Subject: Recipe Request: Line Dance Chili
Thank you for all your wonderful recipes!
I appreciate your hard work and your time.
I'm looking for Line Dance Chili from a Marlboro Cookbook
not sure if that's 1 or 2 words (Linedance?)
I sure can't find it, but did find Marlboro books on Amazon,
just don't know which one.
Do you have any idea???
My friend lost his book and I lost my copy. :-(
THANK YOU!
Marilyn
Hi Marilyn,
The "Line Dancer Chili" recipe is in at least two of the Marlboro Country cookbooks:
"Morning Fires, Evening Lights" and "Fifty from the Trail". The recipe is below.

Subject: OLD BROWNIE RECIPE
I found a brownie recipe in the Riverside CA Press Enterprise newspaper in 1960 for
3-layered brownies. The middle layer was white or orange (similar to thick frosting)
and the top layer was a mildly bitter chocolate. I had the recipe for several yrs but
can no longer find it. I could probably devise the recipe myself, but thought I'd try
you first. Can you help?
Thanks,
Donna
Hello Donna,
Sorry, I cannot find such a recipe from the Press-Enterprise. See below for what I did find.
Phaed
Three Layer Brownies
First Layer:
1/2 c. melted butter
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla
Dash of salt
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. chopped nuts
Add chocolate to butter and melt. Add egg to sugar and beat. Stir in vanilla.
Add to chocolate mixture. Add salt. Fold in flour, nuts. Spread in 9-inch
greased pan. Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool.
Second Layer:
1/2 c. butter
3 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. pkg. vanilla pudding
2 c. powdered sugar
Cream butter until fluffy. Mix milk and pudding. Add to butter. Mix well,
gradually adding powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Spread over first layer.
Chill 20 minutes.
THIRD LAYER:
1 1/2 tbsp. butter
1 (4 oz.) bar German sweet chocolate
Melt butter and chocolate. Spread over second layer. Chill 20 minutes.
Keep refrigerated until serving.
The search engine registry shows that someone searched for this:
Crisp Schoolgirl Pickles
12 lb. cucumbers
14 tsp. alum
1 gallon apple cider vinegar
8 lb. sugar
1 sm. box pickling spice
4 c. salt (un-iodized) to each gallon water
In a crock, make a brine of salt and water strong enough to float an egg
in the shell. Stir until the salt is dissolved and put the washed, whole
cucumbers in the crock for 14 days. Drain the cucumbers and rinse the crock.
Do not rinse the cucumbers. Soak them overnight in the crock. Rinse in clear
water and cut into slices the next morning. Soak again for 6 hours in alum
water, enough to cover cucumbers. After 6 hours, remove the cucumbers from
the crock and rinse crock again and then place the cucumbers back in the crock.
Heat the gallon of vinegar to scalding point and pour over cucumbers, let stand
for 24 hours. Pour vinegar off and empty crock again. Layer the cucumbers with
sugar and spices alternately until all are used. Let stand for 1 week before
packing in jars. Do not have to be sealed. Can be left in crock.

Good Morning,
Although this little restaurant is not listed in the telephone directory
anymore, my husband raves about their chili sauce.
Is there a way to find the recipe? I'd love to surprise him with it.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Lauretta

Sorry Phaed, but I found the recipe on line; I should have looked there
first before haunting you. Here it is if you are interested:
Recipe Hot Dog Sauce from The Hot Dog Shop
Ingredients:
3 lbs. ground meat
1-1/2 cup diced onion
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. chili powder
1-1/2 tbsp. paprika
1/2-tbsp. ground cloves
1 tbsp. nutmeg
1 tbsp. black pepper
1-1/2 tbsp. sugar
14 oz. ketchup
6 cups water
1 cup flour mixed with 1 cup water (mix - not so lumpy)
Directions:
Brown and chop the ground meat in a 4 qt. pan. Drain off excess grease.
Add each of the spices, one at a time, and stir after each one. After all
the spices are in the mixture, it should be a pastry consistency. Add the
ketchup; stir in the water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Keep the
heat low and simmer for 2 hours. Add the flour and water mixture. This
mixture will blend easily if you mix in your blender before adding to the
rest of the sauce. The excess sauce may be frozen.
Yield: 1 Gallon
This sauce is from the famous Hot Dog Shop in Butler, PA
(which is now closed...darn!)
