Baked Seal Flippers with Vegetables
 
2 Seal flippers
1 ts Soda
1 qt Cold water
3 sl Salted pork fat
2 Onions, chopped
2 Carrots, cut up
1 Turnip, cut up
1 Parsnip, cut up
5 Potatoes, cut up
1 ts Salt

2 c Sifted flour
4 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt

Soak seal flippers in soda and water to cover for about 1/2 hour.

Remove the white fat from seal meat with a sharp knife. Wash the meat and cut it into serving portions.

Fry the slices of salt pork in a heavy pot, then remove the "scrunchions".

Brown the seal flippers in the hot fat fat, add one cup water, reduce heat and let simmer until partly tender.

Add the chopped vegetables, except the potatoes, and one cup of water. Boil about 30 minutes.

Add the potatoes, salt and pepper and cook another 15 minutes, adding more water if needed and cook until tender.

Place in a casserole and top with biscuit dough as follows:

Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.

Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or two knives.

Add the water and blend to make a stiff dough.

Roll out 1/2 inch thick and place on top of meat and vegetables in casserole.

Bake in hot oven 425 deg F. for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

5 tbsp cocoa
2 sticks butter

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Its a very short recipe and its for dealing with IN LAWS at the holidays

1 bottle (16 oz.) water
1 packet any flavor crstal light drink mix
Vodka (tell ya why in a min.)

Take the bottle of water and pour half out, now fill up with vodka and drink mix packet. I use raspberry ice flavor. Shake and enjoy the inlaws. Now for the reason for the vodka, you cannot smell vodka on your breath, therefore your secret will be safe as long as you dont have more than 1 or 2 bottles of the In-Law Tolerator. Just remember DONT EVER DRINK AND DRIVE, AND ALWAYS BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN DRINKING!!   

 
I am always looking for ways to save money.  My dh & I love to have fresh salad for dinner.  However, it always seems that I have vegetables left over that is not very crisp.  That is when I make my own special soup.

Don't Waste It Zoup!

Just about anything you have left over in your refrigerator.
Water to cover.
A beef or chicken bouillon cube.
Salt, Pepper & season to taste.

Bring to Boil.
Cook on low flame for about 2 hours.

Earthquake Cake

1 C. chopped nuts

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 8 oz. package cream cheese

1/2 C. margarine or butter (1 stick)

1 t. vanilla

2 C. powdered sugar

3/4 C. chocolate chips

Grease a 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle nuts and coconut on bottom of pan. Mix
cake mix as directed on box. Pour over nuts and coconut. In separate
bowl, mix together the cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla. Mix
well and drop by spoonfuls over batter. Sprinkle with the chocolate

Redneck version of above
Head cheese, which I have both prepared and eaten

1 hogs head, cut in half, brain removed (scramble brains with eggs and serve with grits and toast)
bay leaf
salt
black pepper
thyme
sage
red pepper
1 cup cornmeal

Boil hogs head in water to cover in large pot with spices. When meat is falling off the bones remove from pot. Remove and discard bay leaf. In reserved liquid cook cornmeal till done, stirring often. While cornmeal is cooking remove all meat from hogs head and chop finely, when cornmeal mush is done, return to pot and stir to mix well.Season to taste at this point. Pour meat and cornmeal mixture into loaf pans, refrigerate. Serve sliced cold. Do not remove fat from cooking liquid, as it will rise to the top of loaf pans and form an air tight seal which helps the stuff keep longer.
Many people do make this with celery seed but I don't like celery. You can also add onion.
