Hello Lou,

The Slovenian word for "stomach" is "želodec."

There is a recipe below.

Phaed

Gorenjski Želodec

Ingredients
2 kg pork, ground
juice of 6 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons salt
pepper to taste
40 dag millet gruel (You may add some buckwheat gruel).
1 pork stomach or 25 cm long piece of large gut
water

Place meat into a bowl; add garlic juice, salt and pepper. Mix and place 
it in a refrigerator for several hours.
Then knead it well with hands and add gruel. Cut the gut into 10 inch 
long pieces or use the stomach. Fill them with the filling, but not tightly. 
Saw both ends or tie them with skewers.
Put the sausages under a board and weight it down. Afterwards smoke the 
sausages in the same way as other kinds of meat.
Cook them slowly for about 50 minutes. Serve as cold cuts or hot as sausages 
together with sauerkraut or sour turnip.

Hello Lou,

A "dag" is a European metric measure. It's an abbreviation for "decagram",which is equal to 10 grams, or about 1/3 ounce by weight.

Uncle Phaed ,

Back on Sept 30th you sent me the recipe for Zelodec . When my uncle made
it he used a pig stomach ( zelodec in Slovenian ) . Couldn't find an actual
stomach but found zups.com in Eli MN . They have them for $3.50 each . Best
part they are artificial . You stuff them , they are flat (don't have to
use boards to keep it flat . They smoke beatiful . Taste fantastic .
Thanks again for your help .

Hello Gillian,

See below for the tea bread recipes that I was able to find.

Phaed

Tea  Bread

1 lb. raisins
1 lb. dark brown sugar
20 oz. tea, unsweetened
4 c. flour
4 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice

 Steep raisins and sugar in tea overnight. Next day stir in beaten eggs, 
 spices and flour. 
Mixture will be very moist.  Bake in 2 greased loaf pans at 350 degrees 
for 1 1/2 hours. Test before removing from oven.  Bread freezes well. 
-----------------------------------
Tea  Bread

2 c. black raisins
2 c. white raisins
1 c. strong cold tea
1 c. brown sugar
2 c. flour
2 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder

 Put the first 4 ingredients into a mixing bowl and leave overnight. 
 The next day add the last 3 ingredients and mix well together. 
 Bake at 300 degrees in a greased bread tin for 1-1 1/2 hours. 
 Cool and serve.  Cut into slices and buttered.  This loaf improves 
 with keeping if stored in an airtight container.

Cracklin' Crisp Chicken Salad

Years ago I had a recipe for a chicken salad called cracklin crisp. 
It was not on the menu of the unknown west coast restaurant that 
served it to Danny Kaye and others. (at special request) It was in 
the Chicago Tribune at least 25 years ago. I have searched for at 
least a year on the web. Thank you!   Mike
