Subject: Old recipe to make for my mom
I make just about all my mom's food do to her dietary needs and health issues.
I can turn any recipe around so that she is able to eat it.
Well, she's 74. She keeps telling me about how her favorite was when she went to
her Aunt's house and she would make homemade italian spaghetti sauce with Bread Balls
in it. She has been craving them and i would love to make them for her.
I love you're website! Any recipe that i use is terrific. This is a great service you
provide those of us that like to eat real food and cook it as well. I truly appreciate it.
Have a great evening!
Sincerely,
Valarie
Hello Valerie,
Perhaps "polpette di lupo" is what you want. Try the recipes on these sites:

Thank you. I will run it by my mom and see. They do look like what she's talking about.
I appreciate all your efforts. It's making an old woman happy.
Sincerely,
Valarie

Hello Toby,
I cannot find a cake recipe with lots of black pepper that says it is from
"The Spice Cookbook". That recipe may be on the internet, but if it is, is
does not mention "The Spice Cookbook". In order to find the correct recipe,
I would need more information than the fact that it contains a lot of black
pepper.
Your best bet might be to get a copy of that cookbook. "The Spice Book" by
Avanelle Day and Lillie Stuckey is available on Amazon.com. See:
"The Spice Book" by Avanelle Day and Lillie Stuckey
There is a "black pepper cake" recipe below.
Phaed
Black Pepper Cake
1 c. walnuts
1/2 c. shortening
2 c. brown sugar
3 eggs, separated
3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c. milk
Place nut meats in boiling water a few minutes, then drain. Cream
shortening and sugar, add well beaten egg yolks. Sift together dry
ingredients and add alternately with milk to the creamed mixture. Add nut
meats. Fold in well beaten egg whites. Bake in 3 layers at 350 degrees for
about 20 minutes.

Good Morning!
Thank you for your prompt answer! I am fairly sure that your black
pepper cake is the one I needed! I will check it out when I get my
Amazon copy of "The Spice Cookbook". I will use your version today
with a dear friend for our annual holiday cake baking day .
Thanks again. Your web site is superior!

Subject: Man's Favorite Cake Recipe
My mother has searched for this recipe for years. she said her Aunt use to make it.
she said it has raisins, cinnamon or other spices. It has an orange flavor, possibly
in the icing. She at this as a child, she is 70 years old now. She thinks it may have
come out of a paper or magazine at that time. I have googled the recipe, but no luck.
Charlotte
Hello Charlotte,
All of the cake recipes that I can find with that name and with raisins and cinnamon are
like the one below. I did not find any that had any orange in either the cake or the frosting.
Phaed
A Man's Favorite Cake
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 c. seedless raisins
1 c. applesauce (sweetened for table use)
1 tsp. soda
1 egg
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. hot water
Blend shortening, sugar, and eggs thoroughly in 1 operation. Add raisins and applesauce.
Sift spices and salt with flour and add in several portions. Before the last of the flour
is added, stir in the soda dissolved in hot water. Beat well, pour into a greased loaf or
tube pan and bake about 1 hour at 350 degrees.
Coffee Cream Icing:
4 tbsp. butter or margarine
1/4 tsp. salt
3 or 4 tbsp. hot coffee
2 tbsp. cocoa
2 c. powdered sugar
Blend butter, salt, cocoa and 1/2 cup sugar. Add alternately coffee and rest of sugar until
a spreading consistency is reached.
A reader sent this suggestion:
I wonder if Charlotte might be looking for Orange Kiss-Me Cake.
This was the 1950 Pillsbury Bake-Off winner, so it fits the time frame given by her mom,
probably was printed in a magazine, and it has orange, cinnamon, and raisins. Just a thought.
Have a great day!

Subject: Recipe Request - Independence Burgers
Hello Uncle Phaedrus!
Here is a real challenge for you! I used to make a recipe from the back of the Chex
cereal box called "independence burgers". These are beef hamburgers made with chex
cereal (not sure what else). I have lost the recipe (dated to the 1970's I believe)
and I have had no luck finding anything online. I did find a few recipes which included
pineapple, which is not the one I seek (no pineapple in the recipe I seek). I even
contacted Chex.com (General Mills) to no avail.
It would be great if you could find this!
Thanks, Ginny
Hi Ginny,
See below.

Hello Camp,
As for the Jack Sauce, there's a "recipe" below, but it looks more like the
listing of ingredients from a label, rather than a recipe.
However, several people say it's just French or Russian dressing.

were not provided, the following ingredients are here for your experimenting
