Soak the porcini mushrooms in 1/2 cup of warm water
for about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid.
Rinse, dry, and chop the porcini mushrooms. Strain the
soaking liquid through washed cheesecloth, paper
towels, or a coffee filter. Set aside.

Melt the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a
large pot over low heat. Add the onion and garlic.
Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is wilted
but not browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the porcini mushrooms and cook for 8 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium and add the fresh
mushrooms. Cook until the juices run, about 10
minutes. Add the reserved porcini soaking liquid and
continue to cook until reduced by half, about 5
minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, marjoram,
and thyme; cook for 5 minutes. Add the broth and
simmer for 15 minutes.

While the soup is cooking, toast the bread in a 400 F
oven until lightly browned on both sides. Remove and
brush one side with the remaining olive oil. Use more
oil if necessary.

In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks with the Parmesan
chese, the pecorino romano cheese, and 3 tablespoons
of chopped parsley. Gradually whisk 1 cup of the hot
soup into the egg yolks to warm them. Reverse and
slowly whisk the egg yolk mixture into the soup.
Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until
the soup thickens. (Do not boil or the soup will
curdle.)

Place a piece of toast in each of 8 bowls. Ladle in
the hot soup and sprinkle with additonal grated
Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Serves 8.

Title: ORANGE JULIUS TYPE DRINK
Categories: Beverages, Non-alcohol
Yield: 4 servings

1/2 c Sugar
1 c Milk
1 1/2 c Orange Juice
1 c Cold Water
1 c Finely Crushed Ice

Add all these ingredients in a 48oz blender, adjust Quantities for
individual taste. Blend on Highest Speed for around 5 to 10 seconds
and pour. To achieve a closer taste to the real thing use Carbonated
Water but regular tap water will due. You can also substitute
Strawberries or pineapple for the Orange Juice or mix flavors. I have
adjusted the recipe by taking 1/4th the ingredients and use one of
the New hand held blenders to mix a single serving in a cup.

Be sure when you do this you don’t fill the cup too full or you’ll
have a mess.

Angel Biscuits (for freezer)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Freezer Meals Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold butter — *
1 cup buttermilk — * see note

Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set it aside. Put all the other dry ingre
dients, in the order that they are listed, in a bowl and mix. Then cut the but
ter into the mixture as you would for pie dough.

Pour the buttermilk and the yeast mixture in the bowl with the other ingredient
s, blending well but not overbeating.

Refridgerate until needed, then warm to room temperature to allow it to rise.

When you are ready, gently roll out the dough on a lightly floured board and cu
t, using a biscuit cutter or a small glass to cut our biscuits. Put them on a
greased pan and let them rise a bit (10 to 15 minutes) before popping them in a
n oven heated to 400ø for 12 to 15 minutes.

*For buttermilk I always substitute: 1 tablespoon of vinegar into a cup of ordi
nary milk and bring to room temp in the microwave. Works great!

*The original recipe calls for shortening but I don’t use it.
