12 or so small Tootsie Rolls

1 new kitty litter box
1 new plastic kitty box liner
1 new pooper scooper

Prepare cakes as directed

Prepare pudding mix as directed and chill(the pudding not you)

Crumble cookies
Set aside all but about 1/4 c.
To the 1/4 c. add food coloring and mix

Crumble cakes into a LARGE BOWL
biggest one ya got.

toss with 1/2 the remaining cookie crumbs and chilled pudding
Mix enough to moisten it
combine gently

Line a new litter box
put the cake/pudding/cookie mix into the box

Put 3 unwrapped tootsie rolls into micro-wave and nuke till soft
Shape to look like you know what
repeat with 3 more and bury them in the mixture
( I leave the last 3 showing on top for the shock effect)

Sprinkle the other cookie crumbs that were tinted litter green on top


I hide the cake under newspspers till ready to unveil the masterpiece...

reactions to it are hysterical to watch...and the cake is super good...once you can get people to eat it...but once they start it "goes" in a hurry.

For Fish

You will need...

The fish
onions...sliced
green, red, and yellow peppers cut in strips...I like 'em thick
little salt and pepper and I use cayenne(sp) too...just a dash
few pats of butter
and a liberal squirt or two of lemon juice
little parsley for show

wrap it all in tin foil...seal it good
cook at 350 for about 30 minutes or so

throw in a baked potato, corn on the cob, and some bread and/or hushpuppies
tuck you napkin in your collar real good and eat...

you can bake one that way or 20 that way but I would wrap each fish and fixins' separate...put them on a cookie sheet. Sometimes they leak...makes a mess if you don't use a cookie sheet.

Barbecue Sauce....

Friend gave this recipe to me. It is easy and good, stores well and has low fat and is low calorie...

You can make it mild or fiery hot...to your liking.

You Need...

1 Pint cider vinegar
2 tbsp. salt
2 tsp. ground red pepper
1 tbsp. red pepper flakes(this is where you can go mild or wild!)
2 tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar

Combine all ingredients
mix well
let stand for several hours before using...

works on anything...pork, beef, chicken

[Murph]

Hotdog Chili

5 lbs. of good ground beef, cooked and drained

Add....

1 gallon ketchup
2 packets of dry chili mix
2 packets of dry taco mix or sloppy joe mix
5 small onions, cooked and drained
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
Texas Pete to taste

Stir it all up in a large pot, simmer til hot. Be careful not to let it burn on the bottom of the pot. (Each woman in my family had been there, done that....and had to throw it away!)

Another (Sweeter) Version

The recipe is just a little different. They both probably taste the same.

5 lbs. ground beef
1 tbsp. salt
2 oz. dried minced onions
1 12oz. bottle chili catsup
1 32oz. bottle tomato catsup
2 pkgs. sloppy joe mix
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. worcestershire sauce.

This is a traditional sop, kind of like what Jesus handed to Judas only that one probably had meat and gravy. It was given to me by an Egyptian friend...who runs, of all things, a local Italian resturant...

You will need

1 pkg. Feta cheeze(you can use low fat)
1 mediun sized tomato
1 or 2 japeno(sp) peppers
parsley flakes
olive oil(you can use light)
pita bread
your fingers


crumble up feta in a bowl

dice tomato
cut up peppers into small pieces
but first take the seeds out of both tomatoes and peppers!

add olive oil
start with about 1/4 cup and if it isn't mushy enough add more

add about a tablespoon of parsley flakes
and stir it up

cut pita in quarters

here is where your fingers come in
scoop the Feta sop up with your fingers and put it on the pita bread, roll it up or fold it over, and put the whole thing in your mouth and enjoy!

Sometimes I cut up black olives and add those too.

Made this cake for Christmas Eve dinner...my Birthday Cake. It went fast and is very good. At the end of the evening only crumbs were left.

Sausage Cake

1 lb. pork sausage(use hot and spicy)
3 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
3 1/4 cups flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup cold strong coffee
1 cup raisans
1 cup walnuts or pecans
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp allspice

Grease a 9 or 10 inch tube pan and line the bottom with waxed paper. Mix sausage with sugar. Add the beaten egg and mix well. Add the soda to the coffee, then stir mixture into sausage. Add the raisins, nuts, salt, flour, and spices. Mix well. The batter will be very stiff. Turn into a tube pan bake at 350 degrees for an hour or until the cake shrinks away from the sides of the pan and cake tester comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Turn out on a wire rack to cool completely. You can drizzle the cake with an icing (caramel or one of your choice)

When I first glanced at this topic's name I thought it read 'Cooked Duck', and I thought 'Oh Lord, what's Marilyn got into now?' ;D

Awesome 'receipts' Duckie! Can't wait to try'm! I'm sure Nita will have some to post, and I actually might come up with one or two...

