Title: TRIFLE
Categories: Desserts, Irish
Yield: 6 servings

1 Sponge cake; leftover
1 c Raspberry Jam
1/4 c Almonds, slivered
1/4 c Brandy:*
3/4 c Sherry
1 1/2 c Milk
1 c Cream, heavy
1 Vanilla pod
1 ts Cornstarch
3 T Sugar
5 Eggs
2 c Cream, heavy; whipped
8 sl Citron; *
6 Strawberries; -OR-
6 Crystallized violets

* Anne’s note; I would use 1 cup sherry and not bother with the brandy

* Citron is larger than a lemon. The fruit is not eaten but the rind
is used as a decoration. Can be found in speciality stores, omit if
you can’t find it.

“Trifle, a favorite Victorian recipe, is the perfect party recipe.
Make it well ahead of time of time, so that the sherry and brandy
have enough time to seep into the cake. The charm of Trifle is its
different textures. Since these also look interesting, Trifle should
be served in a glass bowl so that the effect can be seen to full
advantage. As an alternative serve it in individual glass dishes.”

Cut the cake into very thick slices and spread each piece with a
generous amount of raspberry jam. Arrange the slices on the bottom of
a large glass bowl. If you prefer to use individual dishes, divide
the cake equally among the dishes. Sprinkle the almonds over the cake
slices, pour on the brandy and sherry and allow it it to soak for
about 40 minutes (but not longer as the cake will becomes soggy.
*Anne’s note, I like it soggy, and left the cake to soak overnight.)
Bring the milk and cream with vanilla pod to a boil in a double
boiler. Remove from heat and discard the vanilla pod.

Mix the cornstarch with the sugar and eggs and gradually pour in
the milk and cream. Transfer the mixture back to the double boiler
and stir until the custard becomes thick and creamy; do not allow to
boil.

Let the custard cool a little and then pour it over the cake. Let
the cake set and when it fully cooled, spread any remaining jam on
top, then cover with whipped cream.

Decorate the trifle with citron slices and crystallized violets or
strawberry slices. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Discard the core. Heat about 3 cups of the pork-fat/onion mixture, add about
1/2 teasp. paprika – don’t let it burn. Add the wet, salty cabbage stir

Korean Barbecue – Bulgogi

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beef Barbecue

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 pounds Lean Beef Tenderloin
1/2 cup Light Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Dark Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Water
3 tablespoons Finely Chopped Green Onion
3 teaspoons Crushed Garlic
2 teaspoons Finely Minced Fresh Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Sugar
2 tablespoons White Sesame Seeds — Toasted
And Ground
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil

Bulgogi or Bulgalbi, broiled (grilled) beef strips and beef ribs
respectively, exemplify an age-old tradition of cooking on a curved iron
hotplate – a tradition that is matched in northern China and neighboring
Mongolia as introduced by the Manchurians. Today this has been streamlined
for table service, with specially built cone-shaped hotplates fitted over
tabletop burners, to provide an enjoyable and intimate eating experience.
Meats of all kinds, including mutton, pork and poultry, offal and seafood,
are cooked in this way, being first marinated in a spicy mixture
encompassing the characteristic seasonings: soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic,
ginger, pepper or chili, toasted sesame seeds and green onions. The meat is
marinated well in advance so that the flavor is intense. Cooking time is
minimal – just enough to cook through and seal the surface. Serve Bulgogi
with white rice and yangnyum kanjang sauce, together with a selection of
accompaniments such as kim chee (chili pickled cabbage) and jeot khal
(spiced whitefish). ~——————————————————
cut into narrow strips. In a glass or stainless steel dish mix all
remaining ingredients together. Add the beef and stir thoroughly. Cover and
let marinate for at least 3 hours.

Preheat a tabletop broiler (griller), protecting the tabletop with an
asbestos mat or other suitable heat shield.

Each diner, or the host/hostess, places a portion of meat on the broiler
(griller) and cooks it quickly on both sides. The meat is dipped into the
sauce before eating. Use wooden chopsticks or small forks/fondue forks.

3 medium tomatoes
2 med-large Green Peppers
1/2 cup chopped chives

1 tsp each of oregeon, thyme and basil
Fresh ground pepper, vary to taste

Cook the lasagna according to package. Mix the whole container of cottage
cheese with the bread crumbs, chives, egg-substitute, herbs and spices (except
paprika!). Take a large baking dish and coat bottom with a thin layer of
tomatoe sauce. Then a layer of lasagna. On top of this spread a layer of the
cottage cheese mixture. ON thop of this a layer of chopped peppers and onions.
Then slice tomatoes in whole circular slices and place a layer on top of the
other ingrediants. Then a layer of tomatoe sauce. Repeat one more time.
On the top add the mozzerella, if desired, and sprinkle that with about
1/2 tsp of paprika. Bake at roughly 350-375 for about 45 minutes. I have made
