Subject: Pine resin
Looking for 400-500 lbs of resin to cook potatoes. .
Please inform. Asap.
Thanks Jeff
Hello Jeff,
The only resin supplier that I know of for quantities of that size is “Amber Pine Rosin”.
However, their website has vanished and an e-mail I sent to their e-mail address bounced
back, so they may have gone out of business.
Try here: Rosin Products
Art supply sources only have very small quantities, and tend to be very expensive.
I cannot find many suppliers for bulk pine resin except in China: Alibaba

Subject: Knock Kneed lobster / Lazy Lou's Fish & Chips
Good Morning Phaedrus,
This is my first time contacting you but have snagged many tasty recipes from your site.
Thank You! My issue is I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona and currently living in
Houston, Texas.
There were two restaurants - Knock Kneed lobster / Lazy Lou's Fish & Chips - in Phoenix
that had amazing fish & chips. Even though they have two different names the menu items
were exactly the same.
I would really love to know how to make their red sauce/cocktail sauce that is served with
the fish. It's not a normal cocktail sauce. It's thin with a kick! I have searched the internet
and always come up empty handed.
Have a Great Day :)

Hi Sandi,
I had no success locating a recipe or a copycat recipe for this sauce. Sorry. There is a photo of the sauce here: Knock Kneed Lobster
I never saw it stated directly anywhere, but it seems that "Knock Kneed Lobster" is owned by the same people
that owned "Lazy Lou’s", and in-between they may have owned another restaurant called "Sullivan’s Pier".
I found lots of comments in reviews about the red cocktail sauce, some good and some bad. Lots of people
raved about it, but some people complained that it is too watery. Some said it’s just watery ketchup with
a dash of hot sauce. Some said it’s no different than off-the-shelf cocktail sauce. Some said it’s just
off-the-shelf cocktail sauce with a dash of hot sauce added.
I’ve never had sauce from either of those places, so I can’t recommend a recipe, although there are dozens
of red cocktail sauce recipes on the web and in our files.

Good afternoon,
While I don't know the recipe, I think I have a pretty good idea of how it's made.
I live in SoCal, but was born and raised in the Phoenix area. When Lazy Lou's
was at 24th street and Washington, their restaurant was in my dad's old
"La Fiesta" Mexican food building. Anyway, if you can give Sandi my email
address, that would be appreciated. The Sullivan's still own it and I make a
run there every time I go visit my parents. The sauce is quite unique, and our
entire family has talked / analyzed it for years.
Here's an approximation of the recipe as my extended family has analyzed it:
Definitely no ketchup is in the recipe!
1/3 ratio tomato juice
1/3 ratio tomato sauce
1/3 ratio V8 juice
Commercial "Louisiana Style" hot sauce to taste (note, I have seen this
sauce in the grocery store and it's the same thing KKL serves)
Creamy style horseradish sauce to taste
Medium ground pepper to taste
Lemon juice to taste
Salt?
The head scratcher for me has always been how the solids manage to stay
suspended in the liquid.
Perhaps a slurry of corn starch / boiling water (cooled) as a slight thickener
might do the trick.
Regards,
Brody

Hi,
Any recipes from the Ft. Worth ISD in the 50s and 60s would be appreciated but, most of us
Would like the recipe for making the wonderful fried chicken.
Thanks,
Tulane
Hello Tulane,
I’ve searched every way that I can think of, but I cannot find a single recipe that says it is
from any of the Fort Worth Schools or the Ft. Worth ISD, nor could I find any mention of
the fried chicken. The only thing that I could find regarding the Ft. Worth school cafeterias
was a survey done in the 1940s that said the entire school system used a recipe book called
“Cook Book” by Mrs Bena Hoskins. I had no success find anything about that recipe book,
and I’ve no idea if it was still in use after 1950.
The only thing that I can do is post this on my site in the hope that a reader can help.

Subject: sausage recipes
Hi,
I am trying to find the name and the recipe for a sausage recipe that an old relative
made when he butchered a pig. He took the head and liver and heart and boiled them
and picked the meat from the head and ground it up with the liver and heart, and
added it to cooked rice and I am sure onions and garlic and mixed it all together
with a lot of pepper, and put it in a sausage casing and made a sausage.
He heated it in the oven with a bit of water until the casing cracked.
What is the name of this sausage and how do you make it?
The relative was Hungarian, if that helps to find the name.
Also how do you make a plain simple breakfast sausage?
Are there any preservatives? What spices? Thank you in advance.
Betty
Hello Betty,
The Hungarian sausage that you describe sounds like “hurka”. See the recipes on these pages of my site:
Hurka 1
Hurka 2
