Hello Liz,
See below.
Phaed
Bojac Dressing
Ingredients :
2 cup water
2 cup granulated sugar divided
1 cup white vinegar
1 tsp salt
5 tbl all-purpose flour
4 tsp dry mustard
4 x eggs
1/4 cup butter or margarine
Method :
In medium saucepan, combine water, 1 cup sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil.
In bowl, blend together 1 cup sugar, salt, flour, mustard and eggs. Slowly
add egg mixture to hot sugar mixture. Reduce heat to medium; cook until thickened.
Remove from heat, add butter or margarine and stir until melted. Cook and store
in airtight jar in refrigerator.
Makes about 4 cups. (32 - 2 tablespoon servings)
Notes: Bojac Dressing is good on Cabbage Salad
Dennis sent this:
My Mom made the best potato salad, cole slaw,
and almost anything that needed salad dressing.
Bojac was the reason why!
When they took it off the market, she made her own.
When microwave ovens became available, she came up
with this easy method. It uses no flour, so it's gluten-free.
It keeps for 4-6 weeks in a sealed Mason jar in the fridge.
The Splenda version is just as good. Use less Splenda
than you would sugar (comes out too sweet, otherwise).
Also works good used half and half with Miracle Whip.
Egg Salad, Ham Salad, Salmon Salad for sandwiches - Yum!

Hello Kysoti,
Blueberry duff used to be cooked in a pudding bag, as in the first recipe
below, but the method has changed, as in the other two.

Hi Phaedrus,
Awhile back I did a search for a recipe for Mother's Angel Chocolate
Chip Cookies (which are no longer manufactured).
I found a recipe you located for someone named Abby back in 11/01.
I tried the recipe and it is not only nothing like the Mother's version,
it was so yucky I don't know why anyone would make these more than once.
They were cakelike, fluffy, and flavorless. The Mother's cookies were
crispy and melt in the mouth. However, I was able to tweak the recipe
and come up with a result that was remarkably like the Mother's Cookie.
In case anyone's interested:
3/4 c. shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp ea:
powder
soda
cream of tartar ( I might even increase this to 1 1/2 next time)
next time I will also add 1/4 tsp salt
1c. or to taste semi sweet choc chips (I would use mini-chips if available)

Hello Jenni,
Is this it? See below.
Phaed
Applebee's Vegetable Medley
Source: Applebee's
1/2 pound cold, fresh zucchini, 1/4 inch bias half moons
1/2 pound cold, fresh yellow squash, 1/4 inch bias half moons
1/4 pound cold red pepper, 1/4 inch julienne cut strips
1/4 pound cold carrots, 4 inch x 1/4 inch sticks
1/4 pound cold red onions, 1/4 inch julienne cut strips
1 cold, small corn cob, 1-6 "wheel" cut
3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons fresh or dried parsley
Thoroughly clean and sanitize sink.
Rinse and wash all vegetables under cold water.
Clean and sanitize cutting board and knife.
Cut the ends off of the zucchini and squash, then down the center lengthwise.
Using chef knife, cut into 1/4 inch bias half moons.
Slice red pepper in half and remove the stem. Core and remove seeds from the
red peppers. Cut each half in half, then slice lengthwise.
Slice both ends of red onion off. Remove the peel and core of the onion.
Slice lengthwise for a 1/4 inch julienne cut.
Peel carrots. Trim top end of carrot and narrow bottom end to result in a
4 inch length of (somewhat) uniform width. Cut each piece in half lengthwise,
then cut the halves into quarters, result should be approximately 1/4 inch x
1/4 inch sticks.
Heat butter or margarine in a sauté pan over medium heat (do not scorch). Add
salt, sugar and garlic. Add vegetables (start with carrots and work back up the
list - denser vegetables take longer to heat) and cook until hot, yet crisp.
When vegetables are all in pan and cooking, add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce
and parsley. Mix thoroughly and serve.
