Subject: Scallop Dynamite
Hi,
I recently tried a dish at a few Japanese Restaurants in the area of
Los Angeles, Ca. I am desperately trying to locate a recipe to make
it at home for my family. It is called on their menu as Scallop Dynamite,
I know it has some sort of mayonaise sauce to it (possibly called: Kewpie).
Can you help me locate this, I would be forever greatful.
Sincerely,
Marie
Hi Marie,
I almost gave up on this one, but I decided to try one more place, and I found the two recipes below. They sound great!

I am looking for a recipe for Black Forest Cake.
I recently saw Emeril prepare one that looked delicious, but I can't
find his recipe. The show was probably an old re-run or something
that had been removed from their files.
Can you help?
Hi MJ,
The first one below is from Emeril's cookbook. I am also sending more recipes that I have for this tasty cake,
starting with easy ones and getting progressively more complicated.

Classic Black Forest Cake
Recipe from Every Day Is A Party, by Emeril Lagasse,
with Marcelle Bienvenu and Felicia Willett, published
by William Morrow, 1999
For the Cake:
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 large eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the filling:
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 1/4 cups kirsch
2 (15-ounce) cans dark sweet pitted cherries in heavy syrup
2 tablespoons cornstarch
For the Frosting and Garnish:
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 stick butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons sugar
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, shaved
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small saucepan,
warm the milk and 2 teaspoons of the butter together over
medium-low heat. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire
whip, beat the eggs and 1 cup of the sugar on medium-high
speed in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is pale yellow,
thick, and tripled in volume, about 8 minutes. With the mixer
on low speed, beat in the warm milk mixture. Sift the flour,
cocoa, baking powder, and salt into a small mixing bowl. Add
half the flour mixture to the egg mixture and blend thoroughly
until smooth. Repeat with the other half. Add the vanilla and
mix gently. Grease 2 8" round pans with the remaining 2 tablespoons
butter. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
Pour the cake batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake until
the cake springs back when touched, about 15 minutes. Cool for a
bout 2 minutes, then gently flip it out onto a large sheet of
parchment paper. Let cool completely.
For the filling: Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan
over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar,
and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Stir in 1 cup of the kirsch and stir to mix. In another saucepan over
medium heat, bring the cherries to a boil in their syrup. In a small
bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 cup kirsch and add
to the cherry mixture. Whisk until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and cool completely.
Assemble the cake: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut each cake
horizontally in half to make 4 layers. Brush the tops of all the
layers with equal amounts of the sugar syrup. Let the liquid soak
into the layers for about 30 minutes. Place the bottom layer on a
large cake plate. Spread 1 cup of the filling evenly over this layer,
then top with a second layer of cake. Spread 1 cup of the filling evenly
over it. Repeat the same process with the third layer and another cup of
the filling. Top with the fourth layer. To Finish: Sift together the
confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder into a medium size bowl. Add the
butter and mix with an electric mixer until incorporated. Add 1 teaspoon
of the vanilla and the boiling water and mix until smooth. Let cool.
Combine the cream, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and the sugar in
a medium-size mixing bowl and, using an electric mixer, whip until soft
peaks form. Ice the sides and top of the cake evenly with the chocolate
frosting. Spoon the whipped cream over the top of the cake and sprinkle
with the chocolate shavings. Slice and serve the cake.

Hi Suzanne,
Sorry, I searched everywhere, and could find nothing listed that way. I'm sending you the only recipe that
I could find that had potatoes, cheese, and jalapenos. I'm sure it's not what you want, but it sounded tasty,
so here it is.

Subject: Ground Veal
I took one pound of ground veal and divided it in half.I put 1/2 lb.in a
zip lock freezer bag pushing all air out before freezing.
I did this on 8-31-00. Do you think it is still safe to use. What would
you think the time frame on beef and pork frozen this same way would be?
Sincerely,
Guy
Hello Guy,
All my sources say that ground meats of any kind begin to deteriorate after being frozen for 3 months.
After that, they may be safe to eat, but their taste and quality is adversely affected. Solid meats,
on the other hand, can be frozen for up to six months without deterioration. The reason for the difference
is that the grinding process exposes more of the meat to air.
Bottom line? I'd be safe and chunk the veal.
