    When I post a recipe that says "Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen" instead of
    "Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives" that means that I have actually made the
    recipe. It's my way of keeping track of which recipes in my database I
    have already done. It helps in my searches of the database.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Pignolata *
    Categories: Breads, Nuts, Snacks
    Yield: 9 servings

    2 c A-P flour; divided
    4 lg Eggs
    1/4 ts Salt
    2 c Oil; for frying
    1/2 c Granulated sugar
    1/2 c Honey
    2 tb Pine nuts
    1 tb Sprinkles or coloured candy
    - confetti

    * Sicilian Fried Dough Balls w/Honey & Pine Nuts

    Place 1 cup of the flour on a wooden mixing board. Form
    the flour into a small volcano shape and break the eggs
    into the center, one at a time. Add the salt and knead
    together gently, using your hands.

    Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a
    medium-soft, easily molded dough.

    Knead the dough until smooth, then divide it in half.

    Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured board
    into a circular piece about 1/4" (6 mm) thick. Cut the
    dough into strips about 1/4" (6 mm) wide. Roll each
    strip gently between your palms to form a small rope,
    then cut 1/4" (6 mm) long pieces from the rope. Each
    cut piece of dough should be about the size of a small
    marble. Distribute the pieces on a lightly floured
    board. Repeat with the remaining half of the dough.

    Heat the oil in a deep-sided pot. When very hot,
    gradually add a few dough pieces and fry in batches,
    stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Brown lightly
    for 1 to 2 minutes; then remove the fried dough balls
    from the oil with a perforated spoon or wire-mesh
    skimmer and drain them on a paper-towel-lined plate or
    tray.

    Mix the sugar and honey in a deep, wide skillet; and
    heat over a low flame, stirring constantly, for about 5
    minutes, or until the sugar has completely dissolved.
    When very smooth, add the fried dough pieces, stirring
    constantly with a wooden spoon until the dough is evenly
    covered in honey. Remove quickly and arrange on a large
    platter in a ring or in small clusters, using a spoon to
    mold the bits together. Sprinkle with pine nuts and
    candy confetti. Let cool.

    Serve by breaking off individual pieces with a fork.
    Pignolata keeps fresh for 2 weeks when stored in an
    air-tight container.

    Servings: 8 to 10 servings

    4 Squirrels; skinned, gutted,
    - feet removed
    8 ml Olive oil
    300 g Dandelion leaves
    300 g Young sow thistles
    100 g Young dock leaves
    150 g Hairy bittercress
    150 g Nettle tops
    3 md Onions

    1/2 ts Curry powder
    1/4 ts Turmeric
    1/8 ts Cinnamon
    1 sm Chile
    Water
    Salt & pepper

    Sweat the onions in the olive oil. Meanwhile, boil a
    pan of water and add the dock leaves sow thistle and
    dandelion leaves. Boil for about a 30 seconds to a
    minute. Strain off and discard the water (to remove
    excess bitterness from leaves). Add this as well as

    and all other ingredients to the meat pan. Also add
    about 3 cups of water.

    Simmer for about one hour with a lid on the pan,
    stirring occasionally to ensure no sticking and add
    a little more water if necessary. Serve with good
    rustic bread to soak up the juices.

    No, pine tree has shells, Dave :)

    The "shells" are the pine cone which opens of its own process to make
    the nuts accessible. They are still difficult to harvest which is why
    pine nuts/pignoli are so costly when bought. But the pine nuts bought
    in the store (or online) are just bare - no shells.

    Before you comment on this recipe - it is not to be taken seriously, it
    is presented facetiously (as a joke).

    Title: Cold Pine Cone Soup
    Categories: Five, Vegetables, Wierd, Herbs
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 kg Ripe pine cones
    10 l Fresh spring water
    Vinegar; pref balsamic
    1 Bay leaf
    Peppercorns

    In mid-January, place the pine cones into the largest
    metal cauldron you can find.

    Smash them violently with a heavy wooden ladle or
    mallet for an hour.

    Let the pine cones rest for 24 hours.

    Smash them for another hour.

    Repeat this process for a week.

    Pour in the water.

    Add the bay leaf, peppercorns, and 200 ml of vinegar.

    Let the mixture stand in a cool, well-ventilated space
    for 2 months while it ferments. Do NOT cover it with a
    lid, but with a piece of muslin or an old pair or
    stockings.

    Strain and serve cold on the first day of April, with
    liberal amounts of dill.
