Thank you so much for looking for the recipe.
Would you have a good recipe for just the Italian Meatballs,
and I'll try to make the rest? All I can find is just plain meatballs.
Thank you very much for your time.
Marge
Hi Marge,
I just found that I had not sent the recipes. Sorry. Below are several.

Italian Meatballs
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
3 pounds lean ground beef
5 tablespoons ground oregano
5 tablespoons dried parsley, crushed
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
2 cups Italian-style dry bread crumbs
3 (28 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease
a 10x15 inch jelly-roll pan.
2 In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, oregano, parsley
and garlic. Mix in onion soup mix and seasoned bread crumbs.
Mix thoroughly.
3 Using a 1 ounce scoop, scoop and shape the meat mixture into balls.
Place in the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour or
until meatballs are browned and cooked through.
4 In a large pot over high heat, bring the spaghetti sauce to a boil
and add cooked meatballs. Reduce heat and simmer for 4 hours.
---------------------------------------------
Italian Meatballs
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/3 cup water (more or less)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 medium onion
garlic
salt
pepper
Mix all ingredients together. Don't add all of the water at
one time -- check mixture for moisture (it should be moist
but not so that the meatballs fall apart. Shape meatballs to
desired size and place on a broiler pan (I wet my hands before
shaping each meatball and it helps make a nice meatball.)
Broil until outside is slightly brown on one side and then turn
and broil the other side. When finished, add to spaghetti sauce
and simmer at least 20 minutes
-------------------------------------------------
Italian Meatballs
1 1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound Italian Sausage
1 egg
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs (packaged Italian crumbs work well)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh Italian flat parsley (cilantro)
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 large clove minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
salt and pepper to taste
Mix until well blended. Shape into medium-sized balls. To brown
meatballs, put in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Let meatballs
simmer in sauce for 1/2 hour or until done. The longer they simmer
in the sauce the better they will taste.
----------------------------------------------------------
Italian Meatballs (30 big meatballs)
2 lbs. ground sirloin* (lean gr. beef)
1 lb ground pork (or Italian sausage meat)
2 eggs, beaten
1 onion, chopped finely
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated peccorino Romano cheese
1 stale roll, soaked in water and squeezed dry
OR 1 cup Italian bread crumbs (but they won't be as soft as
with the soaked bread)
salt, pepper (1 tsp salt, about, and 1/2 tsp. pepper)
Mix all ingredients at once until completely mixed. Shape into
meatballs (you can cheat and use an ice cream scoop). You can
either fry (no oil, the meat has enough) them in a nonstick pan
(covered when you first put them in and take the cover off when
you turn them) or my favorite for big parties, in rectangular
pans in the oven, cooked at 400 degrees. Remember to drain the
fat off of the pan. You can cook more at the same time.
These freeze really well too. We do it all the time.
Make them, don't put the sauce on them (you could, but it
will take longer to defrost) and put them in zip lock bags.
* You can use chuck (reg. ground beef), but make sure when
cooking you drain the pan frequently, it has more fat.
I'm basing it on enough for 10, so you just multiply up as
needed. Remember the meatballs soak in ALOT of sauce.
----------------------------
Basic Tomato Sauce
3 large cans crushed tomatoes
1 can (4 oz??) tomato paste
6 cloves garlic, sliced
1 cup red cooking wine (not sweet)
olive oil
Salt and Pepper
Sugar (1 tsp?)
6 basil leaves (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
Dash Oregano
In a large pot, fry garlic until golden in olive oil. Add tomato
paste and fry a minute or two until melted. Add wine (doesn't have
to be there, but it's a nice taste and the alcohol cooks off).
Cook wine for another 5 minutes. Add cans of tomatoes, and 1 1/2
cans water. Bring to a boil, add spices (no sugar) and simmer for
approximately 1 hour.

Subject: pagachi
can you find me a recipe for a very thin, round, flat, filled
bread item called Pagachi?
it is slavic/russian/polish? in ethnicity, and i watched my
russian grandmother make this. she usually filled it with potatoes.
my yugoslavian friend's mother also made a version of this, but
she filled it with some meat with the potatoes.
>^.^<
Hi,
Sure. These have several names and are traditional in many Eastern European Countries. They are also called "longosha."
Phaed
Slovak- Loska- langoshe- Pagach
3 c Potatoes,mashed,cool,salted
1/2 c Flour
Blend flour into mashed potatoes. Add more flour if needed, but not to
much. Dough should not be sticky or crumbly. Divide dough into four
portions and roll out each portiom on floured board to 1/8 inch
thickness in 8 inch circles. Pick surface with a fork to prevent
puffing. Bake in preheated oven at 400 degrees. Bake on bottom
surface of oven, (I use cookie sheets) for about 7 minutes on each
side. After the Loska is baked, brush each side with either plain or
browned butter. Stack on a plate and cut into wedges. Loska is good
with any meatless soup.
Pagach-Quick
Also known as Slovak Pizza
1 frozen bread dough (thawed)
3 potatoes
1 medium onion
1/4 lb oleo
1 tablespoon milk
5 oz cheddar cheese
Cut bread dough in half. Roll out one half and place on cookie sheet. Cook
the potatoes in 2 quarts salted water, until done. Drain. Fry onion in oleo
until golden. Add to the potatoes. Add cheese, milk and salt and pepper and
mash with the potatoes. Spread evenly over rolled out dough. Cover with the
other half of the dough. Pinch edges together. Bake at 350oF for 20-30
minutes.
different fillings can be used...cabbage, potatoes, saurkraurt, and even
cinnamon & sugar

Dear Sir
I'm looking for the recipe for Ice Box Cheesecake. Like the one they
used to sell at the lunch counters of the old 5&10 Woolworth stores.
Thankyou

Hi Linda,
This is the recipe that's online. Another one below it.

Woolworth's Ice Box Cheese Torte
Yield: 12-16 servings
1 (3-oz.) pkg. lemon-flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tall can (13-oz.) Milnot, whipped
3 cups Graham cracker crumbs (or less if desired)
1/2 cup butter or margerine, melted
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Chill until slightly thickened (I chill
this until it is the consistency of an uncooked egg white).
Cream together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Add the gelatin
and blend well. Fold in stiffly whipped Milnot(this can be done with and
electric mixer).
Mix Graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together; pack 2/3 of
the mixture on bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch pan (or larger). Add
filling and sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Chill several hours or
overnight.
Cut into squares and serve plain (my favorite way) or garnished with
fruit.
I have never tried using any other type of canned evaporated milk as
Milnot is what the recipe calls for. It is a different type of canned milk.
If you can not find Minot in your area, they have a website where you
can purchase it www.milnot.com. I hope you enjoy this recipe as
much as I have. I also have tried using a different flavored jello like
strawberry and cherry - I didn't like it as much as with the original
lemon flavor. Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woolworth's Lemon Cheesecake
Graham cracker crumbs for crust & topping
2 cans evaporated milk
3 (3 ounce boxes) lemon flavored Jell-O
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 (8-ounce package cream cheese)
1 3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Line the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish or pan with graham
cracker crumbs, pressing down slightly.
Pour the evaporated milk into ice cube trays (or shallow metal
pans of appropriate size) and freeze until crystals form on the
surface.
Meanwhile, mix Jell-O with boiling water until dissolved; allow
to cool.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a medium bowl using an electric mixer on high speed, whip
crystallized evaporated milk until fluffy. Fold whipped
evaporated milk into cream cheese mixture.
Pour into prepared pan and top with a sprinkling of graham
cracker crumbs. Chill overnight.
Makes 12 servings (about 3 inches square).
