do find it, please send it to me?

> Actually my 75 year old cousin found it in his recently deceased 103 year
old mother's cookbook collection. Funny thing is she had it handwritten
under the heading "Chicken L'Orange"--my cousin almost bypassed it until the
ingredients of pink lemonade caught his eye. Very funny. Here it is:

Bake for one hour at 400 degrees. make sure it doesn't burn. make sauce for

> 2 teaspoons ginger, salt , pepper, garlic powder and heavy dash of
worcestershire sauce

> 1/4 cup brown sugar
> plenty of red food coloring
> defatted drippings from duck added to this sauce -cook for 10-15 minutes
> Place each duck piece on 1/2 a California orange, pour sauce all over.
Bake at 300 degrees for 2+ hours basting every 15 minutes.

> Recipe sounds daunting but as all my relatives recalled this festive meal,
complete with my father's over the top garnishes (crab apple rings and
marachino cherries on the half oranges..), they were overwhelmed with the
memory of the taste and smell that meal provided. They long for me to
undertake the task. I will soon. They also mentioned he rserved it with
saffron rice...I hope you try it--its a real show stopper.

Hello, Uncle Phaedrus! First I wanted to thank you for your website - I've
used it many times over the years.
Secondly, I wanted to update you on the "Purple Duck" recipe.
https://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m0211W04.htm#2 A few years back I
emailed back and forth with Marya, Fred's Daughter, and after she found the
recipe I updated it to a recipe which is a bit easier to follow and in a
format that modern cooks are used to. I posted it to RecipeZaar back in
April 2005, and it's available here:
Purple Duck
Just thought you might like to know! :)
Thanks again,
--Julie

Dear Phaedrus
Do you have a recipie for Peanut Butter Soup?
I had a great bowl of it at a vegetarian resteraunt in Bozeman, MO, usa,
about 25 years ago. Never could find a recipie myself.
thanks
Pete
Hi Pete,
The most popular version of peanut butter soup has chicken broth in it, but
if you had it at a vegetarian restaurant, I doubt that's the same recipe.
Below are three vegetarian peanut butter soup recipes.
Phaed
Cream of Peanut Butter Soup
INGREDIENTS
2 tops celery
285 ml / 13 fl oz / 1 1/3 cups water
1 t sea salt
4 sticks celery
1 T grated onion
30 g / 1 oz / 2 T vegan margarine
2 T flour
3 T peanut butter
425 ml / 14 fl oz / 2 cups soy milk
As required freshly ground black pepper
Sprinkling paprika
METHOD
Chop the celery tops and cook them in the water with the salt for about 10
minutes. Strain, reserving the water but discarding the celery tops.
Chop the celery finely. Saute this with the onion in the margarine for 2
minutes in a large saucepan.
Stir in the flour. When well blended, add the peanut butter and mix well.
Stir in the soy milk and celery water. Stir over a low heat until the mixture
boils. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Season to taste with black pepper. When serving, sprinkle with paprika.
