Christmas Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups sultanas
2 cups raisins
1 cup walnuts
1 stick butter
4 large eggs
1 cup water
1 tsp baking soda
1 bottle vodka
Sample the vodka to check quality. Take a large bowl, and check vodka again. To be sure that it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat.
Turn on the electric mixer and beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's probably best to ensure that the vodka is shtill OK, so just try another cup......just in case. Turn off the mixerer, break 2 leggs, add to the bowl and chuck in 2 cups of dried fruit.
Pick fruit off floor. Mix on the turner. Iff the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry it loose with a screwdriver. Sample the vodka for tonsistency. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who giveshz a damn. Nobody undershtands you anyway. Check the vodka. Now shift the lemon and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar - or salt - or something.....
Greash the oven and piss in the fridge. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner.
Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the vodka, kick the cat and fall flat on the landing, muttering "Yer me besht mate.........I luv you" before bursting into tears and then falling fast asleep in a pool of your own dribble. Enjoy!
hehehe!! Merry Christmas Ya'll!! May the joy of Christmas stay with each of you throughout the coming year!!
WOW!! have I really not worked on my page since September?? gezzzzzzz!! ok...doin the BBQ thing today.....how about some potato salad?
TERI'S Sooooo Yummy Potato Salad
10 potatos
1 purple onion
1 can large black olives
Miracle Whip <<<--my own personal preference
Mustard
DILL relish <<--ok i GUESS u could use sweet relish if ya want but EWWWWWWW!! lol
Peel potatoes and cube. Boil til tender but not mushy. Drain potatos in strainer and rinse with COLD water. Put in bowl and allow to get cold.....or when ya add the other ingredients u will end up with MASHED potato salad like my mom always made and I could not STAND!! Adding the ingredients is really a taste kinda thing but i will ATTEMPT a guideline to go by. I probly use 2 maybe 3 tablespoons of Miracle Whip, a few squirts of mustard LOL enough to give it a bite and add that nice yellow color.....I use ALOT of onions so thats just a judgement call on your part, dice the black olives....not to small u want the chunks....TRUST me its yummmm!!! And again on the relish thing thats your call.....i just made some and all i had left was less than half of a small jar of relish so i just dumped it all in and it was good.Salt and pepper to taste.
It's THAT easy!!!! Serve with BBQ hamburgers/hot dogs or BBQ chicken!! mmmmm yummm!!! I'm gonna go sneak a little bite right now!! Happy Summer everyone!!! :-)
ENCHILADAS 9-30-99
2 lbs ground beef
1 lrg onion (minced)
1 lrg can black olives (minced)
1 lb Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
1 lb Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
1 Large pkg corn tortillas (36)
Olive oil
4 or 5 cans enchilada sauce
Brown ground beef and drain
Place beef in large bowl,add minced onions,minced olives,about half of each of the cheeses (the rest goes on the top) Mix all together and set aside---oh and be sure to make yourself SICK on the meat mixture while cooking the tortillas LOL!<<-- THAT'S real important! haha!
Place olive oil in skillet on med heat. In another skillet put about 3 cans of the enchilada sauce on med heat. You just wanna heat the tortillas in the olive oil NOT fry them crunchy! When they come out of the oil place them in the enchilada sauce soaking both sides. Take them out of the enchilada sauce and place on a plate (I usually do about 12 then I start to fill them)
Fill the tortillas with the meat mixture (use common sense when doing this--dont fill them soooo full u cant roll them) and place in a baking dish (deep cookie sheets work too) when u have them all rolled up, just pour on more enchilada sauce and sprinkle with both kinds of cheese.
Bake covered with foil at 350 degrees until the cheese melts.

P.S. this ALSO works with shredded chicken (my FAV) but the family likes the beef best! Enjoy! :-)
TAQUITOS aka flautas
corn tortillas
shredded chicken(my fav) or shredded beef or canned corn beef-Heck knock your self out & try all 3
cooking oil (i personally like the flavor of olive oil)
toothepicks (u HUSH rod)
guacamole,sour cream and HOT sauce
Ok... the rolling of these is the tricky part...I have found that if ya microwave the tortillas in the pkg until they feel kinda moist they roll better
Put enough meat in them so as to not just taste like plain tortillas, but not so much that they wont stay rolled. ok my little secret...toothepicks!! Rod says thats a cop out, but i tell him U HUSH!! lol
Ok just roll and then fry these until crunchy---its really THAT simple!!!
serve with refried beans and of course spanish rice.Don't forget the guacamole,sour cream and HOT sauce for dipping!! YUMMMMM!!!
Spanish Rice
1 cup long grain rice
olive oil
chopped onion (as much as ya like)
2 chicken flavor boullion cubes
1 can tomato sauce
fresh minced garlic (to taste)
garlic salt and pepper to taste
Saute rice in olive oil in a teflon frying pan til rice is lighty browned
Heat water to boiling,place boullion cubes in cup and add hot water to dissolve
Add hot water to almost the top of the pan, add boullion,onions and garlic and tomato sauce and simmer (Med) with lid on.
Rice is tricky...if ya stir it too much it will get sticky EWWWW!! So leave it alone just make sure its on Med and lift the lid occasionally to check on the water level. When it looks like most of the water is evaporated stir it and then make sure the rice is not still crunchy (if it is....add a little more hot water and continue cooking with the lid on. Like I said rice is tricky---its kinda a trial and error thing!! Good luck!

6-8 eggs
1 1/2-2 cups shredded mozzarella
cheese
1/2 cup diced onions
8oz. thin sliced mushrooms

Cut zucchini into slices and par-boil,
drain, beat eggs and combine all
ingredents together. Pour into 9" square
pan that you have coated with olive oil.

eggs are thoroughly cooked and lightly
browned on top. I also sprinkle parmesan

Flour tortillas (big 10 in ones)
1 large can refried beans

*sour cream or guacamole as garnish-and
LOTS of HOT sauce-(my own personal
preference)
Cut round steak in cubes about 1/2 in.
And poatoes about 1/2 too. Dice onions
and add to own liking. Start cooking
round steak first (hint: add a little
water and kinda let simmer cook--when
meat is pretty well browned add potatos
and onion and cook until tender.
Heat refried beans.Warm tortillas in
microwave so they will be easier to roll
into burrito form.Heat enchilada sauce
in pan.
Spread beans and then add the
meat/potato mixtire,then turn down both
ends and roll.
Place emillios in baking pan--cookie
sheets work also.Pour enchilada sauce
over all emillios and top with grated
cheese.
Heat in 350 degree oven for about 15
minutes or untill cheese melts.
Top with sour cream or guacamole or HECK
both if you want, and hot sauce or they
are great plain too!!!
Serve with spanish rice and beans or by
themselves--they are a meal by
themselves!! Hope ya enjoy!! :-)
