Hej
Would have a recipe for sweet potato chip
Knud
Hey Knud,
Sure would. Below are three.
Phaed
Sweet Potato Chips
1/2 pound sweet potatoes
1/2 tbsp. corn oil
Preheat oven to 400 deg. Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick
cooking spray. Slice the sweet potatoes into very thin slices. In a
large bowl carefully toss the sweet potato slices by hand in the oil
to coat the chips lightly.
Lay the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the
chips for 15 minutes. Turn each piece over with a metal spatula and bake
for 5 more minutes. Chips should be dry and slightly crisp. If not, bake
up to 3 more minutes, checking every minute so the chips won't burn. Let
cool for 5 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings, about 7 chips each

> you, i am mary
Hi Mary,
Tomato blossom rot is caused by calcium deficiency. You can help prevent it
by adding gypsum to your garden soil at planting time. It can be aggravated
by the application of too much nitrogen fertilizer to tomato plants. It
sometimes appears after periods of heavy rains because extended heavy rains
wash the calcium from the soil.
Blossom-end rot appears as a round, brown sunken area on the end of the
tomato fruit opposite the stem. As a fruit ripens the
area turns dry and leathery. The disorder often appears after a period of
rapid growth followed by dry conditions, or in periods of heavy rain that
caused calcium to leach from the soil.
Go to your nursery or county co-op and get a product called:
Bonide Tomato-Blossom ROT-STOP ®
Helps correct calcium deficiencies.
Also use on cucumbers, melons and peppers.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Apply Bonide Rot-Stop, undiluted, to the point of run
off onto the foliage and fruit during periods of rapid growth or following
excessive rain fall. Apply in early morning or evening when temperatures are
lower to avoid foliage burn. Make applications 5 to 7 days apart when
conditions are favorable for appearance to the disorder. Regular spray
pro-grams are not recommended as prolonged spraying and rates in excess of
these specified can cause foliage burn.

Subject: chocolate donuts
Help! Seven years ago my husband lived in Utah and he remembers
eating chocolate donuts at the 7-eleven there. All he talks about
are those donuts. We can't find them in Idaho or Washington and I
would love to surprise him with a close duplicate. He remembers them
being like chocolate cake with a chocolate glaze. Everything I've
tried hasn't even come close. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Laurel
Hi Laurel,
Well, I can't find the 7-eleven recipe, nor can I find a reliably close duplicate, because I have no idea what the 7-eleven recipe was.
However, I do have a recipe for chocolate cake donuts with chocolate icing. It's below.
Phaed
Double Chocolate Cake Doughnuts
Yield: 1
Ingredients
1 1/2 c sugar
1 ts baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 ts salt
4 tb butter
3 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
1 1/2 ts vanilla extract
1 c buttermilk
3 1/2 c all-purpose flour
3 ts baking powder
ICING:
1 c confectioner's sugar; sifted
2 tb cocoa
1 ts vanilla extract
2 tb melted butter
2 ts water; or more, as needed
Instructions
Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Beat the sugar and eggs
together until creamy and lemon colored. Melt the butter and chocolate
together in a small saucepan over low heat or nuke it, stirring every few
seconds. Beat into the sugar and egg mixture. Add the vanilla and
buttermilk. Mix well. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and
salt together. Add slowly to the liquid mixture. Divide the dough in
half. Chill to make it easier to handle. I usually go this far the night
before and finish in the morning. Roll out one half of the dough on a
lightly floured board to about a 1/2" thickness. Cut into doughnuts.
Allow the cut doughnuts to stand for 10 minutes. Heat 2" of oil to 370
degrees in a large skillet. An electric skillet is perfect if it has a
temp control. The doughnuts should be at room temperature before frying.
Dip a metal pancake turner or slotted spoon into the hot oil before using
it to add or turn a doughnut. Transfer the doughnuts to the skillet, one
every 15 seconds. Fry each doughnut about 90 seconds per side. Remove
the doughnuts and drain on paper toweling or on a rack placed on a cookie
sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter. Yields 30 Doughnuts.
Icing:
Prepare the icing by beating all the ingredients together. If the icing
is too stiff add additional water, one or two drops at a time. Beat until
smooth. Spread onto the doughnuts after they have cooled

Hello Dennis,
Well, I didn't expect to find this at all, but I had a bit of luck. Of
course, I didn't find a recipe for wintergreen leaves. What I found was a
recipe for spearmint leaves. But all you have to do is substitute
wintergreen oil for spearmint oil. Other than the flavoring, the recipes are
the same. If you're going to really make "leaves", you need a candy mold.
There's one for sale at this auction site:
Epier
I actually found two recipes.The first one, though doesn't say what kind or
how much flavoring to use. The second one says "1 tsp mint extract). You'll
want to use 1 tsp wintergreen extract. You'll also want to use red food coloring
instead of green.
Phaed
-----------------------
Spearmint leaves are a liquid pectin product. Gelatin can also be used to
make this candy. The recipe is simple. Take 6 ounces of green colored liquid
fruit pectin, place it in a 2 quart suace pan, and add 1/2 teaspoon of
baking soda. Stir. (pectin will foam). Bring to a boil and pour liquid into
molds. This is a very old fashioned candy that was often part of the candy
case in the movie theatres of the 1950's.
--------------------------------
Jamie's Spearmint Leaves
6 envelopes Knox gelatine
Sweetener equivalent to one cup sugar (24 packets)
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. mint extract (actually, that comes out rather strong, you can use a
bit less)
Few drops of green food colouring
Cook and stir on low heat until well melted and blended. (if using
aspartame, blend the sweetener in after cooling the cooked gelatine mixture
somewhat by stirring it for a few minutes off the heat)
Pour in a mold or on a plate to solidify, and cut or tear in pieces when
cool.
