Hi Phaedrus,

I am disappointed about the chicken pie recipe.  I love it so much!

Do you have the recipe for blueberry coffeecake served by Hobee's in California?

Thanks!

Hobees Sour Cream And Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe
From: http://www.grouprecipes.com/50912/hobees-sour-cream-and-blueberry-coffee-cake.html 

Cake:
1 1/2 c Flour (-sifted
1 c Sugar, granulated
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
2 Eggs
1 c Sour cream
1/2 ts Vanilla
1/4 c Blueberries, fresh,
optional (or other fruit, or nuts such as walnuts)
Vegetable oil

Topping:
5 tb Sugar, granulated
2 tb Butter
1/2 ts Cinnamon, ground

Directions  
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, resift sift flour with baking power, baking
soda, salt and about 1 cup of sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, sour cream
and vanilla.
Add egg mixture to flour mixture and beat until smooth.
Oil a 9-inch square baking pan
Spread the batter in the pan.
If you are using fruit or nuts, scatter them over the batter and stir a little 
bit so that they stay in the top layer.
In a small bowl, mix about 5 T sugar with the butter
and cinnamon with a sturdy fork, until they are blended and resemble cornmeal 
(i.e., you should have a mixture of fine crumbs, not a smooth mixture).
Sprinkle topping over batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a clean toothpick 
inserted in the center of the cake comes out dry.
Cool slightly; serve warm or at room temperature.

Hi Phaed,

I'm looking for a recipe that Lipton published back in the mid to late 70's, 
possibly on the box for their onion soup mix.  The recipe I'm referring to was 
for chicken, coated in a mixture of cranberry sauce and the onion soup mix. 
You've come through for me in the past on several occasions, so I'm hoping 
you keep the streak up!

Thanks,

Tina  

Hi Tina,

I found dozens of these with slight variations. The variations are chicken breasts vs whole cut up fryer vs thighs & drumsticks and French dressing vs Russian Dressing vs Catalina Dressing. I found all possible combinations of these.

Hello Phaedrus
Back in the years 1950 to 54 our highschool -Monroe High in Rochester, NY. 
Made these great sticky buns. 
I have no idea of the ingredients. But they were the best tasting buns I have ever had,
Perhaps you can help me with this. I am sure many others would like it also. 
Of  all the pecan buns I've tried, none have come up to par to these.
Thanks a lot-Mary 

Hi Mary,

There is a Monroe High School Sticky Buns recipe on the Monroe HS Class of 1969 Reunion website. However, it does not have any pecans.

Southern Style Iced Tea

I know from reading that there is sweet tea and unsweet tea used in the South, and 
am interested in learning the differences and how its made. Like the quanity, they 
type of tea (loose, bags) and how its cooled, on counter top and then put in the 
fridge or what, how much sugar etc. I can estimate but its nicer to know and it 
would be nice to have the unsweetened tea for summer here. (it can get over 100 F 
in the shade)

My Grammy was from Missouri but we never drank iced tea or even much tea, as my 
mother was allergic to it. My brother on the other hand drinks it like its going 
out of style but that is hot tea!

Hello Eva,

A meal in the South is not complete without sweet iced tea (unless it's breakfast...). The recipe below is the one that I grew up on. Do not squeeze the tea bags before removing them from the brew - it can make the tea bitter. Things like the amount of ice and sugar are to taste. Some like more;some like less. Add the sugar to the hot brew before adding the cold water. If you try to sweeten cold tea, most of the sugar just sits on the bottom. Sweet tea has sugar; unsweetened tea has no sugar. Lemon slices are optional with both.

Phaed

Iced  Tea

1 qt. boiling water
10 Lipton or Luzianne tea bags
1 c. sugar (more or less to individual taste)(omit for unsweetened)
3 qt. cold water

Makes 1 gallon.  Remove water from heat, add tea bags, and let steep five minutes. 
Remove tea bags(don't squeeze), then add sugar, stir well.  Pour into gallon container 
and add cold water.  Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the tea.

Noticed the request for Iced Tea, since we go through at least a gallon a
day I would like to share my way of making it.
I always have a half gallon of concentrate in the refrig ready to go when
the gallon jug gets emptied.
We like our tea strong but not bitter!!!

10 regular tea bags or 3 family sized tea bags (I use half Green tea bags,
and the other half regular tea bags)

1 - 2 cups sugar depending on taste ( I like less sweet so use one cup, my
mother-in-law likes sweet (like syrup to me) and uses 2 cups.

Add sugar to water in pot and bring to boil.

Turn off heat (if electric stove remove from burner) add tea bags and let
set covered.

When cooled to room temp pour into half gallon canning jar (tea bags
included).

Cover and put in refrig.

When ready  remove tea bags (do not press or squeeze) add this mixture to a
gallon container and fill to top with cold water.

Then start your next batch you will NEVER have to wait on the tea you will
always have a fresh pot ready.

This is real southern Iced Tea, when going to covered dish meals people will
ask which one is my tea and I never have any left to take home.
Hope you enjoy
