An idea to discuss (recipes/rpca emergency fund)

If you wanted to be really industrious, you could hit Google and find allt
he recipes that have been posted over the years in trollbq threads.

Of course, you would have to have absolutely no life to start with, but
compiling all those incredible recipes would be incredible if anyone had the
time or patience to do it.

Well, I don't mind going back a little way: I'll see what I can dig up
before RL intervenes :-)

I'll send in the recipe for the rye-and-seeds bread that Dave and I
developed over a couple of years - I just have to spend some time
working out the metric-to-imperial conversion factors and to work out
exactly how much "a bit of this and a bit of that" translates to!

Lovely! I am going include conversion tables, but they may not be
localised for your kitchen ;-)

wasn't as dark as the commercial ones I've tried. So I'm guessing it was a
variation of Poblano.

Here's an easy version of poblano, translated and adapted from "La
cocina familiar en el estado de Puebla" by yours truly...

EASY MOLE POBLANO

1 cooked chicken, cut in pieces (boil the chicken with onion, carrots,
celery and fine herbs, season with salt and pepper)
4 tbs of lard
2 tbs toasted sesame seeds
6 ancho chiles
2 mulato chiles
4 allspice berries
3 garlic cloves
2 cloves
2 bay leaves
1 french roll, cut in cubes and fried in oil
1 onion
1 tsp mexican cinnamon, crushed
1 piece of mexican chocolate
1 corn tortilla, toasted on the griddle until almost burn

Seed and devein the chiles, soak in boiling water to soften. Puree the
chiles with the rest of the ingredients (except the chicken and the
lard) in the food processor to form a paste. Add some chicken stock if
needed to process.
Fry the paste in the lard, season with salt and add enough chicken stock
to achieve a thick sauce consistency.
Add the chicken pieces and let simmer for a few minutes.

Serve with mexican rice (my recipe to follow) and corn tortillas.

EASY MEXICAN RICE

1 cup rice
2 large roma tomatoes
1 small white onion
2 garlic cloves

Blend the tomatoes with the onions and garlic, add enough chicken stock
to get 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Season with salt.
Fry the rice in oil in a heavy pot until it turns golden brown. Add the
tomato mixture (pass through a sieve if you like) and lower the heat.
Cover and let simmer until the liquid has been absorbed.

Goodness - what a trip back through time that was :-)

Dozens of yummy recipes from posters past and present - and some amazing
prose from our own much-missed JEM! Which, as much of it is on the
subject of food, I might include?

Nevertheless, if those who have promised recipes would still send them,
it will add to what will be a most troll-b-licious assortment!

Oh, yes, that would be nice! JEM's writing is always a delight.

Do you think you might include her "frozen bubbles" story - I think
this is my all-time favourite JEM story.

Besides which, anything about bubbles is now automatically on-topic
for RPCA and related enterprises.

Definitely. I will hunt it out of the google archive and save it.
