Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 21 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Fri, Jan 8, 1999 (13:38) * 1 linesthat's so violent, i thought getting someone vulnerable was a little more subtle!
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 22 of 57: Stacey Vura (stacey) * Fri, Jan 8, 1999 (13:38) * 1 linesWolfie got slipped again, methinks!

Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 28 of 57: Maggie (sociolingo) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (07:50) * 1 linesNobody's been here for a while I see. Well, I'm doing penance right now for all my cookbooks. We're doing the sort out and I don't want to let any go. But - i hate cooking, well, ordinary things anyway. I particularly love chinese cookbooks, and my favourite and most used is my jungle camp cookbook.
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 29 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (14:05) * 3 linesDo all of the recipies in your jungle camp cookbook begin "take a large pot big enough to fit two missionaries"...?! I seem to see a huge kettle in my mind with the handle entwined in sticks and suspended over an open fire.
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 30 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (14:22) * 3 linesMaggie - thanks for bringing this place back on topic. The children were teasing each other, it appears. I wonder if I will
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 31 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:14) * 3 lineshey! i thought only i growled!!
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 32 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:14) * 1 linesand german chocolate cake doesn't contain coconut either (the kind i'm used to)....
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 33 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:23) * 3 linesOnly in modern times did coconut come into cooking in the western world. It was too hard to obtain...but, then...so was chocolate. Over here we use Macadamia nuts *grin* Nuthin compares with home cooking of someone who has done it for ages and modified it each time she made it. I know...My mother's recipes I am still trying to modify to figure out how she got the particular flavor she did.
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 34 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:28) * 1 linesluckily, mom gave me the german potato salad recipe and the german black forest cake (my fave). but the bread dumplings in the book is the same, thank goodness and so are the birds (thin breakfast steak rolled with mustard and pickle, simmered in a pot for several hours, delicious and melts apart)....oh, and spaeztle, which i have my very own press....i use a low fat/cholesterol recipe, but the real one is very thick, rich, and hard to press through that contraption. (spaeztle are flour and egg noodles) oma still uses a knife and board to make the noodles.
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 35 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:29) * 1 linesoh, plus we're from swabia which probably alters some of the recipes.
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 36 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:29) * 1 linesOnly wilted greens with hot dressing has bacon in it. The German potato salad shouldn't have it...I'll see what I can find here.
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 37 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:32) * 3 linesright! the swabian recipe is made with potatoes (duh!), oil, herb vinegar, and vegetable broth (dry) and served hot. it can be eaten cold but hot is better! but the dry vegee broth sold here isn't the same. oma has sent me packages with the stuff in it but am trying to find a site that sells it in dollars and not marks (maggi-nestle has the stuff on their website but it's german and they don't plan to offer a translation-i emailed and asked)
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 38 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:36) * 1 linesOoo...I'm getting really hungry! We had veal birds, but veal tends to be tough for me.
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 39 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:39) * 1 lineswe didn't have birds very often (and for those who don't know why they're called birds, they look like bird bodies when you cook them up, round and plump, not made out of birds, no way)
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 40 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (16:54) * 1 linesYup! decapitated birds...rather an odd name, actually...! We had them for dinner and they had bread stuffing in them at Penn State (whose dorm cooking was excellent and the food fresh off the pastures outside the buildings.)
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 41 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Tue, Apr 4, 2000 (18:55) * 1 linesyou didn't have to worry about preservatives, huh? bet you knew why it was taking so long to get the dinner to you! *laugh* we often joke that when we eat out, the meal is taking so long cuz they had to catch the fish, pluck the chicken, or get the cow!!
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 42 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Wed, Apr 5, 2000 (00:59) * 1 lines*lol* We think they have to catch the chicken, make it lay the egg, hatch that sucker and feed it till grown before we get it at some places we eat. Not at Penn State. Green milk in the spring, onion milk a little later on...ah yes!
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 43 of 57: Maggie (sociolingo) * Wed, Apr 5, 2000 (04:06) * 3 linesHey Wolfie, my colleague who lived in the gambian village (she was a nurse) was Schwabisch. her parents came to stay once and although i can understand some German I couldn't understand a word they said!! the other nurse was swiss german, but they spoke Engish together because E. refused to speak high german! I did a whole round of the village once with another swiss german friend before she realised shed'd been speaking in german to me all the time. I guess I answered in the right places!!!
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 44 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Wed, Apr 5, 2000 (18:16) * 1 linesAnd all this while I though you grabbed the chicken by the head and spun it around your head till its neck was wrung. Was someone telling me tall tales?
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 45 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Thu, Apr 6, 2000 (18:09) * 1 linesdon't think so, they still do it that way.....
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 46 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Thu, Apr 6, 2000 (21:50) * 1 linesGood...I like to know that what I think is so really is so! I have never done it and think I'd have to have starving children to do it, but I'm sure we know those who have. My grandmother, for one (but I did not know her)...
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 47 of 57: Maggie (sociolingo) * Sat, Apr 8, 2000 (11:29) * 1 linesCan you really imagine my very english husband swinging a chicken around his head?? Sorry, it was the machete every time!
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 48 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Sat, Apr 8, 2000 (15:57) * 1 linesNow that I know Tony a little better and have conversed with him, I imagine he would think the entire process a bother and rather brutish for his tastes. Poor Dear that he is...it is their time-honored chore. I think plucking and singeing off the feathers is not much better!
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 49 of 57: Maggie (sociolingo) * Sat, Apr 8, 2000 (16:23) * 1 linesBoy did he struggle with that one! (It sort of ranked with (culturally appropriate) holding hands with his men friends as he walked them out of our compound and along the street - quick look over my shoulder to make sure he's not looking!)
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 50 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Sat, Apr 8, 2000 (22:11) * 1 linesOh My!!! That would hit up against the male-appropriate and inappropriate behavior. I am sure he was most uncomfortable. Old time Japanese think kissing is disgusting. They just have not kissed the right guys, apparently *lol*
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 51 of 57: Maggie (sociolingo) * Sun, Apr 9, 2000 (02:36) * 3 linesI guess it's a different perspective if you're a guy!!! *grin* It was culturally appropriate for me to hold hands with my friends too, but that didn't cause me any problems. I'll tell you more elsewhere!
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 52 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Sun, Apr 9, 2000 (13:50) * 2 linesLOL....I won't be seeing you in a huge pot, then? Good!
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 53 of 57: Maggie (sociolingo) * Sun, Apr 9, 2000 (14:17) * 1 linesI got both my girls a copy. Is there somewhere to post recipes I have a few that I could write up. (now is this thesis avoidence technique? - I'm good at that!)
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 54 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Sun, Apr 9, 2000 (18:20) * 1 linesyou could visit the food topic....

Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 56 of 57: Wolf (wolf) * Sun, Apr 9, 2000 (19:01) * 1 lineswe're gonna have to publish that thing. i'd buy a copy....
Topic 8 of 69 [collecting]: Cookbooks Response 57 of 57: Marcia (MarciaH) * Mon, Apr 10, 2000 (00:12) * 1 linesSo would I. The closest thing I have is Cooking Under Way which is cooking on a stove on a sailboat for long distance sailing. That's where I got the recipe for the homemade yogurt and that reminds me I promised the recipe to Stace some time ago. Gotta get on that.
