Subject: Lost Four in One Chicken Recipe?
Hi! My mom has been looking for years for a 4 in 1 chicken recipe.
Apparently, the idea was that you could make a bunch of chicken,
and then prep for four meals at once. Here's all the information
I could extract from my mom-
-It had a Chicken Pot Pie recipe, a Chicken Noodle Soup recipe, POSSIBLY
a mexican recipe, and one that we can't remember.
-It came from either Women's Day Magazine, or Family Circle Magazine
most likely Family Circle). The issue was either in 1997 or 1998.
That's really all I could get :( Sorry if it's enough, and thanks for helping!

Hello Ayla,
The only 4 in 1 chicken recipe that I can find is here:

Hello Uncle Phaedrus,
I checked your site this AM (as I do Daily - Love your site) and found that the request
for the 4 in 1 Chicken recipes sounded very familiar. My wife had a subscription to
Working Mother magazine in the 1990's and there was one issue that had make ahead meals
that were based on a large batch of tomato sauce and also chicken. I checked and found
the issue in our cookbook cabinet and I think this is what Ayla was looking for.
The recipes are attached.
Hope this helps!
Keep up the great work you do with your site!!!!
Best Regards,
Tom

Master Recipe for Roast Chicken and Garlic
Use leftover roasted garlic puree to spread on toasted bread or stir into soups or sauces.

Season cavity and outside of chicken with salt and pepper; place breast side down on racks in
2 roasting pans or 1 extra-large roasting pan.
2. Rub garlic heads with oil and place in pan alongside chickens. (if using an extra-large
roasting pan, place garlic in a separate small baking pan.) Roast chickens and garlic 1 hour
and 10 minutes, until juices run clear when thigh is pierced with a fork.
3. When cool, separate garlic into cloves; squeeze pulp out of each clove into a small bowl.
Mash with a fork. Remove meat from chicken and shred; discard skin and bones.

Subject: Pink Rose pastry Shop Banana Cream Pie
Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
I ran across a Pastry Shoppe in Philadelphia around the 4th and Bainbridge area
called The Pink Rose Pastry Shop and Café. They had the best Banana Cream Pie
I have ever had. They are now closed and I would love to try making that pie.
Do you have any info on the recipe? If not that, they also had great lemon squares -
really creamy lemon, they were the best!
Thanks,
Theresa
Hi Theresa,
Sorry, I had no success. Those recipes do not appear to be available.

Subject: Apple Sauce Cake with Dates and Nuts
Dear Uncle Phaed,
I have just discovered your site and am very excited. Have already found
several recipes that I have been looking for.
Have read that someone is looking for an "old" recipe for the above cake.
I have an old recipe book called "The Settlement Cookbook" which
contains such a recipe - hope it is what she is looking for.
I also have a request - as a child we used to buy "buttermilk suckers" in
South Africa, or as they are perhaps known as 'lollipops" in America.
Have looked all over for a recipe but cannot find one. Are you able to help?
With many thanks
Sincerely,
Mikki
Hi Mikki,
The requester was looking for a specific applesauce cake recipe from
the "Household Searchlight" cookbook. I don't know if yours from
"The Settlement Cookbook" would be the same.
I did a search on "buttermilk suckers", but all I found was a couple of mentions
of them, both related to Africa and the UK - no description or ingredients or recipe.
We may not have these in the U.S. under any name. "Lollipops" are a form of hard
candy on a stick. I've never seen any form of lollipop with buttermilk.
See these pages on my site:
Lollipops/hard candy
Lollipops/hard candy
Phaed
My search term was just "buttermilk candy" as "buttermilk boiled sweets" turned up
the South African Kools buttermilk.
Maybe a bit like the caramel where you boil the evaporated milk in the can...
I suppose you could put a stick in it and make lollies.

Hi Ellen,
