 1 stack Ritz crackers
 Garlic powder or salt (optional)

   1.  Shell medium tails.  Devein shrimp.  Rinse in cold water and
 set aside.  2.  Roll Ritz crackers into fine crumbs.  3.  Melt
 butter/margarine in a 9x9 inch glass baking dish in microwave or on
 a low fire.  4.  When butter/margarine is melted, pour in Ritz and
 mix with a fork until all the liquid is absorbed.  5.  Push the
 crumb mix to one side of dish and lay the shrimp in a single layer
 on half of the dish.  Cover with all the crumbs.  Lay the remainder
 of the shrimp on the other half of the dish and then spread the

Hello,  My 84 year old Mother is looking for a recipe for Boston Drop
Cookies.  She remembers the recipe as being either on a box or in a booklet
for some baking product used in the cookies.  The cookie had a raisin (I
believe a muscat raisin) in the middle.  This would have been in the 1930's
most likely.

Nice site--very enjoyable.  Thanks, Gayalyn

Hello Richard,

No luck with the chili dipping sauce, but there is a peanut sauce in the recipe below.

Phaed

Bang Bang Shrimp & Chicken

Curry Sauce:

2 teaspoons chili oil
1/4 cup minced onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
3 cups coconut milk

2 medium carrots, julienned
1 small zucchini, julienned
1/2 cup frozen peas

Peanut Sauce:

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili oil

2 chicken breast fillets
16 large raw shrimp, shelled
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 cup vegetable oil

4 cups cooked white rice

Garnish:

1-1/2 cups flaked coconut
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
2 green onions, julienned

1. Make the curry sauce by heating the chili oil in a large saucepan over
medium heat. When the oil is hot add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté
for about about 30 seconds then add the chicken broth. Add the spices
(cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and turmeric) and stir well.
Simmer for 5 minutes then add the coconut milk. Bring mixture back up to a
boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until sauce begins to
thicken. Add the julienned carrots and zucchini, and the frozen peas. Simmer
mixture for 10 minutes or until carrots become tender.

2. Make peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, water, sugar, soy sauce,
rice vinegar, lime juice, and chili oil in a small saucepan over medium
heat. Heat just until mixture begins to bubble, then cover the pan and
remove it from the heat.

3. Toast the flaked coconut by preheating your oven to 300 degrees. Spread
coconut on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven. Stir the coconut around
every 10 minutes or so that it browns evenly, but watch it closely in the
last 5 minutes so it doesn't get too dark. After 25 to 30 minutes the
coconut should be light brown. Take it out of the oven and let it cool.

4. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. Coat the chicken and
shrimp with corn starch. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet
over medium heat. Add the coated chicken to the pan and sauté it for a
couple minutes, turning as it cooks. Add the shrimp to the pan. Cook the
shrimp and chicken for a couple minutes, until it's done, then remove
everything to a rack or towel to drain.

5. Build the two plates (or you can divide the meal into four portions) by
filling a soup bowl with 2 cups of white rice. Press down on the rice.
Invert the bowl onto the center of a plate, tap it a bit, then lift off the
bowl leaving a formed pile of rice in the center of each plate. Arrange an
equal portion of chicken and shrimp around the rice. Spoon the curry sauce
and vegetables over the chicken and shrimp, being careful not to get any
sauce on top of the rice.

6. Drizzle peanut sauce over the dish concentrating most of it on the rice.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of crumbled, dried parsley over the center of the
rice. Add a tablespoon of chopped peanuts on the parsley, then place a pile
of julienned green onions on top. Sprinkle 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of toasted
coconut over the chicken and shrimp and serve it up.

Makes 2 large entrees.

Hi Cheryl,

See below.

Paczki

Ingredients:
3 packages active dry yeast
1.5 ounces rum
1/2 cup lukewarm milk
1 cup melted butter
6 cups flour
prune filling or cherry jam (jams w/o added sugar)
1 cup milk, scalded & cooled
oil for deep frying
2 teaspoons salt
powdered sugar for sprinkling
20 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar


 Recipe:
Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk for 5 minutes. Sift the flour into
the scalded milk gradually. Add the yeast mixture, stirring until smooth.
Let rise for 1/2 hour. Beat the salt into the egg yolks; add to flour
mixture, mix well. Add the sugar and rum. Mix well. Knead until the dough no
longer sticks to the sides. Gradually knead in the butter. Place in a
greased bowl, turn to coat and let rise until doubled. Punch down and let
rise again. Cut the dough in half, set one half aside and roll out the
second half about 1/4 inch thick. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter cut as many
rounds as possible. Place a dab of jam or filling on one round, cover jam
with another round and seal edges. Place the filled paczki on greased
sheets, allowing room between each for rising. Repeat the process until all
the dough is used. Let the paczki rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.
Pour the oil into deep fryer or deep pan (about 5 inches). Heat the oil
until it is about 360 to 370 degrees. Deep fry the paczki in oil for about 3
minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides. Dust with powdered
sugar.
