I'm glad they got to experience your delicious southern cooking Hans. I've heard about your wonderful meals. I wish I could have met them while they were here.

collection

I personally think that Hans has one of the most unique collection of incredibly rare vacuum cleaners. I have yet to witness his other collections, but I have no doubt that it is no less than breathtaking!

**burp**

We had a fabulous time! It's true; we are in NC for a few days, and really wish we had time to visit everyone in the area.

Here are some pictures of the food! I don't remember what everything was -- except it was all delicious. And not a SINGLE calorie in anything!

Meatloaf...

This is a Betty Feezor recipe,Betty was on WBTV Charlotte from 1953 until she became ill with cancer in 1977,When I was a kid,you were QUIET!!! from 1pm till 1.30,I have all her cookbooks, and am still convinced that NONE of the new food network stars are anywhere as good for plain old food!
Meatloaf-1-1/2 pounds ground beef,1-1/2 cups.dry breadcrumbs,1/2 cup chopped onion,2 tsp salt,usually I use just 1,1 med bay leaf,crushed,dash thyme,2 eggs,1-8 oz can hunts tomato sauce,put all except meat and bread crumbs in blender,blend well,add to meat and bread crumbs,mix well,place in pan,top with catsup, bake 350 for 1-1/2 hrs, She said to add 2TBSP green pepper, but as that is a bad heartburn to me...I omit!

Pineapple casserole

Drain 2 20 oz cans of pineapple chunks,add 6 TBSP plain flour,1 cup brown sugar, 1-8 oz pkg of grated sharp cheddar cheese,mix well, place in 2-qt dish,crush 1-cup Ritz crackers, place on top,drizzle with 1- stick melted butter,bake 30 min at 350

And for those of you!!!

Who say How do you "FRY" apples, well you dont really,but this is how my Grandmother did it, so do I,in the South Stewed apples are cooked in a pot and have liquid left in them,Here is how we fry them...
Peel core and cut up a bag of apples, usually 3 pounds,I use Granny Smith,placing in lemon water so they dont turn brown,when you get them all peeled, place in large skillet,add 1 stick butter,1 cup sugar,cover,turn to med heat,when steaming,turn to low,cook about an hour or so,toward the end,remove cover and increase heat,WATCH CLOSELY they burn easy,start gently stirring till most of the liquid is gone and they begin to stick slightly,this is important,if you dont get them almost dry you dont have real fried apples,and it does make them tase better,but at the last,dont leave them for a second cause they will burn!!

4-way appetizing! gosh!

Goodness, pictures say more than words, that's for sure.
Gorgeous people (fist yummy), a nice and inviting atmosphere (second), great machines (even the original E-Lux straps around that woven hose, I am desperately seeking those) and above all: The food pics!
Holy mother, I will go and disassemble my fridge now, drooling! (hungry!)
What are the recipies?
Joe


Post# 451823 , Reply# 36   7/25/2010 at 16:03 (5,021 days old) by Whirlpolf ()        
ok, I could read 2 of them

but I came across "southern biscuits with sausage gravy" in the other thread. Looked awful on some youtube videos, but I gave it a try. WOW! What a feast! One of my favorites now. ;-)

You Americans cook so much differently from what I am used to, want to learn more! Great stuff! (The gravy thing is on my regular food list now).
Any recipies swappers around? Sounds fun to me anyhow.
Thanks!
Joe

Deep Well

The drop in pan,is called a deep well cooker,these were very popular up thru the 1950s in American made electric ranges,it is something like a combination slow cooker,deep fryer,it was advertised as a money saver,because it was supposed to use less energy.Most people used it for soup,baked beans ETC. This one has a dual purpose unit that can be raised up to the top and used as an ordinary surface unit.

there is a taping of the Betty Fezor show on youtube. I watched it this evening -- I vaguely remembered her since I was born in 74 and remember my mother and grandmother talking about her. I have lots of memories from the Barbara Stutts era. In the show Betty give the recipe for her Peanut Butter Pudding. I took it down and am going to give it a try sometime.

Betty Feezor!

All the recipes I have ever used that she published are good,The meatloaf is my favorite,If im in doubt, I always go to her cookbooks,She was a Home Economist..not a Chef,therefore her recipes are much easier to follow,and usually there are no hard to get ingredients,..

Fred, the red on red would win a prize, or as Robert would say,"simply delicious."

Hans, those dishes of goodies and the recipes have me drolling and I can hear the food police sirens going off all over the world--a stick of butter in every dish. I love it.

Such decadence and daring.

Whose nice face is that, almost, in the first picture.

Robert, I said we'd miss you in Imperial when said you were taking a trip, but you guys stopped in way. How nice.


What a happy thread, a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