[Murph]

I've had my goose cooked once or twice...and eaten crow, had my tail feathers singed on occassion...

and I got more recipes. I look forward to swooping recipes with Nita. And I am very curious to see what you are going to post.

I got one special for Red and DB. It is my Dad's recipe for venison marinade...

[Murph]

DB marinates his deer meat in peroxide. He will have to tell you about that one.

I am too "chicken" to try it.

;D

Let's just say that I can toast bread like a mad-man! ;D

Actually, I've got a stew recipe that'll knock yer' socks off. My dad said "You thought of using all these spices?" Y-e-e-e-a-h, I did... ;D

[DB]

I had to reread that cat crap cake recipie several times to get it that is was for real , I thought it was a joke, well it is in a way, but edible- I reckon.

I was also glad I did not bring any coffee with me today to catch up on my reading, my monitor would have been an absolute mess, as well as keyboard.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time- thanks Duck, I know you did not mean to post that reci pee for laughs only but it made my day.

I agree Brother Keiffer, I too thought at first Duck had been 'cooked'!!

I wish I could list some of my cookin' , but I don't go by no fixed recipeas. I throw stuff together and see how it tastes.

As for the deer meat, battery acid might work also, but seriously, I do marinate beef, chicken, pork, and deer meat in 3% solution of H2O2( hydrogen peroxide). If you ever get the guts enought to try it , you'll never use anything else.( yeah, I know what a lot of you pranksters are thinking for a comeback on that last line " you'll be dead, that's why you'll never use anything else"), If you are serious, I'll share but if'n you be ckikin' like Duck----keep on chewin'!

DB--(keep on watchin' Kiefer ol' pal (wink smiley here!!) ).

I do a lot of fishing in the local rivers here in the county where I live, and I love to eat fish. Here's one for the spicy side.

I take the fillets and soak them in vinegar and water for 10-30 minutes. Then take a sheet of aluminum foil, place the fish in the foil . Then cover them with Louisianna hot sauce (enough to last for about 20 min. or so in the oven or grill), I also like to add lemon pepper and Old Bay to the mixture. Fold the foil up so the sauce and seasonings do not leak out, and place them in the oven or on the grill, check on 'em till the fillets are tender and almost falling apart- they 're done!

Some may like a little hotter sauce like Tobasco or their homemade, but I think the Louisianna gives the fish a good taste and being wrapped up in the foil help keeps them from drying out.

However, the fish will be a little more healthier than the traditional 'southern pan fried' delicacy that I do enjoy myself.

Try it , if you like fish I feel you'll enjoy! Hey, the opportunity for improvement is left up to your individual taste, keep at it until it suits you! ;D


on the more manly side:
Carp.

Prepare carp fillets.
Place them on a piece of pine bark.
Bake in oven for 1 hour on low heat.
take them out and throw the carp away.
eat the pine bark- enjoy!

Duck, I still be waitin' for that venison 'special'... I got a nice hind quarter in the freezer I need to do something with soon.

[Murph]

I though you had written you had your hind quarter in the freezer and had a few choice remarks to make till I read it the second time... ;D

My Dad's Venison Marinade
Fool proof, works everytime

1 cup salad oil
1 cup white vinegar
2 meduim onions...sliced
1 cup chopped celery
several end celery stalks with leaves
1 clove garlic
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tbsp Worcestersiererer
1 to 3 bay leaves(I use 3)

mix it all together in a big bowl and soak venison overnite. I cook the venison in the marinade. Take the celery leaves out though...will make it bitter.

oven at 325...cook it slow or it will dry out, about 45 min. per pound.

Tuck your napkin in your collar...and go for it!

you can add potatoes and carrots before you cook the meat...and cook it altogether...

leavin's makes very good gravy too...a little flour and a little water and you got gravy.

Add biscuits and you got a banquet!

Throw a chocolate chess pie in and company's comin'...

[Murph]

When you mix up the biscuits put some dill in the mix...
and let your butter soften a bit and mush dill and a dash of lemon juice in it. Then put in back in the fridge and let it get firm again...

boy, am I gettin' hungry!

[DB]

thanks Duck, that sounds mighty good.

I may need a little clarification, what kind of 'salad oil' do you use?

I plan on trying this out as soon as the meeting is over/ not going to rush the meeting though, I would'nt mind a month, but we'll let the Lord decide that.

Also I like your spelling of worshester sauce.........hee hee.. I hope you're on the road to
recovery. Glad to see you getting an apetite.

[Murph]

Vegatable oil is what I use.

Still feeling rocky. Had to ask the Substitute SS teacher to teach tomorrow. Thought I could but...when you go to the kitchen to get something to drink and have to take a nap before you drink it...maybe trying to go somewhere is not such a good idea.

Praying for the meetings...I can do that.

[DB]

Thanks Sister Duck,
I'm sitting here waiting For Brother Joe now, I too am getting hugry, where's that fried chicken??

Take care of yourself, and I aprreciate the prayers!!!!!
