FROM THE EDITOR
Hi Everyone! I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful and encouraging
emails I receive everyday. I am doing my best to answer them all. I'm going to
be going on vacation in a week so the next newsletter may be a day or two late.
I'm spending the week in Washington, DC with my friends from high school. I'm
sure we will have a wonderful time exploring our capital city. If any of you
have recommendations of restaurants or something we shouldn't miss, please let
me know.

With electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream cheese until fluffy. Add

scrape down sides of bowl several times as necessary. Beat in lemon zest. Lower

To serve, bring cheesecake to room temperature for 45 minutes. Mix strawberries
with blueberries in bowl. Serve slices of cheesecake garnished with berries.

there will be enough butter in the cookies themselves so that you do not need to
add melted butter to the crumbs for the crust.

SHARED RECIPES FROM THE RECIPE EXCHANGE
GRILLED ORANGE & TEQUILA CHICKEN
This is a very simple dish --- takes a little preplanning, however. I find it
works best to put the chicken in the marinade in the morning and grill it for
dinner.
4 chicken breasts, skinless, boneless
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 C. orange juice
1/2 C. tequila
1/4 C. lemon juice
1 tsp. grated orange rind
1 jalapeno
Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Sprinkle the chopped onions over
chicken. Mix together orange juice, tequila, lemon juice, orange rind and
jalapeno. Pour the mixture over the chicken, cover and refrigerate for 6-8
hours, turning two or three times during the day.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, let stand at room temperature for 1/2 hour
then grill over hot coals approximately 20 minutes, basting with the marinade,
until the chicken is done. Discard any remaining marinade and serve the chicken
with polenta or rice and a salad.
Serves 4.

BEEHIVE CAKE
Recipe courtesy Basque Boulangerie Cafe
Honey Almond Praline:
2 oz. (1/2 stick) butter
2 oz. (1/3 C.) sugar
1/4 C. (2 oz.) honey
3/4 C. (2 oz.) almonds
Custard Filling:
2/3 C. sugar
4 T. cornstarch
4 egg yolks
2 C. milk
1 envelope, plus 1 t. unflavored gelatin
1/4 C. water
2 C. heavy cream
1/4 C. sugar
2 t. vanilla extract
Cake:
2 C. flour
1/2 t. salt
1 package active dry yeast or 1 cake fresh yeast
1 T. sugar
1/4 C. warm milk
3 T. butter, melted and cooked
1 egg
1/3 jar caramel topping
To make the honey almond praline: Melt the butter, add sugar and honey, cook
until bubbly and ingredients marry. Remove from the heat and stir in the
almonds. Let this mixture cool.
To make the custard filling: First place the sugar and cornstarch in a small to
medium pan. In a bowl, mix the egg yolks and milk together. Whisk them into the
sugar and starch mixture in the pan. Cook this over low heat and gradually
increase to a medium heat bringing the mixture to a boil. The mixture will
bubble slowly. Whisk this bubbling mixture for 3 to 4 minutes and remove from
heat.
Soak the gelatin in a 1/4 cup of warm water for 5 minutes. Add gelatin mixture
to hot custard and whisk. Set aside to cool in a clean bowl. Cover with plastic
to keep mixture from crusting and refrigerate until cool.
After mixture has cooled, whip cream, sugar, and vanilla to medium peaks. Fold
whipped cream into cooled custard. Make sure to whisk custard to creamy stage
before gradually folding in whipping cream. Refrigerate until ready to fill
split cake layers.
To make the cake: Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl. Make a well in
the center of the flour. Add yeast and sugar to the well. Add milk, cooled
melted butter, and egg, and let sit for 2 minutes to soften yeast, whisk yeast
and liquid ingredients only to dissolve yeast. Gradually whisk or beat in flour
until well is blended. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead in
enough flour only until dough is no longer sticky. Continue kneading
approximately 5 to 7 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover dough with
a towel or plastic wrap and let dough rest approximately 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.
Punch dough down. Roll or pat dough into 9 inch, greased pan. Prick dough all
over with a fork. Spread cooled honey almond praline over dough. Let cake rest
and double in height approximately, 45 to 60 minutes. Preheat oven to 350�F.
Bake until golden approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
To assemble the cake: Cut cooled cake in half to make 2 layers. Drizzle 1/3 jar
caramel over bottom layer. Top with the custard mixture. Place the top layer
over the custard and refrigerate or freeze for several hours to firm up custard
before cutting.
This recipe can be doubled and made into a half sheet cake the size of a
jellyroll pan, this is wonderful to serve for breakfast gatherings, this cake
will not be too sweet. If baking in half sheet, use a piece of cardboard to lift
off top half of cake, you can use a flattened paper plate on round cake layers.

"BOTTOMS UP" TURKEY
Using your hands, slather bird heavily with vegetable oil in foil-lined roasting
pan. (Keep soapy dish handy to rinse hands). Place bird...breast down...on 4 to
6 slices of dry toast, arranged in a square under the breast. Roast in the lower
part of the oven at 400 degrees, for about 45 minutes. Remove and cool.
If bird is to be stuffed, STUFF IT NOW, adding the pieces of toast from the
breast (cut them up) for added flavor. Remove pan foil and clean pan. Rewrap
bird with foil (breast side up) tightly in 2 sheets of heavy foil, north to
south and east to west. Return to 350 degree oven to finish baking
at 18 to 20 minutes per pound (including the 400 degree baking time).
20 to 30 minutes before done, cut foil lengthwise down breast, to brown breast.
Pour off juices and return to oven to continue browning breast. Make gravy while
breast is finishing browning.
Use an oven thermometer to check oven temperature for accuracy. If oven starts
to smoke during first 400 degree cooking...oven is to hot.
This recipe was sent in by JUDY. "It was given out on our local radio station,
and was the most requested recipe the announcer ever gave. It's different and
makes a very moist turkey."

KITCHEN TIPS ...... Picnic, Barbecue & Cookout Food Safety Tips
Pack foods in the cooler in the order opposite of how you'll be using them. In
other words, pack the food you'll need last at the bottom and so on.
A cooler chest can also be used to keep hot food hot. Line the cooler with a
heavy kitchen towel for extra insulation and place well wrapped hot foods
inside. It's amazing how long the foods will stay not only warm, but hot. Try to
use a cooler that is just the right size to pack fairly tightly with hot food so
less heat escapes.
If you're planning on take-out foods such as fried chicken or barbecued beef,
eat them within two hours of pick-up or buy ahead of time and chill completely
before packing the foods into the cooler.
It's a good idea to use a separate cooler for drinks, so the one containing
perishable food won't be constantly opened and closed.
To clean foods that have burnt on a barbecue grill, enclose them in a large
plastic garbage bag. Mix 1 cup baking soda with 1/2 cup ammonia, pour over the
grills, close the bag and let sit overnight. The burnt on pieces will have
loosened making the grills easy to clean.
