Melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly. Mix the chow mein noodles into
chocolate carefully so not to break them into smaller pieces. When the
chocolate is cooled sufficiently to handle, mold this mixture into small
bird shaped nests. Before the mixture has time to harden, place the jelly
beans or small candy easter eggs in the bowl of the nest. They will stay
put when mixture cools. Easy and fun to make.Use your imagination as to

Title: SWEET AND SOUR PORK (TIEM SHUEN GEE YOK)
Categories: Chinese, Pork, Fruits, Vegetables
Yield: 1 servings

1 lb Pork fillet
1 tb Rice Wine
1 tb Soy sauce
1/2 c Cornstarch
1 sm Carrot
1 lg Green pepper
2 sl Canned pineapple
4 Chinese dried mushrooms
1 cl Garlic
1/4 c White vinegar
1/2 c Water
1/8 ts Black pepper
1 tb Soy sauce
1 tb Salt
5 tb Sugar
1 ts Dried chili pepper
1 tb Cornstarch
1 tb Water
Oil for deep frying
2 tb Oil

PREPARATION:

Cut pork into 3/4-inch cubes. Mix the sherry and 1
tablespoon soy sauce together, and add to the pork.
With your fingers rub the mixture into meat. Still
using your fingers, roll the cubes in about 1/2 cup
cornstarch until thoroughly dredged but not too
thickly covered. (The fineness of the end result of
this recipe depends on the meat’s being crisp — never
soggy.) Cut the carrot on the diagonal into 1/4-inch
slices. Cut the green pepper in half; remove seeds and
cut into 1-inch squares. Cut the pineapple slices into
1/2-inch wedges. Wash the Chinese mushrooms and soak
in warm water for 30 minutes. Drain, remove stems.
Cut into 1/2-inch strips. Smash, peel, and mince
garlic. Combine garlic, carrots, green pepper,
pineapple, and mushrooms. Combine vinegar, 1/2 cup
water, black pepper, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, salt,
sugar, and chili pepper. In a cup, mix 1 tablespoon
cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water.

COOKING:

Heat oil in deep fry pan to 375-degrees. Cook pork
cubes a few at a time until very light brown, about 5
minutes. Stir with a chopstick occasionally so that
the cubes do not touch each other. Drain on paper
towels, and keep hot in low oven (200-degrees).
Repeat this process, cooking pork in hot oil until
cubes float and are golden brown — 2 to 3 minutes.
(This double cooking insures that the meat will be
crisp.) Heat the water-vinegar mixture in small
saucepan. In a medium-sized skillet or wok, heat 2
tablespoons of oil at high heat. Add
vegetable-pineapple mixture and stir-fry for 4
minutes. Add the hot water-vinegar mixture to the
vegetables and stir well. Add the cornstarch mixture,
and cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute.
Pour sauce over pork cubes and mix.

White Pizza – Authentic Italian

Recipe By : George Earl – Baltimore, Maryland (georgee560@aol.com)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pizza Italian

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
—- — PIZZA DOUGH ——
4 3/4 Cups white flour
2 Cups warm water — 105 degrees
3 Teaspoons dry yeast
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon olive oil
—- — TOPPING ——
olive oil
coarse Kosher salt (sea salt)
dried rosemary

Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add yeast/water mixture to 3 cups of the
flour. Mix, adding regular salt and olive oil a little at a time. Add
the rest
of the flour bit by bit until the dough “feels right”.

Turn dough onto a floured board and knead; adding more flour if necessary
to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Put the dough in a
greased bowl and rotate to distribute the grease all over the dough. Let
rise until about double in size (approx. 2 hours).

Remove the dough, punch down and roll out on the floured board to a
thickness of 3/8 to 1/2 inch (make it any shape you desire). Put dough in
a pan or cookie sheet. With a pastry brush, paint liberally with
additional olive oil. Use your thumb and 2 fingers to make dimples over
the entire surface. Sprinkle the Kosher sea salt and rosemary over the
surface of the dough. Let rise a little more.

Bake at 375 degrees F for about 25 minutes. When done, paint liberally
again with olive oil.

Makes 1 white pizza.
