1 cup dry chick peas, cooked (about 2 1/2 cups)
3-4 green onions with tops, sliced
1 large carrot, grated or cut in fine matchsticks
3/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 TBS nonfat yogurt (optional, I skip it)
2 TBS unpasteurized cider vinegar
1/4 tsp dried basil (or 1 rounded TBS fresh, minced)

Stir together yogurt, vinegar and basil. Combine with remaining
ingredients, and chill several hours before serving. Goes well with dark
green things, like spinach soup, or broccoli and noodles. Or, stuff into a
pita bread lined with spinach leaves.

Cheap, easy, doubles or triples well, freezes badly, but can be made ahead
and lasts several days in the fridge.

Popcorn:
To get a salt (and I suppose a butter flavor, if you are so inclined)
you can put the popcorn kernels in a jar and add mixed salt water.
Add just enough so that you can coat all the kernels. You can
leave the jar closed for a couple days, or if there is too much moisture,
you can drain out the excess. Then just put the popcorn kernels in your
popper (microwave or hot air) and it will have a salt flavor when popped.

Title: MORT’S FRENCH TOAST W/ CREAM CHEESE *** BGMB9
Categories: Brunch, Breads
Yield: 4 servings

-ELAINE RADIS BGMB90B
8 Bread; challa is best
4 oz Cream cheese
4 Eggs; large
1/2 c Half and half; or milk*
1/3 c Marmelade; or jam of choice

*Sometimes more… Howard made this just last month in
honer of his Dad at JAKE’S in Londonderry, VT. It is
truly ‘baaad’and Mort promised he would eat it only at
the restaruant.

TAke all the ingredients except the bread and put
through the blender or FP. Spray with Pam (at this
point, who cares) or butter a 8″ square pan. Pour a
bit of the batter in the bottom of the pan and put 4
slices down and pour about half the batter over the
bread. Then 4 more slices and the rest of the batter.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for
about 3/4 hour. Pour the batter at least 1 hour before
baking and as much as overnight. Please refigerate.
Howard stuffed the bread with extra chuncks of cream
cheese….but why not fruit like apples or banana
slices???? You could add some brown sugar to the
batter and a dash of vanilla. We didn’t, but served
with VERMONT MAPLE SYRUP. Converted by MMCONV vers.
