Subject: Lost Recipe
I am looking for "Aunt Polly's Rice Bread." This is a recipe from my
childhood my mother used to make. It was in an old cookbook she owned
and when she passed away, my sisters and I were unable to locate the
cookbook or the recipe. I have searched the internet to no avail. It is
a heavy, baked, sweet spoon-type bread - using cooked rice, not rice flour,
as the main ingredient. It would mean a great deal to me and my sisters
if you are able to locate this recipe.
Thank you,
Barbara
Hello Barb,
Sorry, I cannot find any mention of "Aunt Polly's Rice Bread". What was
the name of the cookbook? I did find a couple of rice spoon bread recipes
using cooked rice. However, they are not sweet. See below.

Rice Spoon Bread
1 c. boiled rice
1/4 c. cornmeal
2 c. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
2 beaten eggs
2 tbsp. melted fat or butter
Combine the ingredients in the order given and stir until blended.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 1 1/2 to 2-quart ovenproof
casserole and pour in the batter. You may add crisply cooked pieces
of ham or bacon to the batter before pouring into the casserole.
Bake for about an hour. This is good in place of a starchy vegetable.
Serves 4-6.

Subject: Request for Raisinette Bar Recipe
Hello,
I hope you can help me.
I have searched for years for this recipe. It has become lost over many years
and 5 moves.
It was in a magazine ad (a Raisinette ad) in the early 1980's, during Christmas.
Although I have tried to contact them and requested the recipe on several occasions,
they have not been forthcoming with an answer of any kind.
It was my oldest son's favorite. He's gone now, but it would be good to remember
him with his favorite holiday treat.
I can not remember the correct name but I believe it had Raisinette Bars in the name.
It was a medium brown bar. But was not a brownie.
I only remember a few of the ingredients:
Obviously flour, eggs,
and ginger. I remember ginger being in the recipe. And there were Raisinettes in
the recipe.
It was topped with a white glaze, then crisscrossed diagonally with chocolate glaze,
and a Raisinette was placed at the junction of each of those diagonal lines.
I appreciate any help you can be in my search and thank you very much for your efforts
on my behalf.
Best Regards,
Margaret
Hello Margaret,
Sorry, I cannot find a bar recipe with raisinettes and ginger. I'll post this
on my site - perhaps a reader will have it.

Subject: Amy's Brown Rice and Vegetable Bowl
Hey Uncle Phaedrus,
Love your site! It's fun to browse and see what kinds of things people are seeking.
I've found myself in need of a recipe this time. It's a commercial product, Amy's
Brown Rice and Vegetable Bowl. I'm addicted to this healthy frozen product, and
I'd sure love to make it at home. I wasn't able to find a recipe via Google searches
of both the Web and your site.
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
Jennifer

organic onions, mushrooms, organic broccoli, organic carrots, organic tofu (filtered water,
organic soybeans, nigari [magnesium chloride, a natural firming agent]), organic spinach,
organic celery, organic extra virgin olive oil, spices*, organic sesame tahini,

grain vinegar, expeller pressed high oleic safflower oil, ground mustard seeds,
organic garlic. contains soy and sesame seeds. 100%pure herbs and spices. (no hidden ingredients).
That list is pretty long, but perhaps you can create something similar, but simpler.
For a starting place, the recipe below or the one here might serve:

May take some experimenting. Good luck.

Subject: swiss and steak recipe
this is a recipe from an old fast food place that is now out of business.
it was called Dee's drive inn located in salt lake city, Utah. they were
a local chain and they had a sandwich called Swiss and steak. it was thin
slices of a steak topped with a Swiss cheese sauce. hope that you can find it.
molly
Hi Molly,
I found several mentions of Dee's burgers and a picture of their clown sign,
but I did not find any mention at all of their Swiss and steak sandwich. Sorry.
Phaed
I’ve had similar sandwiches all over the country. Purchase some thinly sliced
(about 1/8 inch) sirloin or rib eye steak and sear quickly in a hot pan; do not
over cook. Butter the hoagie roll halves and place,butter side down, in the hot
pan that the steaks were cooked. Heat the buns, until the butter melts and takes
on a little color and then remove. Fill the hoagies with slices of steak and top
with Swiss cheese sauce.
Timm in Oregon
Swiss Cheese Sauce
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions:
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; whisk in the flour until
smooth and cook while whisking constantly for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in
2 cups of milk; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until mixture is
thickened and bubbly. Over LOW heat add the shredded Swiss cheese, salt and
pepper, stirring until cheese melts. DO NOT let the cheese sauce boil as it
will become grainy.
Note: Chopped, cooked mushroom or chopped, cooked bacon or both can be added
to the sauce for additional flavor.
