Subject: searching for Classic Creamy Tomato Soup recipe
Hello,
I'm looking for the recipe to Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation's Classic Creamy Tomato Soup.
I(It's not the same as the tomato and onion soup they serve.) This is without question the
best tomato soup I have ever had--and this is from someone who doesn't usually even like
tomato soup! I'm a teacher and love my job, but after the occasional rough day it would
be nice to come home to some of this soup. It's a great "comfort food" dish.
The only two ingredients that I know for certain are in the soup are cream and celery.
Thanks very much for any help you can provide,
Margarita (yes, that's my real name. It means "daisy" in Spanish.)
Hello Margarita,
I wish that I could help, but I cannot find a recipe or a copycat for
Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation's classic creamy tomato soup.

Subject: Lost Mustard Caper Sauce Recipe served cold
I once had a wonderful grilled foods recipe book (mid 80's), and for special
occasions made a whole grilled beef tenderloin which I served with a mustard
caper sauce from the grilled foods cook book (I think it was one that came with
the grill). It was different from most mustard caper recipes because it was not
cooked, from pan drippings, etc., It was delightful for summer, but nice year
round. The primary ingredients were coarse ground mustard, pickled capers,
whipping cream, and I believe some lemon. It's especially nice because it also
goes beautifully with left over tenderloin, or any nice, cold, rare beef.
Any help you can provide will be much appreciated.
I appreciate and respect your request guidelines.and yes, I'm one of "those".
I use my middle name, and most often my real first name initial.
Thank you.
L. Ann
Hi L. Ann,
Wish I could help, but all of the mustard caper sauce recipes that I find are cooked.
I'll post the request on my site. Perhaps a reader can help.

Dear Phaedrus:
My grandmother came from Bari, Italy in the 1920s. She used to make this traditional
cookie at Christmas time that we dipped in a fig sauce. I remember the cookie had to
be fried because it looked like a bow tie or a strip of dough that was given a twist
in its center and was very light and crisp (very similar to cookies found today that
are dusted with confectioner's sugar). I'm pretty sure it was a fig SAUCE and not a
GLAZE only because we dipped the cookie in it as we ate. I would very much like to
continue her tradition of serving this at Christmas but I don't even know the proper
name of the treat and my grandmother has since passed away. I am not that adept using
the Internet but have tried googling Bari, Italy, cookie recipes and Italian Christmas
cookies to no avail. Can you shed any light on my quest? I would be ever so grateful!
Rosanne
Hi Rosanne,
There is a fried bow ties recipe on my site. See:
Italian Bowtie Cookies
Also, there is a discussion here about them:
Bowtie Cookies
I cannot find any recipes for them specific to Bari, nor can I find a recipe for the fig sauce.

I was wondering if you knew where I could get crispitos just like the ones they
serve/served in school cafeterias??
Thank YoU!
Desirea
Hello Desirea,
Crispitos are a Food Service product made by Tyson Foods. They are only sold in case
quantities and only to places like school cafeterias as far as I can tell.See:
Tyson Foods
Market Day, a fund-raising organization, used to offer them as a fundraising product,
but they show them as "discontinued". See:
Market Day
Some people have been able to get them by calling their local school cafeterias.
Sometimes the cafeteria will sell you a few.
If not, then perhaps you can buy them by the case from Food Service Direct. See:
Food Srvice Direct
I recently saw these in our local Whole Foods. Try there.

Subject: Peanut Jumble cookies
I loved Peanut Jumble cookies as a kid. They were chewy and had whole
peanuts on the top. We bought them at Von's grocery store, they may have
been Van De Camp's brand.
Ingredients:
Flour,
sugar,
peanut butter,
peanuts
Thank you for your help,
Cyndy
Hi Cyndy,
The only ones that I can find any mention of were made by Archway, and are
discontinued. Sorry, I had no success locating a copycat recipe. This
cookbook has a peanut jumble cookies recipe:
