Subject: key lime pie made with condensed milk

Hi Nazz,
Key Lime Pie is one of the few desserts that I truly enjoy. However, all key
lime pie is not created equal. Some are really delicious, but some are
little more than a lemon meringue pie made with lime juice instead of lemon juice.
You see, a real key lime pie is made with Key Lime Juice, not ordinary lime juice.
Ordinary lime juice comes from those little green Tahitian limes. Key Lime Juice
used to be rather rare, but today it's available in bottles in the juice section of
most large supermarkets. Real Key Limes are very tart and are grown in southern
Florida and Mexico. Their juice is more yellow than green, so sometimes a few drops
of green food coloring are added to the pie filling to make it greener. Key lime
pies come with either a regular crust or a graham cracker crumb crust. I prefer
the regular crust, but the graham cracker one is popular, too. They may have a
meringue topping, a whipped cream topping, or no topping. Below are recipes of
several types. Personally, I prefer a Key Lime pie made with Key Lime Juice,
condensed milk, a pastry pie shell, and a meringue topping. But each to his or
her own tastes...

Subject: Italian cookie recipe
Hi, my name is Beth, when I was growing up my Italian grandmother used to
make "bowtie cookies" for Christmas, she is now suffering from alzheimers in
a nursing home, and could not tell me the recipe if she wanted to, she never
had a cookbook, always did everything by memory. I would love to make these
for the holiday this year, but dont know how, if you could help, I would be
eternally greatful. The only thing I know for sure, is that the sauce on the
cookies is made from raisins. Thank you very much.

However, I could not find any recipes with the raisin sauce.

Hi Alice,
John Mariani, in his "Dictionary of Italian Food and Drink", has this to
say about Molise:
"It's historic and political connection to Abruzzo ended when Molise became
an independent region in 1963, but it still shares many of the same culinary
traditions of Abruzzo, with more of a nod to the south. There is also a
significant Albanian-speaking population, which increased after the fall of
communism. The food of Molise is uncomplicated, rich in vegetables and pork,
spiced with chile peppers, a nd sauced with tomatoes. There are, however,
few dishes unique to Molise. P'lenta d'iragn, a white "polenta" made with
potatoes and wheat and served with a tomato sauce, is one of the more
unusual dishes. Calconi di ricotta rustica are ravioli stuffed with ricotta,
provolone, and proscuitto, then fried in oil.
The cheeses of Molise include scamorza, mateca, and burrino."
I am sending you some Molise recipes below. The first two are the only dolci
that I could find listed as coming from Molise. They are in Italian, but I'm
sure you can translate.

Amalgamate la meringa preparata con la purea di frutti di bosco rimasta,
unite la panna montata con un paio di fruste elettriche, mescolate con cura
per evitare di smontare il composto e versatelo nello stampo sopra la purea
di frutta rappresa.
Mettete la bavarese in frigo per almeno 4-5 ore.
Dopodiché controllate che la bavarese sia ben rappresa, capovolgete lo
stampo sul piatto da portata, aprite il bordo, sfilatelo con delicatezza,

blotting paper and put them in a dish ; season them with some salt .

-----------------------------------------------------
Capellini with Bread Crumbs
2/3 cups olive oil
2 cups of unseasoned bread crumbs
1/8-1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup pecorino/romano cheese
1 cup raisins (muscat, if available) soaked 1/2 hour
6-8 cloves of garlic
1 2 ounce tin of anchovies
1 pound capellini
Gently heat finely chopped (skinned) garlic in the olive oil until it
softens and turns slightly golden. Be careful not to brown or burn the
garlic. If the garlic browns or burns, start over. When golden, remove the
pan from the heat and set aside.
Combine and mix the bread crumbs, cheese, and pepper in a large bowl. Drain
and mash the anchovies into a paste and add to the other ingredients. Add
the raisins. Mix well.
Place the pan with the olive oil and garlic over low heat and add all the
mixed ingredients. Stir and mix the bread crumb mixture with the olive oil
and garlic. Gently warm the mixture stirring frequently to a golden
appearance (about 15 minutes)...stir and turn over the mixture from the
bottom up to prevent browning.
While you are warming the bread crumbs, start your capellini water boiling.
When the bread crumbs are done, cook the pasta until it is al dente. Remove
the pasta from the heat. Using a pasta fork, quickly begin removing pasta
from the pot layering a 1/4 of a pound into a casseole or lasagna dish. Best
in a dish 9 to 10 inches long, 5 to 6 inches wide with sides about 4 inches
high. The pasta can retain water as you transfer it from the pot to the
dish. Sprinkle on 1/4 of the bread crumb mixture. Sprinkle the mixture with
1/4 cup pasta water. Add two more layers of pasta, bread crumbs and water.
The final layer is pasta and bread crumbs with no extra water.
-------------------------
Bruscetta
Bruscetta is basically Italian salsa. Instead of serving with chips, you
serve with fresh italian bread and/or on toasted garlic bread. The recipe
varies a great deal, some say use fresh French bread, other say it toasts
better after a day or two. In any case, slice the bread legnthwise, then
quarter it wide so you end up with 8 halves of bread ready for toasting.
Ingredients
1 Clove Garlic Chopped Fine
3 Scallion Strands (Green Onion) Sliced Fine
1/4 White Onion Diced
Oregano to taste
4 Fresh Basil Leaves, chopped fine
2 Plum or regular Tomatoes
After the bread is toasted until it is brown, drizzle with extra virgin
olive oil and top with the finely chopped garlic, diced scallion, diced plum
tomatoes and basil mixture that has been sitting in olive oil -- enjoy
