Hello Sharon,
I found two recipes with that name. See below.
Phaed
Not Your Mama's Banana Pudding
List of Ingredients
2 pkg banana cream pudding
1 pkg cream cheese
1 container of Cool Whip
2 pkg of Pepperridge Farm Chessmen Cookies
3 bananas sliced
Recipe
First, make the banana cream pudding as directed on pkg. Set in fridge just
a few minutes as the rest of the ingredients is prepared.
Second, blend the cream cheese until smooth, gently add the Cool Whip. This
should be kind of runny.
Next, combine all three ingredients, pudding with the cream cheese/cool
whip.
Set in the fridge and chill a few more minutes. It will be runny and will
thicken as it chills.
Finally, line a pan 9x13 with the Chessmen cookies, add sliced bananas on
top. As much as you desire. Add the mixture on top. Then, add more cookies
on top facing in one direction.
Chill in fridge for at least an hour.

I'm looking for a recipe like Popeye's red beans and rice
recipe can you help?
Thank you
Ella
Hello Ella,
Sure, See below.
Phaed
Red Beans And Rice Like Popeye's
3 (16 ounce) cans red beans (2 cans with liquid, 1 can drained )
1/2 to 3/4 pound smoked ham hock
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon lard
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
4 to 5 cups long grain rice, cooked and drained
Pour 2 cans of beans with their liquid into a 2-quart saucepan. Add smoked ham hock
and water. Simmer over medium heat for 1 hour until the meat starts to loosen from
the bone.
Remove from heat and cool until the hock is cool enough so the meat may be removed
from the bone. Place the meat, beans and liquid in a food processor. To the mixture
add onion powder, garlic salt, red pepper, salt, and lard. Process for only 4 seconds.
Beans should be chopped and liquid thick. Add the third can of beans that have been
drained of their liquid. Process just for a second or two; you want these beans to
remain almost whole. Pour bean mixture back into to pan and cook slowly on low heat
stirring often until ready to serve.
Serve over rice.

Can you help? I found an old framed picture of a woman. The artist seems to be George Romney,
engraved by Sidney Wilson. The subject is Mrs. Lee-Acton.
How can I find more information about the artist and the engraver? I did some searches however
I am not certain if the information I found is the artist and engraver on the picture.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Hello Camille,
Well, you may have an original 20th century engraving by English engraver
Sydney E. Wilson of a 1791 oil painting done by the English artist George Romney.
George Romney, 1734-1802
George Romney was once one of England's most commercially popular artists. His portrait
of Mrs. Penelope Lee Acton was number 136 in the catalog of the 2002 George Romney
exhibit in Liverpool, although the portrait was only shown in the California exhibit.
It is a full-length painting of a fashionably dressed lady, painted in 1791. She has
big hair under a big bonnet, and is shown in what the catalog calls a "stiff" pose against
a mountainous landscape at sunset.
There is a book about George Romney for sale here, along with a catalog of the George Romney
exhibition, including the portrait of Penelope Lee Acton:
NY Books
Some of Sidney Wilson's work can be seen here. He may still be alive, or have died only recently.

There is something written on the top of the picture. It says Copyright Published Sept.23 1919
by Vicars Brothers 12 Old Bond Street London
A pencil signature appears on the right side Sydney E. Wilson. There is some impression on the
left side. A small area, it says Fine Art the rest is not readable to me.
I know I can probably go to an appraiser however I think I need to educate myself as much as
possible prior to paying for a consultation. Any suggestions, research I can do would be helpful
to determine if what I have is a copy or an original.
Thank you.
Hi Camille,
Well, I think that you probably have an original Sydney Ernest Wilson engraving. I looked
around the web for anything about Vicars Brothers. They're an art publishing house in London.
Sometimes the best way to gauge the value of an object of art is to find out how much similar
items are selling for.
For instance, I found another engraving by Sydney E. Wilson, also signed by him in pencil
and also published by Vicars Brothers. This one was dated 1930, and it sold at auction for
$100.00. It's item # 171 on this page:
Schrager Auction
Another one here, no price given:
JoyLuke -See
Item #54
A book of several of Mr. Wilson's engravings here:
Item # [001294]
Hope this helps.

Hi Judy,
Sure, it's possible, although not everyone likes gravies made with xanthan
gum. Another low-carb alternative is guar gum.
The problem people have in using both of these is that they go overboard and
use too much, thus ruining their gravy. A little goes a long way, and
stirring a lot prevents lumps. The best tip I've ever seen for using guar or
xanthan gum as a thickener is this one that I found on a low-carb message
board:
"Someone said to put the xanthan gum in a pepper shaker and shake it lightly
into the liquid you want to thicken, stirring constantly. Shake in a small
amount of the xanthan gum, stir vigorously, then repeat as many times as necessary
to achieve the thickness you want for your gravy.
Use the same method for making cream soups, and for making sauces for
casseroles, etc."
