    Open a bag of frozen hash browns. Prepare the amount you need and while
    they are browning, dice and sauté a little fresh onion in a bit of olive
    oil and a dab of butter until onions are limp. OR Micro WARM a small jar
    of Cheez Whiz per label directions. OR dice up some boiled ham. OR warm up
    a can of Campbell’s Chili Beef Soup, diluted just to spooning consistency
    with a little V-8 juice. OR dice up some fresh tomato. OR for extra
    crispy, pat down with back of spatula in extra oil or butter until browned
    to your liking. OR for “steamed”, add a few spoons of water just around
    edge of browning potatoes and put a lid on them to let them “steam” a few
    minutes until soft. Source: Gloria Pitzer’s Newsletter.

    Jalapeno Joney Ale

    Recipe

    Title: Jalapeno Joney Ale
    Categories: Beverages, Alcohol
    Yield: 3 gallons

    3 1/2 lb Plain light
    Dried malt extract
    2 1/2 lb Clover honey
    1 1/2 oz Cascade Hops
    (boiling)
    1/2 oz Cascade Hops
    ( finishing)
    8 Jalapenos,
    Split lengthwise
    1 Or 2 pk yeast
    3/4 c Corn sugar
    3 g Water

    Add the malt extract, honey, jalapenos and boiling hops to 3 gallons
    of water and bring to a boil. As it reaches a boil and the odor of the
    jalapenos begins to become obvious, filter out the jalapenos. Boil
    for 60 minutes, add the finishing hops in the final 10 minutes.
    Sparge into the fermenter, charge with the yeast when cool. Add the
    corn sugar and bottle after ageing for 2 weeks. (this was a little
    mild, if doing this again, I’d let the jalapenos steep a little bit
    longer). WALT Curt Snyder

    2. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar, beating until soft peaks form when
    beaters are raised. Add hot milk mixture. Place over hot water (water in
    the lower part of the double boiler should not touch the upper part). Cook,
    stirring until coating forms on metal spoon about 10 to 15 minutes.

    3. Pour into a bowl; place a sheet of waxed paper on the surface.
    Refrigerate 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350F. Trim crusts from the bread and

    buttered 2 quart 8 inch square baking dish. Overlap bread slices on top.

    constantly. Add vanilla, mixing well. Pour custard over bread and cherries
    mixture in baking dish. Set baking dish very carefully in a large shallow
    pan on the lower rack of the oven. Carefully pour hot water to 1 inch

    rack to cool. To serve, spoon sauce over individual servings Makes 8
    servings.
