Title: Sugar Eggs
Categories: Candies
Yield: 1 servings

Egg-shaped mold
pk Granulated sugar
Water
Food coloring
Icing

1. Mix a little water with the granulated sugar to make it wet enough
to pack. Scoop the wet sugar into each half of plastic egg mold.

2. Stiffly turn filled egg mold upside-down on several layers on paper
towel and remove egg mold.

3. Using a spoon, scoop out a half circle from one side of each sugar
egg, making sure that when the two sides are put together, the
scooped out sections will match. If you want your sugar egg to stand
you will want to cut away the bottom end of the sugar egg. Let dry
overnight or until surface of sugar eggs are hard.

4. When outer side of sugar eggs are hard, turn and scoop out inside
leaving the shell to measure about 1/4″ in thickness.

5. Seam together the two egg halves using cake icing. Decorate around
seam and around hole opening to conceal rough edges. Finish
decorating sugar eggs and fill with your favorite candies.

Optional:

* Color water with food coloring before mixing with sugar.

* Use cake decorating confections for decorating.

* Soak shredded coconut in green food coloring for grass.

Green Chili with Pork

Recipe By : Bryan Caremenati — (1brc8173@tstc.edu)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chili Pork Ham

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon garlic salt
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon cumin
2 4-oz cans sliced jalapenos or choped green chiles
1/2 cup peanut oil
1 beef bouillon cube
1 chicken bouillon cube
3 cups water

In a medium to large pot with a fitted lid, add the oil and chopped
garlic cloves. Turn heat tohigh, and brown the garlic. Trim the pork of
fat, and cut into 3/4 inch cubes. In a large containerwith a tight
fitting lid, add the flour, garlic salt, ground pepper and cumin; stir
to blend well. Add the cubed pork to the flour, place the cover on the
container, and shake like crazy to coat the pork cubes.

Add just the pork cubes to the hot oil and brown (save the flour). Be
careful here, because the floured pork has a tendency to burn and stick
to the bottom of the pot. Stir constantly until the pork is browned,
scraping the bottom each time.

When the pork has browned, add enough of the water to cover the meat,
bouillion cubes, green chillies, and jalapenos. Stir well to mix and
blend evenly. Take the remaining flour and spice mixture that you used
to coat the pork, add enough hot water to make a medium thick paste, and
add to the meat mixture, stirring until it becomes thick. Cover, and
simmer on the lowest possible heat for three hours – stirring
occasionally. Add more water if necessary so it doesn’t get too thick.

This can be used as a stand alone meal, over a beef or bean burrito with
shredded lettuce and tomato, sour cream and avocado; or simply a filling
for a corn tortilla. In any event, I hope you enjoy it.
