Hello Robert,
There’s a basic granola recipe here:

And several others here:

My British friend Valerie has some British pudding recipes that have been
adapted for the microwave, eliminating the need for a pudding basin or pudding bag.

Subject: Re: pudding recipes
I am so glad that I said I would send the steamed puddings done in the microwave,
as I found that I have only typed one into my recipe folder.
So my next job is to go through all my bits and pieces to find the rest.
I know my Aunty Bet gave me more than one. And I try to keep all my favorite or
family recipes in a word doc. plus printed out. As the last time I did not have my
favorites copied to a word doc. I lost the cookbook in a move, and it is way too old
to find. English, 1959, and sold by the Shipphams Meat paste company for a pittance
plus a ton of their labels to prove that you actually ate the stuff. lol
So here is the basic steamed sponge recipe for now.
regards,
Valerie
Microwave Sponge Pudding
Prep time: 10 min Cook: 4 min
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup self raising flour
1 egg beaten
2 tablespoons milk.
Directions:
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
Mix in the egg and milk gradually so as not to curdle the butter.
Sift in the flour and fold it in gently.
Transfer to a 1 pint microwave safe bowl .
TIP:
If you do not want a plain sponge pudding, then add a few T of jam or syrup
or treacle, or Tate and Lyle's golden syrup, or marmalade.
or add less than a 1/4 cup of currants into the bowl before adding pudding mix.
There are plenty of ways to dress it up.
Cover and cook for 3 1/2 min on full power, or until the pudding appears set
when gently jiggled and the top is sticky.
Serve hot with custard
This is a great winter dessert, and doing it in the microwave sure beats cooking
it the old way, in a basin in water on the stove for 2 hours.

Subject: Chart House Lobster Spring Rolls
Four or five years ago I had the most delicious lobster and /or shrimp spring rolls
at Chart House in Alexandria. I found the recipe on line at that time and I printed it
and used it several times. It was delicious but i have now lost the recipe and I am
unable to find it on line. It had Napa cabbage and bean sprouts and it was fries.
I am not sure if they had lobster or shrimp or both.
Any chance of finding this recipe?
Many thanks
Mirella
Hello Mirella,
I had no success locating this recipe. I found many mentions of the spring rolls, particularly on various Chart House menus and in
reviews of the restaurants that mke up the chain, but I found no indication of the recipe having ever been online, and no copycat recipes.
If I had the address of the website on which you found it before, I might be able to locate the recipe in the Internet Archives,
but without the address, I have no way to proceed. I will post your request on my site in the hopes that a reader can help.
I also searched for any recipe at all for "lobster & shrimp spring rolls" with "napa cabbage" "bean sprouts," but I had no success.

Subject: Strawberry Pie recipe
Hi, what a wonderful site you have, I just found it and hope that you can help me
find the recipe for a strawberry pie that Furrs pie kitchens in Texas used to make.
I never liked strawberry pie until I tasted theirs. I have never found one anywhere
else that I liked as well as that one.
Valerie
Hello Valerie,
Sorry, I had no success locating a strawberry pie recipe from either Furr’s Pie Kitchen or Furr’s Cafeteria.
That recipe does not appear to be available. I also had no success locating a copycat recipe for it.
However, this recipe was recommended on a message board in response to the same request: Strawberry Pie
There is a recipe for the Luby’s Cafeteria strawberry pie here: Luby's Fresh Strawberry Pie
Phaed
Furr's Strawbery Pie
(from the Lubbock Online site at http://lubbockonline.com/stories/060398/0603980002.shtml)

2 cups boiling water
1 small box strawberry gelatin
4 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups sugar
Mix ingredients well. Cook for six minutes. Cool thoroughly. Place in prebaked
pie crust. Top with strawberries and whipped cream.
