Subject: rice pudding, etc....
First issue: I read James Michner's book "The Novel" and in the
first chapter, if I recall correctly, he describes an old Pennsylvania
Deutsche recipe for a baked rice pudding used in Lancaster Co., PA
It still sounds marvelous to think about....the pudding is baked for
hours and is stirred at 15 minute intervals during the last half of
the baking time, in order to develop a ribbon of caramel throughout
the pudding
I have searched the web and can't find quite the same recipe as described
in the book...can you help me.
Thank you kindly,
--- Linda
Hello Linda,
Of course, the "Pennsylvania Dutch" are really of German descent. I found
a review of Michener's "The Novel" wherein it was stated that Michener said
that to insure the accuracy of the Pennsylvania Dutch culture in his book,
he visited a Pennsylvania Dutch home in which he was fed a German rice
pudding. So, I searched everywhere for a Pennsylvania Dutch or a German
baked rice pudding recipe in which the pudding was stirred in the last half
of baking.
I had no luck at all. All of the Pennsylvania Dutch and the German baked
rice pudding recipes that I found, both on the Internet and off, were just
like all the other baked rice pudding recipes, in that they were all stirred
a lot in the first hour of cooking to keep the rice from sinking to the bottom.
None were stirred during the last part of cooking and none mentioned a ribbon
of caramel through the pudding. The recipe below is the very closest that I
could find.

Baked Rice Pudding
4 cup Milk
1/2 cup Short (or Long) Grain Rice
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Nutmeg (or Cinnamon)
2/3 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Raisins (optional)
In a casserole dish, or a large bowl, add rice, salt, nutmeg, and sugar
to the milk. Preheat oven to 300 degrees celcius. Bake for one hour and
then remove and stir in raisins. Return to oven to bake for two more hours.
Allow to cool. Raisins can be omitted, but mixture still needs to be stirred
once after first hour. Cinnamon can replace nutmeg which produces a tasty
sweet scab of a crust on top of the pudding.

Hi! I am looking for a recipe for Yeast Dove Rolls. I think it was in
sunset magazine 10 years ago or more.
The rolls are twisted in a knot to resemble a dove. The beak is an almond
and currents are the eyes.
Thank you
Becky
Hi Becky,
See below.

Holiday Dove Rolls Recipe
4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
1 package rapid rise yeast
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup reduced fat margarine
3/4 cup egg substitute
12 almonds
24 raisins
Combine 3 3/4 cups of the flour, sugar, salt, lemon peel and yeast.
Heat water, milk and butter until hot to touch and stir into dry mixture.
Beat in 1/2-cup egg substitute and enough of the remaining flour to make
soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes or until
smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll one piece into a 10-inch rope that is
slightly thicker on each end. Tie a knot in the center of the rope to
form the dove's body. Flatten the lower end to form the dove's tail and
make 2 cuts in it with a sharp knife to resemble feathers. Shape the other
end into a round shape for the dove's head. Repeat with remaining pieces
of dough. Make a small cut in the front of each head and insert the wide
end of the almond to form a beak. Make two additional cuts on the sides
of the head and insert raisins to form eyes.
Place completed doves on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray
and let rise until doubled or about 45 minutes. Lightly beat the remaining
1/4-cup egg substitute and brush on rolls. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30
minutes or until done. Remove from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
Makes 12 Servings
Serving Size: 1 roll

Subject: Sinatra Song
Hi: I am interest to know where I can find the music for Noa's Ark,
a song that Sinatra had record long time ago and does not matter
where I look I can not find the music. Thank You Dielma.
Hello Dielma,
I'd like to help, but I'm not having much luck finding the sheet music.
You do want the sheet music? Arranged for.... what - piano?
That song's correct name is just "Noah". It was also called "Walk With the Lion." It was written by Joe Raposo
and recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1973. Joe Raposo is the same guy who wrote music for "Sesame Street" and for
"the Muppet Show". (It's Not Easy Bein' Green) I could not find the music for "Noah" on the Internet.
You might try going to a music store and looking in their sheet music catalog. Ask them to order the song "Noah"
by Joe Raposo for you. The lyrics are below.
Phaed
NOAH (Walk With the Lion)
(Written by Joe Raposo)
Recorded by Frank Sinatra
- (From the album: Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back
Originally released: October, 1973)
The world's a tiny blue-green ark
Afloat in darkest space.
And every creature lives his time
And knows his special place
And each of us is Noah
With a life all in our care
To keep against the darkness
That's flooding everywhere
We've got to walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace.
The times have made us fearful
And our fears have brought the tears
The loneliness and darkness
Have grown bitter with the years
But a light is just beyond us
and the children almost see
A world that we've forgotten
And the world they want to be
When we walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace.
The ark is getting crowded now
And each of us must know
When everything is finished here
There's no where else to go.
The beasts are here to bless us
And the faith is in their eyes
That we can find the garden
And see that sweet dawn rise
And we can walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
and live in love and peace.
We've got to walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace.
