Title: Girl Scout Lemonades
Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Citrus
Yield: 18 cookies

MMMMM-------------------------COOKIES--------------------------------
2 3/4 c A-P flour
1 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1/2 lb Unsalted butter; softened,
- room temp
1 c Granulated sugar
1 ts Lemon extract
1 lg Egg

MMMMM--------------------------ICING---------------------------------
2 c Powdered sugar
1 tb Lemon extract
1 tb Water
Yellow gel food coloring

Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC and line 2 large baking
sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine flour, baking
powder and salt with a fork. Mix well and set aside.

In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter and
sugar using an electric hand or stand mixer. Mix until
smooth and fully combined.

Add egg and lemon extract. Mix again until smooth.

Add flour mixture in, half at a time, and mix until
fully combined and dough-like.

Place cookie dough in the refrigerator for about 30
minutes before you roll out the cookie dough.

Remove dough from the bowl and place it on a flat,
lightly floured surface.

Using your hands, flatten the dough pressing downward.

Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about 1/4"
3/8" thick.

Using a 2" round cookie cutter, cut rounds from dough
and place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheets at
least 2" apart.

Using a lemon cookie stamp or an inspirational phrase
cookie stamp, create your pattern on the top of the
cutouts. Press the stamp firmly into the dough until the
indentations make it at least half way through.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

When done, allow the cookies to cool completely on the
pan before making the icing.

ICING: In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered
sugar, lemon extract, water and about 2 inches of yellow
gel food coloring. Mix with a fork until fully combined
and smooth. It will be very thick at first.

When the icing is at the perfect consistency, spoon out
about 1 tablespoon onto the back (non-pressed side) of
the cookie. Use your spoon to push the icing around so
it naturally levels and covers the entire surface.

Do this for each cookie, working one at a time.

When all of your cookies are covered in icing, allow
them to sit at room temperature for 6 hours or overnight
so that the icing completely hardens before serving.

MAKES: 18 cookies

Hi Dave,

FINISHING UP

Not even on your PB&J sandwiches? <VBSEG>

Not even those. (G)

I'm the same way with bologna that you are with peanut butter. It
really does trigger my gag reflex.

I bought some bologna probably a couple of years ago; hadn't bought any
in years (maybe decades?), thought we'd switch off from our usual lunch
meats (turkey, ham, roast beef). We'll stay with our usual 3, thank you
very much. Not quite a gag reflex but not a taste we'd like to repeat.

Title: Apple Rice Pudding
Categories: Diabetic, Desserts, Rice, Fruits
Yield: 6 Servings

Hmm, looks interesting. I use brown rice, jasmine rice or a rice blend (put out by Lundberg). The brown would work the best all around of the
3, jasmine and blend is for when I cook Asian or just want a different side.

My default rice is bassmati (or Texmati). No special reason for it -
just fell into its use after buting a BIG (30#) bag at a Big Lots
store. Realised when I got it home that's a LOT of rice. Especially
for a single guy cooking mostly for himself.

It freezes well, both raw and cooked. I've got some in the freezer I
need to pull out this week and use, maybe in chicken soup now that the weather has cooled down. Also have to pull out some pumpkin next week
to make a pumpkin roll for Steve's birthday.

I've tought about making a punkin roll once -- until I read all of the directions/steps. I;ll let someone else assemble mine.

I don't think it's that hard to do, but then again, I've done it so
often that it's not quite a no brainer proccess.

Or used canned peaches. They don'r mess them up too badly when putting them in cans. I drain and rinse them first.

No, and I've used them from time to time, also canned them at various
times. Still prefer fresh, if those aren't available, then home canned. Commercial canned is the last resort.

Have to keep this in mind for next year's peach season.

No, and I've used them from time to time, also canned them at various times. Still prefer fresh, if those aren't available, then home canned. Commercial canned is the last resort.

Theonly canning of peaches I have done - or even helped with - is what my grandmother called "pickled peaches" They have an entirely different flavor profile from straight-up canned peaches.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Mimi's Pickled Peaches
Categories: Fruits, Spices, Preserving
Yield: 6 Pints

4 lb Medium Clingstone peaches
4 c Granulated sugar
1 c White vinegar
1 c Tap water
6 (3") cinnamon sticks
Handful whole cloves; stems
- on
2 ts Pickling spices

THE NIGHT BEFORE Blanch and peel peaches, but leave them
whole. Place in a large glass bowl and pour the sugar
over them. Gently mix with hands until sugar covers all
the peaches. Cover with a clean cloth and let them set
overnight.

Sterilize 6 pint mason jars, lids and rings, and set
aside.

THE NEXT MORNING Drain the peaches, pouring the liquid
into a heavy large saucepan or dutch oven. Place the
peaches back in the bowl and set aside.

Add the vinegar, water and spices to the syrup in the
pan, and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.

While syrup is boiling, press one or two cloves into
each peach. After syrup has boiled for 5 minutes, add
the peaches to it and continue boiling for 20 minutes or
until peaches are tender.

WARNING: BE CAREFUL DURING THE NEXT STEPS - YOU WILL BE
HANDLING VERY HOT FOOD.

Using a slotted spoon, place peaches into sterile jars.
Fit them snugly into the jars, but do not force them or
they will bruise.

Place one cinnamon stick into each jar. Ladle the liquid
into each jar until it is 1/2" from the rim. It is
important to leave this "breathing" space.

With a dry clean cloth, wipe the rim and the jar clean.
Seal with lids and rings.

Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes to seal.

Remove from water and set aside to cool. These can be
stored in the pantry when still sealed. However, once
you have opened a jar, store in the ice box.
