8 whole cloves of garlic — peeled
2 cups distilled vinegar
2 tablespoons black pepper

FOR THE CHILI:

2 tablespoons dried shrimp
2 tablespoons black pepper

12 ounces cheap American beer

This is hardly a traditional (Texas) recipe for chili, but it turned out
pretty good.

First, make the pot likker. Wash and soak the collard greens, remove the
leaves from the stems, and put into a large pot. Add water, vinegar,
tabasco peppers, garlic cloves, onion, smoked pork jowl, and black pepper.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for six to eight hours. Remove and
reserve collards for another meal; strain pot likker and reserve.

Now, add pinto beans and bay leaves to the pot likker, bring to a boil, and
simmer until beans are semi-soft. Cut smoked chuck roast into bite-sized
chunks and add to the pot. Fry up hamburger, drain fat, chop, and add to
the pot. In a small frying pan roast the cumin and mustard seeds, crush in
a mortar and pestle, and add to the chili. Add all other ingredients, bring
to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occassionally.
Remove from heat, and serve.

NO-FAIL BAGELS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 16 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Packets active dry yeast
1/2 c Warm water (105-115f)
2 ts Sugar
2 c Lukewarm water
2 1/2 ts Salt
6 c Bread flour
1/2 c Yellow cornmeal

Place yeast in glass with 1/2 cup warm water. Stir in
sugar until yeast is disolved. Let stand for 5
minutes, until foamy on top. Pour this mixture into a
bowl and add 2 cups lukewarm water. Stir in salt. Add
the 5 1/2 cups flour a cup at a time, mixing with a
wooden spoon to blend after each addition. Dough will
be sticky.

Spread 1/4 cup of the remaining flour on a work
surface. Place dough on flour. Place 1/4 cup flour
on top of the dough.

Begin kneading slowly until the flour comes together
with the rest of the dough. Knead vigorously for 15
minutes. You may have to add several tablespoons of
flour if the mixture is sticky.

Use a sharp knife dipped in flour cut the dough into
16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Poke your thumbs through the center to make a hole
about the size of a quarter.

Spread 1/4 cup cornmeal on each of two trays or
cutting boards and place 8 formed bagels on each about
1 inch apart. Cover with a clean dish towel and place
in a warm draft free spot for 45 minutes to rise.

Remove towel and place trays of bagels in the
refrigerator for 1 hour.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Boil 3 cups water in a
large pot. Spread 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal on 2 cookie
sheets.

Place bagels four at a time into the boiling water.
The perfect bagel should sink to the bottom and rise
immediatly. Boil about 4 minutes turning about every
30 seconds. Don’t worry if your bagels don’t sink to
the bottom; however if they sink to the bottom and lie
there, wait until they flost to the top before timing
the 4 minutes.

Remove bagels with a slotted spoon and place on a
clean towel for a few seconds to drain excess water.
Place 8 bagels on each cookie sheet.

You can now add a favorite topping sesame, garlic or
onion if desired. Bake 35 minutes or until golden.
Remove bagels from cookie sheet and let them cool on a
wire rack. From: Gary Fricke
