming. The
    cattle were found in a sheltered canyon nearly twenty miles south,
    in the Chalk bluffs of northeastern Colorado. Benjamin Franklin
    Ketcham took this as a sign and staked his claim in what is now known
    as Ketcham Canyon.

    Men did the cooking on trail drives and roundups. My father's uncles
    Will and Herb Ketcham -- old-style open range cowboys -- were used to
    "doing for themselves". Uncle Herb could whip up a batch of biscuits
    in a flash and cook almost anything in his old Dutch oven. Bacon or
    coffee left from breakfast became part of a hearty stew served to
    ravenous cowboys at the noon time dinner. Serve this stew with hot
    biscuits.

    DIRECTIONS: In a Dutch oven over medium-low heat, cook the bacon
    slowly to render the fat. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted
    spoon and set aside.

    Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, the pepper, and thyme. Pat the
    beef cubes dry and toss with the flour mixture.

    Over medium-high heat, brown the beef in the bacon drippings, working
    in batches if necessary. Remove the browned meat and set it aside.

    Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the
    coffee, chili sauce, molasses, Worcestershire, and reserved beef and
    bacon. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring
    occasionally.

    Add the boiling onions and 3 cups of water. Simmer, covered, for 30
    minutes. Stir in the potatoes, carrots, and more water, if necessary.
    Continue to simmer the stew, partially covered, for about 30 minutes,
    or until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Add salt to taste and
    serve garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.

    Makes 6 servings

    I have 4 "ambrosia" recipes in my archives. The first two have a credit
    line of "== Courtesy of Dale & Gail Shipp, Columbia Md. ==" None of
    them call for coconut.

    My grandmother used to make "Ambrosia" which was basically a fruit salad
    with mini-marshmallows, whipped cream and shredded coconut added. I
    never got to sample it because she always added bananas - to which I
    have an allergy.

    price in HI so we ate a lot of them.

    I don't think I've ever experienced a Macadamia nut. I do know they are
    native to Australia and have enough oil that if eaten regularly you'll
    never have to buy Ex-Lax again.

    They can also be used to make a sort of cheese.

    Title: Macadamia Nut "Ricotta"
    Categories: Five, Nuts, Citrus
    Yield: 1.5 cups

    2 c Raw macadamia nuts
    1 ts Kosher salt
    1 tb Juice from 1/2 lemon
    1/2 c Water

    In a food processor or a high powered blender, puree
    the ingredients together until smooth.

    If necessary, scrape down the sides with a spatula
    and/or add a bit more water. The resulting texture
    should resemble - you guessed it! - ricotta cheese.

    Amplify the color and flavor by mixing in 1/4 teaspoon
    of smoked paprika. Or add minced sundried tomatoes and
    fresh basil.

    Makes 1 1/2 cups

    COOKS' NOTE: This "ricotta" will keep for up to a week
    in an airtight container in the fridge.

    You may have, but not been aware of it. We had bought them from time to
    time before moving to HI but bought more while over there. Since coming
    back to the mainland 15 years ago, they've been an off and on purchase.


    are native to Australia and have enough oil that if eaten regularly
    you'll
    never have to buy Ex-Lax again.

    We eat enough of a high fiber diet that we don't need to buy Ex-Lax
    anyways. Whole wheat bread/pasta, brown rice, a good amount of fruits
    and veggies are the norm for us.


    They can also be used to make a sort of cheese.

    Interesting, but I think I'll stick with buying regular ricotta. My mom
    used to make lasagne with cottage cheese; after I married Steve, I gave
    her my MIL's recipie using ricotta. I think she made it a couple of
    times but then, as my siblings moved out, she stopped making lasagne. I
    still make it from time to time when I have to feed about 10-12 people.
