Jean B’s Strawberry-Rhubarb Muffins (11-12)

These started their lives as strawberry muffins, but last summer (1997)
after many iterations in search of perfection, they turned into my favorite
flavor combo! I consider them my own creation, since the ingredients and
method have been altered–in some cases, drastically.

1 ½ c finely chopped strawberries (ca ¼-1/3")
½ c chopped rhubarb
¾ c sugar
1 c white flour
¾ c whole wheat flour
3-4 Tbsp wheat germ
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
¼ c light olive oil
1 tsp vanilla

Combine strawberries, rhubarb, and ½ c sugar, and let stand 1 hour. Heat
oven to 425F. Combine remaining ¼ c sugar, flours, wheat germ, baking soda,
nutmeg and salt. Beat eggs with oil and add vanilla and strawberry-rhubarb
mixture. Spoon into 11-12 greased muffin cups (I like them really full).
Bake ca 20 minutes or til pick comes out clean. Serve warm. Jean B. via TNT.

Title: CHOCOLATE DIPPED HOKEY POKEY COOKIES * PART 1
Categories: Cookies, Chocolate
Yield: 8 servings

—————————KAREN PHILLIPS CBTX40A—————————
1/2 c Sliced almonds
1/4 t Salt
1/4 c Granulated sugar
1/4 t Pure almond extract
2 T All-purpose flour
3 oz Semi-sweet chocolate;
-chopped into 1/4″ pcs
1 Egg white
1 t Unsalted butter; melted

EQUIPMENT: Measuring cup, measuring spoons, small
nonstick saute pan, baking sheet, stainless steel
bowl, rubber spatula, parchment paper, cake spatula,
pizza cutter, double boiler, instant-read test
thermometer.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Toast the almonds on
a baking sheet in a preheated oven until golden brown,
about 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool.
Do not turn off the oven.

Combine the sugar, flour, egg white, butter, salt, and
almond extract in a stainless steel bowl. Stir the
mixture until smooth. Gently fold in the almonds until
coated with the batter. Hold the batter at room
temperature for 20 minutes before using, stirring
occasionally. This is done in order to dissolve the
sugar. If this step is bypassed, the cookies will not
have the desired taste and texture.

Trace 2 6-inch circles onto a piece of parchment
paper (cut to fit a baking sheet). Place the parchment
paper, trace marks down, on a baking sheet. Evenly
divide the batter between the circles.
