I just found your site the other day and love it. Looking through
the archives with the year attached is like stepping back in time,
browsing through the differences in ingredients and tastes.
I worked at a Woolworth's restaurant in the early 1970's. I've
been searching for their peanut butter pie recipe for a long time.
I do remember that you mixed together peanut butter and confectioner's
sugar to make the crumbs, that it took a box of instant vanilla pudding,
and you placed ingredients in a regular baked pie shell. If I ever
find it I'll be sure to share it with you. One recipe I do remember
is their Rueban Sandwich. The secret there is the thousand island
dressing.
Reuben Sandwich
Ingredients:
2 slices rye bread
3 ounces corned beef slices
2 tablespoons sauerkraut
1 tablespoon thousand island dressing
1 slice swiss cheese
softened butter
Directions:
Lightly butter one side of rye bread and place buttered side down
on griddle (or in a skillet). Place swiss cheese slice on bread.
Top cheese with corned beef slices. Top cheese slices with sauerkraut.
Take second piece of rye bread and spread salad dressing on one side.
Place this side down over the sandwich. Spread outer side with butter.
Grill on both sides, turning once, and pressing down on sandwich with
pancake flipper.
Thank you,

Hello,
I just came across your website yesterday and just enjoyed it so much.
As I was browsing through the 2001 archives, I came across two possible
answers.
Under 8/25/01, Soft Serve Ice Cream from Lamar-- There is a machine
that some restaurants use to take hard ice cream and turn it into
soft "quenelles" of ice cream. It's called a Pacojet, but I think
it's very expensive nowadays. Could that be what Lamar is looking
for?
Under 12/21/01, Petit Fours from Julia-- Last year I came across a
cookie recipe in an old Gourmet magazine (December, 1999) called
"Rainbow Cookies." It sounds like this could be what Julia was
talking about, so I'm attaching the recipe.
Thanks so much for your wonderful website.

Rainbow Cookies
Makes about 7 dozen diamonds
7 oz. marzipan paste or almond paste
1 c. sugar
3 sticks unsalted butter, softened (1 1/2 c.)
4 large eggs, separated
1 tsp. almond extract
2 c. sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
1/4 tsp. salt
5 drops green food coloring or to desired color (not too green)
5 drops red food coloring or to desired color
12-oz. seedless raspberry jam
6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350º and grease 3 (13” x 9”) baking pans. Line
bottom of each with wax paper or parchment paper, letting it
extend at 2 opposite ends. Grease paper (or spray with Pam).
Break marzipan or almond paste into small pieces and grind with
sugar in food processor until no lumps remain. Transfer to a
large bowl and add butter. Beat with an electric mixer until
light and fluffy, then add yolks and almond extract and beat well.
Mix in flour and salt on low speed. Beat egg whites in another
bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold stiff peaks, and
stir 1/3rd into batter to lightly slightly (batter will be stiff).
Fold in remaining whites thoroughly.
Divide dough into 1/3rds (about 1 1/2 c. each). Stir green food
coloring into 1/3rd and red food coloring into another 1/3rd.
Leave last 1/3rd plain. Spread each dough separately into a prepared
pan (layers will be thin).
Bake layers in batches in middle of oven until just set and beginning
to turn golden along edges, 7-10 minutes total. Run a knife along
edges to loosen from pan, then while stir hot, invert a large rack
over pan and invert layer on to rack, pulling gently on wax paper
overhangs to release, if necessary. Peel off wax paper and cook
completely.
Line a large shallow baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper,
an slide the green layer into it. Spread half of jam evenly over
green layer and carefully top with plain layer. Spread remaining
jam evenly over uncolored layer, and carefully top with pink layer.
Trim edges, if necessary.
Cover with plastic wrap and weight with a large cutting board or
baking pan. Chill at least 3 hours.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or metal bowl set over a pan of
barely simmering water. Remove plastic wrap and weight from cookies
and spread chocolate evenly over the top, but not the sides of the
pink layer.
Let stand at room temperature until set, about 1 hour, and cut into
small diamonds (12 rows crosswise and 12 diagonal rows).
