Hello
I was hoping that you could help me.
I am looking for a recipe for empire cookies. It is originally a Scotch or an English desert.
It is two cookies joined together with a jam filling and iced with a solid vanilla icing
with a piece of a cherry on the top
Thank you very much

Subject: Souplantation Tuna Tarragon Cold Pasta Salad
Dear Sir:
I've been eating at a restaurant, "Souplantation" for many years and have always
loved their Tuna Tarragon Pasta salad which is served cold. I've tried to obtain
the recipe for this dish from employees (past and present) from this restaurant,
but they are very loyal to their employer and will not provide the exact recipe
to me. I know for sure that the dish contains mayo, shell pasta, tarragon (I don't
know if fresh or dried) and I think maybe vinegar. Is it possible for you to obtain
this restaurant's exact recipe? Thank you.
Constance
Hello Constance,
See below. This recipe was in the San Diego Union Tribune and was attributed to Souplantation.

Tuna Tarragon Salad
Makes about 12 cups
1 tablespoon salt
5 cups small shell pasta
1 1/4 cups penne pasta
1 cup (3-inch pieces) spinach fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons canola oil
Dressing
2 (6-ounce) cans tuna packed in water
2 cups sweet pickle juice
1 3/4 cups mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups diced sweet pickle
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons dried tarragon leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
For the pasta: In a large pot, bring 3 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon salt to a full boil.
Add pastas and cook for about 10 minutes until al dente. Immediately strain pasta and
cool by running cold water over pasta in strainer. Drain pasta completely and place in
a bowl. Coat pasta with canola oil to prevent sticking.
For the dressing: Place tuna in a large bowl and break down into small pieces. Add the
remaining dressing ingredients and thoroughly whisk to combine.
Combine the dressing and cooked pasta and mix thoroughly. Allow salad to marinate
for 8 hours. Season to taste with salt, pepper or more sweet pickle juice.

Subject: unknown grain
Hi Phaed,
There was a grain that was raised in East Texas in the '50's that was called "Hi Gear".
I'm sure it was something like Hygeia, but I can't find a grain by that name, so apparently
that's not the correct spelling.
We used to pop it and it made miniature "popcorn."
Do you know what it was?
Thanks,
Margaret
Hi Margaret,
Seems to be a type of sorghum called "hegari". See these quotes that I found:
"We lived at Camp Springs, Scurry County, Texas..."
"We had made a little cotton and some feed in 1933, but 1934 brought almost no rain.
We made no cotton and hardly any feed. The feed was Hegari, a grain sorghum which
grew to a height of about five feet with a head of grain on top. We called it Hi-gear,
don't ask me why."
These quotes are from here:
Findarticles.com

P.S.:
This site tells how to "pop" sorgum grain in a hot air corn popper:
