Elephant's Nest Stew

1 Medium-sized elephant
2 rabbits (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
brown gravy

Cut the elephant into small bite-size pieces.  Add enough brown gravy to cover.  Cook over kerosene fire for about 4 weeks at 465 degrees Fahrenheit. This will serve 3800 people; if more are expected, the 2 rabbits may be added, but do this only in an emergency.  Most people do not like "hare" in their stew

VANESSA'S GARLIC BUTTER

I have made my own recipe for garlic butter for years now. It has incredible taste, especially because of the fresh basil and the lemon juice. I start most of my cooking  (including breakfasts) with a mixture of garlic butter and olive oil, which gives a wonderful taste to almost any dish.

Also great for escargots and dipping crab legs, mussels and clams in hot garlic butter!

A must for West Coast Cuisine! :)

VANESSA'S GARLIC BUTTER

I usually make 4 to 6 pounds at a time to satisfy my family’s craving for it, and for cooking breakfasts. Garlic butter is a great helper in creating quick dinners, like chicken or fish Sautéd in garlic butter, also for escargots and to make garlic toast.

  • 2 pounds butter (or half butter, half margarine)

  • 14 large garlic cloves

  • 1 bunch parsley, coarsely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon basil

  • salt

  • juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

In a food processor combine all ingredients until well blended. Leave in a covered bowl at room temperature for a day to marry the flavours. For serving line pretty molds with plastic wrap, fill with garlic butter and refrigerate or freeze for later use. Turn molds out onto a serving platter when needed. Garnish with a sprig of parsley and a clove of garlic. Once garlic butter is frozen, the molds can be removed for other uses.

***Deutscher Nuss Kuchen***

         German Nut Cake 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(this one takes a bit of work but is so rewarding in the end with its rich, but not too sweet, nutty flavour...mmmmm)
 

Ingredients:

 
  *1/2 cup soft butter
  *1 -1/3 cup sugar
  *1 pkg vanilla sugar
  *8 eggs
  *pinch of salt
  *2 -1/2 cup flour
  *1 tsp baking powder
  *300 gram hazelnuts (grinded)
  *1-1/2 pkg (12 pieces) "BAKERS" semi-sweet baking
     chocolate (1 pkg-280 grams)
 
 
  Directions:

Take 6 pieces of chocolate and finely, cut into pieces, set aside the remaining six pieces.  In large bowl, cream butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and eggs together until smooth.  Then, mix in salt, flour, baking powder, hazelnuts and cut up chocolate pieces.  Mix by hand or electric mixer.  Pour batter into greased baking pan 4"x12.5" ( this is a long narrow bread pan, but a wider, shorter one will probably still work, but may vary the baking time).  Bake at 180 C for 70-80 min.  Let cake fully cool, then take out of pan.   Bring a medium pot of water (filled maybe 2" high) to a slow boil on the stove.  Take remaining 6 pieces of chocolate and place in a mug positioned in pot of hot water.  Stir chocolate in mug until melted.  With a cooking brush, smooth a thin layer of melted chocolate over cake until fully covered.  Let cool.  This cake can be stored in a cool room for up to 3 weeks.  So you can enjoy a little bit every day! :)

Belgian Waffles-Quiet Streams Style

 
Heat Waffle Maker. In a large shallow bowl,
beat 3 eggs with wire whisk/hand beater until fluffy.

Add 3/4 c corn oil/olive oil
3/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla

In med. bowl, stir/sift together
3 1/2 c (1/2 kg) good flour
7 tsp. good quality baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. brown sugar

  Add 2 c. carbonated/mineral water, any type
to the eggs/milk/oil mixture of large bowl.

Gradually fold in flour mixture.

  Beat just until smooth. ALLOW TO SET 1/2 - 1 hr.
This allows the riseability of the baking powder to combine with the carbonated/mineral water, and your batter "rises".

~~~
Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to pour onto hot waffle maker. This keeps it from slopping around your hot griddle and makes cleanup easier.

  Cook ~5 min. or until READY light comes on. Remove carefully . Serve with honey, syrup, whipping cream, jams, jellies, nut butters.

Makes about 15  4" waffle squares.

Freezes really well.
They can be toasted, but thaw them first!!

~~~~~~~~

These also make a nice snack, if you have guests going out hiking.  Make some peanut butter & jam waffle sandwiches!

  If you make these, and like them, we'd love to hear from you.  Thanks.

"Kitty Litter Cake"

1 White Cake Mix
1 Pkg White Sandwich Cookies
1 Large pkg Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
Green food colouring
1 Spice or German Chocolate Cake Mix
12 Small Tootsie Rolls
1 "NEW" kitty litter box
1 "NEW" kitty litter box plastic liner
1 "NEW" pooper scooper
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans).
Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble.
Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, they tend to stick, so scrape often, Set aside but about 1/4 cup.
To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food colouring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar.
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and chilled pudding. (you probably won't need all of the pudding), mix with the cake and "feel"; it, you don't want it soggy, just moist; gently combine.
Line new, clean kitty litter box.
Put mixture into litter box.
Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so that they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed to look like chlorophyll in kitty litter.
Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, 3 at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. This is my addition--only: spread 5 of the remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box; sprinkle it lightly with cookie crumbs.
Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few cookie crumbs around.
Serve with a "new" pooper scooper.
