Title: Sugar Cookies
Categories: Polkadot, Faylen, Cookies
Yield: 1 Servings

3 c Flour
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Baking powder
1 pn Salt
1 c Butter
2 lg Eggs, beaten
1 ts Vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift dry ingredients together. Work
butter into the dry mixture with a pastry cutter until it becomes
coarse grains. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until blended. You can
use an electric mixer at this point, but it’s better if done by hand.
Roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut with cookie cutter.
Space cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes and
cool on racks. Cool completely before frosting.

These are the Christmas cookies that my family’s sworn by for three
generations. You can fool around with them by adding different
extracts – I’ve done well with mint extract and almond extract.

GARBANZO PARSNIP GNOCCHI

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pasta Vegetarian

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/4 tb Olive oil
2 c Coarsely chopped parsnips
3/4 c Finely diced onions
1 tb Minced garlic
1/2 c Garbanzo flour
1/4 c Gluten flour
2 ts Nut yeast
1 t Salt
1/4 ts White pepper
Peanut oil — for frying

Saute vegs in oil until onions are translucent and
parsnips are soft. Process until a smooth paste is
formed. Add all remaining ingredients except peanut
oil and blend until well mixed. Heat oil in a 3″ deep
skillet to 375. Fill the bowl of a tablespoon
w/batter and use a second spoon to scoop it into the
oil. It may help to oil the spoon, but I haven’t had
any problems. Don’t fry more than four at a time
because they get done in less than a minute and if you
leave them longer they’ll burn and the fat content
will skyrocket. Drain and serve.

For the tomato sauce I recomend your basic homemade
tomato sauce w/o any bay leaf but some extra red wine.
Figger it out for yourself. If you can’t make your
own tomato sauce you’ve already read too far;-)

(also from Friendly Foods, serves 4)

CLAY POT SHRIMP WITH BEAN THREAD NOODLES – GO

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Thai Seafood
Pasta

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
8 oz Bean Thread Noodles
2 tb Vegetable Oil
1/4 c Cilantro Pesto (See Recipe)
1 tb Fresh Ginger, Finely Chopped
1 lb Shrimp, Peeled Deveined
1/3 c Coarsely Chopped Green Onion
1/4 c Chicken Stock
2 tb Fish Sauce (Nam Pla)
1 tb Oyster Sauce
1 tb Chinese Rice Wine Or:
Dry Sherry
1 t Dark Soy Sauce
1 t Asian Sesame Oil
1 t Sugar
1/4 ts Salt
Handful Of Cilantro Leaves
—–CILANTRO PESTO—–
1 t Whole White Or Black
Peppercorns
2 tb Coarsely Chopped Fresh
Cilantro Roots Or Leaves
And Stems
2 tb Coarsely Chopped Garlic

CILANTRO PESTO: Using a mortor and pestle or a spice
grinder, crush or grind the peppercorns to a fine
powder. Combine the pepper, cilantro roots and
garlic; work the three inngredients innto a fairly
smooth paste in the mortor or in a small blender or
food processor. If you use a blender or food
processor, you may need to add a little vegetable oil
or water to ease the grinding. Make about 1/4 cup.
For an industrial strength batch use 1 tb peppercorns,
1/2 cup cilantro roots and 1/2 cup garlic. To store
the pesto for later use, put in a glass jar, pour a
little oil onto the surface to cover it and seal
tightly. It will keep nicely for about 1 week in the
refrigerator.

CLAY POT SHRIMP: Place the noodles in a large bowl
and add warm water to cover. Soak the noodles until
they become limp and white, about 15 minutes. Drain
and set aside. You should have about 5 cups softened
noodles. In a large clay pot or flameproof,
heavy-bottomed casserole, heat the oil over medium
heat until hot, about 1 minute. Add the pesto and
stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute, adding a
little more oil if it sticks or burns. Add the ginger
and shrimp and stir-fry for 1 minute. Toss in the
green onion, turning the mixture once more. Transfer
the shrimp
to a plate and set aside while you prepare the noodles
and sauce. In a small bowl, combine the chicken stock,
fish sauce (Nam Pla), oyster sauce, rice wine, soy
sauce, sesame oil, sugar and salt; stir to mix well.
Place the
soaked noodles in the clay pot in which you cooked the
shrimp mixture. Scrape the shrimp mixture over the
noodles and pour in the chicken stock mixture. Toss
the noodles and shrimp a little to combine them with
the sauce, then cover the pot tightly. Place the clay
pot over medium heat and cook until the noodles are
soft and clear and the shrimp is done, about 10
minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro leaves and serve
at once.
