  Hello, I'm looking for the recipe for prime rib where you bake it for 
  an hour and then turn off the oven for like 8 hours without opening 
  the oven and then turn the over back on for about a half hour.  Have 
  you heard of this one?   I'm not sure of the times and temperatures.  
  Thanks Claudia

Hi Claudia,

See below. Not 8 hours, though.... 1 1/2 hours.
This recipe works. So does the one below it.

  Perfect Prime Rib 

  Ingredients:

  Bone-In Rib Eye Roast (Boneless works too, but doesn't taste as good) 
  with the fat cap still in place. 

  Rub: 
  1/4 cup black pepper 
  2 Tbsp. white pepper 
  2 Tbsp. salt 
  1 1/2 tsp. ground thyme 
  1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  1 tsp. onion powder 

  Method:
  Combine rub ingredients and rub evenly over the meat. Place in a 
  heavy roasting pan and cook at 500 degrees for 5 minutes per pound. 
  Don't add water. Turn off the oven and let the meat sit in it for 
  2 hours. Do Not Open The Oven Door Under Any Circumstances!! If you 
  want the meat a little more well done, add a few minutes of cooking 
  time before turning the oven off (3-5 for medium and 8-10 for well done).

Medjugorje Fasting Bread

  Subject: Re: Medjugorje Fasting Bread

  Hello
  I have been trying for a long time to get the recipe for the fasting bread 
  in Medjugorje.
  I would love to have this recipe. Am hoping you will have the recipe or be 
  able to find it for me.
  Yours truly 
  Peggy

Hello Peggy,

The only online recipe that I can find is the one below. it's the same one that's on "The Children of Medjugorje" websites at:

Medjugorje

Phaed

 " In Medjugorje, as in other places which have remained close to nature, 
 the families make their own bread which is excellent. To fast with this 
 bread is not a problem. For those who can, making bread is very beneficial 
 from every point of view, it helps enter deeper into the spirit of fasting."

  "Here is the recipe, but let's not forget that the quality of our bread 
  greatly depends on the kind of flour we use. We can mix whole meal flour 
  with white flour."

  For 1 kg of flour, (i.e., about 2 & 1/2 pounds or 7 & 1/2 cups), 
  add in the following order: 
  3/4 of a liter (3 1/6 cups) of warm water (around 37°C or 98°F) 
  1 teaspoon of sugar 
  1 teaspoon of dried yeast 
  2 tablespoons of oil 
  1 tablespoon of salt 
  1 mug of oat flakes or any other cereals (about 250 grams or 8.8 oz) 

  Knead the whole dough. You can add a little bit of flour if the mixture 
  is too liquid. 

  You don't need to knead it much. 

  Leave it to rise for 2 hours minimum (or over night) in a warm place 
  with a constant temperature (not less than 25°C or 77°F). Cover with 
  a wet cloth. Pour the mixture into well oiled molds (up to 4 cm high 
  [or 1.6 inches] maximum); Cover with a wet cloth and leave it rise 
  again for 2 more hours. 

  Put into a hot oven (160°C or 320°F), and allow to bake for 1 hour. 

 "On fasting days, it's very important to drink a lot of water. Cold or 
 hot? Our Lady didn't give any detail of this kind, therefore each one 
 of us may decide how to fast, out of freedom, from the heart and according 
 to his health."

> Help!  I need a receipe for chokecherry jelly fast!  I've already 
started defrosting the juice and suddenly can't find my receipe.  
The only day for weeks I can do this is tomorrow (Saturday Apr 19).  
Can you respond this quickly or am I out of my mind for even asking, 
and is there a receipe that doesn't require pectin?  You have my 
everlasting gratitude if you solve my problem, short-lived gratitude 
if you have to turn me down.  Seriously, I appreciate your efforts 
either way.  Thank you.
